description: Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) are a major constraint for small ruminant production. Due to the rise of anthelmintic resistance throughout the world, alternative control strategies are needed. The development of GIN resistance breeding programs is a promising strategy. However, a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying genetic resistance might lead to more effective breeding programmes. In this study, we compare transcriptome profiling of abomasal mucosa and lymph node tissues from non-infected, resistant and susceptible infected Creole goats using RNA-sequencing. A total of 24 kids, 12 susceptible and 12 GIN resistant based on the estimated breeding value, were infected twice with 10,000 L3 Haemonchus contortus. Physiological and parasitological parameters were monitored during infection. Seven weeks after the second infection, extreme kids (n = 6 resistant and 6 susceptible), chosen on the basis of the fecal egg counts (FEC), and 3 uninfected control animals were slaughtered. Susceptible kids had significantly higher FEC compared with resistant kids during the second infection with no differences in worm burden, male and female worm count or establishment rate. A higher number of differentially expressed genes (DEG) were identified in infected compared with non-infected animals in both abomasal mucosa (792 DEG) and lymph nodes (1726 DEG). There were fewer DEG in resistant versus susceptible groups (342 and 450 DEG, in abomasal mucosa and lymph nodes respectively). ‘Cell cycle’ and ‘cell death and survival’ were the main identified networks in mucosal tissue when comparing infected versus non-infected kids. Antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen via major histocompatibility complex class I were in the top biological functions for the DEG identified in lymph nodes. The TGFβ1 gene was one of the top 5 upstream DEG in mucosal tissue. Our results are one of the fist investigating differences in the expression profile induced by GIN infection in goats.

description: Background & objectives: This study investigates the association of two potential Fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) gene polymorphisms (rs9939609 and rs918031) as potential predictors of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in obese Iraqi population and their metabolic effects on hyperglycemia and insulin sensitivity. Materials & methods: The study included 400 participants with obesity & T2D, with a matching 400 obese non-diabetic cohort. Venous blood samples were collected for DNA extraction. Using specific primers and restriction enzymes, genotyping was performed to identify the various alleles for each gene. The genotype and allele frequencies determined by multinomial logistic regression analysis for FTO single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs9939609) among all the study groups. Results: There is a two-fold increase in the risk of T2D within the homozygous genotype (TT) group (OR = 2.43, CI 95% 3.57–11.2, P ≤ 0.001) as compared to the wild type (TA). In addition, there was a significantly higher level of the minor allele genotype (T) in T2D patients when compared to the control group, (P ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: We conclude that the FTO rs9939609 genotype significantly affect the development of insulin resistance, therefore the future occurrence of T2D, in obese individuals.

By considering new scholarship on the social distribution of cognition, artificial intelligence (AI) and philosophies of mind, this article suggests another epistemology for research in history. The contrast of new models of AI with old existentialist phenomenologies of being-in-time now suggests how meaningful action can operate without representations. These issues affect research in history. ‘Picturing’ theories of mind grounding Historicist and Poststructuralist academic historiographies are here re-appraised against these new trends. History research is found to be also now a quasi-ethnographic ‘ontological’ study of life-worlds in past being. The new epistemology I suggest here is a hermeneutic of inferences of descriptive disclosure of situated human predicaments.

description: In this work, minimally processed sisal microfibres along with commercial eucalyptus pulp were used as reinforcement of composites based on magnesium oxide and silica cement (60/40 ratio by weight of MgO/SiO2) with high filler content. The fibre cement composites were submitted to a fast carbonation process, resulting in the formation of hydrated magnesium carbonate, which contributed to improved physical and mechanical properties. All composites presented a strain-hardening behaviour and high specific energy under flexural loading, in special the composites with 10% of fibres. We demonstrated that the sisal microfibres produced by a chemical/mechanical process can be used as an efficient reinforcing material in combination with commercial cellulose pulp for MgO-SiO2 composites.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2025

