Chemical bonding within AIII BVI materials under uniaxial compression
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-24)The work provides a comprehensive explanation of the nature of chemical bonding through quantum chemical topology for multilayers of AIIIBVI compounds, such as GaSe, InSe, and GaTe, spanning pressures from 0 GPa to 30 GPa. These compounds are subjected to pressure orthogonal to the multilayers. Quantum chemical topological indices indicate that uniaxial pressure induces changes in hybridisation, ... -
A Phase 1b PK/PD Study to Demonstrate Antigen Elimination with RLYB212, a Monoclonal Anti-HPA-1a Antibody for FNAIT Prevention
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-12)Background - Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a rare bleeding disorder of the fetus/newborn caused by development of maternal alloantibodies against fetal human platelet antigens (HPAs), predominantly HPA-1a.

Predicting the Performance of Ensemble Classification Using Conditional Joint Probability
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-21)In many machine learning applications, there are many scenarios when performance is not satisfactory by single classifiers. In this case, an ensemble classification is constructed using several weak base learners to achieve satisfactory performance. Unluckily, the construction of the ensemble classification is empirical, i.e., to try an ensemble classification and if performance is not ... -
Effects of dominance on language switching: A longitudinal study of Turkish-Dutch children with and without developmental language disorder
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-13)Bilinguals frequently switch between languages. The present study examined cued language switching (CLS) longitudinally in bilingual Turkish–Dutch children with (n = 11) and without (n = 30) developmental language disorder (DLD) in a three-wave design with one-year intervals. We studied effects of dominance, indexed by language proficiency and exposure, on overall switching performance and the ... -
Editorial: Natural methane emissions in a changing arctic – implications for climate and environment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-23)Natural methane emissions have received significant attention in recent years due to the documented increase in atmospheric concentrations of methane and its elevated global warming potential relative to CO2. Over the past decades, the Arctic has been warming nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet (Rantanen et al., 2022). Arctic amplification of global warming drives a pressing need ... -

Using health records spanning 35 years, which included 22,643 patients and 30,938 episodes of care, we focused on the episode of care as a central unit, defined as a referral-discharge cycle ... -
EU external differentiated integration as a crisis response tool? Evidence from Ukraine
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-19)Emerging scholarship on the EU and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 has predominantly focused on explaining the unprecedented strength of the EU’s response, especially its new far-reaching sanctions against Russia and the granting of a candidate country status to all three Eastern Neighbours. What is missing from the picture is the role of pre-war EU-Ukraine external ... -

Effects of a One-Year Physical Activity Intervention on Markers of Hemostasis among Breast Cancer Survivors - A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-06)Introduction - Physical activity may reduce the development of breast cancer. Whereas hypercoagulability has been linked to adverse outcomes in breast cancer patients, the effects of physical activity on their hemostatic factors are unknown. The study aimed to assess whether long-term (1 year) physical activity can affect hemostatic factors in breast cancer patients.<p> <p>Methods - Fifty-five ... -
Cambrian-Ordovician trace fossils of the Basissletta region, northeast Spitsbergen, Svalbard
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-29)Trace fossils of the Cambrian–Ordovician sedimentary succession of the Basissletta region, northeast Spitsbergen, Svalbard, belong to three ichnoassemblages. The first one, composed of Monocraterion and Diplocraterion, belongs to the Skolithos ichnofacies and characterises sandstones of the Tokammane Formation (lower Cambrian: Terreneuvian) deposited in a shallow subtidal setting. The overlying ... -
Characterising the magnetic and plasma environment upstream of Ganymede
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-17)We present an application of the latest UCL‐AGA magnetodisc model (MDISC) to the study of the magnetic and plasma conditions in the near‐Ganymede space. By doing this, we provide a comparison with measurements from Juno's most recent flyby of the Jovian moon, perijove 34 (PJ34). We find good agreement between the model results and the magnetometer data, pointing toward a hot plasma index value ... -
Mind the Gap Between Chemistry and Outdoor Education: Primary and Lower Secondary Preservice Teachers’ Beliefs During an Outdoor-Based Introduction to Chemistry in Science Education
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-14)Outdoor education is rarely used to teach chemistry, despite its potential benefits for students. This paper investigates preservice teachers’ (PSTs) beliefs about the domain of chemistry in science education. Sixteen primary and lower secondary PSTs were asked to draw their perception of chemistry in science education and mind maps about outdoor education before being exposed to a novel, student-active ... -
Kin Cognition and Communication: What Talking, Gesturing, and Drawing About Family Can Tell us About the Way We Think About This Core Social Structure
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-04)When people talk about kinship systems, they often use co-speech gestures and other representations to elaborate. This paper investigates such polysemiotic (spoken, gestured, and drawn) descriptions of kinship relations, to see if they display recurring patterns of conventionalization that capture specific social structures. We present an exploratory hypothesis-generating study of descriptions ... -

The requirements ... -
Executive functions in older adults with generalised anxiety disorder and healthy controls: Associations with heart rate variability, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and physical fitness.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-17)Executive functions (EF) decline with age and this decline in older adults with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) may be influenced by heart rate variability (HRV), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and physical fitness. Understanding these relationships is important for tailored treatments in this population. In this study, 51 adults with GAD (M age = 66.46, SD=4.08) and 51 healthy ...
