Using a data set of 370 bioscience professors in Japan, this chapter investigates the effect of PhD training, early career job transition, and international mobility on a professor's probability of both placement at a highly ranked institution and promotion. We found that the prestige of the PhD institution is the best predictor for initial placement and that inbreeding is more common at prestigio

This study examines the determinants of exit from academic research that occurs when academic researchers move into positions in academe that concentrate on nonresearch activities such as teaching or administration or when researchers leave academia and move into industry. Drawing on career data for 14,000 Japanese PhD graduates in hard sciences (all scientific fields except social sciences and hu

The docking protein p140Cap negatively regulates tumour cell features. Its relevance on breast cancer patient survival, as well as its ability to counteract relevant cancer signalling pathways, are not fully understood. Here we report that in patients with ERBB2-amplified breast cancer, a p140Cap-positive status associates with a significantly lower probability of developing a distant event, and a

Approximately 1-5% of breast cancers are attributed to inherited mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 and are selectively sensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. In other cancer types, germline and/or somatic mutations in BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 (BRCA1/BRCA2) also confer selective sensitivity to PARP inhibitors. Thus, assays to detect BRCA1/BRCA2-deficient tumors have been sought. Recently,

In general, melanoma can be considered as a UV-driven disease with an aggressive metastatic course and high mutational load, with only few tumors (acral, mucosal, and uveal melanomas) not induced by sunlight and possessing a lower mutational load. The most commonly activated pathway in melanoma is the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. However, the prognostic significance of mutation

With regard to Scandinavian cinema and television, the last decades have been marked by the unexpected international appeal and unforeseen longevity of Scandinavian crime or Nordic noir as it is sometimes labeled. This development has paved the way for ever increasing financial and artistic collaboration within the audiovisual industries, especially among the Scandinavian countries. But it has als

Handledsbrott är den vanligaste frakturen på en akutmottagning. De yngre vuxna patienterna är jämnt fördelade mellan könen men de äldre har en övervikt av kvinnor. Hos de äldre men även i medelåldern uppstår frakturen företrädesvis i ett skelett med olika grad av benskörhet. Frakturen behandlas oftast med gips utan operation men drygt en femtedel opereras. Om felställningen är stor eller om fraktu
