Cellular function is generally depicted at the level of functional pathways and detailed structural mechanisms, based on the identification of specific protein-protein interactions. For an individual protein searching for its partner, however, the perspective is quite different: The functional task is challenged by a dense crowd of nonpartners obstructing the way. Adding to the challenge, there is
Background: The Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) is a frequently used patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for assessment of hip disorders and treatment effects following hip surgery. The objective of the study was to translate and adapt the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) into Polish and to investigate the psychometric properties of the HOOS in pati
Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited late-onset neurological disorder characterized by progressive neuronal loss and disruption of cortical and basal ganglia circuits. Cell replacement using human embryonic stem cells may offer the opportunity to repair the damaged circuits and significantly ameliorate disease conditions. Here, we showed that in-vitro-differentiated human striatal progenitors u
Introduction This study aims to clarify the role(s) of endogenous sex hormones to influence health outcomes in men, specifically to define the associations of plasma testosterone with incidence of cardiovascular events, cancer, dementia and mortality risk, and to identify factors predicting testosterone concentrations. Data will be accrued from at least three Australian, two European and four Nort
Seagrass systems are integral components of both local and global carbon cycles and can substantially modify seawater biogeochemistry, which has ecological ramifications. However, the influence of seagrass on porewater biogeochemistry has not been fully described, and the exact role of this marine macrophyte and associated microbial communities in the modification of porewater chemistry remains eq
We describe a number of research projects at Lund Univer- sity Cognitive Science. The first project focuses on visual attention. The second area is haptic perceptions by robots. The third area is anticipation in groups of robots. The final research area concerns building computa- tional tools that can be used to design large-scale cognitive models which will ultimately allow results from the diffe
The present paper shows that cross‐section demeaning with respect to time fixed effects is more useful than commonly appreciated, in that it enables consistent and asymptotically normal estimation of interactive effects models with heterogeneous slope coefficients when the number of time periods, T , is small and only the number of cross‐sectional units, N , is large. This is important when using
Because of the increased availability of large panel data sets, common factor models have become very popular. The workhorse of the literature is the principal components (PC) method, which is based on an eigen-analysis of the sample covariance matrix of the data. Some of its uses are to estimate the factors and their loadings, to determine the number of factors, and to conduct inference when esti
We studied mutation kinetics in ten relapsing and four non-relapsing patients with acute myeloid leukemia by whole exome sequencing at diagnosis to identify leukemia-specific mutations and monitored selected mutations at multiple time-points using IBSAFE droplet digital PCR. Five to nine selected mutations could identify and track leukemic clones prior to clinical relapse in 10/10 patients at the
Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EEs) are expected to support high growth entrepreneurship. Yet, little is known about how they actually promote entrepreneurial activities. Based on Giddens’ structuration theory, this paper takes the entrepreneurs’ perspective to understand how they actually use the resources provided by an EE. Based on semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs and other relevant a
The main aims with this book are to compare source materials, databases and research results, as well as creating new opportunities for collaboration in the field of social and population history in the East and the West. All the contributions are based on nominative source material, mainly censuses and vital records, which have been preserved, scanned, transcribed into databases in order to be us
This thesis includes a compilation of four publications with a long-term perspective on the mechanisms of social reproduction and the general trends of socioeconomic inequality in the Barcelona area between the fifteenth and the nineteenth centuries. The familial mechanisms of social reproduction encompass economic, institutional, legal, political, and/or cultural mechanisms for maintaining, impro
Resum:The role of the family in both individual social status attainment and labor careers during industrialization was questioned by the Modernization theory. Accordingly, familial nuclearization was argued to be one of the causes. However, little has been said on this topic regarding societies in which stem or joint families were important as in the case of Southern Europe. This article studies
