Three metabolite patterns have previously shown prospective inverse associations with the risk of aggressive prostate cancer within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Here, we investigated dietary and lifestyle correlates of these three prostate cancer-related metabolite patterns, which included: 64 phosphatidylcholines and three hydroxysphingomyelins (Pattern

The building industry has a major environmental impact in terms of global energy use, carbon emissions, resource use, and the production of waste. To reach ambitious international environmental goals, the building industry faces a need for large-scale change. Circular strategies for buildings include using building and materials longer through lifetime extension strategies, reuse, sharing, renovat

Introduction: Successful aging is a multidimensional construct covering behavioral, social, and psychological domains of well-being. We aimed to identify well-being profiles and their association with mobility-limitation free survival. Methods: A total of 1488 healthy individuals aged 60+ from the Swedish National study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen (SNAC-K) were followed-up for 15 years. Mobil

The purpose of this study is to investigate how a regional knowledge base of information and communication technologies (ICTs) influences the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in European regions. Relying on patent data and studying the knowledge production of AI technologies in 233 European regions in the period from 1994 to 2017, our study reveals three results. First, ICTs

The molecular mechanisms regulating key fate decisions of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) remain incompletely understood. Here, we targeted global shRNA libraries to primary human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) to screen for modifiers of self-renewal and differentiation, and identified metastasis-associated 1 (MTA1) as a negative regulator of human HSPC propagation in vitro. Knock

Quantified indicators are increasingly used for performance evaluations in the science sectors worldwide. However, relatively little information is available on the expanding use of research metrics in certain transition countries. Central Asia is a post-Soviet region where newly independent states achieved lower research performance relative to comparators in key indicators of productivity and in

Water is a key element for wood performance, as water molecules interact with the wood structure and affect important material characteristics such as mechanical properties and durability. Understanding wood-water interactions is consequently essential for all applications of wood, including the design of wood materials with improved durability by chemical modification. In this work, we used Raman

Current scholarship on race in Europe has described race as an “absent presence”. However, little is known about the dynamics of the absentness and presentness of race, including how various social processes operating at distinct levels (e.g., supranational and national) influence the uses of race and ethnicity concepts. We begin addressing this gap by examining racialised pharmaceutical regulatio

This paper studies how degraded material properties in near proximity to the cut edge influence the torque performance of an axial-flux induction machine. The magnetically degraded areas are characterized using a layering approach, where the magnetic hysteresis curve describing the material is remodeled so that the field strength required to reach a specific value of magnetic flux density is incre

This document presents a tutorial on case study research methodology in software engineering, held at the 10th International Conference on Product Focused Software Development and Process Improvement (Profes).

The Personal Software Process (PSP) is launched as a means for improving software development capabilities for the individual engineer. It is proposed that it should be used in software engineering curricula: some authors propose it to be used already during the first student year: The PSP course is successfully given for graduate students at Lund University since 1996. During the spring semester

Reuse of different types of experience is a key issue in successful improvement in software engineering. The approach taken in the Quality Improvement Paradigm (QIP) and its supporting organisation, tile Experience Factory (EF), is to define an Experience Base (EB), where all types of reusable objects are organised and stored. The objects may be of any type related to software development, for exa
