The cultivation of ethnographic discovery is not only about being insightful in the field by paying attention to unexpected events and unforeseen social processes. We should also search for potentially surprising or disturbing findings after the fieldwork. This can provide additional ways to create an original and sustainable understanding of research material. In this chapter, we discuss a study

All the cells of the individuals with phenotypes "p" y "Pk" lack the glucidic antigens of "public" blood groups. These subjects form natural and regular antibodies against the missing structures (anti-P, anti-PP1 y anti-PP1Pk) that agglutínate or hemolyze the red-blood cells of every individual, excepting those with the same phenotype. Due to the exceptional character of these pictures (a few indi

Objective: For patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, a procedure requiring complex urinary tract reconstruction prone to major postoperative complications, the timing and quality of the surgery have been associated with outcomes. Patients and methods: This study investigated if radical cystectomy for bladder cancer performed during holiday periods had worse disease-specific (D

AIMS: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common and severe complication to type 2 diabetes (T2D). The pathogenesis of DPN is not fully known, but several pathways and gene polymorphisms contributing to DPN are described. DPN can be studied using nerve biopsies, but studies on the proteome of the nerve itself, and its surrounding tissue as a whole, are lacking. Studies on the posterior inter

Adolescence (10–19 years) is marked by many physiological changes and is vulnerable to health and nutritional problems. Adolescence, particularly, early adolescence is inadequately addressed in our national surveys. The present study aimed to assess the reproductive health awareness, nutrition, and hygiene of marginalized adolescent girls and boys and compare them among early and late adolescents.

Cytochrome c oxidase in the respiratory chain of bacteria and mitochondria couples the reduction of molecular oxygen to form water with the generation of a transmembrane proton gradient. Bacillus subtilis has two heme A-containing heme–copper oxidases: the menaquinol oxidase cytochrome aa3 and the cytochrome c oxidase cytochrome caa3. By screening three collections of mutants for defective cytochr

Irans nye president har starka kopplingar till landets högste ledare Ali Khamenei, och Iran kommer att fortsätta på den inslagna vägen av diktatur och förtryck, hävdar debattörerna Arvin och Ardavan Khoshnood i en analys av den nye presidenten och Irans framtid under honom.Iran’s new president has strong ties to the country’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, and Iran will continue on the path of dictatorship and oppression, argue debaters Arvin and Ardavan Khoshnood in an analysis of the new president and Iran’s future under him.

Evidence associates cardiovascular risk factors with unfavorable systemic and neuro-inflammation and cognitive decline in the elderly. Cardiovascular therapeutics (e.g., statins and anti-hypertensives) possess immune-modulatory functions in parallel to their cholesterol- or blood pressure (BP)-lowering properties. How their ability to modify immune responses affects cognitive function is unknown.

Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) pose a great threat to human health due to their ability to bypass antigen presentation and activate large amounts of conventional T cells resulting in a cytokine storm potentially leading to toxic shock syndrome. Unconventional T- and NK cells are also activated by SE but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, the authors aimed to explore the unde

Introduction and abstract Government and Binding theory (Chomsky 1981, Sells 1985) plays a dominant role in current linguistics and is an almost compulsory part of the linguistics curriculum at universities. The advantage of GB is its rigorous theory, allowing only certain simple trees and transformations, supple-mented by certain simple principles and constraints. The GB approach makes it possibl

Background In Scandinavia, people with a severe mental disorder have a reduced life expectancy of 15-20 years compared with the general public. Smoking is a major contributor, and smoke-free policies are increasingly adopted in psychiatric clinics around the world. We compared potential facilitators and barriers among staff and management, for the implementation of smoke-free psychiatric clinics.

Lignin is one of the main components of plant cell walls, which provides mechanical support for plants and also contributes to resisting against plant pathogenic fungi. In the fruit industry, the lignin content can affect the quality of fruit. The biosynthesis of lignin involves a variety of enzymes, of which caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) is a class of methyltransferases that plays

We prove quantitative, matrix weighted, endpoint estimates for the matrix weighted Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator, Calderon-Zygmund operators, and commutators of CZOs with scalar BMO functions, when the matrix weight is in the class A1 introduced by M. Frazier and S. Roudenko. Even in the scalar case, our estimates are sharper than the results implicit in the literature.

Epidemiological aspects of explosion-related deaths in a civilian setting may bring comprehensive knowledge that isimportant for prevention efforts. This Swedish national study aimed to describe the extent of such deaths, circumstancesand fatal injuries. Data, including all explosion-related deaths in Sweden from 2000 through 2018, were retrieved from theregister of the National Board of Forensic