description: This dissertation presents a cross-sectional quantitative analysis of the Registered Environmental Health Specialist (REHS) workforce in New Jersey. It focuses on identifying demographic characteristics, assessing salary disparities, and evaluating job satisfaction. A response rate of 43% of the workforce was achieved, with representation from the REHS workforce across the state's 21 counties, through a multifaceted recruitment strategy that included email invitations and social media outreach via the New Jersey Environmental Health Association (NJEHA) and Rutgers Environment and Public Health (EPH) channels. Primary data was collected through an online Qualtrics survey, which utilized validated items from the Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS) and the Understanding the Needs, Challenges, Opportunities, Vision, and Emerging Roles in Environmental Health (UNCOVER EH) studies, along with additional questions specifically tailored for New Jersey's workforce. Secondary salary data was gathered through Open Public Records Act (OPRA) requests made to 104 local health departments and the New Jersey Department of Health regarding REHS titles. This research provides data-driven recommendations to guide workforce policies, improve recruitment and retention strategies, and address significant gaps in the environmental health workforce. By aligning these recommendations with the Social-Ecological Model (SEM), the study establishes a framework for enhancing workforce capacity and promoting equity across public health systems in New Jersey and beyond. Keywords: Registered Environmental Health Specialist, REHS, Environmental Health, Public Health, Workforce, Demographics, Salary, Job Satisfaction, New Jersey.

description: This presentation, developed as part of the Energy Modelling Platform for Africa (EMP-A) 2025, investigates electrification options for remote, off-grid Mauritanian communities. It evaluates whether integrating solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and battery storage with diesel generation can deliver more sustainable and cost-effective outcomes. Electricity demand was assessed using the RAMP tool with a 3% annual growth rate, and three system configurations were simulated using MicrogridsPy: diesel-only, diesel + solar PV, and diesel + solar PV + battery. Results demonstrate that hybrid systems, particularly those including battery storage, significantly reduce fuel consumption, operational costs, and CO₂ emissions. These findings provide actionable insights to support Mauritania’s rural electrification and climate-aligned development strategies.

Objective To determine whether the duration of noninvasive respiratory support exposure is associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or death in preterm infants. Methods Multicenter, retrospective study of infants born at <29 weeks’ gestation. The association between days on noninvasive respiratory support and BPD or death was determined using instrumental variable techniques and generalized propensity score matching to account for potential confounding by illness severity. Results Among 6268 infants 36% developed BPD or died. The median duration of noninvasive respiratory support was 18 days. There was inconsistency in the association between noninvasive support and BPD or death when analyzed by instrumental variable techniques (Average Marginal Effect −0.37; 95% CI −1.23 to 0.50) and generalized propensity score matching (Average Marginal Effect 0.46; 95% CI 0.33 to 0.60). Conclusion Findings on the association between duration of exposure to noninvasive respiratory support and the development of BPD or death were inconclusive.

description: The Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering Division of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center conducts annual bottom trawl surveys to monitor the condition of the demersal fish and crab stocks of the eastern Bering Sea continental shelf. The standard study area encompasses a major portion of the eastern Bering Sea shelf (depths between 20 - 200 m) from the Alaska Peninsula north to approximately the latitude of St. Matthew Island (60° 50' N). In 2013, two chartered trawlers, the 40-m FV Aldebaran and the 43.5-m FV Alaska Knight, surveyed this area. Demersal populations were sampled by trawling for 30 minutes at stations centered within 37.04 × 37.04 km (20 × 20 nmi) grids covering the survey area. At each station, species composition of the catch was determined, and length distributions and age structure samples were collected from ecologically and commercially important species. Three-hundred seventy-six standard survey stations were successfully sampled. A total of 93 fish species and 256 invertebrate taxa were identified in catches from the EBS survey . The combined biomass of walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus), yellowfin sole (Limanda aspera), and northern rock sole (Lepidopsetta polyxystra) was 8.6 million metric tons (t) which was 71% of the total fish biomass. The biomass of invertebrates was primarily composed of echinoderms (1.3 million t) and crustaceans (0.9 million t). Survey results presented in this report include abundance estimates for fishes and invertebrates, geographic distributions and size compositions of selected fish species, and contour plots of surface and bottom temperatures during the survey sampling period. Appendices provide station data, catch data summarized by station, taxon listings, and detailed analyses of abundance and biological data of the sampled populations.

