Liner shipping, which provides transportation by ships operating on a regular schedule between specified ports in accordance with publicly available timetables of sailing dates, is now a mature industry. The various players which are part of the liner shipping industry, namely, ocean carriers, port operators, freight forwarders or consolidators, customs, hinterland haulage carriers, inland navigat
Background: Ice hockey players often undergo arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS); however, only a few studies have reported postoperative patient-reported outcomes. It has been debated whether player position is related to FAIS. Purpose: To evaluate the change in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in high-level ice hockey players from presurgery to 2 year
Med digitaliseringens utveckling har personifierad onlinereklam vuxit i hela världen. Det betyder att företag, genom s. k cookies, samlar in personuppgifter om konsumenten för att i sin tur skapa onlinereklam baserad på konsumentens intressen. Cookies är en liten datafil som sparar ner information om konsumenten och sedan med hjälp av bland annat Online behaviour advertising (OBA) kan datafilen meWith the development of digitalization, personalized online advertising has grown worldwide. This means that companies, through so-called Cookies, collect personal data about the consumer to then create online advertising based on the consumer's interests. Cookies are a small data file that saves information about the consumer and then with the help of Online Behavioural Advertising, the data
Previous scholarship has viewed the productive activities of fans—otherwise known as fan labor—as a means to successfully permeate an otherwise cluttered social media environment. The following study challenges as well as problematizes these existing assumptions by exploring: (i) fan perceptions of the ‘work’ they perform; and (ii) the distinct forms the performed ‘work’ assume, specifically in re
Innovation is the source of new products and processes that expand the frontiers of competition. Advancements in technology are continuously occurring throughout the world as firms seek to develop new ideas for their products, services and markets. Most technology licensing is pro-competitive and should be encouraged by competition authorities. Nevertheless, in legal and economic spheres the conne
The Panama Canal expansion is an external factor on the tanker freight market that is made to change cargo volumes, channel fee income, the average transit time and might also change or create new profitable transportation routes. Shipowners operating in the region will, in one way or another, be affected by this. For tanker shipping companies like Stena Bulk the challenge is to create robustness
This detailed volume presents a diverse set of methodological approaches designed to improve our understanding of bacterial infections from a wide range of bacterial species. Beginning with biofilms and subcellular compartments, the book explores transcriptional analysis, methods for studying plasmid dynamics, and tools for phylogenetic analysis of bacterial genomes, as well as bacterial effector
Direct cellular reprogramming has recently gained attention of cancer researchers for the possibility to convert undifferentiated cancer cells into more differentiated, postmitotic cell types. While a few studies have attempted reprogramming of glioblastoma (GBM) cells toward a neuronal fate, this approach has not yet been used to induce differentiation into other lineages and in vivo data on redu
Pollination is a critical ecosystem service given its essential role in sustaining food production, while pollinating insects are declining worldwide. Pollination capacity can be estimated through direct indicators characterising pollinator communities. Pollinators need feeding and nesting resources, so their presence can also be estimated through indirect indicators characterising these resources
AIMS: To describe the level of physical activity 6 months after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and to explore potential risk factors of a low level of physical activity.METHODS: Post-hoc analyses of the international multicentre Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac arrest (TTM2) trial. At 6 months, survivors at 61 sites in Europe, Australia and
With the development of new radiopharmaceutical therapies, quantitative SPECT/CT has progressively emerged as a crucial tool for dosimetry. One major obstacle of SPECT is its poor resolution, which results in blurring of the activity distribution. Especially for small objects, this so-called partial-volume effect limits the accuracy of activity quantification. Numerous methods for partial-volume c
BACKGROUND: European guidelines recommend the use of a 0h/1h hs-cTn (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin) protocol in patients with acute chest pain. We aimed to determine the performance of this protocol in routine care when supplemented with patient history and ECG and a recommendation to refrain from noninvasive testing in low-risk patients.METHODS AND RESULTS: This was a pre- and postimplementat
Electrostatic interactions play crucial roles in protein function. Measuring pKa value perturbations upon complex formation or self-assembly of e.g. amyloid fibrils gives valuable information about the effect of electrostatic interactions in those processes. Site-specific pKa value determination by solution NMR spectroscopy is challenged by the high molecular weight of amyloid fibrils. Here we rep
Two photoactive iron N-heterocyclic carbene complexes [FeII(btz)2(bpy)]2+ and [FeIII(btz)3]3+, where btz is 3,3’-dimethyl-1,1’-bis(p-tolyl)-4,4’-bis(1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene) and bpy is 2,2’-bipyridine, have been investigated by Resonant Photoelectron Spectroscopy (RPES). Tuning the incident X-ray photon energy to match core-valence excitations provides a site specific probe of the electronic struc
Background: Previous population-based studies investigating the relationship between physical activity and the gut microbiota have relied on self-reported activity, prone to reporting bias. Here, we investigated the associations of accelerometer-based sedentary (SED), moderate-intensity (MPA), and vigorous-intensity (VPA) physical activity with the gut microbiota using cross-sectional data from th
Objectives Better understanding of societal factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination can have important implications for public health policy to increase uptake.Methods This study investigated sociodemographic determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake with ≥2 doses vs 0 doses, and ≥3 doses vs 2 doses, among adults (≥18 years) in a general population from Sweden followed from 27 December 2020 (n=
This deliverable focuses on capturing the current status of testing and validation of services from the RI’s and ENVRI-Hub itself, that are both exposed to EOSC. This means that services are in scope that are shared via the ENVRI Catalogue of Services to the EOSC marketplace. The EOSC validation activities will check the readiness of the ENVRI-FAIR services at the sub-domain and cluster level for
Older women make a significant contribution to the labour market yet still experiencenegative workplace impacts. We undertook a rapid review of literature to assess theexperiences of older female workers in the European labour market with the aim toidentify current research gaps. We discuss how current data and future research couldbe utilized to improve the working lives of older women in Europe.
BACKGROUND: Melanoma is a highly heterogeneous disease, and a deeper molecular classification is essential for improving patient stratification and treatment approaches. Here, we describe the histopathology-driven proteogenomic landscape of 142 treatment-naïve metastatic melanoma samples to uncover molecular subtypes and clinically relevant biomarkers.METHODS: We performed an integrative proteogen
This review presents state-of-the-art knowledge and identifies knowledge gaps for future research in the area of exercise-associated modifications of infection susceptibility. Regular moderate-intensity exercise is believed to have beneficial effects on immune health through lowering inflammation intensity and reducing susceptibility to respiratory infections. However, strenuous exercise, as perfo
