Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. Despite treatment, tumors invariably recur, and the recurring tumor is resistant to therapies. New approaches are needed for the successful treatment of glioblastoma patients.Tumors are not simply a compilation of molecularly and phenotypically identical neoplastic cells. Instead, the tumor-associated stroma is instrumental in supp

The present study investigated the relationship between multidimensional perfectionism, perceived stress and perceived somatic complaints among Swedish university students. Two hundred and thirteen students participated in the study. The aim of the study was to investigate whether male and female students differ in terms of groups of perfectionism, perceived stress and perceived somatic complaints

This research paper explores the nature of the mean and volatility spillovers from the US and aggregate GIIPS to the largest GDP countries for the EMU and non-EMU countries. I develop a three step univariate volatility spillover model followed by Christiansen (2007) and Ng (2000) to analyze the relevance of local (own country), regional (aggregate GIIPS) and global (US) shocks. Empirical evidence

This dissertation uses longitudinal micro-data from Stockholm between 1878 and 1926 to study the causes and consequences of the fertility transition and to examine the development of living standards inequality during industrialization. Although both processes have received much interest from researchers, we know relatively little of how either one played out among individuals in urban areas, whic

Within the context of understanding the opening up of the People’s Republic of China and the city of Shanghai, the aim of the study is to explore ‘space’ in Chinese Communist Party rhetoric, Shanghai spatial planning discourse and personal intercultural engagements. By the term ‘space’, the author refers to an understanding of societal production that integrates space as part of the analysis, taki

This chapter deals with the depictions of movement of violence in key narratives in Roman historiography.

First results from a study into the abundance trends of oxygen in the Galactic thin and thick disks are presented. Oxygen abundances for 63nearby F and G dwarf stars, based on very high resolution spectra (R∼215 000) and high signal-to-noise (S/N>400) of the faint forbidden oxygen line at 6300Å, have been determined. Our findings can be summarized as follows: 1) at [Fe/H]<0 the oxygen trends in th

Traditional methods for evaluating corporate credit risk rarely consider the impact of the macro economy on corporate value and performance. We argue that lenders and management can obtain valuable information about the need for and approach to restructuring by decomposing default predictions into intrinsic and macroeconomic factors. We apply a method previously used for measuring macroeconomic ex
