Exposure to bacterial products lipopolysaccharide and flagellin and hepatocellular carcinoma : A nested case-control study

Background: Leakage of bacterial products across the gut barrier may play a role in liver diseases which often precede the development of liver cancer. However, human studies, particularly from prospective settings, are lacking. Methods: We used a case-control study design nested within a large prospective cohort to assess the association between circulating levels of anti-lipopolysaccharide (LPS)

Partisanship and unreformed bureaucracy : The drivers of election fraud in Sweden, 1719–1908

This paper explains election fraud historically in the case of Sweden, drawing on original data from second-instance election petitions filed in 1719–1908. These petitions reveal systematic procedural violations committed by local election officials toward the end of the Age of Liberty in the eighteenth century. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, fraud had been largely purged from Swedish ele

AtWRKY40 and AtWRKY63 modulate the expression of stress-responsive nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial and chloroplast proteins

The expression of a variety of nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins is known to adapt to changes in environmental conditions and retrograde signaling. The presence of putative WRKY transcription factor binding sites (W-boxes) in the promoters of many of these genes prompted a screen of 72 annotated WRKY factors in the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome for regulators of transcripts

Street art and visual ecocriticism

This paper explores the meaning and potential impact of a number of street artworks that in different ways address and problematise how human beings relate to the biotic community – that is to say a community founded on biocentrism that includes as its members “soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land” (Leopold, 1949/1968, p. 203.).The paper argues that while, for example, inf

Vibroacoustic performance of wooden buildings : Prediction and Perception

When the Swedish building regulations in 1994 allowed wooden multi-storey buildings to be built, this type of lightweight construction became popular due to its low cost and ease of construction, as well as wood being a plentiful resource in Sweden. However, complaints amid inhabitants are often reported due to nuisances caused by disturbing vibrations and noise propagating in the building. Still

Trigeminal sensory neurons require extrinsic signals to switch neurotrophin dependence during the early stages of target field innervation

Sensory neurons of the embryonic mouse trigeminal ganglion are transiently supported by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT3), and NT4/5 during the earliest stages of target field innervation before they become dependent on nerve growth factor (NGF) for survival. To determine whether the switch from BDNF/NT3/NT4/5 dependence to NGF dependence occurs autonomously in these n

Images of Muslim Childhood: Cultural Pluralism and Migrant Identity in Islamic Children’s Literature. Paper at Childhoods 2005 Conference: Children and Youth in Emerging and Transforming Societies. Oslo, Norway

Children and the transmission of religious identity to the next generation are matters of great concern in the Muslims European minorities. As a response to the challenge of cultural pluralism, a new brand of Islamic children’s literature has emerged. Based on examples of such literature, this paper argues that childhood discourse not only expresses heartfelt Muslim concerns.

Liver tissue characterization and influence of chemotherapy in liver surgery

Background & Aims: Primary liver cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. In the western world, the majority of liver malignancies consist of colorectal metastases. Liver resection is the primary treatment for cure in liver tumor disease. Hepatic injuries such as steatosis, steatohepatitis, fibrosis and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, which could be a consequence

Finite-size scaling at phase coexistence

From a finite-size scaling (FSS) theory of cumulants of the order parameter at phase-coexistence points, we reconstruct the scaling of the moments. Assuming that the cumulants allow a reconstruction of the free energy density no better than as an asymptotic expansion, we find that FSS for moments of low order is still complete. We suggest ways of using this theory for the analysis of numerical sim

The organisation of hospitals and the remuneration systems are not adapted to frail old patients giving them bad quality of care and the staff feelings of guilt and frustration

Background In the coming half-century, the population of old people will increase, especially in the oldest age groups. Therefore, the prevalence of multiple chronic conditions, and consequently, the need of health care including care in hospital, is rising. Materials and methods This article includes results from three mainly qualitative articles (interviews with frail old people, physicians, and

Caring for elderly with multimorbidity: Evaluation of ambulatory geriatric unit (AGU) (the AGe-FIT-study) : A randomized controlled trial

Importance: The care of older persons with multimorbidity is a future challenge for the welfare sector in many countries in terms of organization of care and provision of sufficient health care resources. Objective: To determine whether an alternative with an ambulatory geriatric unit (AGU) additional to usual care based on Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is more effective than usual care
