Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) based screening for prostate cancer (PCa) has been shown to reduce prostate specific mortality by 20% in an intention to screen (ITS) analysis in a randomised trial (European Randomised Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer [ERSPC]). This effect may be diluted by nonattendance in men randomised to the screening arm and contamination in men randomised to
Oxidation of SO2.nH2O/HSO3-/SO32- by Pt(CN)4Cl22- has been studied at 25-degrees-C and 1.0 M ionic strength in acidic aqueous solution by use of stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The stoichiometry of the reaction is 1:1 according to Pt(CN)4Cl22- + HSO3 + H2O --> Pt(CN)42- + 2Cl- + HSO4- + 2H+. It is first-order with respect to both [Pt(IV)] and [S(IV)]. The pH-dependence in the region 0.3 < pH < 4.5
Despite a number of corporate governance reforms introduced following an Anglo-American blueprint, the Swedish corporate governance system still contains several country-specific traits. In this article, we try to understand this continuity of the national corporate governance system. We do this by outlining a model for describing the processes of change built on Mary Douglas’ (1986) theory of ‘in
Background Does the genetic aptitude for educational attainment (GAEA) moderate the genetic risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and drug use disorder (DUD)? Methods In the native Swedish population, born 1960-1980 and followed through 2017 (n = 1 862 435), the family genetic risk score (FGRS) for AUD and DUD and GAEA were calculated from, respectively, the educational attainment and risk for AUD a
Occupational balance is a complex phenomenon with a number of different definitions. In this study, which purpose was to investigate how working occupational therapists describe and experience occupational balance, eight occupational therapists participated. The study had a qualitative approach including focus group interviews as a method. As the method of analysis qualitative content analysis wit

In the new normality brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, most governments have to adopt containment measures in order to control the spread of the virus. This paper addresses the adequacy and effectiveness of containment measures implemented by the 19 dierent autonomous regions in which Spain is subdivided. The study focuses on the heterogeneity and lack of simultaneity of measures applied by the re
Horizon Europe has identified climate-neutral and smart cities as one of its mission areas. In Sweden, the national innovation programme Viable Cities has set its sights on realising climate neutrality in cities by 2030. In both cases, a mission-oriented approach focused on citizens as drivers of climate action represents a pathway to success. However, citizen involvement has been presented as an
Inventory management is crucial for organizations, with inventory control being a key component. Efficient inventory control involves balancing various business functions' goals, while also managing economies of scale (EOS) and uncertainties. Multi-echelon inventory control systems (MEICS) consider interdependent stocks and have gained importance with advancements in inventory control techniqu
Today, in vitro (Latin: in glass) meat researchers strive to overhaul meat production technologies by producing meat outside animal bodies, primarily by culturing cells. In the process, meat should become healthier, more environmentally friendly and kinder to animals. In this article, I scrutinize (and problematize) this promissory discourse by examining the world that proponents envision alongsidToday, in vitro (Latin: in glass) meat researchers strive to overhaul meat production technologies by producing meat outside animal bodies, primarily by culturing cells.

The influence of grain boundaries on the mechanical properties of poly-crystalline metals is well known. Here we investigate the influence from a centrally placed grain boundary in nano-sized beams of Cu subjected to tensile loading. The crystallographic orientations in the grains are [100], [110] and [111]. The investigation is performed by means of molecular dynamic simulations employing the molThe influence of grain boundaries on the mechanical properties of poly-crystalline metals is well known.

It is well understood that adding to the population increases CO2 emissions. At the same time, having children is a transformative experience, such that it might profoundly change adult (i.e., parents’) preferences and consumption. How it might change is, however, unknown. Depending on if becoming a parent makes a person “greener” or “browner,” parents may either balance or exacerbate the added COIt is well understood that adding to the population increases CO2 emissions.

As the interest in research performance analysis using bibliometrics increases, more specialised tools are developed. In cases when verified publication data is not available; data is normally collected and aggregated using subject or organisational criteria. The journal subject areas in Thomson Reuters/ISI are often used, but can be poor in their precision and granularity. In an attempt to improv
Proteins are tiny chemical machines that play many critical roles in our body. Some proteins send important messages, some carry crucial supplies, some fight with invaders and protect body from diseases, some clear trash etc. Proteins are strings of hundreds and thousands of small units called amino acids. If the string is built from less than hundred amino acids, it is called a peptide. DNA, a loThe pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease is widely believed to be due to production and deposition of the amyloid β-peptide. Several variants of the Aβ peptide are known to exist in in vivo. Variations include mutations or additional functional groups attached to residue side chains and may affect the aggregation process. Early on-set Alzheimer’s is caused by a variety of single amino acid substitu
