RNA sequencing-based single sample predictors of molecular subtype and risk of recurrence for clinical assessment of early-stage breast cancer

BackgroundMultigene expression assays for molecular subtypes and biomarkers can aid clinical management of early invasive breast cancer. Based on RNA-sequencing we aimed to develop single-sample predictor (SSP) models for conventional clinical markers, molecular intrinsic subtype and risk of recurrence (ROR).MethodsA uniformly accrued breast cancer cohort of 7743 patients with RNA-sequencing data

Consumer Trust and Platformised Retail Personalisation

As retail is becoming increasingly digitised in its operation and consumer relationships, much faith is put into automation, prediction and insights drawn from consumer data to shape consumer experiences and expectations. Under the umbrella of data-collection and artificial intelligence (AI), this chapter studies the role of consumer trust in retail personalisation. We draw empirical insights from

Imaging Studies of Olfaction in Health and Parkinsonism

Olfactory loss is a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), often preceding the cardinal motor symptoms of the disease. The aim of this thesis was to: (a) evaluate whether olfactory examination can increase diagnostic accuracy, and (b) study the structural and functional neural basis of olfactory dysfunction in PD with different applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).Paper

Methods for anti-factor VIII antibody levels in haemophilia A patients-validation of a multiplec immunoassay and comparability with assays measuring non-neutralising and neutralising antibodies (inhibitors)

IntroductionThe development of neutralising (inhibitors) and non-neutralising antibodies (NNAs) is a complication to factor replacement therapy in haemophilia. The diagnostic methods available lack standardisation, have high inter-laboratory variation, and false-negative as well as false-positive results may affect treatment. Both functional inhibitors and NNAs may be detected with higher reproduc

From Big Bang to Big Data : A History of the Media

Does media history really start with a bang? More than just newspapers, television, and social networks, media are the means by which any information is communicated, from cosmic radiation traces to medieval church bells to modern identity documents. Cultures are held together as much by bookkeeping and records as they are by stories and myths.From Big Bang to Big Data is a long history of the med

Women’s experience of sexuality after radical cystectomy–a qualitative study

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore how women experienced sexuality after radical cystectomy due to bladder cancer. Methods: We performed an interview study with qualitative design with content analysis. Inclusion criteria were age below 75 years. In total 10 women, with a median age of 64 years at surgery, were interviewed at median 24 months post radical cystectomy. Results: The 10 wom

European Stabilisation Policy After the COVID-19 Pandemic: More Flexible Integration or More Federalism?

Crises are a major driving force behind cooperation in the European Union. During severe crises, cooperation has been enlarged and intensified. The Ukrainian war and the covid-19 pandemic are two examples of this pattern, not least when it comes to the conduct of stabilization policies in the EU. In this chapter, we discuss the implications for the EU of a move towards increased fiscal federalism.

Simulations of phase transitions and capacitance, of simple ionic fluids in porous electrodes

In this work, we simulate the capacitance of a simple charged fluid model consisting of equal-sized, spherical monovalent ions, immersed in an implicit solvent. Apart from Coulomb forces, the particles interact via a truncated and shifted Lennard-Jones potential. This is a possible crude model for hydrophobic ions (assuming an implicit aqueous solvent) and allows for a possible demixing transition

Factors influencing self-management behavior during the “Blanking Period” in patients with atrial fibrillation : A cross-sectional study based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills model

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is becoming increasingly common. Effective self-management during the “Blanking Period” is critical. The Information-Motivation-Behavioral skills (IMB) model can be used to study health behaviors in chronic disease patients, but it has not been studied in AF patients. Objective: The goal of this study was to explore the influencing factors and interaction pathw

Online optimisation of the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring octupoles

The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring lattice contains three separate families of octupole magnets. During the lattice design, they served the purpose of minimising the amplitude-dependent tune shift. Ensuring the optimal settings of the octupoles is important in order to achieve the desired machine performance in terms of transverse dynamic acceptance and momentum acceptance. This paper describes the onl
