Self-reported near-death and near-death-like experiences in a Chinese online sample: an exploratory mixed-methods study

Frontiers in Psychology
IntroductionNear-death experiences (NDEs) are subjective experiences reported during actual or perceived life-threatening situations, whereas near-death-like experiences may occur in non-life-threatening altered states.

Temporality of Features in Near-Death Experience Narratives

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
Background: After an occurrence of a Near-Death Experience (NDE), Near-Death Experiencers (NDErs) usually report extremely rich and detailed narratives. Phenomenologically, a NDE can be described as a set of distinguishable features.

Empirical Physics‐Based Normal Behavior Modeling of Drive Train Temperatures With High‐Resolution Wind Turbine Operating Data

Wind Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The installed wind energy capacity increases every year. However, operation and maintenance costs still make up a considerable portion of the levelized costs of electricity. This costs can be greatly reduced by the application of suitable early fault detection methods. The supervisory control and data acquisition system of wind turbines is one

Meaning in motion: How eudaimonic well‐being mediates between volunteering and physical activity

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract As Europe faces the dual challenge of population ageing and rising healthcare expenditures, identifying low‐cost strategies to promote physical well‐being is critical. This study investigates whether eudaimonic well‐being mediates the relationship between volunteering and regular physical activity among older adults.

Decolonising Healthcare Through Curricula: Integrating Indigenous Knowledges and Person‐Centred Practice Through the Integrated Indigenous and Person‐Centred Practice Theory and Framework

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim and Design Indigenous knowledge systems offer enduring, relational and strengths‐based frameworks for health and wellbeing. This theory and framework paper critically analyses how colonial legacies embedded in nursing curricula marginalise Indigenous knowledges and perpetuate inequities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Early‐life pathways to inequalities in child mental health: evidence from eight birth cohorts

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Socioeconomic inequalities in children's emotional and behavioural problems are already present at school entry. We examined associations between early‐life socioeconomic conditions and children's externalising and internalising problems and assessed whether early‐life risk factors mediated these associations.

Acoustic Reconstruction for Photothermal Imaging

Bioengineering, 2018
Pulsed illumination of a sample, e.g., of a biological tissue, causes a sudden temperature increase of light absorbing structures, such as blood vessels, which results in an outgoing acoustic wave, as well as heat diffusion, of the absorbed energy.
