PMCA4 is a critical regulator of Ca2+ homeostasis in mammalian cells. While its biological and prognostic relevance in several cancer types has already been demonstrated, only preclinical investigations suggested a metastasis suppressor function in melanoma. Therefore, we studied the expression pattern of PMCA4 in human skin, nevus, as well as in primary and metastatic melanoma using immunohistoch
Incumbent firms face growing pressure to transform their business towards sustainability. However, business models for sustainability (BMfS) and circularity are grounded in fundamentally different institutional logic which, for incumbents, creates tensions with existing business models, structures and routines. How organizations manage tensions from conflicting logics is explored comprehensively i
The aim of our study was to test the hypothesis that administration of Regenerating islet-derived protein 3α (Reg3α), a protein described as having protective effects against oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory activity, could participate in the control of glucose homeostasis and potentially be a new target of interest in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. To that end the recombinant human Reg3α
Taking as the starting point the increasing interest for utilizing public procurement as a means to stimulate innovation, this paper explores some considerations for curriculum development for teaching public procurement of innovation. A basic understanding of what is a curriculum was used as a foundation for the development of a master level course in public procurement of innovation in a univers
In this paper, we propose a new methodology for optimal memory mapping of data and instructions to Scratch-Pad Memories (SPM). In the mapping process, we optimize, as the main priority, the number of memory accesses to minimize power consumption. Minimization of external memory accesses lowers switching activity and therefore power consumption. The optimization is done by finding Pareto-points, us
The Swedish HE Ordinance requires all supervisors of doctoral students to undergo introductory training. The content, goals, learning outcomes and duration is not specified by the Ordinance and thus practices vary between institutions. In 2009/2010, a new study program for doctoral supervisors was launched at Lund University. The program was designed to:- provide research-based support for doctora
The traditional sheet metal forming process, including cast steel die tool and conventional work materials, is fairly well established and analysed. Developments of new alternative materials make great demands upon new forming processes and manufacturing methods. A general goal for the manufacturing industries is to reduce the weight of metal parts, reduce batch sizes and reduce the lead-time of n
The legal empowerment approach is a recent attempt to be specific about the role of institutions for the future eradication of poverty. This is a broad concept that includes not only the national formal judicial system in a country, but all formal and informal institutional structures providing the rules of the game of human interaction in any given society. It has invited a lot of debate as to wh
Both trio and population designs are popular study designs for identifying risk genetic variants in genome-wide association studies (GWASs). The trio design, as a family-based design, is robust to confounding due to population structure, whereas the population design is often more powerful due to larger sample sizes. Here, we propose KnockoffHybrid, a knockoff-based statistical method for hybrid a
Presented is the search for anomalous Higgs boson decays into two axion-like particles (ALPs) using the full Run 2 data set of 140fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment. The ALPs are assumed to decay into two photons, providing sensitivity to recently proposed models that could explain the (g-2)μ discrepancy. This analysis covers an AL
RNA sequencing (RNAseq) methodology has experienced a burst of technological developments in the last decade, which has opened up opportunities for studying the mechanisms of adaptation to environmental factors at both the organismal and cellular level. Selecting the most suitable experimental approach for specific research questions and model systems can, however, be a challenge and researchers i
Biomass residues are often considered key in a reorientation towards circular bioeconomies, both by returning organic matter and nutrients to soils and by expanding the feedstock base for fossil-free products. Different indicators are available to assess progress towards circularity, but many available indicators and assessments seem to focus on product or material circularity, and lack in coverag
The importance of reducing environmental impacts has gained speed in the contemporary global context. Stabilization/Solidification (S/S) has become a practical method for handling polluted dredged sediments to make them usable as a construction material. This study aims to evaluate the environmental and economic impacts of a 48,586 m2 port, with stabilized dredged sediment, by focusing on the prod
BACKGROUND: After over a decade of developments in field collection, laboratory methods and advances in high-throughput sequencing, contamination remains a key issue in ancient DNA research. Currently, human and microbial contaminant DNA still impose challenges on cost-effective sequencing and accurate interpretation of ancient DNA data.RESULTS: Here we investigate whether human contaminating DNA
