Guy-Guessing Democracy : Gender and Item Non-Response Bias in Evaluations of Democratic Institutions

Research on democratic attitudes has recently turned to examine citizens’ views about the performance of specific democratic institutions in their country. Drawing on data from the European Social Survey (ESS6) and the Bright Line Watch Project (BLW) in the United States, this article argues that such evaluative questions carry high levels of cognitive complexity that lead to gender gaps in item r

Carbon starvation, senescence and specific mitochondrial stresses, but not nitrogen starvation and general stresses, are major triggers for mitophagy in Arabidopsis

Selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy (mitophagy) is thought to play an important role in mitochondrial quality control, but our understanding of which conditions induce mitophagy in plants is limited. Here, we developed novel reporter lines to monitor mitophagy in plants and surveyed the rate of mitophagy under a wide range of stresses and developmental conditions. Especially carbon

Comparison of treatment retention of originator vs biosimilar products in clinical rheumatology practice in Sweden

OBJECTIVES: To compare treatment retention between biosimilars and their originator products among first starters (etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab and rituximab), as well as after non-medical switch. METHODS: Patients with rheumatic diseases starting, for the first time, an originator or biosimilar etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab or rituximab were identified in the national Swedish Rheumatol

Comparison of platelet immunity in patients with SLE and with ITP

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is characterized by the development of a specific anti-platelet autoantibody immune response mediating the development of thrombocytopenia. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the production of a wide variety of autoantibodies. In 15-20% of SLE cases, patients develop thrombocytopenia which appears to be autoimmune

Immunobiology of T helper cells and antigen-presenting cells in autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)

Autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (AITP) is a bleeding disease in which autoantibodies are directed against the individual's own platelets, resulting in enhanced Fc-mediated platelet destruction by macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system. Most research in AITP has focused on characterization of the autoantibodies, while little has been devoted to the cellular immune mechanisms leading to a
