Background/Aim: The TGF-β pathway can influence breast cancer progression and therapy efficacy, exhibiting both pro- and anti-tumoral effects. This study examined the impact of active TGF-β signaling on recurrence and radiotherapy (RT) benefit in early-stage breast cancer, using nuclear phosphorylated Smad2 (pSMAD2) as a marker for pathway activation. Methods: Tissue-microarrays from 1178 stage I-

This study’s aim is to shed some light on the topic of garden archaeology in Sweden. This is done by introducing the reader to the topic as a whole, with its methods and its history not only in Sweden. Garden Archaeology is a relatively new focus within archaeology and therefor in need of an introduction. The main focus is the concept of ideal versus reality in higher status gardens from the 1

This thesis examines living conditions in Malmö during the 19th-century through the prevalence of stress related changes in an osteological material, in combination with historical archives. With a structural violence framework, the research aims to study health, nutrition, trauma and workload in individuals from the lowest socioeconomic group, soldiers and prisoners. An osteological analysis has

This thesis approaches the cryptoporticus of private roman architecture in the context of the rural villa and urban domus, with the explicit purpose of examining how the functions and roles of this multifaceted structure differs in these settings. In order to accomplish this goal, the thesis employs a comparative methodology where specific attributes of eleven buildings with a cryptoporticus are p

This essay examines how the parish churches of Nättraby and Hjortsberga in central Blekinge changed during the latter part of the 17th century, as well as how the churches’ material properties as standing history were handled by the parishioners. Blekinge became part of Sweden in 1658 and the Swedish crown founded a large naval base in the churches’ vicinity soon after. Both churches went through

This paper attempts to explore the relationship between artefacts, landscape and museums. To do so it aims to identify a method that can be applied to both the museological landscape as well as archeological artifacts. With that information, the aim of this paper is to analyse how norm-creating behavior affects museum visitors' view of the artefacts on display. This paper draws from both well

Background: Management of severe aortic stenosis (AS) has evolved over the past decade, driven by the widespread adoption of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study aims to assess trends in procedural volumes, patient characteristics, and outcomes for patients undergoing TAVI or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in Sweden. Methods: This was a descriptive, non-comparative,

This study investigates how national policies in nine Western Pacific countries—China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Cambodia—promote healthy ageing through multi-sector collaboration. The objective is to identify common patterns and country-specific features in the governance and organization of collaborative efforts. Using comparative case study an

The many challenges of our time call for changes in regional economies, increasingly motivating scholars to dive deep into the mechanisms and possibilities for delivering such change. However, the link between regional change and people’s well-being has often been neglected, assuming that new job opportunities, green industrial path development, or higher-value economic activities are inherently g

Some get lost in translation; Barbara Czarniawska was at home in it. Early in my career, she helped me translate my vague sense that organizational performances were stories into the more precise concept of narratives which, allowed me to connect organizational studies with literary theory. Through her teaching, notably her course <em>From Field to Desk</em>, she guided

A major reason for the great interest in regional industrial path development (RIPD) is the associated hopes for positive regional development outcomes. However, up to now we know surprisingly little about the often mixed economic, social and ecological effects of RIPD for regions. Existing studies on RIPD tend not to link to these outcomes. This special collection aims to improve our understandin

A search for heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos is performed with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, using the (Formula Presented) of proton-proton collision data at (Formula Presented) collected during Run 2. This search targets (Formula Presented) production, in which both top quarks decay into a bottom quark and a (Formula Presented) boson, where one of the (Formula Presen

High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [(Formula presented)]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a ch

Complexity and innovation are emerging as fundamental issues for the future of human life and society. To deal with them, different versions of systems thinking have been proposed. However, System-of-Systems (SoS) thinking, based on the biperspectival principle and human reflexivity, has not yet been clearly recognized. The unclear distinction between ‘systems’ and ‘SoS’ thinking often results in

The paper is a keynote talk, introducing the problem with texts that are not finished - or maybe not even written at all but - but still haunts the imagination of the writer, specifically the creative writing student.
