Residues of pesticide co-formulants in lettuce and parsley: Identification of decline processes using field trials in different cropping systems.

Background: Although co-formulants constitute a substantial portion of the total plant protection product (PPP) mass applied to crops, data on residue formation and the behaviour of these substances on plants are scarce. In an earlier study we demonstrated that co-formulants commonly used in PPPs can form considerable residues, i.e.

What would an 'ideal' glaucoma examination be like? - A conjoint analysis of patients' and physicians' preferences.

Purpose: To structurally determine patients' and physicians' preferences for glaucoma diagnostic methods in order to improve glaucoma patient care and improve patient compliance with follow-up visits.

Methods: Forty-one patients with glaucoma and 32 ophthalmologists were included in this cross-sectional study. Profiles representing glaucoma examinations were created using conjoint analysis (CA).

FASTER and SCOTT&EVA trainings for adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition with a prevalence rate above 1%, characterized by deficits in social communication and interaction; restrictive, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities; and a preference for sameness and routines. The majority of adult ASD patients suffer from comorbid conditions such as depression and anxiety. Therapy options for adult ASD patients are lacking, with presently no available evidence-based interventions in Germany.

ADOS-Eye-Tracking: The Archimedean Point of View and Its Absence in Autism Spectrum Conditions.

Face perception and emotion categorization are widely investigated under laboratory conditions that are devoid of real social interaction. Using mobile eye-tracking glasses in a standardized diagnostic setting while applying the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2), we had the opportunity to record gaze behavior of children and adolescents with and without Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASCs) during social interaction. The objective was to investigate differences in eye-gaze behavior between three groups of children and adolescents either (1) with ASC or (2) with unconfirmed diagnosis of ASC or (3) with neurotypical development (NTD) during social interaction with an adult interviewer in a diagnostic standard situation using the ADOS-2.

Magnitude and decline of pesticide co-formulant residues in vegetables and fruits: results from field trials compared to estimated values.

Background: The application of plant protection products (PPPs) leads to the formation of residues in treated crops. Even though PPPs contain considerable amounts of co-formulants, regulation and monitoring of residues normally focus on the active substances (a.s.
