Introduction: The pulsatility indices of the umbilical and uterine arteries are used as the surrogate measures of utero-placental perfusion. Combining the two might simplify the evaluation of total placental vascular impedance, possibly improve prediction of adverse outcomes, and help identify pregnancies with suspected fetal growth restriction that need more intense surveillance. Material and met

Interest in precision diagnostics has been fuelled by the concept that early detection of cancer would benefit patients; that is, if detected early, more tumours should be resectable and treatment more efficacious. Serum contains massive amounts of potentially diagnostic information, and affinity proteomics has risen as an accurate approach to decipher this, to generate actionable information that

Several scholars from various theoretical perspectives have proposed pieces of the peace puzzle. As scholars fit together the sometimes disparate pieces of this puzzle, the missing pieces become more visible, and gender is among them. While gender studies, feminist international relations (IR) scholars, and peace and conflict researchers informed by a gender perspective have contributed to this pu

The purpose of this essay is to investigate the validity of the hypothesis that there is a negative relationship between female official representation and the level of corruption in developing states. The possibility of a reversed causality is also considered. This is done through statistical analysis combined with a theoretical framework. The results show a weak relationship between the level o

Norway is one of the best countries in the world when it comes to gender equality, ranking in second place only behind Iceland in the 2018 Global Gender Gap Report. The film industry, however, is and has always been dominated by men, and change in this field has been quite slow—at least until the last decade. Operating in a small country, with 5.3 million inhabitants in 2019, the industry is depen

We present a unifying theory to explain cancer recurrence, therapeutic resistance, and lethality. The basis of this theory is the formation of simultaneously polyploid and aneuploid cancer cells, polyaneuploid cancer cells (PACCs), that avoid the toxic effects of systemic therapy by entering a state of cell cycle arrest. The theory is independent of which of the classically associated oncogenic mu

Among the irregular satellites orbiting Jupiter, the Himalia family is characterized by a high velocity dispersion dv of several hundred m s-1 among its members, inconsistent with a collisional origin. Efforts to account for this through internecine gravitational interactions do not readily reproduce this feature. Here, we revisit the problem in the context of recent cosmogonical models, where the

BACKGROUND: The majority of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) occur at place residence, which is associated with worse outcomes in unselected prehospital populations. Our aim was to investigate whether location of arrest was associated with outcome in a selected group of initial survivors admitted to intensive care.METHODS: This is a post-hoc analysis of the Targeted Temperature Management a

The properties of water in biological systems have been studied for well over a century by a wide range of physical techniques, but progress has been slow and erratic. Protein hydration-the perturbation of water structure and dynamics by the protein surface-has been a particularly rich source of controversy and confusion. Our aim here is to critically examine central concepts in the description of

Crime Terror Nexus studies headed by economists, criminologists, sociologists and anthropologists have studied the growing tendency towards cooperation between networks driven by organized crime and terrorist organizations. This thesis attempts to identify the reasons for this growing cooperation by applying Saskia Sassen’s globalization theory from her book Territory, Authority, Rights: From Medi

The discursive analysis of development began in the 1980’s. We will continue in its tradition, specifically with a focus on the often concealed ties shared by development theory and colonial theory. The aim of this investigation is to reveal the similarities between modern development policy and colonialism with the intention of positively affecting the development discourse. Our object of study i