description: This study introduces a Vision Transformer-based model, ViT-BT, aimed at improving the classification of brain tumors using MRI scans. Leveraging transfer learning, the proposed approach utilizes Vision Transformers to address the limitations of conventional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which often fall short in capturing the broader contextual information in images. The self-attention mechanism in Vision Transformers enables effective modelling of long-range dependencies, making them well-suited for medical imaging tasks. In this work, the ViT-BT model is initially pre-trained and subsequently fine-tuned on dedicated brain tumor MRI datasets to enhance its classification performance across different tumor types. Evaluated using the BraTS 2023 dataset—which includes T1, T2, T1CE, and Flair modalities—the model achieved outstanding performance with precision of 97%, recall of 99%, F1-score of 99.41%, and accuracy of 98.17%. These results suggest that ViT-BT not only surpasses traditional CNN-based approaches but also holds significant promise for enhancing diagnostic precision in clinical environments. The findings highlight the effectiveness of Vision Transformer-based transfer learning in medical imaging and its potential for broader applications in healthcare.

Leerstelle in der wirtschaftspolitischen Debatte? Die Piketty-Rezeption und Vermögensungleichheit in Deutschland
Creators: name: Bank, Julian
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2016

description: Zusammenfassung:

Der Artikel befasst sich mit der Rezeption von Thomas Pikettys Buchs „Das Kapital im 21. Jahundert“ in Deutschland im Hinblick auf das Thema der Vermögensungleichheit. Im Anschluss an einen Überblick über die Lage der Vermögensungleichheit in Deutschland und eine Einordnung von Pikettys Werk folgt eine Analyse der deutschsprachigen Besprechungen von Pikettys Buch im Jahr 2014 bis zur Veröffentlichung der deutschen Übersetzung entlang von fünf Themensträngen. Die Analyse kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Rezeption in Deutschland – in scharfem Kontrast zu den USA – einseitig und wenig wertschätzend angesichts der beeindruckenden Forschungsleistung Pikettys ausfällt. Das Fazit schließt mit weiterführenden Überlegungen zur Rolle von Wirtschaftswissenschaft, Medien, Parteien und Interessengruppen.

Abstract:

The article deals with the reception of Thomas Piketty’s book “Capital in the 21st Century” in Germany with regard to the issue of wealth inequality. It starts with a brief overview of the situation of wealth inequality in Germany and a short introduction to the major themes of Piketty’s book. It then analyses the German reception of the book in the year 2014 up until the publication of the German translation alongside five themes. The analysis shows that in stark contrast to the US reception, the German debate was one-sided and lacked recognition of Pikettys impressive contribution. It concludes with further thoughts on the role of the economics discipline, the media, political parties and interest groups in Germany.

Polarisierung gefährdet Kapitalismus
Creators: name: Elsenhans, Hartmut
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen

description: Funktionierender Kapitalismus erfordert die Begrenzung von Vermögen, weil der Bedarf an Kapital im Kapitalismus begrenzt ist: Sofern Vermögen kapitalistisch genutzt wird, ist sein Umfang durch die dauernde Konkurrenz und die damit verbundene Effizienz begrenzt. Anderes Vermögen ist tot, außerhalb des kapitalistischen Verwertungsprozesses und Quelle von politischer Unterhöhlung von Kapitalismus durch Rente. Die Reichen wollen nicht kapitalistische Konkurrenz sondern nichtkapitalistische Privilegien. Kapitalismus erfordert deshalb die fortwährende Entwertung von kapitalistischem Vermögen durch technischen Fortschritt und die Eindämmung der Auswirkungen von nichtkapitalistischem Vermögen auf den Kapitalismus. Voraussetzung dafür ist die Bekämpfung politisch abgesicherter hoher Einkommen, von Renten, durch Vollbeschäftigung und Verhandlungsmacht von Arbeit.

