Electrochemical click chemistry for controlled and localized biosensor surface functionalization

Biosensor performance depends strongly on the properties of the functionalized electrode interface, making robust and controllable surface modification strategies highly desirable. In this work, we investigate electrochemical click chemistry (E-click) as an electrochemically driv...

Measuring higher education: comparing Danish survey and register data in the study of values

Abstract This paper addresses both methodological and substantive issues. The methodological issue relates to the measurement of education, particularly tertiary education, in social science research, while the substantive issue concerns the relationship between higher education...

Blood Pressure Targets During General Anaesthesia in High‐Risk Patients—A Randomised Clinical Feasibility Trial

BACKGROUND: There is limited high-quality evidence to guide haemodynamic and respiratory management during general anaesthesia. The goal of this trial was to test the feasibility of testing different ventilatory settings and blood pressure targets. Previous trials on blood pressu...

Layered Defect-Filling co-Assembled Carbazole-Based SAMs Deliver 20% Organic Solar Cells and 17% Mini-Modules

Abstract Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used as hole-transport layers (HTLs) in organic solar cells (OSCs), yet conventional single-component SAMs often form quasi-monolayers with incomplete coverage and interfacial defects that become increasingly detrimental upon d...

Inter- and intraspecific variation in seed germination traits of Arctic plant species

Abstract Cold adapted plant species often dependent on seed dormancy breakage for successful germination, yet the effects of climate-driven changes in soil temperature on this process remain unclear. To improve our understanding of temperature impacts on seed dormancy breakage of...

Children's lived experiences of transitioning between hospital and home in paediatric oncology: A qualitative study

PURPOSE: Advances in paediatric oncology have improved survival rates, but intensive treatments and frequent hospitalisations disrupt family life. Hospital-to-home transitions are critical yet underexplored in the cancer trajectory. Existing models of discharge planning primarily...

EMG-derived cycle-time assessment of passive back-support exoskeletons in construction workers during repetitive masonry manual handling tasks

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders remain highly prevalent among construction workers due to repetitive manual handling and physically demanding tasks. While passive back-support exoskeletons have demonstrated biomechanical benefits, their impact on worker productivity remain...

Cannabis‐Based Oil for Pain and Other Non‐Motor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of treatments for non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and effectiveness of an oral Cannabis sativa L. extract on pain and other NMS of PD. METHODS: This phase II, randomized, placebo-controlled trial ev...

Key factors for growth and phosphate uptake by Acinetobacter tjernbergiae

Abstract Phosphorus-containing fertilisers are essential for global food production but depend on finite phosphate rock reserves. Recovery of phosphorus from waste streams, such as those in wastewater treatment plants, will be required to follow future regulations. Certain Acinet...

The Cultivation, Sustenance, and Disruption of Zombie Pedagogies in Higher Education

The zombie pedagogy metaphor has gained notable traction within critical higher education scholarship. However, much of its deployment has focused on cataloging pedagogical practices deemed “undead,” rather than interrogating the institutional conditions that animate and sustain...

Assessment of degradation in Ion pair membrane high temperature PEM fuel cells using commercial and customized catalysts under varied operating conditions

High-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) present considerable advantages, such as high energy efficiency and tolerance to fuel impurities; however, durability issues and catalyst costs remain major barriers to commercial adoption. This study systematically...

Risk of Bias Associated with Varying Sampling Strategies for External Comparator Cohorts for Single‐Arm Trials: Insights from Aggressive Lymphoma

Marketing authorizations for oncology drugs are often based on single-arm trials (SATs), and real-world data-based external comparator cohorts (ECCs) are increasingly explored to contextualize results. In retrospective studies, comparators may be identified by time of diagnosis b...

Systematic review of green hydrogen and e-fuel integration in large-scale sector-coupled energy system models

The transition towards renewable energy has accelerated interest in green hydrogen and e-fuels as scalable solutions for decarbonising hard-to-electrify sectors. This paper presents a critical appraisal of the existing literature, supported by a systematic review of 271 peer-revi...

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation and emotional responding in borderline personality disorder: a randomized single-blind, sham-controlled study

BACKGROUND: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by severe emotional vulnerability, including heightened sensitivity, exaggerated reactivity, and delayed recovery from emotional arousal. Altered interoceptive-affective processing may contribute to these features...

Temporal associations between severe infection and long-term risk of incident arrhythmias: a population-based cohort study

The long-term impact of severe infection on arrhythmia risk across the cardiac rhythm spectrum remains incompletely characterized. We investigated the association between hospital-treated infection and incident arrhythmias, examining temporal patterns, pathogen and site specifici...
