Hard-working helpers contribute to long breeder lifespans in cooperative birds

In many species that raise young in cooperative groups, breeders live an exceptionally long time despite high investment in offspring production. How is this possible given the expected trade-off between survival and reproduction? One possibility is that breeders extend their lifespans by outsourcing parental care to non-reproductive group members. Having help lightens breeder workloads and the en

On-demand Key Distribution for Cloud Networks

Emerging fine-grained cloud resource billing creates incentives to review the software execution footprint in virtual environments. Operators can use novel virtual execution environments with ever lower overhead: from virtual machines to containers, to unikernels and serverless functions. However, the execution footprint of security mechanisms in virtualized deployments has either remained the sam

Touring the carbon ruins: towards an ethics of speculative decarbonisation

For many years, questions about the future have been marginalised within the social sciences: asking how we might live in a post-fossil society, or what are the key decisions and events that could take us there, has been seen as outside of the disciplinary scope. In this paper – which takes as its point of departure the ‘speculative turn’ that is increasingly inspiring a range of works, from fores

Does complete-staging lymphadenectomy improve survival outcomes in stage I endometrioid epithelial ovarian carcinoma? A multi-institutional retrospective study with propensity score-weighted analysis

BACKGROUND: We investigated the prognostic impact of complete-staging lymphadenectomy on patients with clinically apparent Stage I endometrioid epithelial ovarian carcinoma. METHODS: We conducted a regional multi-institutional retrospective study between 1986 and 2018. Amongst 4897 patients with malignant ovarian tumours diagnosed under central pathological review, 259 women with Stage I endometri

Divergence in Coding Sequence and Expression of Different Functional Categories of Immune Genes between Two Wild Rodent Species

Differences in immune function between species could be a result of interspecific divergence in coding sequence and/or expression of immune genes. Here, we investigate how the degree of divergence in coding sequence and expression differs between functional categories of immune genes, and if differences between categories occur independently of other factors (expression level, pleiotropy). To this

Children´s Rights in Education : Experiences from 16 countries in Global South during 18 years as researchers and teachers

The aim of this report book in Sociology of Law, and Child Rights Institute, Lund University, is to gather, sum up and report, in a summarizing overview in an introduction followed by three concluding articles, our main experiences as researchers and teachers after 2016.That year, 2016, the English version of the Sida-funded international training program, Child Rights, Classroom and School ManageThe aim of this report book in Sociology of Law, and Child Rights Institute, Lund University, is to gather, sum up and report, in a summarizing overview in an introduction followed by three concluding articles, our main experiences as researchers and teachers after 2016.That year, 2016, the English version of the Sida-funded international training program, Child Rights, Classroom and School Manage

Combined Etanercept, GAD-alum and vitamin D treatment : an open pilot trial to preserve beta cell function in recent onset type 1 diabetes

Aim: We aimed to study the feasibility and tolerability of a combination therapy consisting of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD-alum), Etanercept and vitamin D in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and evaluate preservation of beta cell function. Material and Methods: Etanercept Diamyd Combination Regimen is an open-labelled multi-centre study pilot trial whi

Association between Perceived Daylit Area and Self-reported Frequency of Electric Lighting Use in Multi-dwelling Buildings

This paper examines the association between daytime electric lighting use and perceived indoor daylight availability in residential spaces. In addition, occupant preferences were evaluated, in particular which rooms are prioritized in terms of daylight availability. The study deployed a questionnaire survey that was carried out in typical multi-dwelling apartment blocks in Malmö, Sweden (Latitude:

Commutator estimates on contact manifolds and applications

This article studies sharp norm estimates for the commutator of pseudo-differential operators with multiplication operators on closed Heisenberg manifolds. In particular, we obtain a Calderón commutator estimate: If D is a first-order operator in the Heisenberg calculus and f is Lipschitz in the Carnot–Carathéodory metric, then [D,f] extends to an L^2-bounded operator. Using interpolation, it impl

Radiographers’ academic development in Sweden : Towards and after a doctoral degree

Introduction: Radiography is a young discipline and having radiographers with a doctoral degree is central for its development. Academic development of this field in Sweden has been evolving. This study explored the diagnostic radiographers’ prerequisites for doctoral studies, post-doctoral employment and research activities. Methods: Data were collected through a questionnaire designed to give in
