Background: We investigated whether psychosocial determinants self-efficacy and social support are associated with Health-Related Quality of Life in hemodialysis patients enrolled in the CONVINCE trial. Methods: We used baseline data from the cohort of patients involved in the CONVINCE randomized trial of hemodiafiltration versus hemodialysis. Measures included age, gender, relationship status, ch

Integrating low-power wearable systems into routine health monitoring is an ongoing challenge. Recent advances in the computation capabilities of wearables make it possible to target complex scenarios by exploiting multiple biosignals and using high-performance algorithms, such as Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). However, there is a tradeoff between the algorithms' performance and the low-power requir

The exhibition marks the Norwegian debut of Værslev’s most recent series of works, the curtain paintings, previously seen at Galerie Mehdi Chouakri in Berlin and Andrew Kreps in New York.

X-ray and neutron crystallography, as well as cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), are the most common methods to obtain atomic structures of biological macromolecules. A feature they all have in common is that, at typical resolutions, the experimental data need to be supplemented by empirical restraints, ensuring that the final structure is chemically reasonable. The restraints are accurate f

Background Most women who are high-risk human papilloma virus (hrHPV) positive in a cervical cancer screening test will spontaneously heal from their infection. Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) is recommended by the World Health Organization as a triage test for cervical screening, however its accuracy as a triage test has been questioned. In this study, we aimed to examine the sensitivity

This work consists of large strips of painted cotton (i.e., canvas) arranged and displayed as sets of bunched-up curtains.

The recent popularity of audiobooks has led to new ways of using the format as publishers and producers reproduce and “reactualise” older works by adapting them into audio. The article examines this development, focusing on the case of Storytel’s 2022 audio adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 and the marketing campaign surrounding it, combining a publishing studies approach (Squires 2007; Murray 20

From the press text by Hans Dieter Huber:"For his new curtain objects, he uses thin cotton of the kind used in shirt production. He primes it very thinly with 20-30 layers of colour in an aqueous solution. These can be normal colour pigments, but also metal pigments. He uses a long stick with a lambskin roller to apply the paint. This is important for him in order to achieve a certain distance fro

Överskuldsättning innebär en situation där en individs svårigheter att återbetala sina skulder ger upphov till en kontrollförlust över ekonomin. Överskuldsättning är ett stort och växande problem i Sverige som ger upphov till en rad olika folkhälsoproblem. Unga vuxna personer är en särskilt sårbar grupp för att hamna i skuldsättningsproblem. Fokus i detta kapitel är att analysera unga vuxna person

Background: People with early axial spondyloarthritis experience a diagnostic delay and a similar disease burden as people with axial spondyloarthritis at a later stage of the disease. In many European countries, patients with early axial spondyloarthritis do not have access to an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team. The objective of this study was to develop a new evidence-based physiotherapist

Diderot's Encyclopédie is a reference work from XVIIIth century in Europe that aimed at collecting the knowledge of its era. Wikipedia has the same ambition with a much greater scope. However, the lack of digital connection between the two encyclopedias may hinder their comparison and the study of how knowledge has evolved. A key element of Wikipedia is Wikidata that backs the articles with a grap

Mammalian vocalisations are extremely diverse, and evolutionary approaches to understanding this diversity assume that much of their acoustic form maps onto their function, with specific features serving universal roles. Here, we hypothesize that nonlinear phenomena (i.e., deterministic chaos, sidebands, subharmonics, and frequency jumps), which make the voice perceptually rough or harsh, contribu

X-ray multi-projection imaging (XMPI) is an emerging experimental technique for the acquisition of rotation-free, time-resolved, volumetric information on stochastic processes. The technique is developed for high-brilliance light-source facilities, aiming to address known limitations of state-of-the-art imaging methods in the acquisition of 4D sample information, linked to their need for sample ro

Purpose: Complications from diabetes mellitus can occur over time and although glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a good biomarker for glycaemic control, other factors also contribute to the development of complications in type 1 diabetes. More markers able to identify the risk of complications are needed. This study aimed to investigate plasma levels of FGF21, Cystatin C, lipocalin-2, and MMP-9 i

A cell’s ability to sense and respond to mechanical cues from its extracellular environment is essential for maintaining the health of itself and its organism. The mechanical cues a cell encounters include physical forces such as shear, tensile, and compressive forces, as well as cues arising from the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), such as stiffness or composition. Throug

We uncover the occurrence of shear banding in dense suspensions of compressible microgels. Velocimetry measurements evidence the presence of permanent but unsteady shear-banding for sufficiently small Peclet numbers, with the formation of a central plug-like flow. Small-angle neutron scattering experiments under shear link the observed banding phenomenon to structural variations along the velocity

We consider the most energetically favorable symmetry-allowed spin-singlet and spin-triplet superconducting pairing symmetries in twisted bilayer graphene at the magic angle, whose normal state physics is described by a six-band effective tight-binding model. We compute the Chern number as a function of the superconducting order parameter strength and the chemical potential and we find a topologic
