BACKGROUND: Transportation noise increases the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), but few studies have investigated subtypes of IHD, such as myocardial infarction (MI), angina pectoris, or heart failure. We aimed to study whether exposure to road, railway and aircraft noise increased risk for ischemic heart disease (IHD), IHD subtypes, and heart failure in the entire adult Danish population, in
PURPOSE: While patients with intermediate-risk (IR) Wilms tumors now have an overall survival (OS) rate of almost 90%, those affected by high-stage tumors with diffuse anaplasia have an OS of only around 50%. We here identify key events in the pathogenesis of diffuse anaplasia by mapping cancer cell evolution over anatomic space in Wilms tumors.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We spatially mapped subclonal la
Knowledge spillovers across economic agents are central to the process of technological innovation. Yet, the mechanisms by which spillovers travel and manifest as innovation are poorly understood. To fill that gap, we study how knowledge spillovers emanating from other cities (knowledge pools) diffuse and get absorbed. We refine the notion of connectedness by comparing three mechanisms through whi
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) education endorses educational initiatives that advocate for reducing existing disaster risks. The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the social order around the world, including the education sector. The rise of the pandemic paved the way to significantly convert the education sector towards online/distant learning via digital platforms. Online distance learning was a chal
Despite abundant knowledge about the relationship between inflammation and coronary atherosclerosis, it is still unknown whether systemic inflammation measured as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is associated with coronary atherosclerosis in a general population. This study aimed to examine the association between hsCRP and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-detected coron
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In order to investigate the relation between personal functional capacity and the physical housing environment during the aging process, the aim of this study was to give a long-term description of person-environmental fit (P-E fit) problems in terms of housing accessibility and ADL dependence among older adults, and to study their relationships at three points in time. METHOD
When deciding upon the usage of direct deliveries as opposed to central inventories, efficiency and strategic effects need to be considered. Operations management literature on efficiency effects is not hard to find but literature describing what other factors can affect the decision is more scarce. Even less literature can be found on the theme of deciding between direct or indirect physical flow
I investigate to what extent spiral arms might affect axisymmetric Galactic models. As we need fully dynamical and high resolution Galactic evolutionary models to probe the structure of the dark matter halo, it is important that we use accurate mass models describing the MW structure. Before reaching to that level of effort, a great deal can be learned from fitting mass and kinematic models to dat
Geographic information system multi-criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) procedure can combine criterion maps together and associated the criterion weights to acquire an overall value for each spatial location in the research area. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), Ordered Weighted averaging (OWA) are three generic algo

Single use, disposable food packaging comprises a significant portion of the global waste stream resulting from food consumption systems. In an attempt to devise a preventative approach to food retail waste management, niche zero packaging retailers have established shop across the world. Food provision through these retailers aims to generate negligible amounts of disposable packaging waste. Over

Forces such as globalisation, digitalisation and changes in consumer behaviour have led to a discussion among practitioners as well as scholars whether the physical retail place will stay relevant or even exist in the future. One way for brick-and-mortar retailers to stay competitive is to adopt new and innovative business models and formats, alongside a focus on the customer experience and how to
Title: Implementing Change In Organisations: A Study on Limiting Factors for Managers in the Service industry. Purpose: The overall purpose of this study is to have a deeper understanding of how change affects employees and an organisation and what are the factors could hinder such a change. This study will draw on the theory of Change Management, in particular, the model of Prosci ADKAR. Method
Thanks to the technical development, how people read text has changed drastically compared to what it used to be before. Today people don’t read books only, they also read on their mobile phones and on their computers. However, you can still see people with a physical book or books out in public; for example on a train, at a station or a library. It is also true that visual material such as advert
