BACKGROUND: The major pathways contributing to cardiovascular disease among night shift workers remain poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as novel regulators of cardiovascular risk factors. Our objective was to examine whether night shift work was associated with altered expression of five cardiovascular-related miRNAs in night and day shift workers.METHODS: RNA was extract
A set of ultrawide bandgap single-crystal NdGaO3 samples cut with crystallographic surface orientations (001), (101), and (110) are investigated by using generalized spectroscopic ellipsometry. We report the complex anisotropic dielectric functions in the spectral range from 0.73 to 9.0 eV, for polarization along directions a, b, and c of the orthorhombic unit cell. A Kramers–Kronig consistent par
We investigate the temperature-dependent complex dielectric function of bulk single-crystal In2O3 over the spectral range of 1–6 eV and temperatures from room temperature to 600 °C under high-vacuum conditions using in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry. The dielectric function was modeled using wavelength-by-wavelength and critical-point model dielectric function analyses. The dielectric function ex
A quantitative evaluation method for nonlinear elastic characteristics of piezoelectric materials in high-power operation using constant current (CC) measurements was established. The admittance curves obtained from conventional constant voltage measurements are unsuitable for curve fitting to determine the nonlinear coefficients, due to the hysteresis and jump phenomena in the admittance curve.

At Dagsmosse in south-central Sweden, evidence from well-preserved Mesolithic wetland sites (10,200–7000 cal a BP) demonstrates occupation continuity among Hunter-Gatherer-Fisher (HGF) communities in wetland areas. This study presents detailed environmental reconstructions of the Dagsmosse basin, where Mesolithic fishing and dwelling activities were recorded. Focusing on the Preboreal–Boreal biozo
We previously discovered that high copeptin is associated with incidence of diabetes mellitus (diabetes), abdominal obesity, and albuminuria. Furthermore, copeptin predicts cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction in diabetic patients, but whether it is associated with heart disease and death in individuals without diabetes and prevalent cardiovascular disease is unknown. In this study, w
Based on data searches and life-table analyses, we determined the long-term (remaining lifetime) and short-term (10- and 5-year) absolute risks of hip fracture after sustaining a Colles' or spine fracture and searched for potential gender-related differences. In aging men, Colles' fractures carry a higher absolute risk for hip fracture than spinal fractures in contrast to women. These findings sup
Popular AbstractInformationsteknologins utveckling medför att gränserna mellan data, tele- och mediateknik suddas ut. Kommunikation mellan individer, mellan individer och företag och mellan olika nätverk ger möjlighet att snabbt överföra information och kunskap från en plats till en annan oavsett geografiskt avstånd. Detta innebär att nya arbete och verksamheter skapas i arbetslivet. En del är möjThe purpose of this study is to analyse the situation of living and working for women who are teleworking in their homes. Telework carried out in the home will mean that paid and unpaid work will be done in the same location. When this happens, the division of time and space between paid and unpaid work is no longer self-evident, contraty to what appears to be the case when the workplace and the h
Abstract in Norwegian Dette oplæg handler om moderniseringen af den indledende matematikundervisning ved de videregående uddannelser. Med henblik på diskussionen fremhæves tre teser og tilhørende konkrete eksempler fra et kursus som bud på, hvad ’modernisering’ omfatter og hvordan den kan realiseres. Fokus her er primært på de uddannelser, hvor den indledende matematikundervisning afholdes som sto
Key points IL1RAP is overexpressed on candidate AML stem cells and is a promising target for antibody-based therapy.
The aim of this study is to identify loci associated with circulating levels of Interleukin 8 (IL8). We investigated the associations of 121,445 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the Illumina 200K CardioMetabochip with IL8 levels in 1077 controls from the Stockholm Heart Epidemiology Program (SHEEP) study, using linear regression under an additive model of inheritance. Five SNPs (rs12075
Recently, imbalance in the vasopressin (AVP) system, measured as elevated levels of copeptin (the c-terminal part of the AVP pro-hormone) in plasma, was linked to development of abdominal obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM). Here, we aim to investigate if genetic variation of the human AVP receptor 1b gene (AVPR1B) is associated with measures of obesity and DM.
Objective:We wanted to explore if FTO genotype interacts with fat intake, or leisure-time physical activity, on fat mass, lean mass and mortality.Subjects and methods:Among 22 799 individuals (44-74 years) in the population-based Malmö diet and cancer cohort that were genotyped for rs9939609 in FTO and had information on dietary intake (from a modified diet history method) and no history of diabet
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The T allele of transcription factor 7-like 2 gene variant, TCF7L2 rs7903146, increases the risk of type 2 diabetes by 40-50%. As TCF7L2 rs7903146 has been associated with diminished incretin effect we investigated whether interaction between dietary intake of carbohydrate, fat, protein or fibre and this variant affects the risk of type 2 diabetes. METHODS: A cohort of 24,799
