Journal Article
(2017). Binding Committee Interpretations in the EU’s New Free Trade and Investment Agreements. https://doi.org/10.1163/24689017-00201004

The EU’s new Free Trade and Investment Agreements (FTIAs) are meant to tackle many of the issues that led to the contestation of international investment law, by increasing the control of the contracting parties over the agreements. One such mechanis... Read More about Binding Committee Interpretations in the EU’s New Free Trade and Investment Agreements.

Nitrates for the Management of Acute Heart Failure Syndromes, A Systematic Review (2017)
Journal Article
(2017). Nitrates for the Management of Acute Heart Failure Syndromes, A Systematic Review. Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 20 -27. https://doi.org/10.1177/1074248416644345

Intravenous nitrates are widely used in the management of acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) yet with lack of robust evidence to support their use. We therefore sought to analyze all randomized studies that evaluated the effects of nitrates on clini...

The justificandum of the human sciences: Collingwood on reasons for acting (2017)
Journal Article
D'Oro. (2017). The justificandum of the human sciences: Collingwood on reasons for acting. Collingwood and British Idealism Studies, 41-65

It is sometimes assumed that justification is factive. A negative implication of this claim is that reasons are not psychological entities such as believings or desirings. Another, positive, implication of this claim is that there is an important con... Read More about The justificandum of the human sciences: Collingwood on reasons for acting.

Data-driven region-of-interest selection without inflating Type I error rate (2017)
Journal Article

In ERP and other large multidimensional neuroscience data sets, researchers often select regions of interest (ROIs) for analysis. The method of ROI selection can critically affect the conclusions of a study by causing the researcher to miss effects i...

Delayed maximum northern European summer temperatures during the Last Interglacial as a result of Greenland Ice Sheet melt (2017)
Journal Article
(2017). Delayed maximum northern European summer temperatures during the Last Interglacial as a result of Greenland Ice Sheet melt. Geology, 23 - 26. https://doi.org/10.1130/G38402.1

Here we report a new quantitative mean July temperature reconstruction using non-biting midges (chironomids) from the Danish Last Interglacial (LIG) site Hollerup (spanning 127–116 ka). We find that peak mean July temperatures of 17.5 °C, similar to...

Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1177/2333721417697843

There is increasing evidence concerning adverse health consequences of low vitamin D levels. We determined whether there is any surrogate for measuring vitamin D in people older than 70 years and the relation between index of multiple deprivation (IM...
