Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is associated with other autoimmune endocrine diseases such as type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CeD). Thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies (TPOA) are biomarkers of AITD but may also occur in patients with other autoimmune diseases. We examined cross-sectional correlations between TPOA and an array of immune markers in a cohort of 90 children with exclusively

In some languages, prosodic cues on word stems can be used to predict upcoming suffixes. Previous studies have shown that second language (L2) users can process such cues predictively in their L2 from approximately intermediate proficiency. This ability may depend on the mapping of the L2 prosody onto first language (L1) perceptual and functional prosodic categories. Taking as an example the Danis

Introduction: The climate and biodiversity crises are interconnected, unprecedented, existential threats that cause disturbing emotions, such as anxiety, grief, and anger. While there is increasing research about antecedents and outcomes of such eco-emotions, less is known about how to cope with them constructively, to benefit both mental health and pro-environmental action. Objectives: This study

The increasing global concern for greenhouse gas emissions has led to a fast pace in the transition away from fossil fuels in the transport sector. The share of electric passenger cars is increasing quickly, introducing new loads on the power grid. These loads primarily appear at the distribution grid level, where most of the charging occurs in the form of overnight charging at home. Although the

Despite being the leading cause of death worldwide, cancer still lacks precise biomarkers for effective targeting, limiting efforts to reduce mortality rates. This review explores the role and clinical significance of a newly identified long non-coding RNA, MYOSLID, in cancer progression. MYOSLID has emerged as a critical modulator in cancer progression by influencing key hallmarks such as prolife

This thesis illuminates the deliberative democratic ideal's claim for efficiency and legitimacy that is brought forward by Robyn Eckersley and John S. Dryzek as being an essential brick in the struggle for a societal development that is ecologically sustainable. The take off lies in the belief that the current liberal democracy is incapable of responding sufficiently to the ecological problems

The purpose of this study was to get a client perspective of the different ways to exit from a different role as a drugabuser, and furthermore, how to maintain a drugfree life. The questions of issue were: - What kind of social-psychological conceptions rules the process? - Which motive powers are essential to maintain drug-independence? - Are there any difficulties on the path to social adapt
