SVO

It is unclear how much carbon should be stored in temporary and risky offsets to compensate one ton of CO2 emissions. Here we cast the social value of an offset (SVO), measured in terms of economic damages avoided, as a well-defined fraction of the social cost of carbon reflecting offset duration, and risks of non-additionality and failure. The SVO reflects the value of temporary storage, and overcomes shortcomings in the climate science and economics of previous contributions1-4 . The SVO is policy relevant...

Under the noisy-channel framework of language comprehension, comprehenders infer the speaker's intended meaning by integrating the perceived utterance with their knowledge of the language, the world, and the kinds of errors that can occur in communication. Previous research has shown that, when sentences are improbable under the meaning prior (implausible sentences), participants often interpret them nonliterally. The rate of nonliteral interpretation is higher when the errors that could have transformed the intended utterance into the perceived utterance are more likely...

DESIGN: Mendelian randomization study. CASE SELECTION: Using a Mendelian randomization framework, the causal relationship between periodontitis [chronic periodontitis (CP) and aggressive periodontitis (AgP)] and ischemic stroke and its subtypes [cardioembolic (CE) stroke, large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), and small vessel occlusion (SVO)], were studied. DATA ANALYSIS: Data from three large databanks, namely, UK Biobank, genome-wide association study of European ancestry, and MEGASTROKE consortium of European ancestry were used to obtain genetic variant information of CP, AgP, and ischemic stroke, respectively...

To better understand Mandarin-speaking children's acquisition of non-canonical word orders, we tested comprehension and production of Mandarin non-canonical active ba -construction and passive bei -construction, in comparison with canonical active SVO sentences among 180 children between three and 6 years of age. Our results showed that children had more difficulties with bei -construction compared to SVO sentences in both comprehension and production, but early problems of ba -construction only lied in production...

The distribution of word order across languages is skewed with SOV order (e.g., researchers sentences write) and SVO order (e.g., researchers write sentences) being >100 times more common than OSV order (sentences researchers write). It is commonly assumed that cross-linguistic preferences reflect cognitive biases, but it is unknown why some languages exhibit dispreferred patterns, or why languages settle on a specific pattern out of several preferred ones. This paper tests whether larger communities are more likely to rely on cross-linguistically preferred patterns as a way to overcome the greater communicative challenges they encounter...

Background: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a common complication of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and may lead to neurological deterioration. This article discusses whether monocyte count to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) level is associated with HT in AIS patients. Materials and methods: The clinical data of AIS patients who underwent rt-PA IVT treatment were continuously collected. According to whether HT occurred, patients were divided into HT group and non-HT group...

SrVO3 (SVO) is a prospective candidate to replace the conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) among the new generation of transparent conducting oxide (TCO) materials. In this study, the structural, electrical, and optical properties of SVO thin films, both epitaxial and polycrystalline, are determined during and after heat treatments in the 150-250 °C range and under ambient environment in order to explore the chemical stability of this material. The use of these relatively low temperatures speeds up the natural aging of the films and allows following the evolution of their related properties...

PURPOSE: To investigate cerebrovascular hemodynamics, including critical closing pressure (CrCP) and pulsatility index (PI), and their independent relationship with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) burden in patients with small-vessel occlusion (SVO). METHODS: We recruited consecutive patients with SVO of acute cerebral infarction who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transcranial Doppler (TCD) and CrCP during admission. Cerebrovascular hemodynamics were assessed using TCD...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), which is used to assess stress hyperglycemia, is associated with the functional outcome of ischemic stroke (IS). IS can induce the inflammatory response. Neutrophil counts and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as good and easily available inflammatory biomarkers, the relationship between neutrophil counts and NLR and SHR were poorly explored in IS. We aimed to systemically and comprehensively explore the correlation between various blood inflammation markers (mainly neutrophil counts and NLR) and SHR...

Humans may behave in different manners when making decisions with friends and strangers. Whether the interpersonal relationship and the characteristics of the individuals in the group affected the group decision-making under uncertainty in the real-time interaction remains unknown. Using the turn-based Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART), the present study examined the group decision-making propensity under uncertainty with partners in different interpersonal relationships and interpersonal orientations. Corresponding inter-brain synchronization (IBS) patterns at the prefrontal cortex (PFC) were also uncovered with the fNIRS-based hyperscanning approach...

