This study analyzes how risk attitudes influence the agricultural productivity of men and women in a sub- Saharan African country, Burkina Faso. By using a large representative panel survey of farmers, the results show that as female farmers increase risk taking, the productivity of female-owned plots goes down.

We therefore compared autologous HSCT with bortezomib–melphalan–prednisone (VMP) as intensification therapy, and bortezomib–lenalidomide–dexamethasone (VRD) consolidation the

Theoretical sampling led the concomitant collection and analysis of data. During a period of 12 years, 45 participants with profound cognitive disabilities, aged 12 months to 52 years, were engaged in the projec

A new influenza virus that was first detected in people in April 2009, was initially referred to colloquially as "swine flu", since it contained genes from swine, avian and human influenza viruses. It can, however, not be transmitted by eating pork or dealing with pigs. In Egypt, several hundred thousand pigs were killed in May, in spite of advice from global health authorities that such an action

A continuous growth of the world population raises the importance of preserving food resources while maintaining their nutrient value. Leafy vegetables such as spinach are a food category which decay quickly, and a large amount ends up as food waste. Therefore, shelf life extension while keeping a good product quality is of great interest in food processing. In this study, the effect of combining

Digitaliseringens framfart har lett till omfattande förändringar inom hälso- och sjukvården. Samtidigt som tekniken möjliggör för en ökad effektivisering av vården samt ökad träffsäkerhet i vårdinsatser, aktualiseras en rad utma- ningar och risker.

Den allmänna rösträtten har genom historien varit något som människor be-hövt kämpa för. Idag kan man tycka att det ska vara en självklarhet att alla människor är berättigade lika och allmän rösträtt, men så har fallet långt ifrån alltid varit. Så sent som 1965 såg man till att alla svarta medborgare i USA tilläts utöva sin rätt att rösta. I Sverige, Storbritannien och USA finns det många likhetUniversal suffrage has throughout history been something people have had to fight for. Today, it may seem self-evident that all people are equally entitled to universal suffrage, but this has far from always been the case. As recently as 1965, measures were taken to ensure that all Black citizens in the United States were allowed to exercise their right to vote. In Sweden, Great Britain, and the
