A single probe for imaging photons, electrons and physical forces
The combination of complementary measurement techniques has become a frequent approach to improve scientific knowledge. Pairing of the high lateral resolution scanning force microscopy (SFM) with the spectroscopic information accessible through scanning transmission soft x-ray microscopy (STXM) permits assessing physical and chemical material properties with high spatial resolution. We present pro
The patenting performance of second-generation immigrants in Sweden: differentiated by parents’ region of origin
Children of immigrants inherit human capital attainment from their parents that impact on their innovative performance. Some of this stem from their migrant parents’ positive and negative selection traits, part from their physical or cognitive proximity of country of origin to the host society. In this paper, I examine how second-generation immigrants (with at least one foreign-born parent), takin

Communicating risk in disaster risk management systems – experimental evidence of the perceived usefulness of risk descriptions
Disaster risk management (DRM) requires the collaboration of a variety of stakeholders working in different sectors. They depend on each other to share risk information, and effective collaboration requires efficient communication. Clearly, the communication of risk descriptions is a key issue for the success of DRM activities. This study investigated the communication of risk-related information
C-type Lectin Receptor Expression on Human Basophils and Effects of Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy
Basophils are emerging as immunoregulatory cells capable of interacting with their environment not only via their characteristic IgE-mediated activation, but also in an IgE-independent manner. Basophils are known to express and respond to stimulation via TLR2, TLR4, DC-SIGN and DCIR, but whether basophils also express other C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) is largely unknown. In this study, we inves
Cultural homegarden management practices mediate arthropod communities in Indonesia
Tropical forest loss and transformation to agroecosystems have serious impacts on biodiversity, associated ecosystem services and the livelihood of local people. The high crop plant biodiversity and low intensity management in many homegardens could play an important role in the preservation of biodiversity in modified landscapes, as well as sustain food security of low income households. In this
Assessment of psychosocial exposure: how to escape the triviality trap?
Does depression severity predict differences between individual and work-unit averaged measures of the psychosocial work environment?
Demonstration of hexagonal phase silicon carbide nanowire arrays with vertical alignment
SiC nanowire based electronics hold promise for data collection in harsh environments wherein conventional semiconductor platforms would fail. However, the full adaptation of SiC nanowires as a material platform necessitates strict control of nanowire crystal structure and orientation for reliable performance. Toward such efforts, we report the growth of hexagonal phase SiC nanowire arrays grown w

French summer droughts since 1326 CE : A reconstruction based on tree ring cellulose δ18O
The reconstruction of droughts is essential for the understanding of past drought dynamics and can help evaluate future drought scenarios in a changing climate. This article presents a reconstruction of summer droughts in France based on annually resolved, absolutely dated chronologies of oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O) in tree ring cellulose from Quercus spp. Samples were taken from living trees and

Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and genetic predisposition to obesity in 2 Swedish cohorts
Background: The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), which has increased substantially during the last decades, has been associated with obesity and weight gain. Objective: Common genetic susceptibility to obesity has been shown to modify the association between SSB intake and obesity risk in 3 prospective cohorts from the United States. We aimed to replicate these findings in 2 large
Mendelian randomization in relation to androgens and suicidal behavior in males
Incidence and risk factors for thromboembolism and major bleeding in patients with mechanical valve prosthesis : A nationwide population-based study
Risk factors of stroke/thromboembolism (TE) and major bleeding, and incidence of these events in specific age categories in warfarin-treated patients with mechanical heart valves (MHV) are uncertain. Our objective was to calculate event rates in specific age categories and identify risk factors for adverse events. Methods and results We identified 4,810 treatment periods with MHV between January 2
