Yet, data on preventive SRH service use remain limited, especially digital care. This population‐based registry study investigated whether patterns of SRH service use differed by digital ...

Towards an Integrated Study of Camouflage and Cognition in Cephalopods
The coleoid cephalopods (i.e., octopus, squid, and cuttlefish) are notable for their complex cognition and dynamic camouflage, but the two processes have rarely been considered in conjunction.

Cosmetic camouflage in vitiligo
Vitiligo is not a life-threatening nor a contagious disease. But the disfigurement of vitiligo can be devastating to its sufferers, especially dark-skinned individuals. Available treatment options are disappointing and sufferers often use various forms of camouflage.

Intact Visual Correlation Detection in Autistic Adults
ABSTRACT The ability to detect recurring temporal co‐occurrence, or temporal correlation, of sensory events is fundamental for organizing perceptual input into coherent representations. Although past work has revealed differences across several aspects of temporal processing in autism, it is unknown whether autistic and non‐autistic individuals differ ...

Role of body size and shape in animal camouflage
Animal camouflage serves a dual purpose in that it enhances both predation efficiency and anti‐predation strategies, such as background matching, disruptive coloration, countershading, and masquerade, for predators and prey, respectively.

The Problem of Optimal Camouflaging
We consider the problem of camouflaging for bodies with specular surface in the framework of geometric optics. The index of visibility introduced in [Plakhov 2017] measures the mean deviation of light rays incident on the body's surface. We study the problem of minimal visibility index for bodies with fixed volume contained in the unit sphere.

Abstract Background Regulatory guidance in the United Kingdom advises DPYD genotyping prior to fluoropyrimidine‐based treatment. This economic evaluation estimated the costs and outcomes associated with DPYD screening prior to prescribing fluoropyrimidines for colorectal cancer in Wales and also considers additional variants to those included in ...

Abstract As front‐line observers and active participants in pupils' daily lives, teachers closely monitor pupils' social interactions, emotional states and behavioural changes. Their unique perspective enables them to detect problems in the social lives of their pupils that may not be immediately visible to peers, parents or mental health professionals.

The influence of illumination and cast shadows on prey detectability by predators
Many species use camouflage to dissimulate their true form and avoid detection or recognition. In natural habitats, the three-dimensional structure of an organism’s body can present challenges for camouflage, as overhead illumination creates luminance ...

Abstract Despite growing interest in the internationalisation of higher education, the experiences of international student parents, particularly international student mothers, remain largely marginalised in research and policy. This paper examines the emotional agency of international student mothers who leave their children behind in their home ...
