The Roots of the Obesity Boom. The Relationship Between Overweight and Educational Level Among Dutch Men, 1950–1979 by Björn Quanjer, Kristina Thompson

“…We find that in the 1950s cohort, being in tertiary education was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of being overweight. In contrast, in the 1970s cohort, being in tertiary education was significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of being overweight. …”

Business Processes Modeling Recommender Systems: User Expectations and Empirical Evidence by Michael Fellmann, Novica Zarvić, Oliver Thomas

“…Our results indicate that fairgoers expect increased modeling speed as the key advantage and completeness of models as the most unlikely advantage. This stands in contrast to an initial experiment revealing that modelers, in fact, increase the completeness of their models when adequate knowledge is presented while time consumption is not necessarily reduced. …”

Investigating the system size dependence of hypernuclei production with A < 5 using the ALICE detector by Wang Yuanzhe

“…According to coalescence predictions, the production of 3ΛH, 4ΛH, and 4ΛHe is sensitive to their internal wave function. In contrast, the yields predicted with the Statistical Hadronitazion Models (SHM) are based on the mass of the (hyper)nuclei and the freeze-out temperature, with no explicit dependence on the nuclear structure. …”

Semiotics of alterity and the cultural dimensions of Bible translation by J.A. Naudé, C.L. Miller-Naudé, J.O. Obono

“… Translated sacred writings from various religious traditions often retain a few selected cultural terms borrowed from the incipient sign system, while other cultural dimensions are translated in ways that can broadly be construed as domestication. By contrast, many Bible translation agencies eschew translation strategies in which cultural terms are borrowed, advocating in stead for wholesale domestication. …”

Neutrino Emission from Magnetized Microquasar Jets by Theodoros Smponias, Odysseas Kosmas

“…As a concrete example, we consider the SS-433 X-ray binary system for which several observations have been made the last decades. In contrast to the preset distribution of the fast protons along the jet employed in our previous works, in the present paper, we simulated it by using a power-law fast proton distribution along the PLUTO hydrocode. …”

A New Rule-Based Classification Method Using Shape-Based Properties of Spectral Curves by Songuel Polat, Alain Tremeau, Frank Boochs

“…In this article, a new general classification approach is presented that uses the geometric shape of spectral signatures instead of purely statistical methods. In contrast to classical classification approaches (e.g., SVM, KNN), not only are reflectance values taken into account, but also parameters such as curvature points, curvature values, and the curvature behavior of spectral signatures are used to develop shape-describing rules in order to use them for classification by a rule-based procedure with IF-THEN queries. …”

The Death of a Child in a Noble Family: Prince Walter Prosper (1839–1841) and the Funeral Ritual of the House of Schwarzenberg in the Nineteenth Century by Jan Bouška

“…As mentioned above, Prince Walter died tragically and suddenly, which was in sharp contrast with the Schwarzenberg ideal of death. The question of the tragic and sudden death of a child and its impact on the rest of the family and its behaviour is also dealt with in this article. …”

Thermal analysis of N-carbamoyl benzotriazole derivatives by Kos Ivan, Weitner Tin, Grgac Sandra Flinčec, Jablan Jasna

“…Substantially different thermal properties were observed for structural analogues, 1-(N-methoxycarbamoyl) benzotriazole and 1-(N-ethoxycarbamoyl) benzotriazole. In contrast to N-benzyloxyisocyanate, no corresponding reactions were observed for their decomposition products, i.e., methoxyisocyanate and ethoxyisocyanate.…”

Miscalculation in Proxy War: The United States and Russia in Syrian Civil War from the Neoclassical Realist Perspective by Osman ŞEN, Mehmet ŞAHİN

“…The United States, in this respect, miscalculated on the Syrian Civil War as well as its domestic politics. In contrast, Russia behaved in accordance with its strategic culture, which resulted in its dominance both in the field and in diplomacy. …”

Experimental and Modeling Studies on the Prediction of Gas Hydrate Formation by Jian-Yi Liu, Jing Zhang, Yan-Li Liu, Xiao-Hua Tan, Jie Zhang

“…The analysis of the present model shows that the formation of gas hydrate not only relevant with gas composition and free water content but also relevant with temperature and pressure. Through contrast experiment, the predicted result of the new prediction method of gas hydrate crystallization kinetics is close to measured result, it means that the prediction method can reflect the hydrate crystallization accurately.…”

Care of the Critically Ill Emergency Department Patient with Acute Kidney Injury by Jennifer Joslin, Marlies Ostermann

“…Key principles of secondary prevention are identification of patients with early AKI, discontinuation of nephrotoxic medication where possible, attention to fluid resuscitation, and awareness of the risks of contrast-induced nephropathy. In patients with advanced AKI, arrangements for renal replacement therapy need to be made before the onset of life-threatening uraemic complications. …”

Lagrange Multivariate Polynomial Interpolation: A Random Algorithmic Approach by A. Essanhaji, M. Errachid

Emotivity matters for mood licensing by Lena Baunaz, Joanna Blochowiak, Cristina Grisot

Immunological Links to Nonspecific Effects of DTwP and BCG Vaccines on Infant Mortality by Mogens Helweg Claesson

“…A number of mainly observational studies suggest that many African females below the age of one year die each year from the nonspecific effects of vaccination with diphtheria-tetanus toxoids and killed (whole-cell) Bordetella pertussis (DTwP). In contrast, similar studies suggest that many African females and males may have their lives saved each year by the nonspecific immunological benefits of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination. …”
