Background: Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunocytochemical (ICC) analysis of cell blocks (CBs) has recently emerged in clinical practice. Unlike standardized immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues, cytology involves various preparation methods and fixatives. This study investigated how various fixatives influence PD-L1 immunoreactivity in CBs from malignant pleural

INTRODUCTION: Cytotechnologists have long been central to cervical cancer screening, although their education and job responsibilities differ markedly across countries. The adoption of primary HPV testing has substantially reshaped cytotechnology workforce needs and professional roles. In Sweden, however, no comprehensive overview of these changes exists. This study therefore examined cytotechnolo

This article examines the subversive mobilities and vernacular legal navigation of Uzbek migrants in Finland and Sweden, highlighting their tactical responses to restrictive Nordic migration regimes. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork (2022–2025), including interviews, focus groups and digital ethnography, we explore how migrants with precarious statuses navigate legal ambiguity, administrative opa

Successful outcomes of cell-based therapeutic is highly-dependent on quality and quantity of the cells. Epigenetic modifiers are known to modulate cell fates via reprogramming, hence it is plausible to use them in enhancing the plasticity of mesenchymal stem cells. In this study, we aimed to study the effects of 5-Azacytidine (5-AzaCR), an epigenetic modifier, pretreatment on mesenchymal stem cell

In the article, I argue that by means of qualities intrinsic to the medium of the photobook, the renowned Danish photographer Krass Clement (b. 1946) constructs a complex narration, which, on the one hand, seeksmeta-refl ection on the relationships between photography, memory, and the perception of reality, and, on the other, explores the post-GDR condition of Berlin and Germany.

The article offers a discussion of Sofi Oksanen’s novelPurge, focusing on the book’s strategy of evoking stereotypicalnarratives about Eastern Europe, such as the (postcommunist) fallenwoman and (Russian) return home narratives, as well as relatedintertexts, primarily Lukas Moodysson’s film Lilya 4-ever. I argue thatOksanen constructs the plot around clichés in order to challenge them ina subversi

This article offers a comparative analysis of representations of Russia in contemporary Polish and Swedish documentary films. In both countries, images of Russia are shaped by deeply rooted political and historical associations. Over the past decade, Polish documentaries have shown a noticeable shift towards new ways of addressing Russia, largely driven by a younger generation of filmmakers who ha

In Scandinavian crime fiction, an implicit dynamics is noticeablebetween the adjacent worlds: Scandinavia and ‘Eastern Europe’.The author of the article approaches their relation using the twointerrelated concepts of border and boundary (Casey, 2011). Whileborders are fixed and established by conventional agreements,boundaries are natural, perforated, and undermine the impenetra-bility of the bord

The emigration of three thousand Polish-Jewish citizens to Denmark following the events of March 1968 in Poland has only recently attracted the attention of filmmakers and writers in Denmark. Two documentary films and a novel, created within a relatively short period of time, address this topic: Jacob Kofler’s Statsløs (Stateless, 2004), Jacob Dammas’ Kredens (Dresser, 2007), and Maja Magdalena Sw

The article discusses three feature films produced in Denmark and Sweden in the 1990s: Kajs fødselsdag/The Birthday Trip (Scherfig, 1990), Torsk på Tallinn/Screwed in Tallinn (Alfredson, 1999) and You Can’t Eat Fishing (Windfeld, 1999). All of them, applying various genre conventions, take up the subject of encounters between Scandinavians and ‘East Europeans’ from neighbouring countries. The poin

This book examines the encounters between word and image in Danish literature through the lens of ekphrasis. It analyses how selected writers engage with works of visual art and explores the diverse literary strategies used to translate visual experience into language. The study proposes a theoretical framework that understands ekphrasis as a discourse of desire, drawing on the work of W. J. T. Mi

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: MicroRNAs are potential predictors and mediators of metabolic disease. Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is the most common comorbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF). Here we aimed to investigate serum microRNAs in individuals with CF and differing glucose tolerance status. Specifically, we hypothesised that the circulating microRNA profile varies depending on glucose tolerance st

Importance: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurological progressive disease that can lead to different impairments. It may also impact individuals' quality of life and daily living, including occupational performance and occupational balance. However, occupational balance has not been thoroughly described in this population. Objective: This study aimed to assess occupational balance in a sample o

Background: Late effects of polio (LEoP) are defined as new symptoms, for example, muscle weakness, fatigue, and pain, occurring many years after an acute polio infection. These impairments can lead to difficulties performing everyday activities (ie, activity limitations) that can reduce a person's ability to take part in society (ie, perceived participation restrictions). Yet, no study has explor

Atmospheric inversions are widely used to evaluate and improve inventories of methane (CH4) emissions across scales from global to local, combining observations with atmospheric transport models. This study uses the dense network of in situ stations of the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) to explore how well in situ data can constrain European CH4 emissions. Following the concept of int

Urban mobility is a key mechanism through which the autistic community asserts their right to the city , more broadly representing the neurodiversity movement’s struggle for spatial justice. While public transport plays a critical role in facilitating mobility for the autistic community, limited research has examined their perspectives on how physical and social environmental factors shape their e

Some political parties employ clientelist practices to gain voter support. Yet as more citizens now vote from abroad, little is known about parties engaging in clientelism domestically versus transnationally. We propose parties adopt either a replication or differentiation approach, meaning they apply similar or different campaigning strategies abroad. Using a large-N sample of voter turnout in So
