Intensity and instability of affective and cognitive states in borderline personality disorder compared to remitted mood disorders and population-based controls: an Ecological Momentary Assessment study

Abstract Background Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) is one of the methods of choice for the evaluation of affective dynamics. Several studies have been conducted on the subject focusing on borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, most have only compared BPD to health...

Serum GFAP and Age Accurately Distinguish AQP4 ‐ IgG Positive and Double Seronegative NMOSD From MOGAD After a Recent Attack

BACKGROUND: Serum neurofilament-light chain (sNfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (sGFAP) are associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) activity. This study aimed to identify patient- and disease-level determinants of sNfL and sGFAP and to evaluate their ability to support dif...

Cascading effects of insufficient seed cold stratification across early life-stages in three temperate trees: impaired phenology and reduced seedling fitness under climate warming

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Global warming is shortening winters in temperate ecosystems, limiting cold stratification for seeds with physiological dormancy (PD). The consequences of incomplete dormancy release can cascade beyond germination, potentially affecting fitness in subsequent...

Early systemic intervention for vitiligo: A prospective bicentric interventional study

BACKGROUND: Vitiligo is a complex autoimmune skin disease characterized by loss of melanocytes resulting in the appearance of white skin patches. Recent advances in treatment have improved patient outcomes, but the process of repigmentation is prolonged and often incomplete. OBJE...

High-Dimensional Analysis of Ridge Regression for Non-identically Distributed Data with a Variance Profile

Abstract. High-dimensional linear regression has been thoroughly studied in the context of independent and identically distributed data. We propose to investigate high-dimensional regression models for independent but non-identically distributed data. To this end, we suppose that...

Mental health and substance use in Europe: initial steps towards a common European approach

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Comorbid substance use and other mental health disorders contribute to more than one million years lived with disability in Europe according to the Global Burden of Disease study. They require a comprehensive approach, yet, in Europe, there is considerable va...

Jus cogens and the duty to act: the institutional inaction of the European Union in light of Article 265 TFEU

Abstract In the JURDI case, a French non-governmental organisation invoked Article 265 TFEU to challenge the EU Commission and Council’s inaction towards Israel despite the finding of the International Court of Justice that there was a plausible risk of genocide in the Gaza Strip...

Complex posttraumatic stress disorder and emotion dysregulation: A better understanding of the literature through a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE: This Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses systematic review aimed to clarify and summarize what is known about the role of emotion dysregulation (ED) in complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) from both cross-sectional and longitudin...

Controlling Spin Filtering through Molecular Length in Helical Aromatic Oligomers

Chiral 8-amino-2-carboxylic acid quinoline-based aromatic oligoamide foldamers with lengths up to circa 5 nm were synthesized to investigate their spin filtering properties. A thiolated quinoline monomer was designed and incorporated at one extremity of the chiral helices to enab...

3D thermal modeling of Lascaux Cave: Dynamics of air circulation and implications for its microclimate

Understanding the thermal dynamics of painted caves, such as the Lascaux Cave, is essential for predicting and preventing deterioration of walls and artworks, particularly through processes such as condensation. As a first step, heat conduction within the surrounding rock mass wa...

On Hyperbolic Approximations for a Class of Dispersive and Diffusive-Dispersive Equations

Abstract We introduce novel approximate systems for dispersive and diffusive-dispersive equations with nonlinear fluxes. For purely dispersive equations, we construct a first-order, strictly hyperbolic approximation. Local well-posedness of smooth solutions is achieved by constru...

Net carbon losses in Central African forests revealed by high-resolution biomass change maps

Dense humid forests in Central Africa hold vast biomass carbon stocks but are increasingly affected by small-scale disturbances that are difficult to detect with current satellite observations. Here, we generate 10 m canopy height maps for 2019–2022 using deep learning with space...

Generalizable and equitable automated ischaemic stroke lesion segmentation with vision transformers

Abstract Background Ischaemic stroke, a leading cause of death and disability, relies on neuroimaging for characterising the anatomical pattern of injury. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) provides the most anatomically specific signal in acute ischaemic stroke but poses substantial c...

Buried in the pantry: using archaeoentomology to assess cave reuse at the pre-Hispanic site of Cruz de la Esquina

Entomology, the study of insects, is an integral part of modern forensic science and can also make substantial contributions in archaeology. Here, the authors report on archaeoentomological analyses conducted within the Cruz de la Esquina funerary cave (Acusa Seca, Gran Canaria,...

Effects of biodynamic preparations on grape skin structure and composition

Biodynamic viticulture, with its holistic philosophy, is gaining traction among professionals in the French wine industry. This approach incorporates the use of compost, herbal infusions, and organic and mineral preparations. Many biodynamic winegrowers highlight the impact of th...

Tuning the Activation Barrier for Oxygen Exchange on Mixed Conducting Oxide with Fine Control of Transition Metal Impurities

Abstract The energy barrier for oxygen exchange at the surface of mixed conducting oxides is a multifactor term that remains difficult to predict with existing models. Here, we describe an experimental approach to fine-tune this barrier on Pr0.1Ce0.9O2-δ used as a model mixed con...

Auditing sex/gender disparities in emergency triage with LLM-based paired comparisons

We present a domain-agnostic paired-comparison approach that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to quantify sex/gender-related asymmetries in documented clinical decision-making. The method trains an LLM to emulate observed decisions, then evaluates sex-swapped pairs in which only...

Topological Reinforcement of Rhizosphere Microbial Networks Facilitates the Invasive Superiority of Spartina anglica

Rhizosphere microbial interaction patterns underpin the resilience and dominance of invasive plants in fluctuating coastal salt marshes. We compared the rhizosphere microbial communities of the invasive Spartina anglica and the native Spartina maritima across varying distances fr...

Sympatric European white oaks species display contrasting epigenetic response to soil water availability

Abstract In the context of climate change plants have to cope with adverse conditions, among which water scarcity is a major threat for their survival. They have developed diverse regulatory processes to face drought that may differ depending on their ecological niche. The two sy...

Built-in selection bias in proportional hazards models with omitted covariates: Simulation evidence and alternative approaches

In time-to-event analysis, the hazard ratio derived from the Cox proportional hazards model is the most commonly used and widely reported measure for assessing treatment effects. However, hazard ratios are non-collapsible due to their inherent conditioning on survival up to each...