For its smooth operation, capitalism requires limits to wealth. The amount of capital needed is limited because of competition and efficiency in the utilisation of investible funds. Other forms of wealth do not have a role within the capitalist process of applying capitalist wealth productively such that all forms of non-capitalist wealth hollow out capitalism in the increasing political and economic deadweight of rents. The rich do not want capitalist competition, but non-capitalist privilege. Capitalism therefore requires the permanent obsolescence and devalorisation of capitalist wealth achieved through technical progress. The influence of non-capitalist wealth has to be permanently checked. The struggle against politically guaranteed high incomes, basically rents, by means of high levels of employment and negotiating power of labour are essential preconditions for maintaining a functioning capitalism

Makroökonomische Wirkungen der Vermögenskonzentration
Creators: name: Schmidt, Johannes
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2016

description: Dieser Aufsatz gibt einen Überblick über die makroökonomischen Wirkungen der Vermögensungleichheit, die in der Literatur diskutiert werden. Dabei stehen die Wirkungen auf das Wirtschaftswachstum im Vordergrund. Es werden sowohl die theoretischen Modellierungen vorgestellt, die die Mechanismen aufzeigen, wie eine ungleiche Vermögensverteilung das Wirtschaftswachstum beeinflusst, als auch die empirischen Studien, die den Zusammenhang beleuchten. Dabei kommt die neuere Literatur überwiegend zu dem Schluss, dass eine hohe Vermögenskonzentration das Wirtschaftswachstum negativ beeinflusst. In konjunktureller Hinsicht kann eine hohe Vermögenskonzentration ebenfalls negativ wirken und Wirtschaftskrisen verschärfen, wie sich in der jüngsten Zeit gezeigt hat.

The paper gives an overview of the macroeconomic effects of wealth inequality as they are discussed in the literature. The emphasis lies on the effects on economic growth. The paper presents both the theoretical models that show the mechanisms how an unequal distribution of wealth influences economic growth and empirical studies illuminating the relationship. Current literature predominantly reasons that a high wealth inequality influences economic growth negatively. Looking at the business cycle a high wealth inequality can also have negative effects and intensify economic crises, as could be seen recently.

Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2016

description: In diesem Beitrag werden die Verteilungstendenzen im finanzdomi-nierten Kapitalismus sowie die sich daraus ergebenden makroöko-nomischen Folgen thematisiert. Es wird dabei exemplarisch auf die Entwicklungen in sechs wichtigen und gewisser Weise repräsentati-ven Ländern eingegangen: USA, Großbritannien, Spanien, Deutsch-land, Schweden und Frankreich. Zunächst wird die Makroökonomik eines finanzdominierten Kapitalismus aus einer post-keynesianischen makroökonomischen Perspektive beleuchtet, dann werden die Verteilungstendenzen in den untersuchten Ländern an-hand verschiedener Indikatoren dargestellt. Danach werden die vor-herrschenden makroökonomischen Regime in diesen Ländern vor der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise sowie die damit verbundenen glo-balen Ungleichgewichte präsentieren, die dann in die Krise führten. Zuletzt werden die Veränderungen dieser Regime in der Krise und den Folgejahren analysiert und es werden wirtschaftspolitische Schlussfolgerungen gezogen.

In this contribution the distributional tendencies in finance-dominated capitalism, as well as the macroeconomic consequences are tack-led. The developments in the US, the UK, Spain, Germany, Sweden and France will be taken as representative examples. We start with an outline of the macroeconomics of finance-dominated capitalism from a post-keynesian perspective. Then the distributional tenden-cies in the examined countries will be sketched using different indi-cators. Afterwards, the macroeconomic regimes in these countries before the financial and economic crises will be presented, as well as the global imbalances associated with these regimes, which led to the crisis. Finally, changes in the macroeconomic regimes in the years following the crisis will be examined and some economic poli-cy conclusions will be drawn.

Gerechtfertigte Besteuerung von Vermögen und Erbschaften? Leitbilder für eine Steuerpolitik angesichts sozialer Ungleichheiten
Creators: name: Fisch, Andreas
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2016

description: Die Vermögensungleichheit erweist sich in Deutschland als besonders ausgeprägt. Erbschaften verfestigen die relative und verstärken die absolute Vermögensungleichheit. Um die denkbare Rolle des Steuersystems angesichts sozialer Ungleichheiten zu entwerfen, werden - ausgehend von vier Prinzipien - neun Kriterien für ein gerechtfertigtes Steuersystem entwickelt und in die aktuellen Debatten um Vermögens-, Erbschafts- und Schenkungssteuer eingebracht. Die Analyse entlarvt eine Reihe von „Mythen“ und offenbart zahlreiche nicht gerechtfertigte Privilegien für besonders Leistungsfähige. Sie identifiziert Anliegen mit dringendem Reformbedarf und entwickelt mehrere ethisch legitimierte Reformalternativen. Vier gesellschaftliche Leitbilder werden als Orientierung für gesellschaftliche Verständigungsprozesse vorgeschlagen.

