PURPOSE: Exercise during chemotherapy has beneficial long-term effects on women with breast cancer, but short-term beneficial changes have been less investigated. Though short-term changes may be important as a encouraging factor, this study aimed to investigate immediate changes in self-reported energy, stress, nausea and pain following a single exercise session during chemotherapy.METHODS: Forty
A replacement name Obscuroplaca for the illegitimate genus Phaeoplaca is introduced. The three known species are transferred as Obscuroplaca camptidia, O. ochrolechioides, and O. tortuca.
Adaptive plasticity processes are required involving neurons as well as non-neuronal cells to recover lost brain functions after an ischemic stroke. Recent studies show that gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) has profound effects on glial and immune cell functions in addition to its inhibitory actions on neuronal circuits in the post-ischemic brain. Here, we provide an overview of how GABAergic neurot
Public transportation (PT) is an essential system for cities to achieve sustainability. However, determination of proper locations for PT stations and finding suitable routes are critical decisions. This paper aims to propose a novel method to determine BRT stations and routes in the cities, using Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and Binary Integer Programming (BIP). In the proposed method, first, a s
Radiocarbon dating is the gold standard in archeology to estimate the age of skeletons, a key to studying their origins. Many published ancient genomes lack reliable and direct dates, which results in obscure and contradictory reports. We developed the temporal population structure (TPS), a DNA-based dating method for genomes ranging from the Late Mesolithic to today, and applied it to 3,591 ancie
We consider a numerical approximation of a linear quadratic control problem constrained by the stochastic heat equation with nonhomogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. This involves a combination of distributed and boundary control, as well as both distributed and boundary noise. We apply the finite element method for the spatial discretization and the linear implicit Euler method for the tempora
Calculations of unsteady two-dimensional-flow around rectangular cylinders at incidence are presented. The Reynolds numbers are low ( ⩽ 200), so that the flow presumably is laminar. The results are in reasonable agreement with the indeed scarce experimental data available at these low Reynolds numbers. An incompressible SIMPLEC code is used employing non-staggered grid arrangement. A third-order Q
Cosmogenic radionuclide records (e.g., 10Be and 14C) contain information on past geomagnetic dipole moment and solar activity changes. Disentangling these signals is challenging, but can be achieved by using independent reconstructions of the geomagnetic dipole moment. Consequently, solar activity reconstructions are directly influenced by the dipole moment uncertainties. Alternatively, the known
Background: The instant, single-sampling rule-out of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still an unmet clinical need. We aimed at testing and comparing diagnostic performance and prognostic value of two different single-sampling biomarker strategies for the instant rule-out of AMI. Methods: From the Biomarkers in Acute Cardiac Care (BACC) cohort, we recruited consecutive patients with acute ches
Purpose: Ecopreneurs are individuals who engage in entrepreneurial activities, starting green-green ventures, and focusing on sustainability. Ecopreneurs are shown to be key drivers in our society’s transition toward sustainability. This research focuses on environmental sustainability and the reason these individuals engage in ecopreneurship. What is their motivation to start a green-green ventur
In 2020, Zenuity was split up and the new company, Zenseact became a subsidiary to the car manufacturer Volvo Cars, owning 86,5% of the company. In the end of 2022, Volvo Cars acquired the rest of the company and became fully owner of Zenseact. Being a knowledge heavy company with ambitious developers at the core of the organization, Zenseact develops driving assistance software powered by advance
This thesis seeks to investigate the structural circumstances regarding the poor refugee protection for Burmese refugees in Thailand. Acknowledging that existing laws are politically motivated, the first part of this thesis examines the political context that determines the structure of the legal framework. The second part of the thesis scrutinizes the juridical framework concerning refugees, name
The essay deals with how one can predict a state's behaviour through discourse analysis. It argues that while actors must have a real capacity for action, their re-spective discourse must also house a conceptualization of that capacity in order for an actor to be expected to make decisions to employ said action. Instruments of power must also be perceived as effective in order to be employed.
This study investigates the consequences that female descriptive representation, at the highest executive political position, had on violence against women in politics. More specifically it looks at Jeanine Áñez ́s presidency and its impact on violence against women in Bolivia. The research question guiding the research is What were the consequences of Jeanine Áñez ́s presidency for violence again
Denna uppsats undersöker hur EU:s konkurrenslagstiftning reglerar interoperabilitetsskyldigheter för dominerande digitala plattformar. Uppsatsen visar hur EU-domstolens avgörande i Android Auto (C-233/23) omformar teorin om nödvändiga nyttigheter (Essential Facilities Doctrine, EFD) som etablerades i Bronner-domen (C-7/97). Vidare analyseras denna framväxande doktrins samspel med de interoperabiliThis thesis explores how EU competition law governs interoperability obligations for dominant digital platforms. It shows how the CJEU’s judgment in Android Auto (C-233/23) redefines the Essential Facilities Doctrine (EFD) established in Bronner judgment (C-7/97) and how this emerging doctrine interacts with the interoperability obligations introduced by the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The Android
Denna uppsats behandlar EU:s nya regler som förändrar kravet på prospekt - ett detaljerat informationsdokument som företag måste publicera när de erbju-der aktier till allmänheten eller noterar dem på en marknadsplats. Prospektet skyddar investerare genom att ge klar information om företaget, aktierna och riskerna, så att de kan fatta välgrundade beslut. Uppsatsen fokuserar på "tröskelvärdet&This essay discusses how the EU's new regulations change the requirement for prospectus - a detailed information document that companies must publish when offering shares to the public or listing them on a marketplace. The prospectus protects investors by providing clear information about the company, the shares, and the risks, enabling them to make well-informed investments. The essay focuses
This thesis investigates whether integrating technical market data with fundamental accounting variables improves the out-of-sample predictability of stock returns in the highly liquid S&P 100 universe. Using an expanding window approach from 2010 to 2024, the study compares the performance of regularized linear (Ridge Regression) and non-linear (Histogram Gradient Boosting) estimators against
The aim of this research is to study three particle correlations in pseudo-rapidity for the $\Lambda^0$,$\Xi^0$, and $\Omega^-$ hyperons with a focus on their baryon and strangeness quantum numbers. The two primary questions asked are, into which particles are these quantum numbers typically conserved, and what are their correlations in momentum space. The research investigates these problems by e
