Abstract:
With the decline of the nation state and the increasing importance of regionalisation, the EU has launched macro-regions, i.e., areas, including territories from several countries, that share common goals and operating under multi-level governance. This paper focuses on the EU territorial cooperation strategy, utilising the concept of "macro--region" and the perspective of the macro-regional approach. Following the first macro-regions (such as the Baltic Sea Region and the Danube Region), the EU recently launched the Adriatic-Ionian Macro-regional Strategy, which was seen as an additional tool

The human hand is capable of producing versatile yet precise movements largely owing to the complex neuromuscular systems that control our finger movement. This study seeks to quantify the spatial activation patterns of the forearm flexor muscles during individualized finger flexions. High-density (HD) surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals of forearm flexor muscles were obtained, and individual motor units were decomposed from the sEMG. Both macro-level spatial patterns of EMG activity and micro-level motor unit distributions were used to systematically characterize the forearm flexor activati

The statistics of convective soil patterns are analyzed using statistical crystallography. A underlying hierarchy of order is found to span four orders of magnitude in characteristic pattern length.

For all lengths, Aboav's and Lewis's laws are verified; this result is consistent both with the need to fill 2D space and most significantly with energy carried not by the patterns' interior, but by the boundaries.

Abstract Introduction Functional imaging of Multiple Myeloma (MM) is redefining our knowledge of disease patterns. A pattern, termed macrofocal MM (macro MM), is defined by the presence of focal lesions and the absence of significant intervening bone marrow (BM) infiltration. At presentation, macro MM constitutes a distinct disease entity likely being associated with a favorable prognosis, although current evidence to support this is limited. Following first-line therapy, macrofocal patterns of disease emerge also in patients that initially presented with classical MM. In these patients the sy

Abstract:
Ocean circulation driving macro-algal rafting is believed to serve as an important mode of dispersal for many marine organisms, leading to predictions on population-level genetic connectivity and the directionality of effective dispersal. Here, we use genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism data to investigate whether gene flow directionality in two seahorses ( Hippocampus ) and three pipefishes ( Syngnathus ) follows the predominant ocean circulation patterns in the Gulf of Mexico and northwestern Atlantic. In addition, we explore whether gene flow magnitudes are predicted by traits relate

Abstract Objectives Dietary pattern analysis has a holistic approach to the eating behaviors of populations. The objective of this study was to identify the patterns of food expenditure (as a proxy of dietary patterns) in Iranian urban households. Methods The study made use of Iran Households Income and Expenditure Survey data in the urban areas that included 18,701 households. Principal components analysis was used to identify major household food expenditure patterns (FEPs) and binary logistic regression models for relation between households’ socioeconomic characteristics with FEPs.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the extent to which two characteristics of digital data make such data suitable for detecting preference patterns in code switching: an absence of paralinguistic disambiguation- cues and its extra-linguistic ‘context-freeness’. This paper reports on the exploration of a 219,536 word Dutch-Turkish digital data corpus compiled from bilingual internet fora. It describes both macro-sociolinguistic patterns of language choice as well as micro-linguistic contact features in bilingual data, comparing both macro and micro results with what is known from the sociolinguistic literat

Abstract:
Abstract The geometric framework for nutrition has largely been applied to macronutrients in experimental settings. Here, we utilize the framework to examine both macro and micronutrient intake patterns in observational human data. We used nutritional intake patterns (3x 24h recall per visit) of 1754 older Quebecers from the NuAge cohort to predict multi-system homeostatic dysregulation scores calculated from 30 biomarkers. Intermediate intake of both macro- and micronutrients was generally associated with lower dysregulation scores (i.e., better health). Furthermore, there were often nutrient

Abstract:
Mega-slums are dynamic laboratories for urban pattern making. Instead of surveying about stable urban symbols represented by formal orders and regular geometries, this study explores the semantic meaning of informal urbanism associated with chaos or randomness and often ignored by critique and conventions. Slums are forms of ‘instant urbanity’ that underscore alternative ways of self-organisation, which include bottom-up strategies, autonomous urban dynamics and spatial activation by remaking. Are slum patterns representing a lack of symbolism or, on contrary, rich, complex, and fluid urban id
