Road Traffic Noise Exposure and Filled Prescriptions for Antihypertensive Medication : A Danish Cohort Study

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological research on effects of transportation noise on incident hypertension is inconsistent.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate whether residential road traffic noise increases the risk for hypertension.METHODS: In a population-based cohort of 57,053 individuals 50-64 years of age at enrollment, we identified 21,241 individuals who fulfilled our case definition of filling ≥2 p

Early life determinants of lung function change from childhood to adolescence

RATIONALE: Little is known about how perinatal and childhood factors influence lung function change between childhood and adolescence.OBJECTIVES: To investigate possible early life predictors of change in FEV1 between age 8 and 16 years. In addition, to investigate possible predictors of having persistently low lung function (FEV1

Revealing movements of a willow warbler hybrid zone and the discovery of a new migratory divide

Ökning i sydliga lövsångares flyttningsbeteende Fåglars flyttning har länge fascinerat människan och kanske framförallt småfåglars flyttning. Hur kan t. ex. en lövsångare, Phylloscopus trochilus, på 10 gram som föddes för några månader sedan hitta hela vägen ner till övervintringsområdena i Afrika, dessutom helt utan hjälp av andra? Sedan länge är det känt att svaret verkar ligga i deras gener mDifferences in migratory behaviour has long been suggested to potentially drive speciation, but the genetics underlying this process remains a mystery. Studies of hybrid zones between two closely related taxa with contrasting migratory phenotypes, called migratory divides, have played a crucial role for our understanding of how such differences can lead to reproductive isolation. Movements of hybr

Coming to Light : Illuminating the House of the Greek Epigrams in Pompeii

In recent decades, studies of Roman domestic space have proliferated. The result is a rich but impenetrable picture, with scholars often favoring the use of ancient sources on one hand and finds from excavated houses or material remains on the other. Studies have emphasized how light can be approached to investigate space and its social meaning. At the same time, in the field of digital technologi

Stratified Genetic Analysis Reveals Sex Differences In MPO-ANCA-associated Vasculitis

OBJECTIVE: To identify and genetically characterize subgroups of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) based on sex and ANCA subtype.METHODS: A previously established SNP dataset derived from DNA sequencing of 1853 genes and genotyping of 1088 Scandinavian cases with AAV and 1589 controls was stratified for sex and ANCA subtype and analysed for ass

Associations of CSF PDGFRβ With Aging, Blood-Brain Barrier Damage, Neuroinflammation, and Alzheimer Disease Pathologic Changes

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Injured pericytes in the neurovascular unit release platelet-derived growth factor β (PDGFRβ) into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, it is not clear how pericyte injury contributes to Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related changes and blood brain barrier (BBB) damage. We aimed to test if CSF PDGFRβ was associated with different AD- and age-associated pathological changes

Voices of Supporters : Populist parties, social media and the 2019 European elections

This book addresses an under-researched area within populism studies: the discourse of supporters of populist parties. Taking the 2019 European elections as their case study, the authors analyse how supporters in eleven different countries construct identities and voting motivations on social media. The individual chapters comprise a range of methods to investigate data from different social mediaThis book addresses an under-researched area within populism studies: the discourse of supporters of populist parties. Taking the 2019 European elections as their case study, the authors analyse how supporters in eleven different countries construct identities and voting motivations on social media.

Long-term exposure to residential transportation noise and mortality : A nationwide cohort study

Studies have indicated that transportation noise is associated with higher cardiovascular mortality, whereas evidence of noise as a risk factor for respiratory and cancer mortality is scarce and inconclusive. Also, knowledge on effects of low-level noise on mortality is very limited. We aimed to investigate associations between road and railway noise and natural-cause and cause-specific mortality

ON KANNAN-GERAGHTY MAPS AS AN EXTENSION OF KANNAN MAPS

Extending the concept of weakly Kannan maps on metric spaces, we study the maps as $f:X\rightarrow X$ on a metric space $(X, d)$ satisfying condition $d(f(x), f(y)) \leq (1/2)\beta(d(x, y))[d(x ,f(x)) + d(y, f(y))]$ for every $x, y\in X$ and a function $\beta: [0, \infty)\rightarrow [0,1)$ where for every sequence $t=\{t_n\}$ of non-negative real numbers satisfying $\beta(t_n)\rightarrow 1,$ while
