CERN operates the most complex particle accelerator facility built until today. As such, it consists of thousands of custom-made components spread both in upper ground facilities and in underground tunnels and caverns. Several different hazards, including fire, are present in these facilities and need to be reduced to a tolerable level; in particular, fire safety often requires the application of
The following thesis is concerned with understanding the motivational factors behind Georgian jihadis’ decision to join the Islamic State. It uses the theory of the Islamisation of radicalism to explain the process of radicalisation in Georgia. Resting on a mixed methods research design, the thesis aims to study the individual stories of Georgians fighting for the Islamic State in order to underst
Iran owns various resources for energy production, including natural resources and land. Although the country holds one of the biggest fossil fuel reserves, the country's development plan and international commitments requires the reduction of GHGs and the implementation of clean energy generation. Despite the various plans and institutional support, the country's dependency and trajectori
One of today’s most valuable trade routes consists of digital submarine cables trafficking the seabed of the oceans. Our modern society depends on fast and secure digital connections for economic transactions, government for vital functions and military communication. This has become an arena for competition and an instrument for geopolitical power used by great powers such as USA and China. The g
This study aims to broaden the remits of the relatively scant hitherto literature focused on the impact of the changes in macroeconomic indicators on automotive stock returns. Since a considerable fraction of previous empirical research covered multiple industries, historical results may not be directly transferable for the purposes of the analysis of the automotive industry. This article posits t
Research on anorexia nervosa (AN) has emphasized the importance of low absolute body weight, but emerging research suggests the importance of also considering low body weight relative to an individual's highest premorbid weight (weight suppression; WS). Objective: We investigated whether body mass index and WS at lowest weight (BMI-LW and WS-LW) among adolescents with AN predicted BMI at 6-, 10-,
Water monomers and dimers have been studied at low temperatures in matrices of solid p-H(2), o-D(2), n-H(2), and n-D(2) using infrared spectroscopy. Our data demonstrate interaction mechanisms between host matrix and guest molecules that are different from the ones observed in atomic noble gas matrices. Notably both guest/host rotational-rotational interaction and matrix induced modifications of t
Objectives: Increasing knowledge is required for a better comprehension of the etiology of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). The aim of this study was to highlight the modulations in vascular cell phenotypes, including myofibroblasts (MFs), in human TAA specimens compared to healthy aortas. Methods: histology, RT-PCR and immunohistochemical analysis of a panel of molecules, including EDA Fibronectin
Objective To investigate if the prediction of malignant adnexal masses can be improved by considering different ultrasound-based subgroups of tumors and constructing a scoring system for each subgroup instead of using a risk estimation model applicable to all tumors. Methods We used a multicenter database of 1573 patients with at least one persistent adnexal mass. The masses were categorized into
Background: Prior studies on the association between prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and child motor development have found contradicting results. Using data collected in the INUENDO cohort in Kharkiv (Ukraine), Warsaw (Poland) and Greenland (N = 1,103) between the years 2002 and 2012, we examined relations of prenatal exposure to 1,
Objective - To examine whether there were any differences in the recovery in performance of personal activities of daily living (P-ADL) in elderly persons in relation to cognitive impairments pre- and post-stroke from discharge to 6 and 12 months in elderly persons. Methods - Forty-five elderly persons after stroke were assessed at discharge from hospital and at 6 and at 12 months after stroke ons
Post-mortem analyses of brains from patients with Parkinson disease who received fetal mesencephalic transplants show that alpha-synuclein-containing (alpha-syn-containing) Lewy bodies gradually appear in grafted neurons. Here, we explored whether intercellular transfer of alpha-syn from host to graft, followed by seeding of alpha-syn aggregation in recipient neurons, can contribute to this phenom
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) account for the majority of total morbidity cases in the working-age Swedish population. These disorders are thought to be the reason given for one-third of total certified sick leave requests. In addition to the high cost to society, MSD involve both physical and emotional suffering, pain and financial and social problems for the injured persons. The aim of this st
