ObjectiveThis paper examines a previously neglected phenomenon in doctor-patient interaction studies, i.e. the achievement of mutual disengagement—a specific state of coordination, in which participants suspend reciprocal gaze and turn into separate axes of involvement. In the specialized setting of the oncology visit, which we consider in this study, mutual disengagement is linked to important ta
This paper assesses the interrelation between economic inequality and social mobility in the long run. We use the unique Barcelona Historical Marriage Database for 1545-1880, accounting for more than 60,000 parents-children links. Analytically, we combine individuals' socioeconomic relative position for decomposing inequality individually in the overall population and by subgroups (social class) w
For magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of non-traumatic brachial plexus (BP) lesions, sequences with contrast injection should be considered in the differentiation between tumors, infection, postoperative conditions, and post-radiation changes. The most common non-traumatic inflammatory BP neuropathy is radiation neuropathy. T2-weighted images may help to distinguish neoplastic infiltration showing
The chapter analyses three cases that all began as rape reports, but where seemingly greater dangers, such as “the HIV virus” and “the Internet”, were identified and prioritised over rape in the news. Consequently, the news media figures the HIV Man, Alexandra Man and Hotboy were introduced. Based on the overarching question “How is rape portrayed in the news media?” the objective is to analyse ho
Background and purpose - Knowing how to interpret values obtained with patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) is essential. We estimated the substantial clinical benefit (SCB) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) for Forgotten Joint Score 12 (FJS) and explored differences depending on methods used for the estimates. Patients and methods - The study was based on 195 knee arthroplasties (K
Introduction: Despite the publication of clinical practice guidelines, the quality of the care process as experienced by patients with osteoarthritis (OA) appears suboptimal. Hence, this study investigates how patients with OA experience their disease and care process, highlighting potential elements that can enhance or spoil it, to optimise their quality of care. Methods: A qualitative study base
Aims. We aim to constrain the mixing processes in low-mass stars by investigating the behaviour of the Li surface abundance after the main sequence. We take advantage of the data from the sixth internal data release of Gaia-ESO, IDR6, and from the Gaia Early Data Release 3, EDR3s. Methods. We selected a sample of main-sequence, sub-giant, and giant stars in which the Li abundance is measured by th
Resonant Auger (RA) decay spectra of carbon 1s excited CH3Cl molecules are recorded with angular resolution using linearly polarized synchrotron radiation. The selected photon energies corresponding to the C 1s→8a1 core to lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and C 1s→4sa1, 4pe, and 4pa1 core to Rydberg excitations of methyl chloride are used and electrons in the binding energy range of 11-37 eV ar
INTRODUCTION: Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC) is currently considered the standard of care for pseudomyxoma peritonei, mesothelioma and peritoneal metastases (PM) from colorectal cancer. CRS + HIPEC has also been suggested as a potential treatment option in PM of the much rarer small bowel cancer. Therefore, the current study was undertaken to inve
Measurements of anisotropic flow coefficients (vn) and their cross-correlations using two- and multiparticle cumulant methods are reported in collisions of pp at s=13 TeV, p-Pb at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 TeV, Xe-Xe at sNN=5.44 TeV, and Pb-Pb at sNN=5.02 TeV recorded with the ALICE detector. The multiplicity dependence of vn is studied in a very wide range from 20 to 3000
In the last two decades, the retail sector has experienced unprecedented upheaval, having severe implications for economic development and sustenance of traditional inner-city retail dis-tricts. In the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, this effect has been exacerbated by a series of earthquakes in 2010/2011 which destroyed much of the traditional retail precinct of the city. After exten-sive rebu
There is limited knowledge on the effect of seasonal flooding on health over time.We quantified the short- and long-term effects of floods on selected health indicators at publichealthcare facilities in 11 districts in Cambodia, a flood-prone setting. Counts of inpatient dischargediagnoses and outpatient consultations for diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, skin infections,injuries, noncommuni
(Figure presented.). Six out of seven crystal systems are optically anisotropic and birefringent. We review recent insight that biaxial crystals generally exhibit four singular axes (or exceptional points) which can pairwise degenerate for special cases. Planar anisotropic microcavities are discussed as effectively biaxial systems and we predict exceptional points and demonstrate experimentally pa
Background: Further knowledge is needed regarding long-term outcome ofemotional symptoms, and the interplay between these symptoms and neuropsychological functioning in youth with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Objective: We aimed to explore the effect of performance-based neurocognitive functions and parent-rated behavioral executive functioning (EF) on self-rated and parent-rat
Calorie restriction (CR) is suggested to prevent the development of mammary tumors (MTs); however, the mechanism remains to be clarified. We aimed to determine the microRNA (miRNA) profile in mice applied to 2 different CR protocols; chronic (CCR) and intermittent (ICR) and follow the MT development. In addition, the roles of miRNAs involved in adiponectin and/or leptin signaling pathways were inv
Every day we perform several recurring activities with little or no guidance from conscious intention. These daily and repetitive actions are often referred to as habits. The situation with Covid-19 has had a dramatic impact on how we go about our daily lives and how we interact with other persons at home or at work. In relation to working life one specific aspect was that many office workers were
The healthcare sector throughout the world is identified for its outsized carbon footprint. Despite the mounting importance of employees’ pro-environmental behavior (PEB) for decarboniza-tion, the role of PEB in a healthcare context was less emphasized previously, especially in a developing country context. To address this knowledge gap, the current work was carried out to examine the relationship
Recently, it was shown that sensory relearning of the upper limb (SENSUPP) is a promising intervention to improve sensorimotor function after stroke. There is limited knowledge, however, of how participants perceive the training. Here, we explored how persons with sensory impairments in the upper limb experienced the SENSUPP protocol (combined sensory-and motor training and home exercises for 5 we
In this chapter, I develop an ethnographic understanding of khidma (Arabic for serving), exploring the effect serving Ahl al-Bayt (Family of Prophet Mohammed) has on devotees with a particular focus on materiality. More specifically, I will trace the process of khidma through art and show how art is utilized in religious service, which highlights the centrality of materiality in contemporary Shii
Residues 136-159 of VPI of foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) comprise the G-H loop of the protein and form a prominent feature on the surface of virus particles. This sequence contains an immunodominant neutralizing epitope, which can be mimicked with synthetic peptides, and includes an Arg, Gly, Asp motif which has been implicated in the binding of the virus to cellular receptors. Crystallograp
