My chapter gives an overview of gender and religion in Europe in the “long” 19th century based on developments in historical research since the 1980s. The focus is on Catholicism and Protestantism with some reflexions also on Judaism and Orthodox Christianity.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests that CRC should be considered a heterogeneous disease, with multiple differences between proximal and distal tumours. The immune system may, depending on the context, promote or inhibit tumour growth, and different immune cell subsets have been found to be associated with impaired or improved prognosis

Increased levels of the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) are associated with higher risk of kidney disease progression and cardiovascular events, but underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here, we conduct trans-ethnic (n = 564,257) and European-ancestry specific meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies of UACR, including ancestry- and diabetes-specific analyses, and

Charged-particle fragmentation functions for jets azimuthally balanced by a high-transverse-momentum, prompt, isolated photon are measured in 25 pb-1 of pp and 0.49 nb-1 of Pb+Pb collision data at 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are compared to predictions of Monte Carlo generators and to measurements of inclusively selected

PURPOSE: Adjuvant chemotherapy versus observation and chemotherapy at progression was evaluated in 162 patients in a prospective randomized multicenter study. We also evaluated DNA-measurements as an additional prognostic factor.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients received adjuvant carboplatin AUC 7 every 28 days for six courses (n = 81) or no adjuvant treatment (n = 81). Eligibility included surgicall

This paper analyses the marriage patterns of multi-ethnic people–who have one native-born and one foreign-born parent–born in Sweden (multi-ethnic Swedes). Based on Swedish register data from the period 1997–2016 and multinomial regression analysis, this paper looks into the generational transmission of inter- and intra-marriage for multi-ethnic Swedes versus mono-ethnic individuals who have two n

Purpose: [18F]flortaucipir binds to paired helical filament tau and accurately identifies tau in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, “off-target” binding interferes with the quantification of [18F]flortaucipir in several brain regions. Recently, other tau PET tracers have been developed. Here, we compare [18F]flortaucipir with the novel tau tracer [18F]RO948 head-to-head in vivo. Methods: We includ

Romulus Bucur is a renowned writer and literary critic. He is also faculty member at Transylvania University of Brasov, institution well-known for its courses of creative writing and translation studies. "Glosses" is a nimbly written theoretical book wherein many topics are analyzed. One of the most important is the work of Alexandru Musina, editor, writer, professor, and mentor of the Group of Br

Family history (FH) of cancer is an important factor of increased risk of several cancers. Although the association between FH of cancer and concordant cancer risk has been reported in many previous epidemiological studies, no comprehensive prospective study with adjustment for lifestyle habits has evaluated the association of FH of cancer and concordant cancer risk. We investigated the associatio

Det finns en stark traditionalistisk rörelse inom katolska kyrkan. Bakgrunden är de reformer som genomfördes som ett resultat andra vatikankonciliet 1962-1965. Konciliet banade väg för en mer öppen form av katolicism, som av många konservativt sinnade katoliker uppfattades som ett avsteg från den katolska tron och traditionen. För att värna vad man uppfattar som den sanna katolicismen har dessa tr

A potential drop method, as used for estimations of crack lengths during three‐point‐beind experiments, is studied. The mechanical state is calculated using a finite element method. The deformed body obtained is used for a subsequent calculation of the electrostatic state. Calculations are performed for both two‐ and three‐dimensional models. The material is assumed to be elastic, linearly hardeni

Notions of research quality are contextual in many respects: they vary between fields of research, between review contexts and between policy contexts. Yet, the role of these co-existing notions in research, and in research policy, is poorly understood. In this paper we offer a novel framework to study and understand research quality across three key dimensions. First, we distinguish between quali

Objective: Survival in cervical cancer has improved little over the last decades. We aimed to elucidate primary treatment patterns and survival. Methods: Population-based study of patients included in the Swedish Quality Registry for Gynecologic Cancer diagnosed 2011–2015. Main outcome was 5-year relative survival (RS). Age-standardised RS (AS-RS) was estimated for the total cohort and for the poo

Our aim is to construct efficient preconditioners for high order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods. We consider the DG spectral element method with Gauss‐Lobatto‐Legendre nodes (DGSEM‐GL) for the 1D linear advection equation. It has been shown in [4] that DGSEM‐GL has the summation‐by‐parts (SBP) property and an equivalent finite volume (FV) discretization is presented in [3]. Thus we present a
