The androgen receptor (AR) is the central determinant of prostate tissue identity and differentiation, controlling normal, growth-suppressive prostate-specific gene expression 1 . It is also a key driver of prostate tumorigenesis, becoming "hijacked" to drive oncogenic transcription 2-5 . However, the regulatory elements determining the execution of the growth suppressive AR transcriptional progra

Extreme value theory has been receiving much attention of late for proactively estimating crash risk through a two-step procedure that first samples extreme traffic conflicts and then estimates crash risk based on those sampled extremes. Although the existing body of research has encapsulated sampling methods within a predominant conventional technique, there is no universally accepted practice on

UNLABELLED: Cancer cells exhibit phenotypical plasticity and epigenetic reprogramming, which allows them to evade lineage-dependent targeted treatments by adopting lineage plasticity. The underlying mechanisms by which cancer cells exploit the epigenetic regulatory machinery to acquire lineage plasticity and therapy resistance remain poorly understood. We identified Zinc Finger Protein 397 (ZNF397

This paper examines the practice of signposting in online counselling provided by the social services in Sweden. Specifically, it focuses on cases where online users are steered to seek offline help. The data corpus consists of 68 online chat logs (quasi-synchronous interactions) and 200 Internet question form exchanges (asynchronous interactions). The data were examined using the approach of conv

Pea albumins are the soluble fraction of pea proteins, recovered as a side stream of the isoelectric precipitation. The time-resolved heat-induced structural transitions of the whole fraction of pea albumin (PA) were studied by evaluating the structure of the two main fractions, PA1 and PA2. Synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SR-CD) spectroscopy showed that the secondary structure signature

We have generated two reporter plasmids that either monitor expression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E2 mRNAs using splice site SA2709 or HPV16 E1C mRNAs utilizing splice site SA2582. In plasmid pE2sLuc, the entire E2 open reading frame was replaced by the secreted luciferase (sLuc) reporter gene and in the pE1nLuc plasmid the E1/E1C open reading frame was fused in frame with the nanoluc

Swedish small-scale fishing has undergone significant changes over time. There are examples of small-scale fishers who have diversified their activities by developing new sales channels or by processing a large part of their products themselves. However, this type of activity is significantly less well-documented than the fishing itself. In this paper, we examine how the catches of the Swedish sma

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancers featuring an expansile cribriform (EC) pattern are associated with worse clinical outcomes following radical prostatectomy (RP). However, studies of the genomic characteristics of Gleason pattern 4 subtypes are limited.OBJECTIVE: To explore transcriptomic characteristics and heterogeneity within Gleason pattern 4 subtypes (fused/poorly formed, glomeruloid, small cribri

DN DEBATT.En vecka före valet 2022 kallade dåvarande regeringen till en dramatisk pressträff om en påstådd elkris. I efterhand syns det ha varit ett politiskt konstruerat nödläge, som hämtat ur Trumps handbok. En oberoende granskning behövs nu för att minska risken att nuvarande regeringen gör samma sak, skriver Lars Jonung, ekonomiprofessor emeritus.

Introduction: Early-life determinants of middle-age cardiovascular health are poorly understood. This study examines associations of BMI and physical fitness in male adolescents with cardiovascular health measured by the Life's Essential 8 score in middle age. Methods: A population-based cohort study linked BMI and physical fitness from the Swedish Military Conscription Register (men conscripted f

Living through war is more than surviving each day – it's rebuilding life, identity, and society in the shadow of constant threat.This volume offers a multidimensional portrait of Ukraine during the Russian invasion, bringing together real life stories, empirical research, and institutional analyses from scholars and practitioners at Zhytomyr Polytechnic State University and Lund University. It hi

Background: Midwifery continuity of care (MCoC) is a key aspect of woman-centred midwifery care, associated with improved outcomes for both women and midwives. In many countries, maternity care is fragmented, and MCoC uncommon in clinical practice and midwifery education. To address this gap, a pedagogical project entitled “Midwifery Student All the Way” was introduced in a midwifery programme in

Reliable and cost-effective operation of structural systems over their service life depends on the implementation of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and maintenance activities, which influence operational costs, the expected costs of failure and downtime. Decision Value Analysis (DVA) provides a framework to quantify the value of such activities by evaluating their effect on total expected life

Nickel-based catalysts are the most promising alternative to replace platinum in hydrogen conversion devices in alkaline media. One approach to narrowing the performance gap between Pt and Ni is to fine-tune the nickel surface coverage by (hydr) oxide (NiOxHy) species, which determines its electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen oxidation (HOR) and hydrogen evolution (HER) reactions. As Ni easi
