Meat and Heme Iron Intake and Risk of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Upper Aero-Digestive Tract in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)
Background: Evidence from prospective studies on intake of meat and fish and risk of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the upper aero-digestive tract (UADT) is scarce. We prospectively investigated the association of meat and fish intake with risk of SCC of the UADT and the possible mechanism via heme iron in the large multicenter European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)
Frälsningen, lagen och sanningen i ett kommunalt aktiveringsprojekt
I artikeln analyseras maktrelationen mellan socialarbetare och deltagare i ett kommunalt aktiveringsprojekt för arbetslösa. Socialarbetarna ska samtidigt både stödja och kontrollera de arbetslösa, vilket skapar en relation mellan representanterna för välfärdsstatens hjälpverksamhet och deras klienter. Analysen utgår från den franske idéhistorikern och filosofen Michels Foucaults teoribildning om p

Lack of Methylation in the Upstream Region of Human Papillomavirus Type 6 from Aerodigestive Tract Papillomas
Methylation of the high-risk human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) upstream regulatory region (URR) has been described, but whether methylation is present among low-risk HPVs is unknown. The methylation status of the HPV6 URR was analyzed in papillomas from the upper aerodigestive tract of six adult patients. All CpGs in the URR were unmethylated, from both basal/intermediate and superficial cells,
Optimal Multitaper Wigner Spectrum Estimation of a Class of Locally Stationary Processes Using Hermite Functions
This paper investigates the time-discrete multitapers that give a mean square error optimal Wigner spectrum estimate for a class of locally stationary processes (LSPs). The accuracy in the estimation of the time-variable Wigner spectrum of the LSP is evaluated and compared with other frequently used methods. The optimal multitapers are also approximated by Hermite functions, which is computational
Changes in Philornis infestation behavior threaten Darwin's finch survival
The conservation behavior framework is useful to identify key linkages between behavior and conservation practice. We apply this framework to a novel host-parasite system on the Galapagos Islands and ask if there have been changes in parasite oviposition behavior and host mortality patterns across the first decade (2004-2013) of its known association. The Dipteran parasite Philornis downsi was fir
Heterogenous mismatch-repair status in colorectal cancer
Background: Immunohistochemical staining for mismatch repair proteins is efficient and widely used to identify mismatch repair defective tumors. The tumors typically show uniform and widespread loss of MMR protein staining. We identified and characterized colorectal cancers with alternative, heterogenous mismatch repair protein staining in order to delineate expression patterns and underlying mech

Long-term rivastigmine treatment in a routine clinical setting.
Objective - The aim of the study was to observe the effects of long-term rivastigmine treatment in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a routine clinical setting. Methods - This was a prospective, open-label, observational, multicentre, non-randomized study. Outcome measures included the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Chan
Dynamics of competitive polymer adsorption onto planar surfaces in good solvent.
Adsorption of mixed polymer solutions in good solvent containing polymers of different chain length has been studied by applying simulation techniques on a coarse-grained bead-spring polymer model. Fully flexible polymers at varying bead-surface interaction strength and different combinations of flexible, semiflexible, and stiff polymers at a single bead-surface interaction strength have been exam
Effect of temperature difference between manikin and wet fabric skin surfaces on clothing evaporative resistance: how much error is there?
Clothing evaporative resistance is one of the inherent factors that impede heat exchange by sweating evaporation. It is widely used as a basic input in physiological heat strain models. Previous studies showed a large variability in clothing evaporative resistance both at intra-laboratory and inter-laboratory testing. The errors in evaporative resistance may cause severe problems in the determinat
Getting used to assistive devices: Ambivalent experiences by frail elderly persons
The aim was to learn how frail elderly people experienced becoming assistive device users and how assistive devices affected their independence in daily activities. Focus-group methodology was used, including people 80 and older with multiple health problems. Five group discussions were conducted with a total of 18 people including 14 women and four men. Each group met once, for 90-120 minutes, an
Litteraturen som händelse och handling. Litteraturens performativitet i Sverige 1800 - 2008. Ett forskningsprojekt
Literature's ability to act - its performativity - is best shown in different performances, such as reading aloud, singing - in events. The different concepts and theories that form the foundation of an exploration of these performances in swedish culture in the period 1800 -2008 are presented, and also the organization of this exploration, eg a historical organization, structured according to dif
The ontological parsimony of mereology
David Lewis (Parts of classes, Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, 1991, 84) famously argued that mereology is ontologically innocent. Many who have considered this claim believe he was mistaken. Mereology is not innocent, because its acceptance entails the acceptance of sums, new objects that were not previously part of one’s ontology. This argument, the argument from ontological parsimony, has two versions
Ultrafast Relaxation Dynamics of Uracil Probed via Strong Field Dissociative Ionization
We study the ultrafast relaxation dynamics of uracil excited to the first bright pi pi* state (S-2) by an ultrafast laser pulse in the deep ultraviolet (central wavelength lambda(0) = 260 nm). With a unique combination of strong field dissociative ionization measurements, state of the art strong field ionization calculations, and high level ab initio calculations of excited neutral and ionic state
Manual tracking enhances smooth pursuit eye movements
Previous studies have reported that concurrent manual tracking enhances smooth pursuit eye movements only when tracking a self-driven or a predictable moving target. Here, we used a control-theoretic approach to examine whether concurrent manual tracking enhances smooth pursuit of an unpredictable moving target. In the eye-hand tracking condition, participants used their eyes to track a Gaussian t
Chemical evolution of the galactic bulge as traced by microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars. II. Ages, metallicities, detailed elemental abundances, and connections to the Galactic thick disc
Context. The Bulge is the least understood major stellar population of the Milky Way. Most of what we know about the formation and evolution of the Bulge comes from bright giant stars. The underlying assumption that giants represent all the stars, and accurately trace the chemical evolution of a stellar population, is under debate. In particular, recent observations of a few microlensed dwarf star
The Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) Pro129Thr Polymorphism is not Associated with Severe Obesity in Greek Subjects
Fatty amid acid hydrolase (FAAH) has been implicated at both protein and gene level with obesity. An association between Pro129Thr variant of the FAAH gene and obesity has been described, but various studies have yielded conflicting results. Our aim was to determine whether this polymorphism is related to severe obesity and whether it confers a risk for variability of quantitative metabolic traits
