Memorable objects are more susceptible to forgetting:Evidence for the inhibitory account of retrieval-induced forgetting
Contemporary medical television and crisis in the NHS
This article maps the terrain of contemporary UK medical television, paying particular attention to Call the Midwife as its centrepiece, and situating it in contextual relation to the current crisis in the NHS. It provides a historical overview of UK and US medical television, illustrating how medical television today has been shaped by noteworthy antecedents. It argues that crisis rhetoric surrounding healthcare leading up to the passing of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 has been accompanied by a renaissance in medical television. And that issues, strands and clusters have emerged in forms, registers and modes with noticeable regularity, especially around the value of affective labour, the cultural politics of nostalgia and the neoliberalisation of healthcare

Development of coordination and muscular fitness in children and adolescents with parent-reported ADHD in the German longitudinal MoMo Study
This study examined the development of muscular fitness and coordination in children and adolescents with and without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) over a period of 11 years. Data was collected in three measurement waves as part of the longitudinal, representative Motorik-Modul (MoMo) study in Germany (2003â2006, 2009â2012, 2014â2017). The overall sample comprised 2988 participants (253 with ADHD, 65% males; 2735 non-ADHD, 47% males; mean age 9 years). Structural equation modeling was conducted, and the estimated models had a good fit. No differences in muscular fitness were observed between participants with and without ADHD. Participants with ADHD had a lower coordinative performance at first measurement than those without ADHD. The difference in coordinative performance persisted throughout the study period
Predicting toxicity through computers: a changing world
The computational approaches used to predict toxicity are evolving rapidly, a process hastened on by the emergence of new ways of describing chemical information. Although this trend offers many opportunities, new regulations, such as the European Community's 'Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals' (REACH), demand that models be ever more robust

5S-IGS rDNA in wind-pollinated trees (Fagus L.) encapsulates 55 million years of reticulate evolution and hybrid origins of modern species
Standard models of plant speciation assume strictly dichotomous genealogies in which a species, the ancestor, is replaced by two offspring species. The reality in windâpollinated trees with long evolutionary histories is more complex: species evolve from other species through isolation when genetic drift exceeds gene flow; lineage mixing can give rise to new species (hybrid taxa such as nothospecies and allopolyploids). The multiâcopy, potentially multiâlocus 5S rDNA is one of few gene regions conserving signal from dichotomous and reticulate evolutionary processes down to the level of intraâgenomic recombination. Therefore, it can provide unique insights into the dynamic speciation processes of lineages that diversified tens of millions of years ago. Here, we provide the first highâthroughput sequencing (HTS) of the 5S intergenic spacers (5SâIGS) for a lineage of windâpollinated subtropical to temperate trees, the Fagus crenata â F. sylvatica s.l. lineage, and its distant relative F. japonica. The observed 4963 unique 5SâIGS variants reflect a complex history of hybrid origins, lineage sorting, mixing via secondary gene flow, and intraâgenomic competition between two or more paralogousâhomoeologous 5S rDNA lineages. We show that modern species are genetic mosaics and represent a striking case of ongoing reticulate evolution during the past 55 million years
Last months of life of people with intellectual disabilities: A UK population-based study of death and dying in intellectual disability community services.
BACKGROUND: Population-based data are presented on the nature of dying in intellectual disability services. METHODS: A retrospective survey was conducted over 18Â months with a sample of UK-based intellectual disability service providers that supported over 12,000. Core data were obtained for 222 deaths within this population. For 158 (71%) deaths, respondents returned a supplemented and modified version of VOICES-SF. RESULTS: The observed death was 12.2 deaths per 1,000 people supported per year, but just over a third deaths had been deaths anticipated by care staff. Mortality patterns, place of usual care and availability of external support exerted considerable influence over outcomes at the end of life. CONCLUSION: Death is not a common event in intellectual disability services. A major disadvantage experienced by people with intellectual disabilities was that their deaths were relatively unanticipated. People with intellectual disabilities living in supported living settings, even when their dying was anticipated, experienced poorer outcomes
Interpolated wave functions for nonadiabatic simulations with the fixed-node quantum Monte Carlo method
Simulating nonadiabatic effects with many-body wave function approaches is an
open field with many challenges. Recent interest has been driven by new
algorithmic developments and improved theoretical understanding of properties
unique to electron-ion wave functions. Fixed-node diffusion Monte Caro is one
technique that has shown promising results for simulating electron-ion systems.
In particular, we focus on the CH molecule for which previous results suggested
a relatively significant contribution to the energy from nonadiabatic effects.
We propose a new wave function ansatz for diatomic systems which involves
interpolating the determinant coefficients calculated from configuration
interaction methods. We find this to be an improvement beyond previous wave
function forms that have been considered. The calculated nonadiabatic
contribution to the energy in the CH molecule is reduced compared to our
previous results, but still remains the largest among the molecules under
consideration.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
