The new local interstellar spectra and their influence on the production rates of the cosmogenic radionuclides 10Be and 14C

With Voyager1 crossing the outer boundary of our solar system at the end of 2012, for the first time in the instrumental era an unmodulated local interstellar spectrum (LIS) at galactic particle energies below ~500 MeV has been measured. On the basis of these as well as Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics (PAMELA) and Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS02) measurem

A Selective Biomarker Panel Increases the Reproducibility and the Accuracy in Endometrial Biopsy Diagnosis

Grading and histologic typing of endometrial cancer in biopsy material has a direct impact on the decision to perform lymphadenectomy and/or omentectomy in many cancer centers. Endometrial biopsies are among the most common general surgical pathology specimens. Multiple studies have shown that biopsy diagnosis suffers from a lack of reproducibility. Although many biomarkers have been proposed, non

Relationship between tumour size and outcome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Background: The size of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at diagnosis is an indicator of outcome. Previous studies have focused mostly on patients with resectable disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between tumour size and risk of metastasis and death in a large PDAC cohort, including all stages. Methods: Patients diagnosed with PDAC between 1988 and 2013 were

The Performative, Sensory, and Embodied Experiences of Heritage: Spatial Changes and Heritage Construction in Rural and Urban China

This paper is inspired by recent literature that emphasise the performative, sensory, and embodied experiences of heritage practices, as well as by the recent “spatial” turn in China studies. Both rural and urban China has undergone dramatic spatial changes since 1949 that at first were brought about by ideological and political movements and later by market economic reforms. These changes have de

The Evolving Heritagescape: Actors and Narratives in Xinye village

The threat to the rural heritage has since the 1990s become a concern for Chinesescholars and heritage experts. Today many individual buildings and whole villageshave been listed as protected sites at different levels. But long before experts began totake an interest, villagers were themselves actively involved in protecting their owntraditions and the buildings of importance to the community (in

Heritage’s place: Heritage and narratives in city promotional films and independent documentary films in Beijing and Shanghai

This paper looks at the place of heritage in city branding in China and the different discourses and narratives found in city promotional films and independent documentary films. A city’s character is shaped by its history. All the different cultural, social and historical events that have taken place in the city inform its identity and urban form, as manifested in monuments and buildings from dif

Psychiatric diagnoses in older people with intellectual disability in comparison with the general population a register study

AIMS: To describe the occurrence of psychiatric diagnoses in a specialist care setting in older people with intellectual disability (ID) in relation to those found in the same age group in the general population.METHOD: A cohort of people with ID (n = 7936), aged 55 years or more in 2012, was identified, as was an age and sex-matched cohort from the general population (n = 7936). Information regar

Competence and confusion : How stereotype threat can make you a bad judge of your competence

Women tend to have competence doubts for masculine-stereotyped domains (e.g., math), whereas men tend to think they can handle both feminine-stereotyped and masculine-stereotyped domains equally well. We suggest that perhaps women's more frequent experience with stereotype threat can partly explain why. Our results showed that when stereotype threat was primed in high school students (n = 244), th

Effects of caffeine abstinence on adenosine induced coronary flow reserve quantified on phase contrast velocity encoded MRI of the coronary sinus

Introduction: Adenosine is a common pharmacological vasodilator agent used in first pass perfusion MRI as well as nuclear cardiology and echocardiography. Coronary flow reserve (CFR) by adenosine is inhibited by caffeine and therefore caffeine abstinence is routinely proscribed in patients. However, the guidelines differ regarding how long abstinence is needed from 12 to 24 hours. Purpose: This st

Experimental evidence for the 8B ground state configuration

The 7Be fragments produced in one-proton removal from relativistic 8B nuclei of 936 MeV/nucleon in a carbon target have been detected in coincidence with γ rays emitted by these fragments at the reaction target. It is found that 13 ± 3% of the 7Be fragments are released in the 429 keV excited state, 7Be*, which gives direct experimental information on the ground state configuration of 8B. The long

The Gray Zone : Questionable Research Practices in the Business School

In recent years, the awareness of academic misconduct has increased due to high-profile scandals involving prominent researchers and a spike in journal retractions. But such examples of fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism (FFP) serve to obscure the less flagrant, more subtle cases of possible misconduct: what some have called “questionable research practices” (QRPs). Where FFP is seen as in
