Background: This study investigated the clinical importance of linked angiogenetic biomarkers to chemotherapy, combined with the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor A (anti-VEGF-A), as a first-line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods: A total of 230 patients from a randomised phase III study were included. The primary microRNA-126 (pri-miRNA-126) A24G single
Researchers have called for the need to investigate the salesperson's role in customer value creation in the context of companies moving into service and solution businesses. Despite the indisputable importance of the sales function in the company's customer relationships and in value creation for these customers, relevant literature has not yet answered the question of what salespeople actually d
The self-assembly of proteins into beta-sheet-rich amyloid fibrils has been observed to occur with sigmoidal kinetics, indicating that the system initially is trapped in a metastable state. Here, we use a minimal lattice-based model to explore the thermodynamic forces driving amyloid formation in a finite canonical (NVT) system. By means of generalized-ensemble Monte Carlo techniques and a semi-an

BACKGROUND: It is not known why survival differs between men and women in oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study evaluates differences in comorbidity between men and women, and tests the hypothesis that comorbidity contributes to sex-related differences in mortality in oxygen-dependent COPD. METHODS: National prospective study of patients aged 50 years or
This essay investigates inflation and inflation uncertainty in Sweden from 1970:Q1 to 2014:Q4. GARCH models are used to generate a measure of inflation uncertainty estimated under the distributional assumption of Student's t-distribution and GED. The preferable model found for Swedish inflation was a EGARCH(1,1) estimated with Student's t-distribution. The coefficient of the asymmetry in t
To reduce the use of resources, as well as to minimize the effluents of carbon dioxide; we need to use our products for a longer time. Repairs makes that possible and is considered a key strategy to move towards a more circular economy (CE). Sweden recently presented its CE action plan, which includes few direct initiatives that would foster repairs. Therefore, through a literature review, policy
Quinones are essential components in most cell and organelle bioenergetic processes both for direct electron and/or proton transfer reactions but also as means to regulate various bioenergetic processes by sensing cell redox states. To understand how quinones interact with proteins, it is important to have tools for identifying and characterizing quinone binding sites. In this work three different
Purpose – This paper aims to improve the understanding how entrepreneurs practice inexpensive marketing by utilising human and social capital instead of financial resources. Methodology – This study was conducted following a qualitative methodology. The data was collected in seven semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs who have made use of inexpensive marketing concepts and methods. We ana
Many premature deaths and health problems could be prevented by adhering to a healthy diet, however, many people lack the self-regulation needed for maintaining healthy behaviors. Goal-conflicting situations (i.e., when a person needs to decide between one of two conflicting goals) are an obstacle for self-regulation, while coping planning is found to be useful in these situations since it entails
I Sverige har flertalet naturolyckor inträffat genom tiderna och det är även idag vanligt med olika typer av naturolyckor. Dessa förväntas i framtiden inträffa mer frekvent och bli allt mer omfattande till följd av klimatförändringarna. Naturolyckor kan kategoriseras som geologiska, biologiska och hydrometeorologiska. Den sistnämnda är väderrelaterade olyckor och i många fall blir den kommunala rä
Enligt svensk lag föreligger sedan länge äktenskapshinder mot att ingå månggifte och tvegifte är dessutom kriminaliserat. Vidare är det svenska äktenskapet per definition monogamt. Makar ska även vara jämställda och behandlas lika. Det finns länder som tillåter månggiften av ekonomiska och sociala skäl. Bland utländska månggiften som figurerar i Sverige har många ingåtts enligt rättsordningar som In Swedish law, polygamy has been both criminalized and considered an impediment of marriage for a long time. Monogamy, as well as gender equality and equality in general, are fundamental principles in Swedish family law. Polygamous marriages are legal in certain other states due to being considered favorable for both economic and social reasons. Many foreign polygamous marriages that figure in Sw
Climate change is more evident than ever as reflected in The European union's environmental directives which say that the carbon emission must be reduced by 20% and 20% of the used energy must come from renewable energy sources until 2020. In Germany political decision has been made that the nuclear power will be replaced by renewable energy in long term. The purpose of the Master Thesis is to
The purpose of this paper is to answer the question concerning NATO and how it has changed after the end of the Cold War. To do this we will look and analyse four different conflicts that NATO has been involved in since the end of the Cold War. These four conflicts are those of Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Libya. To correctly analyse these conflict in the context of NATO we will use security th
The primary focus on this thesis is to investigate different actors attitudes on sustainable forestry and opportunities and restrictions experienced with these. The actors already manage forest in some way, or are interested in managing forest sustainable. Sustainable development was defined during the WCED in 1987 and has since then been a concept for planning. The concept sustainable development
The following study investigates the female main character in the novel The Bad Girl (2006), written by the Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa. In addition, it examines how she relates to the Marianismo, the Latin-American ideology that proposes that the woman's spiritual and moral capacity is superior to the man's, and favours the woman's sexual passivity and purity. The essay is base
Systemic transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and conditioned medium derived from MSCs have been reported to recover bone loss in animal models of osteoporosis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We recently reported that extracellular vesicles released from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) prevent senescence of stem cells in bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of