A very high level of wealth inequality exists in Germany, a tendency that is reinforced by inheritances in combination with existing inheritance laws. Based on four main guiding principles nine criteria will be developed as a framework for an ethically justifiable tax system. These criteria are linked to current discussions on such topics as wealth tax and inheritance tax. The analysis debunks some “myths” and highlights various unjustifiable privileges for the very wealthy. This examination identifies numerous areas requiring reform und outlines several ethically legitimate reform options. Finally, four social mission statements  for continued debate in civil society are proposed.

description: Um die Vermögenskonzentration an der Spitze abzubauen, plädiert der Beitrag für den Aufbau eines öffentlichen Kapitalstocks im öffentlichen Eigentum. Dazu diskutiert er zwei Modelle. Das erste: Öffentliches Kapital wird –erstens - in Finanzmärkte investiert und aus den erzielten Renditen eine soziale Dividende an die Bürgerinnen und Bürger ausgezahlt – mit der Möglichkeit, dass diese ihre Dividende  selbst reinvestieren können. Das zweite Modell, mit dem nicht nur die Vermögensungleichheit, sondern auch die daraus resultierende Machtungleichheit bewältigt werden soll: Das öffentliche Kapital wird genutzt, um für einen »Bundesaktionär« die Mehrheitskontrolle zu erlangen, so die Übermacht der Vermögenden zu brechen – und um die Mitbestimmung zu stärken sowie die Konzerne der Zivilgesellschaft gegenüber transparenter zu machen.

Kapitalakkumulation durch Kapitalbesteuerung? Eine kontextuelle Analyse der Vermögensbesteuerung
Creators: name: Klüh, Ulrich
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2016

description: Der Artikel untersucht die Frage, ob eine stärkere Besteuerung von Vermögen/Kapital einen sinnvollen Beitrag zur Lösung aktueller sozioökonomischer Probleme liefern kann. Er betont sowohl makroökonomische Aspekte als auch Einsichten der Theorie optimaler Besteuerung. Obwohl die meisten Argumente traditionelle ökonomische Einsichten beinhalten, wird versucht, diese Argumente im Sinne einer kontextuellen Ökonomik in eine umfassendere Analyse gegenwärtiger ökonomischer Herausforderungen einzubetten. Insbesondere werden Aspekte beleuchtet, die nicht nur die Bildung von Real- und Finanzkapital, sondern Sozial-, Human-, und Naturkapital berücksichtigen. Der Artikel kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die übliche Sorge, eine Vermögensbesteuerung schade der Kapitalakkumulation und damit der Wirtschaftsentwicklung, einer verengten Sichtweise geschuldet ist.

The article asks whether wealth/capital taxes represent useful tools to deal with current socio-economic challenges. It focuses on economic perspectives, in particular saving-investment imbalances, the current underutilization of productive resources, and results from the theory of optimal taxation. Though most arguments are from the realm of traditional economics, the article provides a contextual perspective. In particular, it takes into account forms of capital that are not usually associated with the issue of capital taxation, namely human, social, and natural capital. The article concludes that capital taxation may well represent a possibility to increase overall capital accumulation and thus benefit economic development.

