Best practice advice for asthma exacerbation prevention and management in primary care: an international expert consensus by Neil Skolnik, Barbara P. Yawn, Jaime Correia de Sousa, María Mar Martínez Vázquez, Amanda Barnard, Wendy L. Wright, Austin Ulrich, Tonya Winders, Stephen Brunton

“…Lack of primary care-specific guidance, uncontrolled asthma, incomplete assessment of exacerbation and asthma control history, and reliance on systemic corticosteroids or short-acting beta2-agonist-only therapy are challenges clinicians face today with asthma care. …”

Resting-state BOLD temporal variability of the default mode network predicts spontaneous mind wandering, which is negatively associated with mindfulness skills by Sara Sorella, Cristiano Crescentini, Alessio Matiz, Alessio Matiz, Minah Chang, Alessandro Grecucci, Alessandro Grecucci

“…These results open up the possibility of intervening on specific aspects of our cognitive abilities: for example, our data suggest that training the mindfulness facet acting with awareness would allow lessening our tendency for MW at inopportune times.…”

Internal Lifshitz tails for discrete Schrödinger operators by Hatem Najar

“…We consider random Schrödinger operators Hω acting on l2(ℤd). We adapt the technique of the periodic approximations used in (2003) for the present model to prove that the integrated density of states of Hω has a Lifshitz behavior at the edges of internal spectral gaps if and only if the integrated density of states of a well-chosen periodic operator is nondegenerate at the same edges. …”

THE CARTESIAN THINKING SUBJECT: THE PROBLEM OF THE NONGNOSEOLOGICAL DIMENSION by Nerijus Milerius

“…According to the author, the only possibility to discuss the problem of the nongnoseological dimension of the Cartesian subject is to analyze the procedures by means of which the thinking I transforms itself into an acting and knowing subject. Analysis of these procedures, however, have revealed their uniqueness and indefiniteness. …”

Isometric and Closed-Range Composition Operators between Bloch-Type Spaces by Nina Zorboska

“…We add new results and give a complete characterization of the isometric univalently induced composition operators acting between Bloch-type spaces. We also add few results on the closed-range determination of composition operators on Bloch-type spaces and present the problems that are still open.…”

Connections between Some Concepts of Polynomial Trichotomy for Noninvertible Evolution Operators in Banach Spaces by Mihai-Gabriel Babuţia, Nicolae Marian Seimeanu

“…The present paper treats three concepts of nonuniform polynomial trichotomies for noninvertible evolution operators acting on Banach spaces. The connections between these concepts are established through numerous examples and counterexamples for systems defined on the Banach space of square-summable sequences.…”
