What is a pop-up store and how can it be used for organisational counterspacing? The pop-up can be interpreted as a fashionable and hypermodern platform focusing on the needs of a younger generation of consumers that searches for new experiences and is prone to ad hoc decision-making. From this perspective, the pop-up is a typical expression of the experience economy. But it is more. The epheme...

In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a canonical Wnt signaling pathway controls a cell migration whereas noncanonical Wnt pathways control the polarities of individual cells. Despite the differences in the identities and interactions among canonical and noncanonical Wnt pathway components, as well as the processes they regulate, almost all C. elegans Wnt pathways involve the sole Tcf homolog...

OBJECTIVE To report long-term objectives and subjective outcomes in women who underwent prolapse surgery with a synthetic graft augmentation. DESIGN Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force classification II-3). SETTING University hospital in the southeastern United States.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of two surgical procedures for the correction of anterior vaginal wall prolapse (AVWP) on the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) using symptom questionnaires and quality of life (QoL). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred women with Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification stage (POP-Q) ≥ 2 were randomly distributed in two preoperatory groups. The first group (mesh)...

BACKGROUND A prospective multicenter clinical study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a bovine dermal graft (Xenform® Matrix, Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA) during vaginal reconstructive surgery. METHODS Forty-five women with ICS stage 2 or higher pelvic organ prolapse (POP) were enrolled at 4 centers. POP-Q, pelvic floor function (PFDI-20), sexual function (PISQ-12), ...

ABSTRACT Disc fragmentation plays an important role in determining the number of primordial stars (Pop III stars), their masses, and hence initial mass function. In this second paper a series, we explore effect uniform far-ultraviolet H2-photodissociating X-ray radiation backgrounds on formation Pop using grid high-resolution zoom-in simulations. We find that, background, protostellar discs hav...

Background The present study sought to investigate the short-term effects of different delivery methods on postpartum pelvic floor function in Chinese primiparas. Methods Primiparous women who delivered a full-term, cephalic, singleton infant at our hospital between January 1, 2018 and August 15, 2019 were recruited into this study. All underwent screening 6-8 weeks postpartum. Tests included P...

Spanning 30 years and 40 individual videogames across a range of platforms, Pac-Man is one of the most recognizable of all videogame characters and a pop–culture icon. In spite of its widespread popularity, the game receives little sustained academic engagement or analysis. In an attempt to address this, the paper argues that in its classic iterations PacMan generates complex notions of space a...
