Xunzi's concern for yu (desire) and ritual approaches for its moral transformation by Zhou,Yalin

“…One’s pleasure-based liking is not merely painted by joy but a configuration of the more variable affective experiences, including the feeling of an 安 (security; at ease) and the feeling of comfort in fortunes and anxiety in misfortunes, and involves the higher and lower pleasures; and the potent force of wanting is normatively grounded in the general goal of living a truly happy life. …”

Pregnant women admitted to hospital with covid-19 in 10 European countries: individual patient data meta-analysis of population based cohorts in International Obstetric Survey Syst... by Engjom, HM, de Bruin, O, Ramakrishnan, R, Aabakke, AJM, Äyräs, O, Deneux-Tharaux, C, Donati, S, Knight, M, Jonasdottir, E, Svanvik, T, Vercoutere, A, Vousden, N, Bleomenkamp, KWM

“…This finding indicates that national public health policies likely had a substantial and previously unrecognised role in protecting pregnant women. …”

Using machine learning to discover candidate localised transcripts from microscopy and genome-wide bioinformatics data by Kiourlappou, M

“…Using the adapted pipeline I predict 66 genes highly likely to be localised in glial cells protrusions and assess their functional and cellular attributes using GO enrichment. …”

Investigating the health and care needs of pregnant women with multiple long-term conditions by D'Arcy, R

“…MLTC was observed to be a common health concern among pregnant women, and is likely to become increasingly prevalent in the future. …”

Prevalence of West Nile virus in domesticated mammals (cattle, goat, horse and pig) in selected areas of Peninsular Malaysia by Mohammed, Mohammed Nma

“…Among the species, pigs were more likely to be WNV seropositive. In the cattle, location of sample collection was associated with WNV seropositivity, whereas in the goat, age was associated with WNV seropositivity. …”

Detection, characterisation and risk factor of Leptospira spp. among dogs and dog handlers by Goh, Soon Heng

“…The poor knowledge was likely due to the lower education level. Lack of knowledge in terms of clinical sign of the disease will be a challenge for disease management. …”

Distribution and risk factors of canine heart diseases and survey for owners treatment intention by Noordin, Norhidayah

“…Small breed dogs (OR: 3.95,p <0.001) were more likely affected by the disease compared with other breed sizes. …”

Low complexity spectrum sensing for cognitive radio enabled aeronautical communication systems by Koodathumkal Mathew Libin

“…The proposed correlator can also serve as the receiver synchronizer for the LDACS air-to-ground links. The architecture is designed in such a way that it can cater to the preamble structure of LDACS air-to-ground transmissions. …”

Advanced attack and defense techniques in machine learning systems by Zhao, Mengchen

“…Based on the observation of the transferability, we develop a defense algorithm to identify the data points that are most likely to be attacked. Empirical studies show that PGA significantly outperforms existing baselines and linear learning models are better substitute models than nonlinear ones. …”

Conflict-free urban air mobility planning with an airspace-resource-centric approach by Dai, Wei

“…The result suggests that orthogonal crossings are more likely to be detected, which supports the selection of block shape as the airspace cells. …”

Synthesis and characterization of Cu-Chalcogenide nanocrystals for potential applications in low-cost solar cells by Ahmadi, Mahshid

“…Hence, it can be deduced that the lattice is distorted and this likely to result in micro-strain in the crystal. The band gap of CuInxGa1-xSe2 NCs was measured optically (UV-Vis spectroscopy) and electrochemically (cyclic voltammetry). …”

#Hooked? Extending the social cognitive model in examining the antecedents of problematic social network sites use among Singaporean adolescents and adults by Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…Most notably, a nuanced difference in how paternal and maternal relationships were associated with adolescents’ problematic SNSs was found—adolescents who had poor relationships with their fathers were more likely to depend on SNSs for identity formation—which had the strongest association with deficient self-regulation. …”

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) by Tudor, Katarina Ivana, Tudor, Mario, McCleery, Jenny, Car, Josip

“…Of the 26 patients in the VP shunting group, 5 developed subdural hematoma postoperatively, while there were no complications among the 16 patients in the ETV group (OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.01 to 2.3, n = 42), but the estimate was too imprecise to determine whether this was likely to reflect a true difference in complication rates. …”

Prioritising conservation areas in Southeast Asia: highlighting zoological biodiversity hotspots and assessing spatiotemporal patterns of the felids guild by Chiaverini, L

“…I highlighted that the most suitable habitats for this group of species showed often pronounced differences with the hotspots for terrestrial vertebrate biodiversity modelled in the first two chapters of this thesis, likely due to the fact that small felids are more specialised than the pool of species used to model biodiversity hotspots, and they require larger and more intact habitats. …”

Computational analysis for infectious diseases surveillance and host-pathogen interactions (in the context of Influenza A viruses) by Beyene, Biruhalem Taye

“…Hence, in the fourth project (chapter 6), we applied computational gene network growing for discovering gene network links that could have been missed by these experimental investigations. …”

From the microbial to the mechanical : environmental impacts on coral nitrogen cycling, microbial communities, and skeletal properties by Moynihan, Molly Anne

“…As Porites corals are likely to incur higher forces in the direction parallel to corallite growth, particularly from predation, anisotropy may provide the skeleton with a structural advantage. …”

Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…I obtained pinhole-free morphology through hot-casting at 110 °C and chlorobenzene antisolvent treatment during spin coating, but the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) obtained for these devices were still poor. It is likely that device performance is fundamentally limited by short charge-charrier transport lengths, such as through carrier localisation and/or exciton formation. …”

Coordinated power management for islanded microgrids by Lin, Pengfeng

“…To meet the requirements of growing subgrid capacities, instead of frequently upgrading a single BIC, a more likely way is to deploy multiple BICs connected in parallel to stack up the power exchange capacity between AC and DC subgrids. …”
