Targeting the androgen receptor (AR) pathway prolongs survival in patients with prostate cancer, but resistance rapidly develops. Understanding this resistance is confounded by a lack of noninvasive means to assess AR activity in vivo. We report intracellular accumulation of a secreted antigen-targeted antibody (SATA) that can be used to characterize disease, guide therapy, and monitor response. A

Biodiversity loss and the climate crisis are closely linked. A warmer climate impacts wildlife, entire ecosystems and people, while biodiversity loss exacerbates the effects of climate change. Innovative research can limit the negative effects of these intertwined crises. Researchers at Lund University are investigating the complex links between biodiversity loss and climate change. They are also

The London congestion charging scheme has been in place since the 17th of February 2003 and there is little doubt that, so far, the objectives set out prior to the introduction of the charge have been achieved. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect the congestion charge have had on the air quality in central London. This was done by studying daily data on a number of pollutants that c

Authentication codes that permit arbitration are codes that unconditionally protect against deceptions from the outsiders and additionally also protect against some forms of deceptions from the insiders. Simmons introduced this authentication model and he also showed a way of constructing such codes, called the Cartesian product construction. We present a general way of constructing such codes and

In the context of a global surge in attention towards reducing neonatal mortality in developing countries, this study explores how mothers in the Southern Province of Zambia describe their behavior to prevent and care for neonatal illnesses, and how this behavior is related to their beliefs on neonatal illness causation. Using an anthropological approach that is based on Kleinman’s (1980) local He

Endovascular aortic repair of aortic pathologies has become widely spread among vascular surgeons. Much focus has been directed at perfecting and developing endovascular procedures to treat evermore-complex issues. Much less focus has been directed at the radiation hazards to patients as well as operators and staff when such procedures are performed. Radiation exposure must be used according to th

This paper deals with the potential grammaticalization of English (it) could be and (it) might be into epistemic sentence adverbs in analogy to maybe. They can occur in adverb-like positions and functions in informal language use, e.g. (it) could be something good has begun, often with the pronoun it omitted. But, given that no diachronic development is attested, to what extent does their usage in

This paper explores the potential of corpus data to account for language users’ mental representations of a high-frequency item that is prone to phonetic reduction. We present an analysis of the realisations of semi-modal have to in spoken American English, which is a candidate for to-contraction (compare wanna and gotta) but has no clearly established contracted form. The study therefore focusses

Sexually selected traits are often condition-dependent and are expected to be affected by genome-wide distributed deleterious mutations and inbreeding. However, sexual selection is a powerful selective force that can counteract inbreeding through purging of deleterious mutations. Inbreeding and purging of the inbreeding load for sexually selected traits has rarely been studied across natural popul

This thesis delves into Louis Spohr and his First Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, Op. 26, starting with an overview of the composer's life and his work. The analysis will provide a better understanding of the meaning and characteristics of this composer's writing during his musical career. The thesis also explores the performance of his concerto that is closer to the composer’s origin

Objectives. To study the relationship between clinical manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with polymorphisms in suggested susceptibility genes encoding Fc gamma RIIa, Fc gamma RIIIa, Fc gamma RIIIb, CRP and IL-1Ra. Methods. Genetic polymorphisms were analysed in 323 unrelated SLE patients and 200 healthy blood donors. The genotype frequencies were compared between clinical subset

Since there is a lack of scientific knowledge concerning strategic thinking, this study sought to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the concept. The presumption of the study is that one needs strategic thinking to deal with complex and unfamiliar situations. As globalisation is one main driving factor in the change of how business is run, there is an increased need for organisations to

Multimedia has become one of the cornerstones of our 21st century society and, when combined with mobility, has enabled a tremendous evolution of our society. However, joining these two concepts introduces many technical challenges. These range from having sufficient performance for handling multimedia content to having the battery stamina for acceptable mobile usage. When taking a projection of w

This study aims to research the effect the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have had on third party countries' economic growth. Employing an econometric model with inspiration from previous research and Solow's growth model with augmentation to include human capital. The research spans the period from 1993 to 2022. The third party countries are categorized into four different groups bas
