Strategic and operational issues in sustaining community-based dementia support groups: the Get Real with Meeting Centres realist evaluation part 2 by Morton, T, Evans, SB, Swift, R, Bray, J, Frost, F, Russell, C, Brooker, D, Wong, G, Hullah, N

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Collaboration is essential to sustaining community-based initiatives such as MCs, particularly between local community and regional level. MCs need to be vigilant in mitigating pressures that create ‘mission drift’, as targeting a gap in the care pathway and maintaining a person-centred ethos are central to MCs’ appeal. …”

In situ nanoscopy of single-grain nanomorphology and ultrafast carrier dynamics in metal halide perovskites by Zizlsperger, M, Nerreter, S, Yuan, Q, Lohmann, KB, Sandner, F, Schiegl, F, Meineke, C, Gerasimenko, YA, Herz, LM, Siday, T, Huber, MA, Johnston, MB, Huber, R

“…At all of the measured locations, despite topographic irregularities, diffusion is surprisingly homogeneous on the 100&thinsp;nm scale, although it varies between mesoscopic regions. Linking in situ carrier transport with nanoscale morphology and chemical composition could introduce a paradigm shift for the analysis and optimization of next-generation optoelectronics that are based on nanocrystalline materials.…”

Elucidating the non-apoptotic role of the caspases in the Drosophila intestinal system by Arthurton, L

Molecular determinants of chromatin accessibility at CpG islands in mouse embryonic stem cells by King, H

“…This was supported by preliminary work targeting bacterial CpG-rich sequences into the mouse genome, where they were sufficient to establish novel regions of chromatin accessibility. To examine potential mechanisms by which hypomethylated DNA could serve to promote chromatin accessibility, I profiled chromatin accessibility in mouse ESCs lacking various chromatin-modifying proteins which are normally enriched at CGIs, with the histone demethylases KDM2A/B linked to maintaining open chromatin at CGIs. …”

Searching for dark matter in the light of Dark-Higgs Strahlung: a first search for a resonant di-Higgs + missing energy signature with the ATLAS experiment by Brückler, TL

Prepayment meters strongly associated with multiple types of deprivation and emergency respiratory hospital admissions: an observational, cross-sectional study by Ding, X, Akimova, ET, Zhao, B, Dederichs, K, Mills, MC

“…</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> Combining multiple regional data and census estimates at the Lower Layer Super Output Area and the Middle Layer Super Output Area level from England and Wales, we use Spearman&rsquo;s rank correlation, Pearson correlation and multivariate linear regression to empirically establish associations between PPMs and multiple types of deprivation.…”

Cortical neurophysiology of ALS by Proudfoot, M

“…Functional connectivity between cortical regions at rest is appraised in chapter 4. ALS appeared to result in quite striking increases in functional connectivity, in keeping with the fMRI literature and in support of diminished intracortical inhibitory influences. …”

The thermodynamics of multicomponent high-entropy materials by Cantor, B

“…The results show: (1) why large single-phase solid-solution regions are relatively common in multicomponent phase space; (2) why single-phase solid solutions are often favoured over stoichiometric compounds for large numbers of chemically similar components, in concentrated rather than dilute proportions, at high temperatures, and after quenching to room temperature; and (3) the difficulty of detailed thermodynamic analysis in multicomponent materials because of the large numbers of thermodynamic parameters that need to be known and the corresponding lack of underlying thermodynamic measurements.…”

PRMT5 controls the innate immune response by Zhang, C

“…Although additional experiments are required to precisely identify the dsRNA-producing intronic regions, our results support the role of the PRMT5-E2F1 axis in modulating immune responses through the regulation of RNA splicing. …”

Disruption of seasonal influenza circulation and evolution during the 2009 H1N1 and COVID-19 pandemics in Southeastern Asia by Chen, Z, Tsui, JL, Cai, J, Su, S, Viboud, C, du Plessis, L, Lemey, P, Kraemer, MUG, Yu, H

“…During the COVID-19 pandemic, consistent autumn-winter movement waves from Southeastern Asia to temperate regions were interrupted for both subtype/lineages, however the A/H1N1 pandemic only disrupted A/H3N2 spread. …”

‘The plural of silo is not ecosystem’: qualitative study on the role of innovation ecosystems in supporting ‘internet of things’ applications in health and care by Reidy, C, A’Court, C, Jenkins, W, Jani, A, Ramos, A, Morys-Carter, M, Papoutsi, C

“…We sought to examine the multiple interacting influences on IoT implementation, spread and scale-up, including the role of regional innovation ‘ecosystems’ and the impact of the COVID-19 context.…”

Ethical issues surrounding access to care for BRCA mutations by Huang, C

“…I conclude that whilst most problematic cases are country-neutral, only US women are problematically constrained by insurance and legal loopholes, and only UK women are problematically constrained by regional variations in health authority funding.</p>…”

Phenotypic screen of sixty-eight colorectal cancer cell lines identifies CEACAM6 and CEACAM5 as markers of acid-resistance by Michl, J, White, B, Monterisi, S, Bodmer, W, Swietach, P

“…Thus, CEACAM6 is a marker of acid-resistant clones in colorectal cancer and a potential motif for targeting therapies to acidic regions within the tumors. …”

Non-stationary modeling of seasonal precipitation series in Turkey: estimating the plausible range of seasonal extremes by Tosunoglu, F, Slater, LJ, Kowal, KM, Gu, X, Yin, J

“…The NAOI appeared as another important predictor during all seasons except summer, while the SOI appeared as a significant explanatory variable in certain regions. Using the non-stationary models, we then computed seasonal precipitation estimates for different return periods (i.e., 20, 50, and 100 years) and considered the minimum and maximum possible extreme precipitation scenarios at each site. …”

Information learning bias in depression by Lin, W

“…Using a similar volatility adaptation model, we then showed that loss learning rate adaptation estimates negatively correlated with individual differences in overall negativity levels (depression and anxiety), with might be associated with decreased segregation of win and loss volatility signals in a distributed brain network of outcome sensitive regions, especially in the ACC. Finally, we showed that manipulating norepinephrine level using an antidepressant, reboxetine, a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRIs), could increase loss learning rate adaptations to volatility. …”
