Local democracy is theoretically based on political parties offering different policies across and within sub-national geographical units. However, local democracy is embedded within a multilevel party and institutional structure that may compromise this endeavour. This study develops three expectations of policy variation: within party variation in political positions across geographical units; d
BACKGROUND: Infants born after in vitro fertilization (IVF) differ from spontaneously conceived infants in a number of aspects which could increase the risk for future cerebral palsy (CP), e.g., multiple births, preterm births, neonatal complications. AIMS: To follow up children conceived by IVF with respect to risk for CP. METHODS: Infants born after IVF were identified from all IVF clinics in Sw
This article provides a critical view of Judgment No. 238 of 2014 handed down by the Italian Constitutional Court. By and large the comments presented below pertain to the single issue of the relationship between different legal orders - between the legal orders of two states, or between the legal order of one state and the legal order of international law. The following comments are based on a po
Platelets are small, versatile blood cells that are critical for hemostasis/thrombosis. Local platelet accumulation is a known contributor to proinflammation in various disease states. However, the anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive potential of platelets has been poorly explored. Here, we uncovered, unexpectedly, desialylated platelets (dPLTs) down-regulated immune responses against both platele
Late cerebral ischaemia after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) carries high morbidity and mortality because of reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF) and subsequent cerebral ischaemia. This is associated with upregulation of contractile receptors in cerebral artery smooth muscles via the activation of intracellular signalling. In addition, delayed cerebral ischaemia after SAH is associated with inflammat
This chapter challenges the widespread belief that shopping provides lasting happiness and stress relief. This myth, often referred to as ‘retail therapy’, suggests that consumption serves as an effective coping mechanism for emotional distress. Rooted in post-war consumer culture and reinforced by advertising, this idea has normalised the use of material goods to manage emotions, fostering a depe
In the future, buildings need to be energy resilient to tackle the energy crisis. This article introduces a concept for classifying the energy resilience of buildings in extreme cold and warm weather in Finland during blackouts. It presents a techno-economic comparison between an old and a new single-family building integrated with photovoltaic (PV) systems and batteries, analyzing their resilienc
Drawing from the rich literature in behavioural finance and extensive analysis of forum data from a UK equity crowdfunding platform, we present a comprehensive framework that delineates the investment decision-making process of equity crowdfunders. Our framework captures the utilitarian, emotional, and expressive investment motives that drive crowdfunders, their behaviours and actions during and a
Does it pay to adopt Climate-Smart Practices? Despite the general understanding that CSA practices or innovative land management methods increase farmers’ food security, the key to the current debate within the literature is to understand the extent to which CSA practices explain differences in farmers’ productivity and resilience to climatic shocks. To fill this gap, this study examines the varia
The survival rate of patients with glioma has not significantly increased in recent years despite aggressive treatment and advances in immunotherapy. The limited response to treatments is partially attributed to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, in which regulatory T cells (Treg) play a pivotal role in immunologic tolerance. In this study, we investigated the impact of complement facto

Background: Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the most potent ligand to the androgen receptor, is synthesised from testosterone (T) by 5α-reductase type 1 and 2. While type 1 is expressed in several non-reproductive tissues in both sexes, men also express high levels of the high-affinity type 2 isoform in reproductive tissues; yet women have a higher circulating DHT to T (DHT/T) ratio than men. We hypoth
The purpose of the study was to examine differences in the accuracy of voice identification tasks between an experimental group (N = 56) consisting of security personal, and a control group (N = 44). In addition, calibration methodology was employed in order to examine if the experimental group exhibited a higher confidence level in their identifications than the control group. No significant diff
