Can task-switching training enhance executive control functioning in children with attention deficit/-hyperactivity disorder?

open access: yes, 2012
The key cognitive impairments of children with attention deficit/-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) include executive control functions such as inhibitory control, task-switching, and working memory (WM).

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Addressing the Needs of Mothers with Infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Qualitative Secondary Analysis

open access: yesAsian Nursing Research, 2020
Purpose: Mothers of infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) need to be recognized as essential partners of the care team as their presence and involvement are key to infants' health and developmental outcomes.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Physiotherapists as Managers: An Analysis of Tasks Performed by Head Physiotherapists

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Physiotherapy, 1987
Knowledge of the activities performed by managers forms the basis for management training yet little is known of tasks performed by managers in the health service. A study was performed to identify the managerial role of three physiotherapists randomly selected from eleven physiotherapists in charge of large hospital departments who had taken part in a

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Task Switching and Distractibility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this thesis I examined the effects of task switching on people’s ability to ignore irrelevant distractors. Load theory proposes that distractor interference critically depends on the availability of executive control to minimise the effects of ...

The effect of dual task demands and proficiency on second language speech production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this study we examined how the introduction of a parallel finger-tapping task influences second language speech (L2) encoding mechanisms and monitoring processes and how the level of proficiency impacts the efficiency and accuracy of L2 performance ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Comparison of Velocity-Based Performance and Velocity Loss Between Traditional and Safety Squat Barbells During the Squat Exercise

open access: yesSports
The purpose of this study was to examine differences between squat variations performed with a traditional barbell (TRAD) and a safety squat bar (SSB) in university athletes, focusing on mean propulsive velocity (MPV), peak velocity (PV), and velocity ...
