The prospect of death influences people's thoughts about and how they deal with their remaining time. We aimed to understand whether patients with progressive, life-limiting diseases are oriented in the past, present, or future and how they deal with temporality. We conducted 57 in-depth interviews with end-of-life patients in 10 countries using thematic analysis at three levels (i.

Academic publishing is the support for dissemination of research findings that constitute the grounds upon which new orientations and improvements are based on sharing breaking ideas, critical analyses of data, and argumentations that sustain the development of collaborative research projects. The wide diffusion of new scientific findings is pivotal to the progress of medical sciences, a salient feature of human societal fullness and intellectual welfare. In a practical way, the value of academic publishing can be ascertained by its capacity to reach a wide number of readers from different fields that may provide the soil for interactive projects.

This paper discusses methods to take into account interactions between characters, in the context of parsimony analysis. These interactions can be in the form of some characters becoming inapplicable given certain states of other, primary characters; in the form of only certain states being allowed in some characters when a given state or set of states occurs for other characters; or in the form of transformation costs in some character being higher or lower when other characters have certain states or transformations between states. Character-state reconstructions and evaluation of trees under the assumption of independence may easily lead to ancestral assignments that violate elementary rules of biomechanics, well-established theories relating form and function or ideas about character co-variation.

This paper reports a novel fluorescence and colorimetric dual-signal-output DNA aptamer based sensor for the detection of acetamiprid residue. Acetamiprid is a new systemic broad-spectrum insecticide with high insecticidal efficiency that is widely used worldwide, but there is a risk of adverse neurological reactions in humans and animals. The dual-mode output principle designed in this paper, consisting of a fluorescence signal and colorimetric signal, is based on the relevant reaction of the special domain of a G-quadruplex, bidding farewell to a classical single-signal output, with a target-recognition cycle used to complete signal amplification through a hybridization chain reaction.
