Oestrogen receptor β (ERβ) has been suggested to have anti-proliferative and anti-tumour effects in breast and prostate cancer cells, but other studies have indicated its tumour-promoting effects. Understanding the complex effects of this receptor in different contexts requires further study. We reported that high ERβ expression is independently associated with improved prognosis in female colorec

The insertion of rigid aliphatic or aromatic building blocks in polymer structures is an efficient synthetic strategy towards high-Tg polymer materials. In the present work, we have functionalized isosorbide 5-methacrylate with various aromatic lignin-inspired esters to yield a series of isosorbide-2-aryl carboxylate-5-methacrylate monomers (ArIMAs) as single regioisomers. The selection of phenyl

Sustainable business model innovation is an emerging topic, but only few tools are currently available to assist companies in sustainable business modelling. This paper works towards closing this gap by bringing together ‘design thinking’ and ‘sustainable business model innovation’ to refine the creative process of developing sustainable value propositions and improve the overall business modellin

The particular properties of argumental compounds in Italian pose interesting theoretical challenges, and investigations of possible syntactic operations within this type of complex words have resulted in conflicting conclusions. Regarding compoundinternal anaphora, some researchers exclude the possibility that pronouns can refer to the non-head, while others do not. However, these findings have b

A measurement of inclusive and differential fiducial cross-sections for the production of the Higgs boson decaying into two photons is performed using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded at s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The inclusive cross-section times branching ratio, in a fiducial region closely matching the experimental selection, is measured to

The recent rise in atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations accelerates climate change and offsets mitigation efforts. Although wetlands are the largest natural CH4 source, estimates of global wetland CH4 emissions vary widely among approaches taken by bottom-up (BU) process-based biogeochemical models and top-down (TD) atmospheric inversion methods. Here, we integrate in situ measurements, multi-

PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to develop a new family of test algorithms for computerized static threshold perimetry which significantly reduces test time without any reduction of data quality.METHODS: A comprehensive visual field model constructed from available knowledge of normal and glaucomatous visual fields is continuously updated during testing. The model produces threshold estimate

BackgroundProenkephalin A 119-159 (PENK) is freely filtered in the glomerulus with plasma levels correlating with glomerular filtration rate. Therefore, PENK has been proposed as an early indicator of acute kidney injury (AKI) although its performance is dependent on the clinical setting. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the correlation between PENK levels and the development of AKI.Methods

Harp seals (Phoca groenlandicus), once present in the Baltic Sea, now stand extinct. During the Middle Neolithic period, they held significant dietary importance for the Pitted Ware Culture hunter-fisher-gatherers in Scandinavia. Because they are no longer available for ecological studies, little is known about their specific behavioural intricacies, such as diet, mobility, and reproductive strate

The European Spallation Source (ESS), currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, will house a suite of 16 user instruments for neutron scattering experiments. The spallation source of the ESS will emit relatively long, 2.8 ms, neutron pulses with an integrated flux that will greatly exceed that of current facilities. This leads to both large advancements in instrument performance as well as to

Våld i nära relationer har under många år varit och är än idag ett stort samhällsproblem. Det är ett problematiskt område som troligtvis har ett stort mörkertal och därmed är svårt att upptäcka. I vissa fall kanske våld i nära relationer inte upptäcks förrän det är för sent. Vilka möjligheter har brottsoffer för våld i nära relationer att freda sig själv och sin familj? Syftet med denna uppsats ärDomestic violence has always been a major social problem and still is. This kind of crime is often characterized by hidden statistics which makes it difficult to detect in many cases. What possibilities do victims of domestic violence have to protect themselves and their families? The purpose of this thesis is to examine the possibility to use preventive self-defense in cases of domestic violence.

Klimatanpassning av småskaligt jordbruk - en fallstudie i södra Indien En förutsättning för att vi i framtiden ska kunna föda jordens ökande befolkning är att vi anpassar vårt jordbruk till klimatförändringarna. På många platser i världen innebär detta att man måste möjliggöra odling i ett mycket torrare klimat. I vår studie undersöker vi vilka tekniker som finns för att underlätta detta och ger A major consequence of climate change will be changes in precipitation. Both amount and distribution will be affected and the changes will vary greatly between different places on the globe. In the inland parts of Pudukottai district, located in southern India, as well as in many other places, the result will likely be increased water scarcity and severe droughts, with dire consequences for food s

A reduced kinetic mechanism for methanol combustion at spark-ignition (SI) engine conditions is presented. The mechanism consists of 18 species and 55 irreversible reactions, small enough to be suitable for large eddy simulations (LES). The mechanism was reduced and optimized using the comprehensive mechanism (AramcoMech 2.0) as a starting point, to maintain performance at stoichiometric condition

The aim of this study was to investigate how social workers look at the boundaries between their private sphere and working hours. Furthermore, it is intended to study how social workers look at work-related situations that may occur in their leisure time and how they handle them. The selection of respondents consisted of social workers who had a social education and had a regular professional con

Newly constructed building stocks have been decreasing in last decades; thus, renovation and retrofitting represent a large amount of opportunities to upgrade the building performance and energy efficiency of building assets in their life span, as well as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. An overall assessment of a lighting retrofit project can support to judge the quality of a retrofit as good

Hybrid mismatch arrangements, which exploit differences in the tax treatment of dividends and interest as well as differences in the classification of financial instruments between two or more countries, have been found to be a widely used tool in aggressive tax planning since multinational companies using hybrid financial instruments could benefit from the “double dip” phenomenon. This issue has

As the ultimate demand of packaging is derived from the end- consumer, the packaging industry needs to have comprehensive end-user market knowledge to acquire new customers. The importance of the market information is further emphasized when the potential customer is in the unfamiliar geographical region. Milk formula is a food product that the recent growth comes from the Asia-Pacific; therefore
