Gendering violence in the school shootings in Finland

Within barely a year, two school shootings shook Finland. The school shootings shocked Finnish society, forcing media, academics and experts, police and politicians alike to search for reasons behind the violent incidents. Focusing their analysis on the two main Finnish newspapers, Helsingin Sanomat and Hufvudstadsbladet, authoritative sources of information for Finland's two language communities,

Exploring past achievements in last mile logistics research : A literature review

PurposeThis paper aims to consolidate the knowledge in last mile logistics research, analyze the development of the research area, and provide future research directions.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review identified 154 peer-reviewed journal publications from 2001 to 2019 in 83 scientific journals contributing to last mile logistics research.FindingsMain topics in last mile

Evaluation of spectral induced polarization field measurements in time and frequency domain

Spectral induced polarization (SIP) measurements have been demonstrated to correlate with important parame-ters in hydrogeological and environmental investigations. Although SIP measurements were often collected in thefrequency domain (FDIP), recent developments have demonstrated the capabilities to solve for the frequency-de-pendence of the complex conductivity through measurements collected in t

IP lab measurements on E. coli-sand-mixtures

Aim of the MIRACHL project is the characterisation and monitoring of in-situ remediation of chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination using an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, geophysical methods, as e.g. DCIP are used to investigate the remediation process.To interpret these geophysical field IP data, lab investigations with different kinds of bacteria are necessary to assess the sensitivity of

Induced Polarisation (IP) laboratory measurements on E. coli sand mixtures

The aim of the MIRACHL project is the characterisation and monitoring of insituremediation of chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination using an interdisciplinary approach and geophysical methods, such as DCIP (direct current induced polarisation) to investigate the remediation process.To interpret these geophysical field IP data, lab investigations with different kinds of bacteria are necessary to as

PKC activation sensitizes basal-like breast cancer cell lines to Smac mimetics

There is a need for novel strategies to initiate cancer cell death. One approach is the use of Smac mimetics, which antagonize inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). Recent studies have shown that combinations of Smac mimetics such as LBW242 or LCL161 in combination with chemotherapeutic agents increase cancer cell death. Here we show that the protein kinase C (PKC) activator TPA together with th

Evidence of household transfer of ESBL-/pAmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae between humans and dogs - a pilot study

BACKGROUND: Extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (ESCRE) are an increasing healthcare problem in both human and veterinary medicine. The spread of ESCRE is complex with multiple reservoirs and different transmission routes. The aim of this study was to investigate if ESCRE carriage in dogs is more prevalent in households with a known human carrier, compared to households wh

Postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, and trigeminal neuralgia - Chronic peripheral neuropathic pain in 58,480 rural Italian primary care patients

INTRODUCTION: Chronic peripheral neuropathic pain (CPNP) is a condition due to peripheral nervous system diseases or injury, but its prevalence is unknown in Italian primary care.AIM: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of CPNP in a rural primary care area in Northern Italy.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A multicenter audit study was carried out in a rural area in Northern Italy with 113 par

Periprosthetic low-grade hip infections. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein in 23 cases

We followed 23 patients from the primary total hip arthroplasty to revision for a bacteriologically proven deep infection with a low virulent organism. The median time to revision was 14 (4-65) months. During this period, the maximum ESR value was median 50 (22-110) mm and the maximum CRP value was 35 (9-95) mg/L. 25 of the 98 CRP values recorded were normal (< 9 mg/L) and 22/89 ESR values were be

Higher levels of serum zonulin may rather be associated with increased risk of obesity and hyperlipidemia, than wih gastrointestinal symptoms or disease manifestaiton

Zonulin is considered a biomarker of increased intestinal permeability, and elevated levels have been found in celiac disease. The primary aim of this study was to examine the association between serum zonulin levels and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, and secondarily, between zonulin levels and anthropometric and metabolic factors. The offspring (n = 363) of the participants of the Malmö Diet and

Self-aligned gate-last surface channel In0.53Ga0.47As MOSFET with selectively regrown source and drain contact layers

III-V MOSFETs are currently being considered as a candidate for future high performance transistors [1]. In particular, In1-xGaxAs compounds are investigated for application in digital logic due to their advantageous electronic properties [2]. III-V technologies may be introduced beyond the 22 nm node, which will require a self aligned III/V device architecture as well as integration of high-¿ gat
