Innovation has received widespread attention in research and in the business world because it plays a crucial role in organization survival and longevity. This especially rings true in the retail industry, as opportunities and challenges confront retailers due to the ongoing disruption of the industry. As retailers face increasing pressure to make innovation a strategic priority, and as major reta

Primary debulking surgery (PDS) followed by platinum-based postoperative chemotherapy isthe standard of care for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC). Absence of macroscopic residualdisease after debulking surgery is the strongest prognostic factor achieved by surgery. Correctcharacterization of the tumor specimen and tumor spread in combination with patient’scharacteristics such as age, comorbidity, and

Detta kapitel handlar om samverkan mellan sektorer och organisationer som en metod för social förändring. Vi vill med detta kapitel både beskriva en särskild metod för samverkan och reflektera över dess möjligheter och utmaningar. Metoden har utvecklats av Sensus studieförbund (Region Skåne-Blekinge) som är en av de stora organisationer som driver folkbildning i Sverige idag. Utgångspunkten för me

The aims of the study were 1). to investigate the association between the potential risk factors including socio-demographic, lifestyle and DNA methylation and mental disorders in middle-aged women from a large population-based follow-up study, and 2). to estimate the risk score by combining the potential risk factors to examine the mental disorder's incidence. A total of 6461 women, aged 50-65 ye

This chapter takes as its starting point theorizing around nutrition and food system transitions thought to be increasingly occurring in urban Africa, and how this may be linked to a growing non-communicable disease burden. We focus specifically on the secondary city context by analysing household survey data gathered from six cities across Ghana, Kenya and Uganda during 2013–2015. We asked how di

Sverige har kollektiva tvingande avtal på både bostads- och arbetsmarknaden. Därmed är den individuella friheten hårt beskuren vilket är hämmande för vårt välstånd på sikt.

Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have become the dominant approach for envisioning different mitigation scenarios. While they are not intended to deal with justice, IAM assumptions and structure have justice implications that have not been explicitly discussed or clearly elucidated in critical accounts of modelling practices. Given their key influence in policy decisions and the increasing impe

När Martin Linder argumenterar för kollektivavtal påminner det om Storebrors propagandafraser i George Orwells bok 1984: ”frihet är slaveri”, det vill säga frihet är tvång. Det skriver Lars Jonung i en slutreplik.

AIMS: Synthetic glucocorticoids, including dexamethasone (DEX), are clinically prescribed due to their immunoregulatory properties. In excess they can perturb glucose homeostasis, with individuals predisposed to glucose intolerance more sensitive to these negative effects. While DEX is known to negatively impact β-cell function, it is unclear how. Hence, our aim was to investigate the effect of DE

Most natural antisense RNAs display a high degree ofsecondary structure with stem-loops as their mostprominent feature. Mutations affecting the Inhibitoryactivity of these RNAs most often map in or close toloop regions in both the antisense and target RNAs.The primary recognition loops often contain 5- 7unpaired nucleotldes. Nucleotide changes in the loopsaffect the binding rate and, hence, the in
