Technological innovation increasingly depends on multiscalar actor networks and institutions. However, the developers of many conceptual frameworks explaining innovation success have paid only limited attention to this new reality, due to their focus on regions and countries as agents that shape innovation governance and as containers that provide institutional conditions for innovation success. I

Increased incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue has been reported in young adults (YA) in several countries since the 1980s and confirmed in later studies. The etiology is unclear, the prognosis has been debated, and conflicting results have been published. Some studies show better survival in young adults than in older patients, some worse, and others no difference. Most studie

Leading change in relation to assessment is a significant challenge; almost everyone in the university is a stakeholder and they may have strong and varied views about how assessment should be managed. A baseline review of assessment practices at a large, diverse, and complex university showed that the prevailing culture around assessment was equivocal and that people were fearful of large-scale c

Våra röda blodkroppar lever i genomsnitt 120 dagar och bryts därefter ner avmakrofagerna, immunsystemets medfödda städare av både främmande och egnaceller. De röda blodkropparnas uppgift är att transportera syre från lungorna tillkroppens olika vävnader och föra tillbaka koldioxid. Men vad händer om de rödablodkropparna bryts ner ovanligt snabbt eller helt enkelt inte produceras i tillräckligtsnabRed blood cells are are plentiful, flexible and essential. They are the most abundant cell in our body and their mainobject is to carry oxygen, which is essential for cellular respiration. The formation of red blood cells is callederythropoiesis. Erythropoiesis is intimately coupled to cell division and mitochondrial function. Aberrations in thesetwo processes are often associated with red blood c

The parents’ attitude toward vaccinating children and adolescents against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains inconsistent and needs further elucidation. The high rates of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region require intensive research to understand the determinants of this phenomenon. This study aimed to validate a version of the Parent Attitudes ab

This article investigates the translation of Good Night Storiesfor Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women, a children’s bookwritten and published by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo in 2016.Within the framework of Gideon Toury’s Descriptive Translation Studiesand Katharina Reiss’ text typology, the study focuses on the Swedish trans-lation Godnattsagor för rebelltjejer: 100 berättelser o

OBJECTIVE: To investigate plasma levels of circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (ccf-mtDNA) in patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD) and healthy controls (HC).METHODS: In this study, 88 participants (46 patients with SAD and 42 HCs) were enrolled and both ccf-mtDNA and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) mtDNA copy number (mtDNA-cn) were measured at up to three times per individual

Music in different forms is significant in young people’s lives. Due to the media revolution in our modern society, children of today learn a lot about music on their own by taking part in an increasing production of musical cultures. In this paper different forms of play is applied as a way to reach a deeper understanding of children’s creative music making. This article describes a 2-year empiri

In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) investigations have been performed to provide insights into the reaction mechanism of a palladium(ii) catalyzed undirected C-H acetoxylation reaction in the presence of an oxidant. A Pd(ii) N-heterocyclic carbene complex π-stacked onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was used as the catalyst. The Pd speciation during the catalytic process was examined by XA

This study explores the possibility that the delayed hypoperfusion observed after an ischemic insult might be due to vasoconstriction induced by the release of noradrenaline from nerves originating in the locus ceruleus. Bilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the ascending bundles from the locus ceruleus were carried out in the caudal mesencephalon of rats. Local CBF was measured with an autoradio

In search of factors influencing the outcome of an ischemic insult, we induced 10 min of forebrain ischemia in rats and assessed neuronal necrosis by quantitative histopathology after 1 week of recovery. Procedures for inducing ischemia included bilateral carotid artery clamping and reduction of blood pressure to 40–50 mm Hg by bleeding. To facilitate rapid lowering of blood pressure, a ganglionic

This chapter focuses on the use of doped carbon nanomaterials in catalysis. The availability of carbon nanotubes in the ‘90s and graphene about 10 years later, prompted the development of fundamental research and novel nanotechnologies. We discuss this topic from a point of view that links fundamental surface science to the field of catalysis, in order to present the state of the art.
