Genetic factors affect the susceptibility to bacterial infections in diabetes

Diabetes increases the risk of bacterial infections. We investigated whether common genetic variants associate with infection susceptibility in Finnish diabetic individuals. We performed genome-wide association studies and pathway analysis for bacterial infection frequency in Finnish adult diabetic individuals (FinnDiane Study; N = 5092, Diabetes Registry Vaasa; N = 4247) using national register d

Spin propensity in resonant photoemission of transition metal complexes

Resonant photoelectron spectroscopy (RPES) has been used to probe electronic structure properties of the closed-shell [FeII(CN)6]4− and open-shell [FeIII(CN)6]3− prototype transition metal complexes in aqueous solution. Site-selective Fe 2p (L-edge) RPES mapsprovide new insight into spin-coupling processes at the core-excited metal centers, with autoionization of [FeIII(CN)6]3− showing a dramatic

Om reformers karaktär : On the character of reforms

The ambition in this article is to present a scheme designed to facilitate an elementary analysis of political reforms. The scheme is based on six questions: Public interest or special interests? Stability or flexibility? With or against the market? Confirmation or initiation? Long or short sight? Intended or unintended consequences? There are other questions to keep in mind when evaluating reform

Design study of a nanowire three-terminal heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell

We present an optical design study on a nanowire heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell. The simple structure of this novel architecture of double-junction solar cell, allows for independent power extraction from the two junctions and makes the nanowire growth easier than in current-matched double-junction solar cells as there is no need for tunnel junctions and only three main semiconductor

Gaia Early Data Release 3 : Updated radial velocities from Gaia DR2

Context. Gaia's Early Third Data Release (EDR3) does not contain new radial velocities because these will be published in Gaia's full third data release (DR3), expected in the first half of 2022. To maximise the usefulness of EDR3, Gaia's second data release (DR2) sources (with radial velocities) are matched to EDR3 sources to allow their DR2 radial velocities to also be included in EDR3. This pre

Heraldik som historisk och genealogisk hjälpvetenskap

Historiska hjälpvetenskaper bidrar till källkritik och förståelse i historisk analys. Heraldiken och genealogin är hjälpvetenskaper till historievetenskapen, men de är också hjälpvetenskaper till varandra. I denna artikel behandlas hur heraldiken kan vara en användbar hjälpvetenskap för släktforskaren. Heraldiken kan bidra till att besvara frågor om vem som utfärdade ett dokument där det finns ett

Anaphora (e62)

Anaphora is a study of 56 classes of vocal multiphonics that explore voiced & voiced; voiced & unvoiced; unvoiced & unvoiced, and; three or more sources. Anaphora was written for the singer Rebekka Uhlig.

Experimental and shell-model study of excited states in 55Fe29 and related notes on 55Cu26

The fusion-evaporation reaction 32S+28Si at 125-MeV beam energy was used to populate excited states in 55Fe. Combining the Gammasphere spectrometer with ancillary devices including the Microball CsI(Tl) array and a shell of neutron detectors, a comprehensive level scheme could be derived. The experimental results are compared with theoretical results from shell-model calculations. Taking into acco

Exercise therapy for whiplash-associated disorders : A systematic review and meta-analysis

Acute as well as chronic pain syndromes are common after whiplash trauma and exercise therapy is proposed as one possible intervention strategy. The aim of the present systematic review was to evaluate the effect of exercise therapy in patients with Whiplash-Associated Disorders for the improvement of neck pain and neck disability, compared with other therapeutic interventions, placebo interventio

Early life factors in relation to albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C and creatinine in adults from a Swedish population-based cohort study

BackgroundEarly life factors influence the number of nephrons a person starts life with and a consequence of that is believed to be premature kidney ageing. Thus, we aimed to identify early life factors associated with cystatin C and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) rate equations and urine -albumin-to-creatinine ratio after a follow-up of 46–67 years.MethodsThe study includ

Stories of achievements : Narrative features of organizational performance

Performance is the yardstick by which the quality of individual and collective human effort is assessed. Everywhere, performance shapes the lives of people and organizations according to its logic and demands. The quest for performance has spread to societies worldwide; it has become of central importance for our perception of our activities and our understanding of the world. Such importance call

How the Fantastic Spaces in Memoirs of a Survivor and Neverwhere Destabilise the Notion of a Uniform, Homogeneous Urban Identity

This article discusses how Doris Lessing’s Memoirs of a Survivor and Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere question notions of self and identity through engagement with the fantastic urban space. Through the examination of the cityscape, maturity, and reconciliation the fantastic space is seen to have a disruptive and destabilising effect on the narrative and on the characters, which ultimately encourages a re

Steps and catalytic reactions : CO oxidation with preadsorbed O on Rh(553)

Industrial catalysts are often comprised of nanoparticles supported on high-surface-area oxides, in order to maximise the catalytically active surface area and thereby utilise the active material better. These nanoparticles expose steps and corners that, due to low coordination to neighboring atoms, are more reactive and, as a consequence, are often assumed to have higher catalytic activity. We ha

Cognitive interference processing in adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia using functional magnetic resonance imaging

Background: Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is associated with cognitive impairment in adulthood. Cognitive interference processing and its correlated functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activity in the brain have not yet been studied in this patient group.Material: Twenty-six adult childhood ALL survivors (median [interquartile range {IQR}] age, 40.0 [37.0-42.3] years) were

Integrity Assessment of Isolated Plant Mitochondria

The integrity of isolated mitochondria can be estimated functionally using enzymatic activities or the permeability of mitochondrial membranes to molecules of different sizes. Thus, the permeability of the outer membrane to the protein cytochrome c, the permeability of the inner membrane to protons, and the permeability of the inner membrane to NAD+, NADH and organic acids using soluble matrix deh
