The economics of biobanking are intertwined with its social and scientific aspects. In this article, we illustrate this interrelationship and describe two problems that structure the discussion about the economics of biobanking. First, there is a “sustainability problem” about how to maintain biobanks in the long term. Second, and representing a partial response to the first problem, there is a “c
Ground improvement with lime-cement pillars is becoming increasingly common in the Nordic countries for exploitation of areas with poor stability. However, there is no non-destructive method for quality control of the ground improvement. Significant changes in the electrical properties after mixing of the binders make electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) a potential method. In connection with l
This chapter aims to discuss the meaning and implication, in terms of international law, of the concept of permanence with accountability in the framework of the tenth Review Conference of the States party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and in the interval between this and the next Review Conference. After contextualizing the concept of permanence with accountabili
The present paper investigates the ongoing validity of the notion of subordination as selection criteria to allocate the labour protections in the contemporary economic framework. The gig economy is deeply affecting the way of working, transforming the employee in a service provider. This phenomenon is partially due to the progressive shift from a firm-based production model towards a market trans
This interpretive focused-ethnographic study was conducted to illuminate and gain deeper understanding on managers’ everyday cooperative work practices using artefacts. In the dissertation, artefacts refer to digital technologies and information. The doctoral research specifically examines how artefacts in the workplace of an academic library are used in academic library managers’ everyday coopera
Concerns have been raised regarding a potentially increased risk of cancer associated with treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Here, we explored whether fasting and oral glucose tolerance test post-challenge glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and GLP-1 levels were associated with incident first cancer. Within the cardiovascular re-examination arm of the po
In the last two decades, health promotion strategies have gained significant attention in end-of-life care contexts—engendering greater focus on community and informal care in policy and healthcare spheres in liberal welfare-states. The emergence of health-promoting palliative care (HPPC) in the Nordic context presents a unique challenge to the abiding social contract of care which emphasizes the
Patent citations added by examiners are often used as indicators of technological impact and knowledge flows, despite various criticisms. In this study we analyze the distribution of examiner patent citations according to patent characteristics in order to show their limitations. According to our findings, the number of applicant citations included is dependent on the science-base of the technolog
BackgroundBreathlessness is a common and distressing symptom across a wide range of medical conditions. Different aspects (dimensions) of breathlessness can be assessed using the Multidimensional Dyspnoea Profile (MDP) and Dyspnoea-12 (D12) questionnaires. We aimed to examine whether the order of completing MDP and D12 affects the breathlessness responses in people with cardiorespiratory disease.M
We face closely intertwined crises related to biodiversity, climate change, global health andinequality. Unfortunately, the knowledge that could help overcome these existential crises isscattered across millions of scientific articles, reports, policy documents, databases, andindividual datasets, far exceeding human processing capabilities. This hinders evidence-basedresearch, innovation and polic
Aggressive tumours are defined by microenvironmental stress adaptation and metabolic reprogramming. Within this niche, lipid droplet accumulation has emerged as a key strategy to buffer toxic lipids and suppress ferroptosis. Lipid droplet formation can occur via de novo lipogenesis or extracellular lipid-scavenging. However, how tumour cells coordinate these processes remains poorly understood. He

A study program for doctoral supervisors is currently being implemented at two higher education institutions: One large and traditional research university and one university college. The overall aim of the program is to improve supervision as well as local practices for doctoral education and doctoral research in departments and research groups but also at the institutional level. In planning the
