Purpose This study aims to explore young service users’ and carers’ experiences of dual diagnosis treatment, and their perceptions of the changes brought about by the implementation of integrated treatment in mental health services throughout Denmark. It also aims to explore whic...

The association of home characteristics and risk of respiratory tract infections and acute otitis media in the first 18 months of life: a study of ~ 48 000 children in the Danish National Birth Cohort

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and acute otitis media (AOM) in the first 18 months of life have a large societal and individual impact and household conditions may be important in primary prevention thereof. To assess protective and harmful prenatal home exposures on RTIs an...

Consistent drivers of coastal biodiversity across the tree of life

Coastal ecosystems are threatened by global change but remain understudied despite their importance for biodiversity and human society. For instance, most coastal studies and monitoring programs focus on a few groups of organisms owing to methodological limitations. However, high...

Infrared spectroscopy of coronene+ and C60+ resolving 13C isotopologues

Infrared signatures of carbonaceous molecules in space vary among different lines of sight and astronomical objects, providing information on the local ratio of 13C-12C. The interpretation of these observations relies on high-resolution laboratory spectra capable of resolving iso...

Prognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography–Derived Fractional Flow Reserve From a Large Nationwide Cohort

BACKGROUND: The diagnostic value of coronary computed tomography angiography–derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) in stable coronary artery disease is well established. The prognostic value of predicting future cardiovascular events is less clear, as studies are limited by sm...

Phraseology and phraseodidactics. Current status and future prospects

Abstract Phraseodidactics is a transdisciplinary field of research that makes findings from research on phraseology directly applicable to language teaching. Since successful communication is largely based on pre-formed multi-word units (MWUs), also referred to as phrasemes, the...

Differentiating distributed leadership: introducing distributed professional development leadership and its motivational consequences

Traditional hierarchical approaches to governing and leading public professionals have not always proven successful, and integrative and hybrid perspectives on professionalism are therefore receiving increasing attention. This study integrates professional development leadership...

Conditional gender gaps in welfare state support: The role of labor market and household inequality

Abstract Why are women more supportive of the welfare state than men? Existing literature on this attitudinal gender gap focuses mainly on how men and women, on average, experience varied risks in the labor market. Feminist scholarship argues that the welfare state has the potent...

The Global Carbon Budget as a cointegrated system

Abstract The Global Carbon Budget, maintained by the Global Carbon Project, summarizes Earth’s global carbon cycle through four annual time series beginning in 1959: atmospheric CO2 concentrations, anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and CO2 uptake by land and by ocean. We analyze these...

Lifetime substance use disorder and suicidal behaviour: a population-based familial co-aggregation register study

Abstract Substance use disorders (SUD) are associated with suicidal behaviour, but less is known regarding the extent to which familial factors influence these associations across different types of SUD. We performed a national register study including 4,209,615 individuals born...

Partial replacement of soybean meal with alfalfa meal in reduced-protein diets for finishing pigs: effects on muscle nutrient composition, nitrogen utilization, and gut microbiota

This study evaluated a dietary reformulation involving partial replacement of soybean meal with 15% alfalfa meal and a moderate reduction in dietary crude protein (CP), focusing on muscle nutrient composition, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen (N) excretion, and gut microbiota in...

Exploring L-tyrosine and L-DOPA biosynthesis in faba bean ( Vicia faba L.)

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: L-DOPA is an important pharmaceutical that accumulates to high levels in the legume faba bean (Vicia faba). L-DOPA is likely derived from L-tyrosine but the responsible enzyme (L-tyrosine oxidase) remains unknown. Availability of L-tyrosine may be a key facto...

Nature and Nurture in a Language Model: Installable Value Fields, Intrinsic Capacity, and the Forward-Consolidation Boundary

Behavioural Friction Theory decomposes the forces that govern a bounded decision system into four cognitive fields — Safety, Meaning, Ability, Effort. Are these fields intrinsic to a substrate, or the generic product of its exposure to experience? This paper uses a large language...

Thermal management to avoid heat stress during transport

The factsheet describes good practices for preventing and mitigating heat stress in poultry transported to slaughter, particularly end-of-lay birds, i.e., laying hens and broiler breeders, that often face long journeys and extended water deprivation. It recommends assessing weath...

Comparison of the Distribution of Fitness Effects Across Primates

Abstract The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of mutations is a key determinant of both the efficacy of natural selection and the genetic load of populations. It also provides an indirect summary of the underlying fitness landscape, so the extent to which the DFE is conserve...

LEVERAGING A NETWORK OF EHR-LINKED BIOBANKS TO INVESTIGATE CLINICAL AND GENETIC RISK FOR PERINATAL DEPRESSION

Perinatal depression (PND) is a depressive illness occurring during pregnancy and up to one year following childbirth. PND affects 10-20% of mothers and can contribute to maternal mortality and morbidity, as well as adverse outcomes in children. Despite increasing interest in ris...

Ritualising Waste, Disposal and Afterlife in Japanese Buddhism

Religious waste requires special attention from religious practitioners. Handling of emotionally charged exhausted objects, human-like dolls and ‘lonely deaths’ likewise reflects key aspects of the religion and the cultural understanding of what is and what is not valued as endur...

The structural political power of firms – and its boundaries

This article examines the conditional importance of structural power in determining firms’ political influence. While structural power derived from firms’ economic size has been widely theorised as a key determinant of business influence, it is argued here that its effect is high...
