Genes identified in Asian SLE GWASs are also associated with SLE in Caucasian populations
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) conducted in Asian populations have identified novel risk loci for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we genotyped 10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in eight such loci and investigated their disease associations in three independent Caucasian SLE case-control cohorts recruited from Sweden, Finland and the United States. The disease asso

Linking networks and plant roles: the impact of changing a plant role
Many manufacturing firms are expanding their global footprint to explore new opportunities for efficient and effective production. The strategic perspective on international manufacturing networks involves both the network level and the plant level. A key aspect is the relationship between the network and the role of plants. In this research, we investigate the relationship between the network and

Book-to-Market and Size Effect: Compensations for risks or outcomes of market inefficiencies
We employ the optimal orthogonal portfolio approach to investigate if the size and book-to-market effects in US data are related to risk factors beside the market risk. This method enables us to estimate the upper limit of the risk premium, due to observed as well as all possible unobserved factors, which can be derived from a linear asset pricing model. As a corollary, it is possible to divide th

Open innovation in software engineering: a systematic mapping study
Open innovation (OI) means that innovation is fostered by using both external and 5 internal influences in the innovation process. In software engineering (SE), OI has existed 6 for decades, while we currently see a faster and broader move towards OI in SE. We there- 7 fore survey research on how OI takes place and contributes to innovation in SE. This study 8 aims to synthesize the research knowl
Target-Attainment Rates of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Using Lipid-Lowering Drugs One Year After Acute Myocardial Infarction in Sweden
The objective of this prospective cohort study was to describe real-life use of lipid-lowering drugs and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target-attainment rates 1 year after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). LDL-C was recorded at hospital admission for AMI and at follow-up at 2 and 12 months after AMI in 17,236 patients in the Swedish heart registry, SWEDEHEART, from 2004 through 2009
Implicit stereotype content: Mixed stereotypes can be measured with the Implicit Association Test
The stereotype content model (SCM) postulates that stereotype content can be mixed in terms of diverging evaluations on the warmth and competence dimensions. The present study is the first to demonstrate this with implicit measures. Two Implicit Associations Tests (IATs) were developed, one capturing the warmth dimension and the other the competence dimension. Both IATs compared preschool teachers
Electronic structures of [001]- and [111]-oriented InSb and GaSb free-standing nanowires
We report on a theoretical study of the electronic structures of InSb and GaSb nanowires oriented along the [001] and [111] crystallographic directions. The nanowires are described by atomistic, tight-binding models, including spin-orbit interaction. The band structures and the wave functions of the nanowires are calculated by means of a Lanczos iteration algorithm. For the [001]-oriented InSb and
Increased risk of male cancer and identification of a potential prostate cancer cluster region in BRCA2.
The risk of cancer in men from BRCA1 and BRCA2 families is relevant to define to motivate genetic testing and optimize recommendations for surveillance.
Effect of physical exercise on workplace social capital: cluster randomized controlled trial
While workplace health promotion with group-based physical exercise can improve workers' physical health, less is known about potential carry-over effects to psychosocial factors. This study investigates the effect of physical exercise on social capital at work.
Intercalation of smectite with liquid ethylene glycol - Resolved in time and space by synchrotron X-ray diffraction
Using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction we studied the reaction of liquid ethylene glycol and smectite, i.e. (i) the time-resolved glycolation of Mg-smectite (Georgian Ibeco Seal M-90) films equilibrated to form hydrates with 0-3 water layers, and (ii) time and spatially resolved glycolation of homoionic Li-, Na-, K-, Mg-, and Ca-montmorillonite powders (Wyoming MX80) equilibrated to ambient at
Long-term Mobile Phone Use and Acoustic Neuroma Risk.
There is concern about potential effects of radiofrequency fields generated by mobile phones on cancer risk. Most previous studies have found no association between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma, although information about long-term use is limited.
Relationship Between Serum Response Factor and Androgen Receptor in Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND. Serum response factor (SRF) is an important transcription factor in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Since CRPC is associated with androgen receptor (AR) hypersensitivity, we investigated the relationship between SRF and AR. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Transcriptional activity was assessed by luciferase assay. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT and flow cytometry. Protein expr
Incidence Trends of Squamous Cell and Rare Skin Cancers in the Swedish National Cancer Registry Point to Calendar Year and Age-Dependent Increases
Little is known regarding the incidence trends of squamous cell skin carcinoma (SCC) and rare skin tumors, including Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). The purpose of this study was to examine recent incidence trends for these cancers from 1990 to 2005 using the population-based Swedish National Cancer Registry. SCC incidence increased significantly over the st
Phase diagram of a rapidly rotating two-component Bose gas
We derive analytically the phase diagram of a two-component Bose gas confined in an anharmonic potential, which becomes exact and universal in the limit of weak interactions and small anharmonicity of the trapping potential. The transitions between the different phases, which consist of vortex states of single and multiple quantization, are all continuous because of the addition of the second comp
Low-Complexity Uncertainty-Set-Based Robust Adaptive Beamforming for Passive Sonar
Recent work has highlighted the potential benefits of exploiting ellipsoidal uncertainty-set-based robust Capon beamformer (RCB) techniques in passive sonar. Regrettably, the computational complexity required to form RCB weights is cubic in the number of adaptive degrees of freedom, which is often prohibitive in practice. For this reason, several low-complexity techniques for computing RCB weights
