Aims: Coping strategies may be significantly associated with health outcomes. This is the first study to investigate the association between baseline coping strategies and cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality in a general population cohort. Methods and results: The Japan Public Health Center-based prospective Study asked questions on coping in its third follow-up survey (2000- 04).

Background: Non-participants to psychosocial studies have been shown to have higher mortality, and mortality differs between partial and complete responders to psychosocial questionnaires. Yet, there is very little information available directly linking survey response status with completing suicide. Methods: The study population consisted of the participants of the Japanese Public Health Center-b

Purpose: Cross-sectional studies have shown an association between different coping styles and suicidal behavior. It is unknown whether there is any prospective association between coping behaviors and suicide in the general population. Methods: The study population consisted of participants of the Japanese Public Health Center-based Prospective Study. In the 10-year follow-up questionnaire, subje

The introductory and closing speeches during a conference dedicated to the legacy of the 1915 Genocide, its denial by the Turkish State.

We present a few-cycle high-repetition rate optical parametric amplifier for multiphoton PEEM experiments on semiconductor nanowires. This parametric amplifier is also used for the generation of high-order harmonics at 200kHz for future atto-PEEM experiments.

Located in the southeastern parts of the Baoulé Mossi domain of the West African Craton, the Birimian terrane in Ghana is known to consist of predominantly juvenile crust emplaced during the Eburnean orogeny. Here we present novel coupled zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope data from nine Birimian granitoids intruding different domains from northwestern, western and southeastern Ghana. Sub-chondritic e(

In this study, a tank-connected food waste disposer system with the objective to optimise biogas production and nutrient recovery from food waste in Malmö was evaluated. The project investigated the source-separation ratio of food waste through waste composition analyses, determined the potential biogas production in ground food waste, analysed the organic matter content and the limiting component

We have synthesized and evaluated in tissue phantom measurements a new type of Nd-codoped upconverting nanoparticles. They provide improved signal strengths from deep regions in a tissue phantom as compared to conventional upconverting nanoparticles, a result also suggesting they will provide less issues with heating the tissue during measurements.

Whereas existing business models for sustainability research have mainly focused on business model activities and sustainability outcomes for separate firms, we observe that alliances between small and large firms can influence a large firm's learning and dissemination of sustainable technologies, thereby contributing to the sustainable transformation of mass markets. According to the theoretical

The experiment aims to assess the tryptophan content of main cultivars of naked oat in China, and analyze the correlation between contents of tryptophan and protein. Oat flour was hydrolysed with papain, the fluorescence intensity of hydrolysate was detected at excitation wavelength of 288 nm and emission wavelength of 352 nm, and finally the tryptophan content was quantitated according to standar

Blood transfusion is a clinically significant and crucial process, which saves millions of lives every year. However,shortage of donated blood and the risk of virus transmission through transfusible blood seriously affect theavailability of the blood. Hemoglobin (Hb), owing to its oxygen carrying capacity, has been studied as a startingmaterial for the development of artificial blood substitutes/H

Baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a promising cell factory for the sustainable utilization of renewable resources for the formation of products with commercial value. Among these, poly-3-D-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is an extensively studied biopolymer naturally accumulated in some bacteria and archaea species through the formation of carbon granules. Its bio-based origin, biodegradability an

The main purpose of this study was to compare two non-invasive optical spectroscopic techniques for assessing peripheral oxygenation saturation in healthy volunteers under specific provocations. The results suggest that the time-resolved technique provides more accurate and robust results.

This paper brings forward a service oriented perspective, based on practical experiences from designing information systems (IS) as services. Viewing IS as services are beneficial but still an unexplored approach in organizations. In this paper, we present an analysis of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERPs) systems through the perspective of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). This paper contribut

The main purpose of this study was to investigate a novel non-invasive optical technique for rapid bedside detection of oxygen gas in the lungs of full-term newborn infants. The results suggest that the technique will be clinically useful as a diagnostic and monitoring tool for infants with lung disorders.

We study upscaling of gas high harmonic generation, to make efficient use of the ever increasing laser pulse powers. Loose focusing geometries optimizing phasematching are investigated and compared in HHG efficiency to shorter focusing arrangements.
