Effect of autoimmune diseases on mortality and survival in subsequent digestive tract cancers

Patients with some autoimmune diseases (AIDs) are at increased risk of cancer, possibly a result of an underlying dysregulation of the immune system, medication, treatment or, probably, surveillance bias. Data on cancer mortality and survival in patients previously diagnosed with AIDs would provide novel information on these comorbidities and their clinical implications. Standardized mortality rat

The ozone ring closure as a test for multi-state multi-configurational second order perturbation theory (MS-CASPT2)

The open and closed forms of ozone and the path connecting them through a transition state, in C-2v symmetry, are explored using the multi-state, multi-configurational second order perturbative method, MS-CASPT2. It is demonstrated that, by using an ANO-L triple-zeta basis set, it is possible to set up an active space able to describe the otherwise troublesome transition state region. Both a conic

Dijet angular distributions at root s=14 TeV

We present a Monte Carlo study of dijet angular distributions at root s = 14 TeV. First we perform a next-to- leading order QCD study; we calculate the distributions in four different bins of dijet invariant mass using different Monte Carlo programs and different jet algorithms, and we also investigate the systematic uncertainties coming from the choice of the parton distribution functions and the

Benefits of supplementing an industrial waste anaerobic digester with energy crops for increased biogas production.

Currently, there is increasing competition for waste as feedstock for the growing number of biogas plants. This has led to fluctuation in feedstock supply and biogas plants being operated below maximum capacity. The feasibility of supplementing a protein/lipid-rich industrial waste (pig manure, slaughterhouse waste, food processing and poultry waste) mesophilic anaerobic digester with carbohydrate

Developing an approach for Sweden, Switzerland, United States and France for setting critical loads based on biodiversity including management, pollution and climate change

The integrated dynamic ecosystem model ForSAFE-VEG was used to estimate critical loads for nitrogen using different chemical and biological criteria, and attempting to account for possible effects of climate change. The study is based on a model application on sites used for critical loads assessments in Sweden and France, focusing on the ecological effect of nitrogen pollution. To assess critical

Carbon dynamics in mycorrhizal symbioses is linked to carbon costs and phosphorus benefits

Abstract The nutrient and carbon (C) allocation dynamics in mycorrhizal hyphal networks cause variation in costs and benefits for individual plants and fungi and influence the productivity, diversity and C cycling in ecosystems. We manipulated light and phosphorus (P) availability in a pot experiment with Trifolium subterraneum colonised by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus intraradice

Expression of caspase-3 predicts prognosis in advanced noncardia gastric cancer

There is strong evidence that tumor growth is not only a result of uncontrolled cell proliferation but also of decreased apoptosis. Caspase-3 is a member of interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme which is involved in the induction of apoptosis. Data on the expression of caspase-3 in patients with gastric cancer and its association with patient outcome are somewhat contradictory. We aimed to investig

Multiple Miscarriages Are Associated with the Risk of Ovarian Cancer: Results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition

While the risk of ovarian cancer clearly reduces with each full-term pregnancy, the effect of incomplete pregnancies is unclear. We investigated whether incomplete pregnancies (miscarriages and induced abortions) are associated with risk of epithelial ovarian cancer. This observational study was carried out in female participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition

Abstract in German A.J. spannt in seinen Reflexionen zu den Phasen der Kirchenreform in den skandinavischen Ländern einen weiten Bogen, der die Ausgangslage seit der frühen Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart anhand der Wandlungsprozesse im Verständnis der staatskirchlichen Ordnungen in Schweden, Dänemark und Norwegen nachzeichnet. Herausfordernd ist u.a. seine These, dass die schwedische Kirche trotz ei

Influence of Ligand Substitution on Excited State Structural Dynamics in Cu(I) Bisphenanthroline Complexes

This study explores the influences of steric hindrance and excited state solvent ligation on the excited state dynamics of Cu(I) diimine complexes. Ultrafast excited state dynamics of Cu(I)bis(3,8-di(ethynyltrityl)-1,10-phenanthroline) [Cu(I)(detp)(2)](+) are measured using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The steady state electronic absorption spectra and measured lifetimes are comp

Med skilda tungors ljud : körsång och gudstjänstspråk

This volume 88 of the Yearbook for Swedish Liturgical Life is dedicated to choir singing and multi-lingual church services. It includes articles by Sune Fahlgren, Rolf Larsson, Gunnel Fagius, Ralf Thiedemann and Mikael Isacson. All articles are in Swedish with summary in English.

Measured indoor hygrothermal conditions and occupancy levels in an arctic Swedish multi-family building

As requirements regarding energy efficiency are getting tougher, buildings in the arctic, as well as the rest of the world, need to be more energy efficient without compromising a good indoor climate. This article presents measured moisture supply and occupancy level in a Swedish arctic multi-family apartment block. Measurements were done over 1 year every 30 minutes in a building consisting of 51
