It was with great interest that I read “Political Power of Iranian Hierocracies” by János Jany published in Comparative Civilizations Review. Writing about Iranian history is not an easy task because historical points of view have been highly politicized. Such is particularly the case when discussing the Pahlavi dynasty, particularly its founder, Reza Shah Pahlavi, and his successor, Mohammed Reza

Factor H is an inhibitor of the complement system, essential for controlling the alternative pathway and also playing a crucial role in various cellular functions. In this thesis, we identified new intriguing functions of FH as a survival factor for primary human monocytes, promoting their differentiation into immunosuppressive macrophages. We showed that FH is expressed by human breast cancer cel

This chapter seeks to develop a theoretical basis for better understanding the intersections between public diplomacy (PD) and development communication (Devcom). It will be argued that both fields involve (1) theories of influence over social change in foreign countries; (2) a voluntary transfer of resources from an actor promoting a specific cause or agenda to a group or organization in a foreig

Four organizations at Stockholm-Arlanda airport are going through various organizational changes. They are preparing for present and future demands through structural changes, implementation of new technology, training, and other efficiency and capacity improving measures. The change processes will be followed during two years of which this paper presents the baseline measurement. The key factors

Evaluating the trade interdependence among countries is the key to understanding critical metal minerals security. By constructing a novel interdependence network, this paper reveals a more comprehensive world hierarchy and risk system of critical metals, and focuses on the interdependencies between China and the US-led MSP countries before and after the Sino-US trade disputes. The results indicat

Payment for water ecosystem services has been gaining attention in Latin America because of the direct response for environmental conservation through economic mechanisms. By connecting nature services with people who benefit from them, it creates a sustainable intervention for the ecosystem’s management while enhancing human well-being according to policy implementers. Nevertheless, these initiat

Climate change poses a significant threat to global stability, with rising temperatures leading to severe environmental and economic impacts. In response, innovative policy mechanisms such as the Global Carbon Reward (GCR) have been designed to enhance the effectiveness of carbon pricing strategies. The foundational aspect of the GCR is a carbon reward, which acts as a financial incentive distribu

I den pågående kampen mot klimathotet har Europeiska unionen antagit en ledande roll för att fullfölja skiftet mot en grön ekonomi, bland annat genom att fokusera på att stärka konkurrenskraften avseende tillverkningen av netto-noll energiindustrin och säkra de nödvändiga råvarorna för denna omställning. För att möjliggöra detta presenterade den Europeiska kommissionen i mars 2023, i samband med pIn the global race against climate change, the answer of the European Union is the transition towards a green economy by focusing on strengthening the competitiveness of the net-zero technology industry and securing the necessary critical materials. To do so, the Union presented two legislative acts in the European Green Deal Industrial Plan in 2023, amongst which the Net-Zero Industry Act. While

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) remains a leading cause of transfusionrelated deaths. In most cases, anti-leukocyte antibodies in the transfusion product trigger TRALI, but not all anti-leukocyte antibodies cause TRALI. It has been shown that the anti-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antibody 34-1-2S (anti-H-2Kd) causes TRALI in BALB/c mice (MHC class I haplotype H-2Kd)

Background and Purpose-We have previously shown that delivery of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) through direct intrahippocampal gene transduction with a viral vector suppresses the formation of new dentate granule cells triggered by global forebrain ischemia. Here, we investigated whether inhibition of endogenous BDNF alters ischemia-induced neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus. Methods-Rat
