Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency has previously been shown to be associated with cancer-related fatigue. If vitamin D deficiency affects fatigue in frail elderly has not been studied before. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between vitamin D, fatigue, frailty, and sarcopenia in frail elderly with cancer (FEC) and without cancer (FE) in comparison with healthy controls. Metho

We present a quantum repeater protocol for distributing entanglement over long distances, where a dedicated communication stage enables trial rates not limited by the travel time between repeater nodes. To accomplish this, each node contains several qubits that can couple to one single-photon emitter. Photons from the emitters in neighboring nodes generate heralded entanglement between qubits in t

Gold particles are commonly used as catalysts in the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth of GaAs nanowires, but the incorporation of gold into the nanowires can negatively affect their electronic and optical properties. In this work, we investigate the equilibrium concentration of Au in GaAs nanowires using density functional theory calculations combined with thermodynamically assessed chemical potent

Voice problems are common among workers in occupations with high demands on oral communication. For sustaining vocal health, it is important to find efficient ways for how to reduce strain on the voice at work, and one way to do so is optimizing the room acoustics for communication. However, to date we do not know enough about what kind of room acoustic conditions that support voice and speech mos

Many businesses still put too much focus on manufacturing, marketing and sales without considering the inter-linkages amongst these elements. This paper shows the importance of including packaging logistics and supply chain management in strategic planning. By integrating these aspects, retailers and suppliers may reduce costs, environmental impact and increase profits. A case study at IKEA is use

Even though language proficiency in children is strongly related to success in almost all domains, neurocognitive studies of L2 processing are typically limited to adults with several years of exposure, who may use general cognitive mechanisms to compensate for any difficulties in L2 processing. For example, whereas previous studies of adult bilinguals have reported differences in the anterior neg

During the past decade, production of products has increasingly been relocated to countries outside the western industrialised area, while consumption of the same products in the west has increased to a considerable extent. Implementation of national policies for limiting the environmental and health impacts of production has encountered a number of difficulties as a result. Policy instruments, no

Aspects of labour market integration and employment strategies in relation to reasonable accommodation regulations and the individualised perspective of anti-discrimination legislation. In recent years an unquestionable shift towards disability anti-discrimination legislation can be observed in EC-law (see dir. 2000/78/EC) as well as in national legislations in many parts of the world. Disability

The 2011 UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) introduced human rights due diligence (HRDD) as a societal expectation to businesses to implement a new kind of due diligence risk management process to ‘know and show’ they respect human rights. Ten years later, mandatory human rights due diligence (mHRDD) legislation imposing a legal duty to carry out HRDD has become mainstream
