The 1988 Massacres Still Haunt the Islamic Regime in Iran

In the summer of 1988, during the premiership of Mir-Hussein Mousavi, thousands of opponents of the Islamic Republic were extrajudicially executed while in prison. Newly published evidence from Amnesty International shows that Mousavi, despite his denials, was aware of the executions, casting a dark shadow over the reformist movement in Iran.

Speed and concentration of the covering time for structured coupon collectors

Let V be an n-set, and let X be a random variable taking values in the power-set of V . Suppose we are given a sequence of random coupons X1 , X2 , ..., where the Xi are independent random variables with distribution given by X. The covering time T is the smallest integer t ≥ 0 such that the union of the first t Xi's equal V . The distribution of T is important in many applications in combinatoria

Sleep in relation to psychiatric symptoms and perceived stress in Swedish adolescents aged 15 to 19 years

Background:Sleep affects psychiatric health and perceived stress during adolescence.Objective:The first aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of poor sleep in a sample of Swedish adolescents aged 15 to 19 years. The second aim was to investigate correlations between: a) sleep and psychiatric symptoms and; b) sleep and perceived stress. The third aim was to examine possible sex differ

Post-transcriptional control of stem and cancer cell fate. New roles for an old RNA modification.

Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies uncovered widespread RNA modifications on coding and non-coding RNAs collectively refer to as the epitranscriptome. However, we are only now starting to appreciate the impact of the epitranscriptome in regulating cell biology. Among more than 150 RNA modifications, I focused on pseudouridine (Ψ) the most abundant single-nucleoside RNA modi

Prediction of Damage Accrual in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Using the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Frailty Index

Objective: The Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) frailty index (FI) has been shown to predict mortality, but its association with other important outcomes is unknown. We examined the association of baseline SLICC FI values with damage accrual in the SLICC inception cohort. Methods: The baseline visit was defined as the first visit at which both organ damage (SLICC/American

Normalisering av slöjan är vansinne

Huma skiljer inte mellan hur en religiös text skapades, hur den tolkades i historisk social kontext och hur texten bör tolkas idag. De religiösa påbud Huma följer är skrivna av män och har tolkats av män i en patriarkalisk kontext.

General Practitioners’ Experiences of Digital Written Patient Dialogues : A Pilot Study Using a Mixed Method

Background: The path between patients and health care providers has adopted new advanced information technologies. However, opinions vary about the digital care meeting. Physicians have expressed concerns about increased workload, changes in working methods, and information security. Purpose: To explore physicians’ experiences and satisfaction of digital primary health care. Method: A convergent m

Multimeric fusion single-chain variable fragments as potential novel high-capacity ligands

In basic and applied biotechnology, design of affinity ligands has become essential for high-capacity applications such as affinity-based downstream processes for therapeutic molecules. Here, we established a proof-of-concept for the use of multimeric fusion single-chain variable fragment (scFvs) as high-capacity ligands in affinity adsorbents. Mono- and di/tri-scFvs separated by Pro-rich negative

Novel host defence mechanisms during bacterial infections

The immune system has evolved through thousands of years and its architecture has challenged the medical field since the first hieroglyphs and will likely continue do so. With our co-evolution with millions of other species, the complexity to treat infectious diseases has been a race in increasing speed ever since. The establishment of penicillin shortened the length of that battle against a broad
