Pituitary adenohypophyseal tumors are considered as benign and termed “adenomas”. However, many tumors are invasive and a proportion of these exhibit an “aggressive behavior” with premature death due to progressive growth. Only very rare (0.2%) tumors with metastases are considered malignant and termed “carcinomas”. Taking into account this variability in behavior and the oncological definition, p

The properties of the bootstrap test for restrictions are studied in two versions: 1) bootstrapping under the null hypothesis, restricted, and 2) bootstrapping under the alternative hypothesis, unrestricted. This article demonstrates the equivalence of these two methods, and illustrates the small sample properties of the Wald test for testing Granger-Causality in a stable stationary VAR system by

This chapter seeks to develop a theoretical basis for better understanding the intersections between public diplomacy (PD) and development communication (Devcom). It will be argued that both fields involve (1) theories of influence over social change in foreign countries; (2) a voluntary transfer of resources from an actor promoting a specific cause or agenda to a group or organization in a foreig

Increased use of powerful PCR technology for the routine detection of pathogens has focused attention on the need for international validation and preparation of official non-commercial guidelines. Bacteria of epidemiological importance should be the prime focus, although a "validation infrastructure" once established could easily be adapted for PCR-based detection of viruses and parasites. The ai

This article focuses on how academic and industrial leaders view central aspects of the initiation, collaboration process, and the outcomes in government-funded R&D projects. In much previous work on university-industry collaborations (UICs), universities or researchers and/or firms have been studied without any direct reference to the other party, thus neglecting the fact that the motivations

It was with great interest that I read “Political Power of Iranian Hierocracies” by János Jany published in Comparative Civilizations Review. Writing about Iranian history is not an easy task because historical points of view have been highly politicized. Such is particularly the case when discussing the Pahlavi dynasty, particularly its founder, Reza Shah Pahlavi, and his successor, Mohammed Reza

Factor H is an inhibitor of the complement system, essential for controlling the alternative pathway and also playing a crucial role in various cellular functions. In this thesis, we identified new intriguing functions of FH as a survival factor for primary human monocytes, promoting their differentiation into immunosuppressive macrophages. We showed that FH is expressed by human breast cancer cel

Evaluating the trade interdependence among countries is the key to understanding critical metal minerals security. By constructing a novel interdependence network, this paper reveals a more comprehensive world hierarchy and risk system of critical metals, and focuses on the interdependencies between China and the US-led MSP countries before and after the Sino-US trade disputes. The results indicat

Climate change poses a significant threat to global stability, with rising temperatures leading to severe environmental and economic impacts. In response, innovative policy mechanisms such as the Global Carbon Reward (GCR) have been designed to enhance the effectiveness of carbon pricing strategies. The foundational aspect of the GCR is a carbon reward, which acts as a financial incentive distribu

Four organizations at Stockholm-Arlanda airport are going through various organizational changes. They are preparing for present and future demands through structural changes, implementation of new technology, training, and other efficiency and capacity improving measures. The change processes will be followed during two years of which this paper presents the baseline measurement. The key factors

Kursen behandlar tillämpningar av: Hahn-Banachs sats, svag konvergens och kompakthet, Riesz representationssats, Ortonormala baser, Integraloperatorers begränsning, kompakthet och spektra, Spektralsatsen för kompakta, självadjungerade operatorer. The course treats applications of the Hahn-Banach theorem, weak convergence and compactness, the Riesz representation theorem, the use of orthonormal bases, boundedness, compactness and spectra of integral operators, the spectral theorem for compact, self-adjoint operators.

Genom musikalisk interaktion mellan sångare och instrumentalister får studenterna en djupare förståelse för frasering, tempo, puls och klang och kan göra en historiskt medveten tolkning av repertoar från barocken. Merparten av kursen leds av violinisten Peter Spissky och ger möjlighet till kammarmusikensembler eller sololektioner. Tiderna för lektioner och projekt planeras i samarbete med deltagarChamber music interaction between singers and instrumentalists develops a deeper understanding of phrasing, tempo, ornamentation, gesture and sound, with both historically informed performance practice and spontaneous ”musicking”.

Inom ramen för kursen ges en översikt över huvuddragen i det judiska minnet av förintelsen med huvudfokus på detta minnes kulturella uttryck i Europa (Västeuropa,Centraleuropa och f.d. Sovjetunionen), USA och Israel. Ur det här perspektivet belyses bl.a. viktiga processer under vilka några av de främsta nazistiska krigsförbrytare ställdes inför rätta, viktiga historiekulturella produkter som filmeThe course provides an overview of the fundamental features of the Jewish remembrance of the Holocaust with a main focus on the cultural expressions of this remembrance in Europe (Western Europe, Central Europe and the former Soviet Union), the USA and Israel. This perspective is used to illuminate, among other things, important processes during which some of the most prominent Nazi war criminals
