The evolution of early symbolic behavior in Homo sapiens

How did human symbolic behavior evolve? Dating up to about 100,000 y ago, the engraved ochre and ostrich eggshell fragments from the South African Blombos Cave and Diepkloof Rock Shelter provide a unique window into presumed early symbolic traditions of Homo sapiens and how they evolved over a period of more than 30,000 y. Using the engravings as stimuli, we report five experiments which suggest t

Analysis of DNA methylation patterns in the tumor immune microenvironment of metastatic melanoma

The presence of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment has been associated with response to immunotherapies across several cancer types, including melanoma. Despite its therapeutic relevance, characterization of the melanoma immune microenvironments remains insufficiently explored. To distinguish the immune microenvironment in a cohort of 180 metastatic melanoma clinical specimens, we develope

Familial malignant blood disease in the county of Jämtland, Sweden

In a material of 942 patients with malignant hematological disease, encompassing all diagnosed cases in the county of Jämtland in Sweden during a 22‐yr period, 36 families with multiple cases of such disease were found. Approximately 5% of the patients have at least one close relative who also suffers from a malignant hematological disease. An especially strong familial occurrence was found in the

Different domains of self-reported physical activity and risk of type 2 diabetes in a population-based Swedish cohort : the Malmö diet and Cancer study

BACKGROUND: While a dose-response relationship between physical activity and risk of diabetes has been demonstrated, few studies have assessed the relative importance of different measures of physical activity on diabetes risk. The aim was to examine the association between different self-reported measures of physical activity and risk of type 2 diabetes in a prospective cohort study. METHODS: Out

Brottmekaniska processer ar något som intresserat människor i alla tider. Ibland har det varit för att vinna en fördel t ex vid tillverking av flintverktyg och malmbrytning, men oftast for att förhindra mekanisk kollaps. I det senare fallet kan oförsiktighet resultera i spruckna tallrikar eller trasiga fönster, men ocksa i allvarligare saker som brott i flygplansvingar eller fartygsskrov som i värBrottmekaniska processer ar något som intresserat människor i alla tider.

Towards sustainability with building services systems : – by focusing on material choices, energy use and thermal indoor climates in residential buildings

För att en utveckling ska anses hållbar måste mål ur såväl sociala, ekonomiska som miljömässiga aspekter vara uppfyllda. Det svenska miljömålssystemet, baserat på Agenda 2030, innehåller 16 miljökvalitetsmål och ett antal etappmål. För genomförande och uppföljning ansvarar åtta myndigheter, av vilka Boverket har ansvar för målet ”En god bebyggd miljö”. Faktorer som har valts att studera är inomhusFor a development to be considered sustainable, social, economic and environmental requirements must be met. The Swedish sustainable development goals, based on Agenda 2030, contain 16 national environmental quality goals. The National Board of Housing, Building and Planning is responsible for achieving the goal "A good built environment". Essential factors chosen for studies are: indoor environme

Exceptions, limitations and collective management of rights as vehicles for access to information

Copyright law reflects a balance between the competing interests of protection and access. It is often held that this balance has been disturbed by recent technological and related legal developments. This article describes and compares two vehicles to enhance access to information in the online environment, while also taking into account the interest of protection: (i) the introduction of (broade

Cross-Border Extended Collective Licensing : A Solution to Online Dissemination of Europe’s Cultural Heritage

The ever increasing use of the Internet and of digitisation technologies have opened up new possibilities for distributing and accessing creative content online, including for cultural heritage institutions. However, the digitisation and dissemination of a substantial proportion of the collections held by European cultural institutions may be considerably hindered due to high transaction costs rel
