The aim of this chapter is to present industrial relations as a field of research to labour law researchers, and to discuss current research topics and identify areas for future research. In doing so, the chapter will also explore questions such as: What may an industrial relations-perspective in labour law research entail? When is an industrial relations-perspective fruitful in labour law researc

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from autoimmune destruction of β cells. Insufficient availability of biomarkers represents a significant gap in understanding the disease cause and progression. We conduct blinded, two-phase case-control plasma proteomics on the TEDDY study to identify biomarkers predictive of T1D development. Untargeted proteomics of 2,252 samples from 184 individuals identify 376 re

In this popular science research-based article, I explore the multi-faceted roles of nature in fostering sustainable peace and human rights in Northern Uganda. I look into other roles that ‘nature’ might play beyond its conventional association with natural resources and biodiversity. In post-armed conflict settings, where addressing gross human rights violations and reconstructing the economy and

The aim of this paper is to discuss the unexploited forces of user-orientation and shared responsibility to promote sustainable value co-creation during service innovation projects in welfare service ecosystems. The framework is based on the theoretical field of public service logic (PSL) and our thesis is that service innovation seriously requires a user-oriented approach, and that such an approa

BACKGROUND: Smoking cessation treatment is an important prognostic factor for survival after a cancer diagnosis, especially for tobacco-related cancers. After being diagnosed with lung cancer, approximately 50% of patients continue smoking or frequently relapse after a quit attempt. Given the importance of smoking cessation treatment for cancer survivors, the objective was to compare the effective

Histopathological diagnosis of pulmonary tumors is essential for treatment decisions. The distinction between primary lung adenocarcinoma and pulmonary metastasis from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract may be difficult. Therefore, we compared the diagnostic value of several immunohistochemical markers in pulmonary tumors. Tissue microarrays from 629 resected primary lung cancers and 422 resected pul

My study of serving and drinking reveals that within ritual in the Roman Iron Age were inherently extensive non-ceremonial social practices, and many twisted facets of the public and private that we have learned to know from former studies. The variations in vessel composition in the drinking sets indicate a political-geographical distribution pattern for vessels of Roman origin. But, the drinking

Background and purpose: Motion management in the treatment of lung cancer is necessary to assure highest quality of the delivered radiation therapy. In this study, the breath-hold technique is experimentally investigated for pencil beam scanned (PBS) proton therapy, with respect to the dosimetric effect of residual breath-hold motion. Material and methods: Three-dimensional (3D)-printed tumours ex

Cell therapy for Parkinson's disease has experienced substantial growth in the past decades with several ongoing clinical trials. Despite increasing refinement of differentiation protocols and standardization of the transplanted neural precursors, the transcriptomic analysis of cells in the transplant after its full maturation in vivo has not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we present spatial

This study examines the interactions between correctional officers and prisoners during transport between prisons, from the staff’s perspective, based on a thematic analysis of 14 interviews with transport officers in Sweden. The three central themes in their stories regarding their work – namely, disciplinary discretion, interaction and compassion – were analysed by following the process of picki

Eye tracking studies suggest that refixations-fixations to locations previously visited-serve to recover information lost or missed during earlier exploration of a visual scene. These studies have largely ignored the role of precursor fixations-previous fixations on locations the eyes return to later. We consider the possibility that preparations to return later are already made during precursor f

BACKGROUND: Biobased 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (5-HMF) is an important platform that offers numerous possibilities for upgrading to a range of chemical, material and fuel products. One reaction of special interest is the carboligation of 5-HMF into C 12 compounds, including 5,5'-bis(hydroxymethyl)furoin (DHMF) and its subsequent oxidation to 5,5'-bis(hydroxymethyl)furil (BHMF), due to their potent

BACKGROUND: Public health policies and healthcare quality play a pivotal role on the health outcome level and disparities across sociodemographic groups. However, there is little evidence on their role on disparities in life expectancy (LE) and life disparity (LD) in low and middle income countries. The present study aimed to assess the contributions of avoidable mortality, as a measure of inter-s

Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is a common form of OA, for which education and exercise are considered the first-line treatment. The aim of the present study was to examine pain and perceived hand function in participants following 3 months of digitally delivered first-line treatment for hand OA. Three-hundred-and-seventy-nine of 846 participants with clinical signs and symptoms of hand OA completed the

Air ventilation garments (AVGs) are reported to be effective in improving thermal comfort in hot environments in previous research. The purpose of this study was to develop AVGs with small fan panels and examine their cooling performance. Three AVGs equipped with more, much smaller sized ventilation fans were developed, including FFV (ten small fans all located on the front body), BBV (ten small f

IntroductionNational and regional carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) surveillance is essential to understand the burden of antimicrobial resistance, elucidate outbreaks, and develop infection-control or antimicrobial-treatment recommendations.AimThis study aimed to describe CPE and their epidemiology in Norway from 2015 to 2021.MethodsA nationwide, population-based observational study
