The purpose of this thesis is double. First, it will be shown that a number of problems of the syntax of ancient, literary Italian lend themselves readily to an analysis in terms of the Theory of Principles and Parameters. Second, the Italian data, supported by comparative remarks on modern Romance and Germanic, confirm the essential correctness of one particular version of the above theory namely

Popular Abstract in Swedish Beslutsinkompetenta patienter behöver en ställföreträdande beslutsfattare som kan fatta vårdbeslut för deras räkning. En av de etiska frågor som aktualiseras i detta sammanhang är vilka riktlinjer som bör gälla för sådant beslutsfattande. Enligt ?the Substituted Judgment Standard? (SJS) bör en ställföreträdare fatta det beslut som patienten själv hade fattat, om denne hPatients who are incompetent need a surrogate decision maker to make treatment decisons on their behalf. One of the main ethical questions that arise in this context is what standard ought to govern such decision making. According to the Substituted Judgment Standard (SJS), a surrogate ought to make the decision that the patient would have made, had he or she been competent. Although this standard

Background: Diagnosis of contact allergy (CA) to Amerchol L-101 (AL-101), a marker for lanolin allergy, is problematic. Positive patch-test reactions are frequently doubtful or weakly positive and difficult to associate with clinical relevance. Objective: To gain further insight on the allergic or irritant nature of skin reactions induced by AL-101 patch test. Methods: We re-tested in a dose–respo

The recovery of raw materials represents one of the greatest challenges for a circular economy. Especially, the increased demand for lithium in the last years for its critical role in Li-ion batteries implies the need for green technology for Li recovery able to address market requests. Here, we devise and implement a new technology exploiting excitons-based light-to-heat conversion promoted by WS

To improve the accuracy of indoor positioning systems it can be useful to combine different types of sensor data. This paper describes deep learning methods both for estimating absolute positions and for performing pedestrian dead reckoning, and then how to combine the resulting estimates using weighted least squares optimization. The positioning model is based on a custom neural network which use

In this study, we investigate integrating eye tracking with auditory attention decoding (AAD) using portable EEG devices, specifically a mobile EEG cap and cEEGrid, in a preliminary analysis with a single participant. A novel audiovisual dataset was collected using a mobile EEG system designed to simulate real-life listening environments. Our study has two main objectives: (1) to use eye tracking

Background: Trichotillomania is an understudied psychiatric disorder characterized by repeated hair-pulling resulting in hair loss. Little is known about the risk of problematic substance use in this patient group. In this nationwide matched cohort study, we investigated the association between trichotillomania and substance-related problems. Methods: We linked various nationwide administrative an

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological disease of the plasma cell that remains clinically challenging despite the development of novel therapies. Epigenetic alterations have been demonstrated to contribute to MM pathogenesis, yet comprehensive studies into the links between different epigenetic regulatory systems in myeloma progression and drug resistance, though clinically relevant, are largely

This ESMO CPG provides key recommendations and algorithms for managing DLBCL, FL, HL, MCL, MZL, PCNSL and PTCL. •It covers epidemiology, diagnosis, staging, risk assessment, treatment of primary and refractory disease and follow-up. •Treatment algorithms for each lymphoma type are provided. •The author group encompasses a multidisciplinary group of experts from different institutions and countries

Background: Neoadjuvant cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy (NAC) is standard perioperative treatment of patients with muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer (MIBC); however, about half of the patients experience recurrence of the disease. Biomarkers for response and survival represent an unmet medical need. We used tumor specimens from transurethral resections of the bladder to explore ge

Clinical outcome data of patients discharged after Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are limited and no study has evaluated predictors of cardiovascular prognosis in this setting. Our aim was to assess short-term mortality and cardiovascular outcome after hospitalization for COVID-19. A prospective cohort of 296 consecutive patients discharged after COVID-19 from two Italian institutions during

OBJECTIVES: Combination chemotherapy regimens have shown promising results in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. However, only very few studies have studied the effect of palliative chemotherapy in peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) and no data are present incorporating biological therapies in the treatment of PC in colorectal cancer.METHODS: By means of merging with the regional Eindhoven Ca

Multiplex Antibody-Detection by Agglutination-PCR (ADAP) assay was compared to singleplex standard radiobinding assays (RBA) to detect autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), GAD65 (GADA), islet antigen-2 (IA-2A), ZnT8 (ZnT8A) and tissue transglutaminase (TGA). Serum samples from 272 (114F/158M), 15-73 years of age healthy controls and 227 (109F/118M) newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes children, 1-11 y

X-ray fluorescence microscopy performed at nanofocusing synchrotron beamlines produces quantitative elemental distribution maps at unprecedented resolution (down to a few tens of nanometres), at the expense of relatively long measuring times and high absorbed doses. In this work, a method was implemented in which fast low-dose in-line holography was used to produce quantitative electron density ma

Marine dimethyl sulfide (DMS) emissions are the dominant source of natural sulfur in the atmosphere. DMS oxidizes to produce low-volatility acids that potentially nucleate to form particles that may grow into climatically important cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). In this work, we utilize the chemistry transport model ADCHEM to demonstrate that DMS emissions are likely to contribute to the majorit

The function of astrocytes intertwines with the extracellular matrix, whose neuron and glial cell-derived components shape neuronal plasticity. Astrocyte abnormalities have been reported in the brain of the mouse model for fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability, and a monogenic cause of autism spectrum disorder. We compared human FXS and control astroc

Genome amplification in the form of rings or giant rod-shaped marker chromosomes (RGMs) is a common genetic alteration in soft tissue tumors. The mitotic stability of these structures is often rescued by perfectly functioning analphoid neocentromeres, which therefore significantly contribute to cancer progression. Here, we disentangled the genomic architecture of many neocentromeres stabilizing ma

Mice homozygous for the human GRACILE syndrome mutation (Bcs1lc.A232G) display decreased respiratory chain complex III activity, liver dysfunction, hypoglycemia, rapid loss of white adipose tissue and early death. To assess the underlying mechanism of the lipodystrophy in homozygous mice (Bcs1lp.S78G), these and wild-type control mice were subjected to a short 4-hour fast. The homozygotes had low
