Massive multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) systems are crucial for enhancing spectral efficiency and link reliability in next-generation wireless communications. However, high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) remains a significant challenge, leading to power inefficiencies and signal distortion. This paper presents a low complexity method for PAPR reduction using hard clipping tailored for f

Background: Infections trigger complex immune responses, with conserved as well as disease-specific characteristics. Methods: Proteomic screening technology and gene expression analysis were used here to define the immune response in infants, with their first episode of febrile urinary tract infection. Urine and peripheral blood samples were obtained at enrollment and at follow-up, after 6 months.

This study examines the current e-learning implementation in Tanzanian universities, highlighting the challenges and opportunities associated with its utilisation. Data was collected from 610 respondents, including e-learning support staff, lecturers, and students from five selected universities through questionnaires and interviews. The findings reveal that universities in Tanzania still face imp

Background: The Earth Hologenome Initiative (EHI) is a global endeavor dedicated to revisit fundamental ecological and evolutionary questions from the systemic host–microbiota perspective, through the standardized generation and analysis of joint animal genomic and associated microbial metagenomic data. Results: The first data release of the EHI contains 968 shotgun DNA sequencing read files conta

Purpose: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscle strength are associated with cancer risk/mortality in adults. However, there is yet no evidence for pediatric tumors. This study investigated the association of CRF and muscle strength with several tumor-related phenotypes in an aggressive childhood malignancy, high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB). Methods: Twelve mice bearing orthotopic HR-NB were st

Background: The cold-shock domain protein YB-1 is overexpressed in pleural mesothelioma (PM) and was shown to contribute to increased cell migration and platinum resistance. Methods: Phosphorylation of YB-1 at position serine 102 was analysed by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and immunoblotting in PM tissue specimens and cell lines. Intracellular localisation experiments involved immunob

Background: The increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) associated with family history of both colorectal in situ or invasive carcinomas (Stage 0 to IV) and colorectal polyps is attributed solely to family history of CRC, resulting in an underestimation of the actual risk. We aimed to assess the association between overall and early-onset CRC (EOCRC) risk and family history of both colorectal ca

The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) is composed of peripheral and integral membrane proteins at the muscle cell membrane that link the extracellular matrix with the intracellular cytoskeleton. While it is well established that genetic mutations that disrupt the structural integrity of the DGC result in numerous muscular dystrophies, the 3D structure of the complex has remained elusive. Two r

As the total cost of renewable electricity falls lower than the price of fossil fuel, not only can electricity be used to replace fossil fuels using batteries in vehicles but it can also be used to produce fuels. This makes it possible to replace fuels in sectors not easily directly electrified. It also provides new ways of balancing the electricity system. When renewable electricity is cheap a lo

This chapter critically examines a number of ethical dilemmas at stake for professionals working with refugee children and families in Denmark within the field of early childhood education. While national guidelines promote diversity by framing cultural differences as valuable resources, integration policies often result in efforts aimed at assimilation. The chapter explores how everyday ethical j

This article examines, firstly, how legal and safe pathways, in particular resettlement and humanitarian corridors, are regulated in French legislation and how they are implemented in practice, and secondly, the implications of this regulation and implementation for the promise of legal pathways to offer regular entry for asylum purposes. Using a legal and policy approach, our research shows that

Title: The Shadow Communication Model Seminar date: 2025-10-17 Course: Strategic Brand Management Authors: William Eriksson, Saga Nunstedt Strömberg, Ole Senkler Advisor: Mats Urde Keywords: Shadow message / Noise / Shannon Weaver / Semiotics / The Shadow Communication Model Research question: How do companies express shadow messaging in their advertisements, and in what ways does external n

Introduction: The hepatic cytochrome P450 system includes the polymorphic CYP2D6 gene. CYP2D6 ultra rapid metabolizers (UMs) were 10-fold more common in suicide victims than in the general population in a previous study. The aim of this study was to investigate if the occurrence of the CYP2D6 UM genotype differs between subjects with and without previous suicide attempt in patients treated for dep

Reactions of LXYL17 or LXYL18 (LXYL17 = α,α′-bis[((1-methyl-2-benzimidazolyl)methyl)-N-(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)-amino]-m-xylene; LXYL18 = α,α′-bis[((1-methyl-2-benzimi-dazolyl)-methyl)-N-(2-pyridylethyl)-amino]-m-xylene) with [Cu(MeCN)4](ClO4) in CH2Cl2 at 298 K, subsequent exposure to dioxygen, and work-up from MeCN–MeOH, led to [CuII2(LXYL17)(μ-OMe)2](ClO4)2•0·5H2O (1) and [CuII2(L XYL18)(μ-OM

Bakgrund: Distriktssköterskans hälsofrämjande arbete är centralt i den kommunala primärvården och påverkas av organisatoriska förutsättningar samt krav och förväntningar från patienter, anhöriga och verksamhet. Dessa faktorer kan inverka på arbetsmiljön och upplevelsen av meningsfullhet i yrkesrollen. Syfte: Att undersöka distriktssköterskors erfarenheter på deras hälsofrämjande arbete inom kommun

Bakgrund: Hemsjukvården expanderar och att allt fler avancerade hälso- och sjukvårdsinsatser utförs i patientens hem. Flera studier framhåller att patienter värdesätter att få vård i hemmet, men få studier beskriver sjuksköterskornas erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med avancerade vårdbehov i hemsjukvården. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av avancerade vård

Bakgrund: Postpartumdepression är en allvarlig diagnos som drabbar 10-13% av nyblivna mödrar. För att möjliggöra tidig identifiering ska alla nyblivna mödrar i Sverige erbjudas screening med självskattningsskalan Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Forskningen kring distriktssköterskors upplevelser av screeningen i Sverige är bristfällig. Syfte: Att belysa distriktssköterskors erfarenhete

Bakgrund: En åldrande befolkning och ett ökat antal äldre personer som vårdas i kommunal primärvård, kräver att distriktssköterskor är trygga i att samtala om döden. Patienter uttrycker en önskan om att diskutera sina förväntningar i livets slutskede, men denna önskning blir inte alltid tillgodosedd. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att belysa distriktssköterskors erfarenheter av samtal om döden med pati

Bakgrund: Att informera vårdnadshavare inför vaccination är en central del i skolsköterskans hälsofrämjande och sjukdomsförebyggande arbete. Trots att information ges är vissa vårdnadshavare tveksamma till att låta skolsköterskan vaccinera deras barn. Skolsköterskor upplever kommunikationen med vårdnadshavarna som utmanande, vilket gör det viktigt att förstå hur kommunikationen ser ut inför vaccin
