Mind the perception gap: The impact of bus rapid transit infrastructure on travelers’ perceptions of affective subjective well-being by Navarrete-Hernandez, Pablo, Christopher Zegras, P

“…We find that: (1) compared to regular bus services, a ‘standard BRT’ consisting of a painted bus lane and the addition of a cycle lane significantly enhances SWB; (2) an ‘SWB infrastructure’ option that replaces car parking with improvements for cyclists and pedestrians and adds street amenities further enhances SWB; and, (3) the BRT infrastructure elements most effective in enhancing affective SWB for users of all transport modes are the addition of green spaces, improvement of crosswalks, and provision of more space for pedestrians and cyclists. …”

Efficacy and safety of rapid-acting insulin analogs in special populations with Type 1 Diabetes or Gestational Diabetes: systematic review and meta-analysis by Nørgaard, Kirsten, Sukumar, Nithya, Rafnsson, Snorri Bjorn, Saravanan, Ponnusamy

“…Results: In people on CSII, rapid-acting insulin analogs lowered postprandial plasma glucose post-breakfast to a greater extent than did regular human insulin (RHI) (mean difference: − 1.63 mmol/L [95% confidence interval − 1.71; − 1.54]), with a comparable risk of hypoglycemia and a trend for lower glycated hemoglobin. …”

The competing use of perfect and aorist tenses in Old Church Slavonic by MacRobert, C

“…It has sometimes been suggested that in the second and third persons singular, which coincide formally in the aorist tense, variation between aorist and perfect forms may to some extent be correlated with explicitly marked distinctions of person in Greek, and may therefore be a side effect of translation; but such correlations are not regular, and the frequency of second person singular perfect forms is higher in some types of text than in others. …”
