In a recent paper, Fack et al. (2019, American Economic Review) convincingly argue and theoretically demonstrate that there may be strong incentives for students to play non-truth-telling strategies when reporting preferences over schools, even when the celebrated deferred acceptance algorithm is employed. Their statistical test also rejects the (weak) truth-telling assumption in favour of another

Aims/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to assess the interaction between melatonin receptor 1B gene (MTNR1B) rs10830963 polymorphism and lifestyle intervention during pregnancy on occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in high-risk women. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of the randomised controlled gestational diabetes prevention trial ‘RADIEL’, conducted between 2008 and 2014

YAP and TAZ are transcriptional coactivators controlled by the Hippo signaling pathway and by actin dynamics, and that are critical for cell growth and organ size control. YAP and TAZ are exquisitely sensitive to mechanical cues, such as substrate stiffness and shear stress, and the realization is growing that they play roles in arterial remodeling and aneurysm formation. This chapter discusses ho

Background: As much as 40–50% of children are expected to sustain fractures during growth. A childhood fracture is alsoassociated with high risk of fractures in adult life. Previous research has shown that fracture incidence has not been stable andsome studies suggest that this has also continued during recent decades.Aims: The aim of this thesis was therefore to describe fracture epidemiology and

In the past couple of decades, major efforts were made to increase reliability of metabolic assessments by magnetic resonance methods. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been valuable for providing in vivo evidence and investigating biomarkers in neuropsychiatric disorders, namely schizophrenia. Alterations of glutamate and glutamine levels in brains of schizophrenia patients relative to he

Since the 1990s, researchers have presented compelling links between reduced accessibility, transport disadvantage and social exclusion. This evidence has seen the transport equity policy agenda gain momentum in both the transport research and policy discourses. In tandem with this trend has come an increasing focus on accessibility to out-of-home activities as opposed to realised mobility in term

Volcanic eruptions are documented throughout geological history and are frequently observed and experienced in the modernworld. Strong eruptions in recent decades have resulted in air and water pollution, acid snowfall, disruption in aerial transport and variousillnesses in humans and livestock. Despite their consequences, these recent events are incomparable to eruptions of a much largermagnitude