Substantial studies have investigated the social influence effect; however, how individuals with different social value orientations (SVOs), prosocials and proselfs, respond to different social influences remains unknown. This study examines the impact of positive and negative social information on the responses of people with different SVOs. A face-attractiveness assessment task was employed to investigate the relationships between influence probability, memory, and event-related potentials of social influence...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although supraventricular ectopic beats (SVE), including premature atrial contractions (PACs) and non-sustained atrial tachycardia (NSAT), are frequent in the general population, some study results indicate that they are pathologic. SVE may predict undiagnosed atrial fibrillation or be associated with the embolic pattern of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to identify the indicators most associated with embolic stroke among the parameters that suggest the burden of SVE...

INTRODUCTION: The categorization system used in the Trial Org 10172 classification in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) provided more insight into the causal process. The aims of this study were to characterize individuals with acute ischemic stroke using the TOAST criteria and to determine risk variables for patients with acute ischemic stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was done on the medical records of acute ischemic stroke patients at Hasan Sadikin Hospital (RSHS) Bandung, Indonesia, who were hospitalized in the Neurology Department of Hasan Sadikin Hospital from January to December 2021...

INTRODUCTION: This study is to explore the long-term functional outcome of antihypertensive medication-naïve, untreated hypertension (HTN) patients with acute ischemic stroke compared to those with no prior HTN and those with treated HTN. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed a prospectively collected stroke registry of all patients with acute ischemic stroke consecutively admitted to Incheon St. Mary's Hospital. Patients who received reperfusion therapy were excluded...

Sarcopenic obesity is associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality than seen with either sarcopenia or obesity alone. We aimed to define sarcopenic visceral obesity (SVO) using CT-quantified skeletal muscle index and visceral-to-subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio and to examine its association with waitlist mortality in patients with cirrhosis. Included were 326 adults with cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantation in the ambulatory setting with available abdominal CT within 6 months from enrollment between February 2015 and January 2018...

Previous studies have explored the role of cognitive factors and sympathy in children's development of moral emotion attribution, but the effect of personal dispositional factors on adolescents' moral emotion expectancy has been neglected. In this study, we address this issue by testing adolescents' moral emotion attribution with different social value orientation (SVO). Eight hundred and eighty Chinese adolescents were classified into proselfs, prosocials and mixed types in SVO and asked to indicate their moral emotions in four moral contexts (prosocial, antisocial, failing to act prosocially (FAP) and resisting antisocial impulse (RAI))...

AIMS: Our purpose is to assess the role of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) in prediction models in patients with different subtypes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). METHODS: We enrolled 398 small-vessel occlusion (SVO) and 175 large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) AIS patients. Functional outcomes were assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days. MRI was performed to assess white matter hyperintensity (WMH), perivascular space (PVS), lacune, and cerebral microbleed (CMB)...

AIMS: Whether admission hyperglycemia is differentially associated with early vascular outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) depending on stroke subtype has been incompletely delineated. METHODS: In a multicenter, prospective stroke registry, patients with AIS were categorized based on admission glucose levels into normoglycemia, moderate hyperglycemia, and severe hyperglycemia (<140mg/dl, 140-179mg/dl, and ≥180mg/dl, respectively) groups. Multivariate analysis assessed the interaction between the hyperglycemia and ischemic stroke subtypes of large artery atherothrombosis (LAA), cardioembolism (CE), and small vessel occlusion (SVO) and early vascular outcomes (3-month stroke, all-cause mortality, and composite of stroke, MI, and all-cause mortality)...

BACKGROUND: Spine trauma, vertebral metastases, and osteoporosis (SVO) can result in serious health problems. If the diagnosis of SVO is delayed, the prognosis may be deteriorated. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is an essential method for minimizing the diagnostic errors associated with SVO. research achievements (RAs) of SVO on AI are required as a result of the greatest number of studies on AI solutions reported. The study aimed to: classify article themes using visualizations, illustrate the characteristics of SVO on AI recently, compare RAs of SVO on AI between entities (e...
