This chapter looks at the DMA through the prism of pre-emption and the relationship between EU and national law. It explains the fundamentals of pre-emption in EU law and shows the consequences for the DMA and national rules that are to ensure fairness in the digital market space. It argues that fairness in the digital market with regard to business users and consumers has been exhaustively regula

BACKGROUND: ATOR-1017 (evunzekibart) is a human agonistic immunoglobulin G4 antibody targeting the costimulatory receptor 4-1BB (CD137). ATOR-1017 activates T cells and natural killer cells in the tumor environment, leading to immune-mediated tumor cell death.METHODS: In this first-in-human, multicenter, phase I study, ATOR-1017 was administered intravenously every 21 days as a monotherapy to pati

Many studies have underscored the impacts of drought on ecosystems, and some researchers reported the effects of accumulated soil moisture deficit (ASMD) on light use efficiency (LUE) in grassland. However, the potential effects of ASMD on gross primary productivity (GPP) and LUE for both cropland and forest ecosystems are still not understood. This study elucidated the effects of accumulated and

There is a need to develop innovative cheese processes to meet consumer demands and improve production efficiency. In this study, rennet skimmed milk curds (SMC), and butter were emulsified using a thermo-mechanical process at temperatures between 70 and 90 °C. The composition, rheological properties, and microstructure of the emulsion gels were analysed up to 2 weeks of storage. Confocal laser sc

Aims: Reirradiation is becoming more frequently used in paediatric tumours of the central nervous system (CNS). To fill the void of clinical guidelines, the Swedish Working Group of Paediatric Radiotherapy compiled consensus guidelines on reirradiation in 2019. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of children reirradiated for CNS tumours since implementing the guidelines. Material and

Changing natural organic matter quality from anthropogenic activity and stricter requirements for micropollutant removal challenges existing systems for drinking water production. Ozonation of water followed by biofiltration, such as passage through a slow sand filter (SSF), is a partial solution. Biofiltration relies on biofilms (microbial communities within extracellular matrices). However, the

Background: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guides deferral decision-making regarding the left main coronary artery (LMCA) and improves outcomes. Further studies regarding coronary physiology to guide revascularization in the LMCA are needed. Our aim was to evaluate the outcome of LMCA deferral using IVUS or coronary physiology via instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) or fractional flow reserve (FF

This study analyses how the standard of living for different social groups changed when Sweden developed from an agricultural to an industrial society and when the first steps towards a modern welfare society were taken. As a measure of living standards, we use the ability to overcome short-term economic stress caused by high food prices. We use individual-level longitudinal data from 1813 to 1967

One of the most explored MXenes is Ti3C2Tx, where Tx is designated to inherently form termination species. Among many applications, Ti3C2Tx is a promising material for energy storage, energy conversion, and CO2-capturing devices. However, active sites for adsorption and surface reactions on the Ti3C2Tx-surface are still open questions to explore, which have implications for preparation methods whe

Background: Metabolic reprogramming, particularly glycolysis, is essential in processes like cancer and immune response. While FGF21's role in hepatocyte glucose metabolism has been linked to glucose transporters and its impact on aerobic glycolysis and cellular growth in HCC remain unclear. In this study, we investigated FGF21-mediated modulation of glucose metabolism in HCC through mTOR and HIF1

We study the problem of computing the Voronoi diagram of a set of.n2 points with.O(log n)-bit coordinates in the Euclidean plane in a substantiallysublinear in . n number of rounds in the congested clique model with . n nodes.Recently, Jansson et al. have shown that if the points are uniformly at random distributed in a unit square then their Voronoi diagram within the square can be computed in.O(

BackgroundPolypharmacy has been linked with social isolation and loneliness among older people. The roles of different medication groups to this association are unclear. The aim of this study was to examine associations of fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs) and cardiovascular drugs with loneliness and social isolation.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 6714 adults aged 60 years and above l

Introduction: Sentinel vessels provide an important early indication of underlying ocular neoplasm. To date, there is no noninvasive technique available for imaging and mapping of their vascular supply, which remains largely unstudied. We aimed to map sentinel vessels in uveal melanomas noninvasively by laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI). Case Presentations: This report describes a case series

We study the economic integration of immigrants from Ottoman Syria and Turkey and their offspring in the United States using full count census data from 1900 to 1940. Immigrants initially achieved occupational premiums due to their selection into high-reward industries, but 1940 earnings data reveals significant and growing disadvantages over time, partly due to lower educational attainment. In co

OBJECTIVE: We report the preliminary baseline characteristics in the ongoing phase 3 evoke and evoke+ trials investigating the safety and efficacy of oral semaglutide for early AD.BACKGROUND: Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), is approved for use in type 2 diabetes (T2D) or obesity.DESIGN/METHODS: evoke (NCT04777396) and evoke+ (NCT04777409) are multicenter, randomi

Transmissibility has increased during the evolution of SARS-CoV-2, possibly by improved airborne transmission. An increased transmission was noted also in many hospitals. We analyzed SARS-CoV-2 in room air of hospitalized Omicron infected patients and compared results with previous findings with pre-Delta variants to study if SARS-CoV-2 was more prevalent in patient rooms after the introduction of

This thesis examines the behavior of a single-qubit quantum system controlled by feedback. Key parameters such as coupling strength, dissipation, and detuning are explored to improve quantum coherence and stability. Based on the results, practical methods for controlling quantum systems are proposed to better understand quantum control techniques and then improve the performance and stability of q
