Somatic mutations in blood indicative of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) are associated with an increased risk of hematologic malignancy, coronary artery disease and all-cause mortality. Here we analyze the relation between CHIP status and incident peripheral artery disease (PAD) and atherosclerosis, using whole-exome sequencing and clinical data from the UK Biobank and the

Axis Communications wishes to investigate their PaaS system, Axis Connected Services(ACX), with regard to separation of the tenants of the platform to ensure the implemented separation technologies are used correctly and to find out whether more separation is necessary. ACX ties together several previously separate services under a single umbrella, with the goal of improving usability and increasi

L2 motivation research has a longstanding monolingual bias. Recently, however, the motivational systems of a multilingual’s different languages have been conceptualized as constituting a multilingual motivational system, and it has been suggested that interactions between the ideal Lx self and the ideal Ly self can lead to the emergence of an ideal multilingual self. While the notion of an ideal m

Sprays are commonly found in, among other, combustion, agriculture and food processing. For each of these applications, the understanding of spray liquid dynamics is crucial for optimization of efficiency, accuracy, and robustness of the spray­-system in use. Sprays are also found as a collection of respiratory droplets ejected when people are speaking, yelling, coughing etc. that is one of the ma

This paper explores overlapping of economy and politics with ideology in 17th-century northern Sweden. Focusing on silver mining conducted in Sápmi (Lapland), the paper investigates the rhetoric of mines as arenas of moral and cultural improvement, the ways this rhetoric was expressed and aided by material culture and the ways the civilizing projects were contested by the indigenous Sami, towards

This thesis delves into the intricate challenges surrounding responsible disengagement in high-risk contexts, exploring its potential to minimize human rights harms resulting from business withdrawal in such settings. The study meticulously scrutinizes legal understandings of high-risk contexts, focusing on defining circumstances where severe human rights impacts are probable, including armed conf

By tradition, L2 motivation research has a monolingual bias – the motivational systems of a learner’s different languages conceptualized as separate entities rather than as cognitively interconnected. At a time when multilingualism has become a new world order (Douglas Fir Group, ) and where there is evidence of powerful identity experiences connected to speaking several languages (Pavlenko, ) thi

IntroductionLow serum selenium and altered tumour RNA expression of certain selenoproteins are associated with a poor breast cancer prognosis. Selenoprotein expression stringently depends on selenium availability, hence circulating selenium may interact with tumour selenoprotein expression. However, there is no matched analysis to date.MethodsThis study included 1453 patients with newly diagnosed

CC-GLPDC codes are a class of generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes where the constraint nodes (CNs) represent convolutional codes. This allows for efficient decoding in the trellis with the forward-backward algorithm, and the strength of the component codes easily can be controlled by the encoder memory without changing the graph structure. In this letter, we extend the class of CC-G

Syftet med mitt arbete är att utveckla min egen interpretation av andra satsen i Haydns cellokonsert i C-dur. Genom att systematiskt lyssna på hur ett antal berömda cellister tolkat musiken, genom att jämföra parametrarna tempo, vibrato, dynamik och frasering har jag kunnat upptäcka vissa samband och avvikelser mellan tolkningarna. Med hjälp av denna nya kunskap har det varit möjligt för mig att mThe purpose of this study was to develop my own interpretation of the second movement of Haydn’s cello concerto in C major. By systematically listening to how famous cellists have interpreted this piece, and by comparing the parameters tempo, vibrato, dynamics and phrasing, I have been able to discover certain connections and differences between the interpretations. With help of this knowledge it

Introduction: Heterogeneity in composition and spatial configuration of landscape elements support diversity and abundance of flower-visiting insects, but this is likely dependent on taxonomic group, spatial scale, weather and climatic conditions, and is particularly impacted by agricultural intensification. Here, we analyzed the impacts of both aspects of landscape heterogeneity and the role of c

Lung neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) are a heterogeneous population of neoplasms with different pathology, clinical behavior, and prognosis compared to the more common lung cancers. The diagnostic work-up and treatment of patients with lung- NEN has undergone major recent advances and new methods are currently being introduced into the clinic. These Nordic guidelines summarize and update the Nordic

Fire carbon emissions over Equatorial Asia (EQAS) play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. Most regional fire emissions (89.0%) occur in the dry season, but how changes in the dry-season length affect the fire emissions remains poorly understood. Here we show that, the length of the EQAS dry season has decreased significantly during 1979–2021, and the delayed dry season onset (5.4 ± 1.6 (±
