To investigate the associations of milk intake (non-fermented and fermented milk), lactase persistence (LCT-13910 C/T) genotype (a proxy for long-term non-fermented milk intake), and gene-milk interaction with risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD mortality. Also, to identify the CVD-related plasma proteins and lipoprotein subfractions associated with milk intake and LCT-13910 C/T genotype

Psykiatriska tillstånd och psykiska besvär är vanligt förekommande hos ungdomar och vid bedömning av psykisk ohälsa har företrädesvis retrospektiv självskattning använts, som innehåller mätfel så som recall bias. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) är en relativt ny samling metoder som mäter människors upplevelser så som de inträffar i vardagen. EMA möjliggör reliabla och ekologiskt valida mätniMental health disorders are common in adolescence, and measures of mental health have typically relied on retrospective self-reports that are influenced by measurement errors, such as recall bias. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a relatively new range of methods that assesses experiences as they occur in daily life. EMA enables reliable and ecologically valid measurement of emotions, thou

Electronic health records (EHRs) are a rich source of information for medical research and public health monitoring. Information systems based on EHR data could also assist in patient care and hospital management. However, much of the data in EHRs is in the form of unstructured text, which is difficult to process for analysis. Natural language processing (NLP), a form of artificial intelligence, h

There is an increasing interest in understanding the atomic level formation of functional materials, e.g. through nucleation and growth from their precursors in solution or through chemically induced phase transitions. Such information is achievable though synchrotron-based in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and total scattering (TS) experiments. In this study we present a new and versati

This article reports on the inclusive production cross section of several quarkonium states, J / ψ, ψ(2 S) , Υ (1 S) , Υ (2 S) , and Υ (3 S) , measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC, in pp collisions at s=5.02 TeV. The analysis is performed in the dimuon decay channel at forward rapidity (2.5 < y< 4). The integrated cross sections and transverse-momentum (pT) and rapidity (y) differential cro

The most widely used positioning system is Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which uses traditional positioning techniques and cannot achieve satisfactory positioning performance in indoor scenarios due to Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) transmission. Fingerprinting is a non-traditional positioning technique that is robust to NLoS transmission in indoor scenarios. Moreover, Applying Machine Lear

This open access book deals with the role of written texts in an increasingly diverse and dynamic society, bringing together a series of studies anchored in the Scandinavian research tradition of sakprosa, which roughly translates as ‘subject-oriented prose’ or ‘professional communication’. The authors examine the written text’s capacity to transcend contextual boundaries, as a crucial factor in t

The way people order signs in non-verbal event representations of events has been a topic of extensive research in recent decades, with conflicting findings. Based on a literature review, we distinguish the following factors that have been argued to influence sign order: (a) diagrammatic iconicity, (b) manipulation vs. construction events, (c) reversibility, (d) most common word order of L1, (e) t

Climate change and anthropogenic activities are producing a range of new selection pressures, both abiotic and biotic, on marine organisms. While there are numerous studies that have investigated the response of individual marine organisms to climate change, few studies have focused on differences in organismal responses across trophic levels. Such trophic differences in response to climate change

The human immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IGH) locus is exceptionally polymorphic, with high levels of allelic and structural variation. Thus, germline IGH genotypes are personal, which may influence responses to infection and vaccination. For an improved understanding of inter-individual differences in antibody responses, we isolated SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific monoclonal antibodies from convalescent h

An 8-band k · p theory is implemented for studying the electronic properties of near-surface lateral InxGa(1-x)As/InP heterostructure nanowires in the (100) direction. The change in bandgap and effective mass due to inhomogeneous strain are compared to unstrained scenario nanowires, and the lattice mismatch is varied from -3.2% to 1%. The nanowires' height is H = 5, 13 nm, and the width varies fro

Background: The aim was to review available biokinetic data, collect own experimental data, and propose an updated compartmental model for 2-[18F]FDG in the frame of the revision of the ICRP report on dose coefficients for radiopharmaceuticals used in diagnostic nuclear medicine. Methods: The compartmental model was developed based on published biokinetic data for 2-[18F]FDG. Additional data on ur
