A 14-gene B-cell immune signature in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) : a pooled analysis of seven studies

Background: Early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) displays clinical and biological diversity. From a biological standpoint, immune infiltration plays a crucial role in TNBC prognosis. Currently, there is a lack of genomic tools aiding in treatment decisions for TNBC. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a B-cell/immunoglobulin signature (IGG) alone, or in combination with tumo

Relationships of change in Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) on patient outcomes and probability of progression : observational analysis

Background: Understanding the relationship among changes in Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), patient outcomes, and probability of progression is crucial for evaluating the long-term benefits of disease-modifying treatments. We examined associations among changes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) stages and outcomes that are important to patients and their care partners including activities of daily livin

Early Holocene vegetation development at Mesolithic fen dwelling sites in Dagsmosse, south-central Sweden, and its implications for understanding environment–human dynamics at various scales

Recent discoveries of several Mesolithic sites within the Dagsmosse Basin, south-central Sweden, offer an opportunity to study the lifestyle and skillsets of Mesolithic hunter-gatherer-fishers operating in wetland environments. In this paper, we present a combined archaeological and palaeoecological analysis of a Mesolithic fenland environment using Repetitive-Proxy Pollen Analysis (RPPA) of early

On the nexus between material and ideological determinants of climate policy support

This study explores how rising economic costs of climate mitigation policies differentially shape climate policy support among the political left and right. To this end, we randomly manipulate how much consumption costs increase as a result of four different climate mitigation policies and study how different cost scenarios influence policy support among a sample of 1,597 Swedish adults. We find t

Motility of an autonomous protein-based artificial motor that operates via a burnt-bridge principle

Inspired by biology, great progress has been made in creating artificial molecular motors. However, the dream of harnessing proteins – the building blocks selected by nature – to design autonomous motors has so far remained elusive. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of the Lawnmower, an autonomous, protein-based artificial molecular motor comprised of a spherical hub decorated with

Part-load thermal efficiency enhancement in gas turbine combined cycles by exhaust gas recirculation

Gas turbine power plants are popular for offshore power generation due to high power density and their reliability. However, growing usage of renewable energies put gas turbines in a load following backup operation. These power plants suffer part-load efficiency losses when operating at less than full capacity, resulting in higher carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from natural gas combined cycles or h

Nano-XRF of lung fibrotic tissue reveals unexplored Ca, Zn, S and Fe metabolism : a novel approach to chronic lung diseases

Synchrotron-radiation nano-X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a cutting-edge technique offering high-resolution insights into the elemental composition of biological tissues, shedding light on metabolic processes and element localization within cellular structures. In the context of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a debilitating lung condition associated with respiratory complications and reduced li

Enhancing Reflexivity in Research and Practice in Healthcare Through Oral-Based Autoethnography

Autoethnography is an increasingly used method to promote individual and group reflexivity in research, not the least in healthcare. However, autoethnography's uptake among practitioners is impeded by the fact that it has not been adequately adapted to practitioner settings from its academic origins. This article analyzes the experience of a research team comprised of practitioners/surgeons and so

Adaptive reinforcement learning for energy management : A progressive approach to boost climate resilience and energy flexibility

Energy management in urban areas is challenging due to diverse energy users, dynamics environmental conditions, and the added complexity and instability of extreme weather events. We incorporate adaptive reinforcement learning (ARL) into energy management (EM) and introduce a novel approach, called ARLEM. An online, value-based, model-free ARL engine is designed that updates its policy periodicall

Practicing degrowth as a business? : Transcending binaries

With the world facing severe ecological degradation, we hear calls for radical change more and more often. One of these calls is for degrowth in materially wealthy nations, including the Nordics. Degrowth fundamentally challenges the modern assumption that economic growth is good for humanity and the planet, and therefore necessitates change in civil society, state and production. In the contempor

Plattformsarbetares multipla otrygghet på arbetsmarknaden - anställningsskydd och sjukersättning i samklang?

Artikeln tar sin utgångspunkt i Inspektionen för socialförsäkringens rapport om utmaningarna som plattformsarbetare möter i socialförsäkringarna och den pågående diskussionen om den särskilda bedömning för behovsanställda som infördes i sjukförsäkringen 1 februari 2022. Artikeln diskuterar vidare den flexibilisering som skett av den svenska arbetsrättsliga modellen och dess konsekvenser i relation

Pathways to Sustainable Welfare : Inertia, Emergence and Transformation in Swedish Cities

Pathways to Sustainable Welfare critically examines how cities can address the dual challenges of climate change and sustainability while ensuring the welfare of their populations.Focused on three Swedish cities, it explores the integration of environmental and welfare concerns in local policies, urban movements and public opinions. Based on theories of inertia, emergence and transformation, it id

Interacting with Monuments : Idolatry, Iconoclasm, Iconoclash

Kapitel om olika förhållningssätt till monument, från bildstormande till ointresse med exempel från skånska statydebatter under det senaste årtiondet.Chapter on different approaches to monuments, from iconoclasm to disinterested, with examples from Scanian statue debates over the past decade.
