Article Abstract
Background: Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs) constitute an important vehicle for providing employment opportunities for disadvantaged groups.
Objective: The goal of this qualitative case study is to explore perceptions of health and wellbeing among employees working in a WISE located in the Gävleborg region, in east central Sweden.
Methods: Data were gathered using 16 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with the social enterprise employees.
Results: Findings were categorized into three main categories: the importance of financial independence and societal benefits; team spirit and a sense of belonging; and improved quality of life and wellbeing.
Conclusion: The participants perceived that working in the WISE gave them a feeling of freedom and increased their self-esteem because of the possibility to earn an income. Also, they were satisfied with their job (e.g., with regard to work quality and flexibility) and believed that their work contributed to society. Moreover, through working in a WISE, the participants felt a sense of belonging and togetherness through interaction with co-workers and managers, and an improved quality of life for themselves and their families.

Cellulose and chitin are the two most abundant polysaccharides on Earth. To digest these structural carbohydrates, herbivorous and omnivorous insects typically rely on cellulases, while insectivorous species often express chitinases. The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana), an extreme generalist omnivore, is known to thrive on a variety of diets.

Early and accurate Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis is critical for effective intervention, but it is still challenging due to neurodegeneration's slow and complex progression. Recent studies in brain imaging analysis have highlighted the crucial roles of deep learning techniques in computer-assisted interventions for diagnosing brain diseases. In this study, we propose AlzFormer, a novel deep learning framework based on a space-time attention mechanism, for multiclass classification of AD, MCI, and CN individuals using structural MRI scans.

Objective: Stroke is a rare but significant cause of mortality among the pediatric age group. Despite advances in treatment, disparities in stroke-related mortality persist. We aim to analyze stroke-related mortality among pediatric age groups in the US for over two decades.

To further investigate dose and toxicity, we employ voxel-based normal tissue evaluation techniques such as ventilation maps throughout treatment. We hypothesize that ventilation change after 1 week of treatment (WK1) predicts for ventilation change at the end of treatment (EOT).

In multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals, trial-wise response amplitudes are sometimes estimated using a general linear model (GLM) with one onset regressor for each trial. When using rapid event-related designs with trials closely spaced in time, those estimates can be highly correlated due to the temporally smoothed shape of the hemodynamic response function. In previous work (Soch et al.
