Sustainable entrepreneurship education in circular entrepreneurship ecosystem
In this chapter, we explore the integration of sustainable entrepreneurship education in the context of circular entrepreneurship ecosystems, highlighting the necessity of shifting from traditional profit-centric models towards ones that emphasise sustainability and circular economy principles. We critique current educational practices for overlooking environmental and ethical considerations and a

Who's the real feminist? : Discursive boundary making in the context of anti-gender campaigns
In recent years, there has been a wave of opposition to feminism, gender equality, and minority rights in various national and international contexts. While there is a growing number of works that examine anti-gender campaigns, less attention has been devoted to the potential consequences of the anti-gender mobilizations for the internal relations within socially progressive (feminist and LGBTQ+)
Intra-Company Transfers: A European Perspective
Tipping point in α-synuclein-membrane interactions from stable protein-covered vesicles to amyloid aggregation
α-synuclein is a neuronal protein implicated in neurotransmitter release. Its function is thought to critically depend on the dynamic equilibrium between its free and its membrane-bound state. α-synuclein amyloid formation, implicated in Parkinson's disease, is also modulated by lipid membranes. The interplay between these processes remains elusive yet relates to the outstanding question of what d
Risk of neurologic events after surgery for mitral valve insufficiency and concomitant Cox-maze IV procedure for atrial fibrillation. A nationwide register-based study
OBJECTIVES: Analysis of the long-term risks of ischaemic stroke and cerebral bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation after mitral valve surgery and concomitant Cox-maze IV procedure. METHODS: In total, 397 patients with symptomatic degenerative mitral valve insuffciency and atrial fibrillation, underwent mitral valve surgery and Cox-maze IV in Sweden between 2009 and 2017. In this retrospect
In vivo evaluation of 177Lu-labeled h11B6, a humanized antibody for hK2 targeting in prostate cancer
Preclinical radioimmunotherapy of prostate cancer with 177Lu-11B6, a 177Lu-labeled monoclonal antibody specifically targeting free, unbound human kallikrein-related peptidase 2
Cycled light in the intensive care unit for preterm and low birth weight infants
Background: Preterm and low birth weight infants are at an early stage of development, and do not receive adequate maternal circadian signals. They are often cared for over prolonged periods of hospitalisation in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), where environmental circadian stimuli are lacking. Exposure to artificial light–dark cycles may stimulate the development of the circadian system and
Radioimmunoimaging and Radioimmunotherapy of Prostate Cancer. Preclinical evaluation of kallikrein related peptidase 2 targeting
Combining optical Cherenkov luminescence imaging and SPECT for intratherapy dosimetry in preclinical radionuclide therapy
A weighted average limited information maximum likelihood estimator
In this article, a Stein-type weighted limited information maximum likelihood (LIML) estimator is proposed. It is based on a weighted average of the ordinary least squares (OLS) and LIML estimators, with weights inversely proportional to the Hausman test statistic. The asymptotic distribution of the proposed estimator is derived by means of local-to-exogenous asymptotic theory. In addition, the as
LASSO-type instrumental variable selection methods with an application to Mendelian randomization
Valid instrumental variables (IVs) must not directly impact the outcome variable and must also be uncorrelated with nonmeasured variables. However, in practice, IVs are likely to be invalid. The existing methods can lead to large bias relative to standard errors in situations with many weak and invalid instruments. In this paper, we derive a LASSO procedure for the k-class IV estimation methods in
On Some Weighted Mixed Ridge Regression Estimators : Theory, Simulation and Application
Comparisons among some new types of weighted mixed regression estimators for the linear regression model under the stochastic linear restrictions have been made in this paper. The mean squared error criterion is used to examine the superiority of different weighted mixed regression estimators. A Monte Carlo simulation study and real-life application are carried out to compare the performance of th
Drug-Coated Balloons Versus Drug-Eluting Stents or Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty : A Long-Term in-Stent Restenosis Study
BACKGROUND: Balloon angioplasty with drug-coated balloons (DCBs) is frequently used during percutaneous coronary intervention for in-stent restenosis. Despite its frequent use, there is a lack of long-term data on the efficacy of DCB angioplasty. We conducted an investigation on the long-term efficacy outcome of in-stent restenosis, comparing DCBs, drug-eluting stents, and plain old balloon angiop
Nadph-oxidase, rho-kinase and autophagy mediate the (Pro)renin-induced pro-inflammatory microglial response and enhancement of dopaminergic neuron death
Dysregulation of the tissue renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in tissue oxidative and inflammatory responses. Among RAS components, renin, its precursor (pro)renin and its specific receptor (PRR) have been less investigated, particularly in the brain. We previously showed the presence of PRR in neurons and glial cells in the nigrostriatal system of rodents and primates, including humans.
