The concerted action EXASRUB was initiated to create a database management system for information on occupational hygiene measurements that could be used to develop exposure models in the European rubber manufacturing industry. Quality of coding was assessed by calculating percentages of agreement and Cohen's kappa statistics (kappa) for an intra- and inter-centre recoding of randomly selected sub
Cancer prevalence is the proportion of individuals in a population who at some stage during their lifetime have been diagnosed with cancer, irrespective of the date of diagnosis. Cancer prevalence statistics have generally been provided by a limited number of well established cancer registries that have been in existence for several decades. The advent of systematic follow-up of life status of inc
Background: Increasing obesity in adults with mobility disability has become a considerable health problem, similar to the increasing trend of obesity in the general population. The aims of this study were to investigate the association of mobility disability with overweight status and obesity in a large population-based Swedish cohort of adults, and to investigate whether mobility disability, hig
The objective of the present study was to map the mechanism whereby G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30), also called G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), stimulates extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 signaling. GPR30 plays important roles in cancer and cardiometabolic regulation. We showed recently that GPR30 forms a plasma membrane complex through its C-terminal type I PSD-95
Objective: To objectively assess anorectal dysfunction following nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy in stage I-II cervical carcinoma patients. Material and Methods: Between 2008 and 2012, 21 patients with primary cervical cancer stage FIGO I-II were enrolled in this prospective study. All women underwent nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy. Anorectal manometry was performed preoperatively and 6 mon
The integration of III-V semiconductors with Si in device fabrication is facilitated by the use of nanoscale structures such as nanowires. Nanowires are predominantly grown using Au seed particles; however, the seed material is known to affect the nanowire growth and properties. Here we present growth of GaAs nanowires using three different seed particle materials: Au, Ag, and a AgAu alloy. By com
We previously showed that SerpinE2 and the serine protease HtrA1 modulate fibro-blast growth factor (FGF) signaling in germ layer specification and head-to-tail development of Xenopus embryos. Here, we present an extracellular proteolytic mechanism involving this serpin-protease system in the developing neural crest (NC). Knockdown of SerpinE2 by injected antisense morpholino oligonucleotides did
I takt med klimatkrisens tilltagande har miljö- och hållbarhetsfrågor fått allt större utrymme inom flera rättsområden. Inom immaterialrätten har ett sådant utrymme dock varit begränsat, något som kommit att ifrågasättas mot bakgrund av den stora mängden intrångsgörande produkter som förstörs till följd av den utbredda förfalskningsproblematiken. När en produkt fastställs som intrångsgörande kan rAs the climate crisis has intensified, environmental and sustainability concerns have gained traction across several areas of law. Within intellectual property law, however, such considerations have traditionally played a limited role, a circumstance that has increasingly been questioned in light of the substantial volume of infringing goods destroyed as a result of widespread counterfeiting. When
Gliding birds continually change the shape and size of their wings(1-6), presumably to exploit the profound effect of wing morphology on aerodynamic performance(7-9). That birds should adjust wing sweep to suit glide speed has been predicted qualitatively by analytical glide models(2,10), which extrapolated the wing's performance envelope from aerodynamic theory. Here we describe the aerodynamic a
The valence character of O 1s -> Rydberg excited O-2 is investigated by means of participator Auger decay spectroscopy, performed at selected photon energies across the K-shell resonance region, and by means of partial ion yield x-ray absorption spectroscopy. For several of the excitation energies studied, the authors find substantial sigma(*)((4)Sigma(-)(u),(2)Sigma(-)(u)) valence character being
The current family of 802.11 protocols are based on the Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) mechanism which is a simple and robust means of sharing a channel. However, two current trends in wireless networks point towards a situation where CSMA fails to perform better than pure random access solutions such as ALOHA. The first trend is the ever increasing raw data rate in each generation of 802.11
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional alteration of RNA sequences that, via insertions, deletions or base substitutions, can affect protein structure as well as RNA and protein expression. Recently, it has been suggested that RNA editing may be more frequent than previously thought. A great impediment, however, to a deeper understanding of this process is the paramount sequencing effort that needs
PowerPoint Presentation Study Opportunities Lund University, Sweden The figures for Lund University in the presentation are based on the 2014 financial year. 1 Sweden in the world Sweden is located in northern Europe and is a part of Scandinavia. It’s the fifth largest country in Europe by size and is a member of the European Union. Less than 10 million people live in Sweden. 2 Examples of Swedish
