Although CD8+ T cell tolerance to tissue-specific antigen (TSA) is essential for host homeostasis, the mechanisms underlying peripheral cross-tolerance and whether they may differ between tissue sites remain to be fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that peripheral cross-tolerance to intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)–derived antigen involves the generation and suppressive function of FoxP3+CD8+

In this explorative paper, we examine the emerging body of scholarship that has recently started incorporating more-than-human perspectives in the nexus of law, society, and animals. While ‘more-than-human’ refers to a plurality of theoretical positions, for our purpose we take these positions to reflect the attempt to move away from human exceptionalism in favour of a multispecies account of the

ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION Globally, 20% of women who become pregnant are obese at the time of conception. The prevalence of women becoming pregnant after gastric bypass (GBP) surgery has been increasing. Little is known regarding women’s experiences of pregnancy after GBP surgery and midwives can expect to care for an increasing number of women with prior GBP surgery. Midwives play an important role in

In Zimbabwe common mental disorders are prevalent among adolescents and the treatment gap is large. The recently introduced Youth Friendship Bench intervention (YouFB) addresses this gap by task-shifting youth lay health workers to offer a culturally contextualised, manual-based, six-session problem-solving therapy to adolescents, 16-19 years of age. The aim of this study was to explore participanIn Zimbabwe common mental disorders are prevalent among adolescents and the treatment gap is large.

In an attempt to summarize and draw preliminary conclusions from the many fine responses to my article ‘Stop evaluating science’, this short piece brings some additional reflections on the topic with the primary intent not to close the debate but to keep it open. Discussing, in turn, three main topics of the responses and an additional topic that arguably is of particular interest, the article’s i

The goal of this work is to specify and investigate suitability of a number of selected permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) topologies to be mounted directly on a low pressure shaft (LPS) of a geared turbofan engine. The starting point of the work is to explore the status of electrical machines for more electric engine in order to study different design aspects when identifying and defininThe goal of this work is to specify and investigate suitability of a number of selected permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) topologies to be mounted directly on a low pressure shaft (LPS) of a geared turbofan engine.

Gene-expression profiling can be used to classify human tumors into molecular subtypes or risk groups, representing potential future clinical tools for treatment prediction and prognostication. However, it is less well-known how prognostic gene signatures derived in one malignancy perform in a pan-cancer context. In this study, a gene-rule-based single sample predictor (SSP) called classifier for

Collections of sayings of the desert fathers and mothers are extant in manuscripts in many languages and are organized differently. They are ‘fixed-content miscellanies’ (FCM): they include material that belongs to the same genre, but is variable both when it comes to appearance and order. Distance measurement methods are particularly suitable for large text traditions including variable content i

In 1975, Sweden extended voting rights in local elections to immigrants without Swedish citizenship (resident aliens). In this essay, motives behind the reform are analysed and it is argued that these were based on a wish to speed up the integration of immigrants rather than on normative ideas about the nature of democracy. In fact, the reform was seen as a part of the emerging Swedish integration

Clinical expertise has since 1891 a Swedish counterpart in proven experience. This study aims to increase our understanding of clinicians’ views of their professional expertise, both as a source or body of knowledge and as a skill or quality. We examine how Swedish healthcare personnel view their expertise as captured by the (legally and culturally relevant) Swedish concept of “proven experience,”Clinical expertise has since 1891 a Swedish counterpart in proven experience.

Cell immobilization and co-culture techniques have gained attention due to its potential to obtain high volumetric hydrogen productivities (QH2). Chitosan retained biomass in the fermentation of co-cultures of Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus and C. owensensis efficiently, up to a maximum dilution rate (D) of 0.9 h−1. Without chitosan, wash out of the co-culture occurred earlier, accompanied w

We propose that leaders play a more important role in voters' party sympathy in proportional representation systems (PR) than previous research has suggested. Voters, from the 2018 Swedish General Election, were in an experiment asked to describe leaders and parties with three indicative keywords. Statistical models were conducted on these text data to predict their vote choice. The results show t

Different types of well-being are likely to be associated with different kinds of behaviors. The first objective of this study was, from a subjective well-being perspective, to examine whether harmony in life and satisfaction with life are related differently to cooperative behaviors depending on individuals' social value orientation. The second objective was, from a methodological perspective, to

The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently released its annual threat assessment, in which Iran is mentioned no fewer than 60 times as part of a “diverse array of threats” facing the US. Iran is moving toward its goal of full domination of Iraq and the expulsion of the last remaining US forces from that country, a result that would represent a great success for the Islamic Rep
