A MASS TRANSFERENCE PRINCIPLE AND SETS WITH LARGE INTERSECTIONS
I prove a mass transference principle for general shapes, similar to a recent result by H. Koivusalo and M. Rams. The proof relies on Vitali's covering lemma and manipulations with Riesz energies. The main novelty is that it is proved that the obtained limsup-set belongs to the classes of sets with large intersections, as defined by K. Falconer. This has previously not been proved for as general s
Hosting Overnight Guests : Gendered Unpaid Work as a Solidarity Mechanism of Migrants in the Process of Urbanization in Turkey
This article addresses overnight guest hosting, which is a widespread solidarity practice among rural-to-urban migrants in Turkey. The fieldwork, based on in-depth interviews with 28 first-generation migrant women, reveals that it was mostly the young migrant women who shouldered hosting tasks as gendered unpaid work, which deepen their time poverty and reinforce their dependence on family. The an
High need for intensive care in paediatric acute myeloid leukaemia : A population-based study
Aim: Risk of treatment-related life-threatening toxicity is high in childhood acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and access to intensive care units (ICU) is crucial. We explored the ICU admission rate and outcome after intensive care in childhood AML in Sweden. Methods: Patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2016 were identified from the Swedish Childhood Cancer Registry (SCCR), a national quality regist
The Alzheimer's Association appropriate use recommendations for blood biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease
Blood-based markers (BBMs) have recently shown promise to revolutionize the diagnostic and prognostic work-up of Alzheimer's disease (AD), as well as to improve the design of interventional trials. Here we discuss in detail further research needed to be performed before widespread use of BBMs. We already now recommend use of BBMs as (pre-)screeners to identify individuals likely to have AD patholo
Optical diagnostics of misfire in partially premixed combustion under low load conditions
To clarify the misfire mechanism is important for stabilizing combustion in partially premixed combustion (PPC) under low load. Fuel-tracer planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF), formaldehyde PLIF, flame and OH* natural luminosity imaging were utilized to qualify the local equivalence ratio, low-temperature reaction and the high-temperature flame features in an optical engine. Results show that
Usability Study of the iACTwithPain Platform : An Online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion-Based Intervention for Chronic Pain
Background: This pilot study aims to test the usability of the iACTwithPain platform, an online ACT-based intervention for people with chronic pain, to obtain information on which intervention and usability aspects need improvement and on expected retention rates. Methods: Seventy-three Portuguese women with chronic pain were invited to complete the first three sessions of the iACTwithPain interve
Internal Retrofitting with Hemp-Lime on Brick Masonry : a Study to Prevent Damage Caused by Sodium Sulphate
In Sweden there are a great number of neo-gothic churches built in brick masonryaround 1870-1910. They are constructed as massive masonry walls with façadebricks attached to a core of massive red bricks. In the majority of these churchesthere is a presence of sodium sulphate causing salt damages. The source of the salts is known to be the red masonry bricks and the damage occurs both internally an
Moisture Levels in Historic Timber Walls Insulated with Hemp-Lime
The European Union has a low-carbon roadmap that aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions toprevent further climate change and achieve climate-neutrality by 2050. Many of the historical buildings that wehave today will still be around in 2050. Hence, there is a need to improve their energy performance. A way to dothis is to use hemp-lime as a material for renovation. Hemp shiv, the woody core par
Attacks on the Firekite Cipher
Firekite is a synchronous stream cipher using a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) whose security is conjectured to rely on the hardness of the Learning Parity with Noise (LPN) problem. It is one of a few LPN-based symmetric encryption schemes, and it can be very efficiently implemented on a low-end SoC FPGA. The designers, Bogos, Korolija, Locher and Vaudenay, demonstrated appealing properties
Risk for Mould Growth on Hemp-Lime at Different Relative Humidity
Microbial growth often thrives in humid conditions, at high relative humidity. Moulds are complex organisms; many types of mould are able to survive strong variations in humidity and temperature, such as those on building façades. For some building materials a critical relative humidity is determined, which functions as a theoretical threshold; at this (or lower) relative humidity microbial growt

Plasma proteome profiling of healthy individuals across the life span in a Sicilian cohort with long-lived individuals
The study of healthy human aging is important for shedding light on the molecular mechanisms behind aging to promote well-being and to possibly predict and/or avoid the development of age-related disorders such as atherosclerosis and diabetes. Herein, we have employed an untargeted mass spectrometry-based approach to study age-related protein changes in a healthy Sicilian plasma cohort including l
Comparative Genomics of the Waterfowl Innate Immune System
Animal species differ considerably in their ability to fight off infections. Finding the genetic basis of these differences is not easy, as the immune response is comprised of a complex network of proteins that interact with one another to defend the body against infection. Here, we used population- and comparative genomics to study the evolutionary forces acting on the innate immune system in nat
Uptake of cervical cancer screening and its predictors among women of reproductive age in Gomma district, South West Ethiopia : a community-based cross-sectional study
Background: Cervical cancer is a public health challenge despite the available free screening service in Ethiopia. Early screening for cervical cancer significantly improves the chances of successful treatment of pre-cancers and cancers among women of reproductive age. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the uptake of screening and identify the factors among women of reproductive age. Methods: A
Futures of Fixing : Exploring the life of product users in circular economy repair society scenarios
A Circular Economy (CE) constitutes one pathway towards realising sustainable productionand consumption. Here, the repair of broken products (compared to replacement) consti-tutes an important strategy to keep products in the economy for longer, thereby reducingwaste, as well as the need to extract resources and emit pollution in the manufacture of areplacement product. In today’s world, repair do
Enrichment of Complement, Immunoglobulins, and Autoantibody Targets in the Proteome of Platelets from Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex disease characterized by autoimmunity toward apoptotic cells, excessive amounts of circulating immune complexes, and complement activation. A decreased platelet size has been observed in SLE and their nonhemostatic functions may play an active role in the disease. The main objective of this study was to find clues that could explain their
The Organisation of Prayer Rooms in Educational Institutions in Denmark : Moderate Secularism Between Perception and Practice
In 2017, the Danish parliament discussed prayer rooms at educational institutions in a broadly publicised controversy. The debate followed a series of issues arising from such institutions’ changing demography, resulting in increased Muslim presence. Beneath the public and parliamentary debate in 2017, civil servants in ministries and educational institutions became highly engaged in negotiating w
Inflammatory cytokines and mechanical injury induce post-traumatic osteoarthritis-like changes in a human cartilage-bone-synovium microphysiological system
Background: Traumatic knee injuries in humans trigger an immediate increase in synovial fluid levels of inflammatory cytokines that accompany impact damage to joint tissues. We developed a human in vitro cartilage-bone-synovium (CBS) coculture model to study the role of mechanical injury and inflammation in the initiation of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA)-like disease. Methods: Osteochondral