description:
The natural history collections community has made significant strides in the past decade in the digitization of their holdings. Digitization has made the data and corresponding images of collections publicly available to researchers, students, and the public. Data and images are served online by institutions’ local databases, and regional, national, and international aggregators. One challenging aspect in digitizing natural history collections is the presence of offensive language, such as racial slurs in collection and location data. We present findings from a community survey and analysis of data from relevant aggregators to assess the presence of and approach to offensive language in collections data. We also suggest initial guidelines for data warning statements and disclaimers and transcription guidelines to help preserve historical integrity of data while also supporting inclusive and safe workspaces. Please note that in writing about offensive terms found in natural history collections, we use and refer to offensive terms and include images of labels and documents to provide examples.
Soziale Ungleichheit, politische Ungleichheitund die Rolle der Stiftungen
Creators: name: Hirschel, Dierk
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2016

description: Die soziale Ungleichheit ist in den letzten 30 Jahren weltweit gestiegen. Dadurch hat sich die Zahl der Reichen und Superreichen deutlich erhöht. Ihre Macht und ihr Einfluss auf Politik, Verwaltung, Medien und Kultur hat zugenommen. Gleichzeitig stieg die öffentliche Armut. Ein chronisch unterfinanzierter Staat kann seine sozial- und kulturpolitischen Aufgaben immer schlechter wahrnehmen. In diese Lücke stoßen private Stiftungen reicher Stifter. Im letzten Jahrzehnt gab es einen Gründerboom bei privaten Stiftungen. Sie bringen ihren Gründern wirtschaftlichen Nutzen, erhöhen ihren politischen Einfluss und werden zu einer institutionalisierten undemokratischen Macht privaten Reichtum.

description: In this paper, we revisit the empirical evidence regarding the effect of variations in soil fertility on violence at local level. Recent evidence using spatial econometrics technique shows that increases in input (fertilizer) prices exacerbate income inequality and conflict, especially where soil fertility is more heterogeneous. However, when observational units are dense in physical space, they become susceptible to spatial dependence and heterogeneity. Our main contribution is methodological: we solve the foregoing issue by using local soil nutrient availability measurement to proxy soil fertility and employing spatial first differences (SFD) to investigate the effect of soil quality on local conflict. This methodology offers a framework that eliminates bias in soil quality data while accounting for spatial dependence and unobserved spatial heterogeneity. Also, we use geo-referenced data across countries within Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions at a spatial resolution of (0.5 × 0.5) degrees over a more extended period (1997 to 2022) to show that soil nutrient heterogeneity magnifies conflicts.

description: Natural selection has given rise to an exceptional diversity of animals. Here, we explore this diversity as it relates to sleep behavior and neurophysiology. We provide a comprehensive review of sleep in mammals, birds (or avian reptiles), nonavian reptiles, amphibians, bony and cartilaginous fishes, and invertebrates. We also discuss how ecological factors, such as predation risk, have shaped sleep in prey and the growing literature on the influences of light pollution on sleep in humans and wildlife. Lastly, we highlight recent studies on species that can forgo sleep for extended periods of time and, by doing so, challenge notions about the adaptive value of sleep. Whenever possible, we interpret evolutionary patterns in the light of functional hypotheses for sleep. Throughout, we emphasize the unique contribution that comparative sleep research has made to our broader understanding of sleep and sleep functions.

description: This study investigated cognitive functioning and understanding of peripheral neuropathy in a cohort of individuals with diabetes-related foot ulcers requiring hospitalization. The aim was to examine the association between cognition, understanding of peripheral neuropathy, and diabetic health variables. Thirty inpatients referred to the Diabetic Foot Unit Clinical Psychology service, at the Royal Melbourne hospital, were assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Patient Interpretation of Neuropathy (PIN) questionnaire. Relevant demographic and medical information was collected. In this predominantly middle-aged, male cohort, the average MoCA score (22.37, SD = 3.65) fell below the general population age-matched mean, and a quarter of the MoCA patient scores were consistent with those seen in early dementia samples (<20). There appeared to be several misperceptions regarding peripheral neuropathy, less accurate attributions of blame to self or practitioners, and more accurate attributions of control of ulcer management to practitioners. Correlation analysis indicated that individuals with stronger MoCA scores tended to provide more accurate answers on the Acute Foot Ulcer Onset PIN scale. Individuals with diabetes-related foot ulcers requiring hospitalization demonstrate reduced cognitive functioning and this may affect their understanding of peripheral neuropathy, particularly information regarding foot ulcer onset. Routine screening of cognitive functioning in this cohort may be useful so that health education and care management can be adjusted according to individual patients’ cognitive capabilities.
