Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to revise the concept of positioning to differentiate between fundamental approaches to it and chart a scheme of schools of positioning. Design/methodology/approach – An extensive literature review traces the roots and evolution of the concept. Two approaches to positioning are explored and related to the paradigms of market and brand orientation. Based on c
Background: Multivariable prediction models are used in oral health care to identify individuals with an increased likelihood of caries increment. The outcomes of the models should help to manage individualized interventions and to determine the periodicity of service. The objective was to review and critically appraise studies of multivariable prediction models of caries increment. Methods: Longi
Background: The purpose of this study was to analyse if there is a relationship between the directions of windswept hip deformity and scoliosis for children with cerebral palsy (CP) and to explore potential associations with spasticity, contractures and hip displacement. Methods: A cross-sectional registry-based study was conducted using data from the combined Swedish CP Follow-up Program and Nati
Laminins are basement membrane components that regulate a plethora of biological processes. Despite decades of research, the exact roles of laminins in different tissues and in organogenesis remain to be elucidated. Here, we investigated the function of laminin γ1 chain in heart, lung and other tissues by generating a mouse that lacks laminin γ1 in cells expressing SM22α (Tagln) (LMγ1 flox/SM22α C
I svensk rätt gäller som huvudregel att ett avtal endast är bindande mellan parterna. Så är fallet även vad gäller skiljeavtal. Vissa typsituationer, till exempel singularsuccession och borgen, kan ge upphov till frågan om någon som inte skrivit under ett skiljeavtal (en icke-signatär) trots allt är skiljebunden. En följdfråga som uppstår är om icke-signatärens skiljebundenhet förutsätter att ickeUnder Swedish law, an agreement is in principle binding only between the parties. This also applies to arbitration agreements. However, in certain typical situations, such as party substitution by way of singular succession and guarantee liability, the question arises as to whether a non-signatory to the arbitration agreement is bound by it. A related issue is whether a non-signatory may be bound
Within the European Human Biomonitoring (HBM) Initiative HBM4EU we derived HBM indicators that were designed to help answering key policy questions and support chemical policies. The result indicators convey information on chemicals exposure of different age groups, sexes, geographical regions and time points by comparing median exposure values. If differences are observed for one group or the oth
In x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), identifying the origin of peaks in the spectrum can be guided by theory calculations. With density functional theory (DFT), using pseudopotentials, one can obtain the difference in photoelectron energy for electrons originating from atoms of different environments, for example surface and bulk atoms, and thus model the surface core level shift (SCLS) ener
Background A large number of observational epidemiological studies have reported generally positive associations' between circulating mass and activity levels of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Few studies have been large enough to provide reliable estimates in different circumstances, such as in different subgroups (e.g., by age group

Objectives: This study evaluated if selecting the left ventricular (LV) target segment by echocardiography-derived late mechanical activation, with access to multimodality imaging for scar and venous anatomy, could help to increase responder rates to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Background: LV lead placement is important for clinical outcome, but the optimal strategy for LV lead placem
Background: Activated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3) is often present in breast cancer, but its prognostic impact is still unclear. We investigated how breast tumor-specific pSTAT3Y705 levels are associated with patient and tumor characteristics and risk of recurrence. Materials and Methods: Primary breast cancer patients without preoperative treatment were included pr
BACKGROUND: Symptoms of anxiety, irritability, and agitation (AIA) are prevalent among patients with bipolar I disorder (BD-I) mania with depressive symptoms, and could potentially be used to aid physicians in the identification of this more severe form of BD-I. Using data from two clinical trials, the aims of this post hoc analysis were to describe the phenomenology of bipolar mania in terms of A
The secondary structure of proteins is crucial for proper function of the protein in biological systems. Peptide T, an octapeptide from the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of the HIV virus, has previously been shown to be responsible for binding to the CD4 receptor on T helper/inducer lymphocytes. NMR studies showed that the four C-terminal amino acid residues of peptide T adopted a beta-turn conforma
BACKGROUND: Caffeine is believed to be neuroprotective in preterm and term infants, despite the conflicting data on its effects on the developing brain in animal models. We aimed to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis assessing the effects of caffeine on the prevention and treatment of neurological morbidity caused by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in preclinical studies.METHODS:
Purpose: Early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) differ in neuropathological burden and type of cognitive deficits. Assessing tau pathology and relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measured with [18F]flortaucipir PET in relation to cognition may help explain these differences between EOAD and LOAD. Methods: Seventy-nine amyloid-positive individuals with a cl
Streams, rivers and lakes across wide areas of the Northern hemisphere have been subject to an increase in water color over the last decades. This increase, also known as browning, is a result of rising dissolved organic matter (DOM) and iron (Fe) concentrations in the water. Over the years, browning has received ample attention due to its impact on the structure and function of freshwater ecosyst
Fertility restoration using autologous testicular tissue transplantation is relevant for infertile men surviving from childhood cancer and, possibly, in men with absent or incomplete spermatogenesis resulting in the lack of spermatozoa in the ejaculate (non-obstructive azoospermia, NOA). Currently, testicular tissue from pre-pubertal boys extracted before treatment with gonadotoxic cancer therapy
National greenhouse gas inventories (GHGIs) are submitted annually to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They are estimated in compliance with Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodological guidance using activity data, emission factors and facility-level measurements. For some sources, the outputs from these calculations are very uncertain. Invers
