One of the characteristic features of Indian society is its complex caste system which ranks people into hereditary groups. Most importantly, the foundation of caste association was based on the occupation of each group. And the lowest group within this system have historically been excluded and exploited due to their assigned caste-based occupations. Despite implementing affirmative action polici
Aims Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is responsible for a disproportionate number of breast cancer (BC) deaths, owing to its intrinsic aggressiveness and a lack of treatment options, especially targeted therapies. Thus, there is an urgent need for the development of better targeted treatments for TNBC. Molecular alteration of AKT-3 was previously reported in oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive B

Vid Kärlsektionen, Verksamhetsområde Thorax-Kärl, bedriver kärlkirurger, kärlmedicinare (angiologer), radiologer och sjuksköterskor både kvantitativ och kvalitativ, tvärprofessionell och experimentell forskning med fokus främst på sjukdomar i aorta, mesenterial-, karotis- och benartärer samt venös tromboembolism. Integrationen av kärlkirurger och kärlmedicinare ger sektionen en ledande position iAt Vascular Centre, Department of Cardio-Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, vascular surgeons, vascular physicians, radiologists and nurses are committed to quantitative and qualitative, multidisciplinary and experimental research with focus on diseases of the aorta, mesenteric, carotid and lower limb arteries, and venous thromboembolism. The integration of vascular surgeons and vascular physicians g
We challenge the question of how environmental (diet, physical activity, alcohol) factors modify genetic associations put forward by us and others, in recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) of lipoprotein traits, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and obesity and aim to utilize this information in intervention studies and in development of prediction models. We work to further improve genetic C
In polyandrous insects, postcopulatory sexual selection is a pervasive evolutionary force favouring male and female traits that allow control of offspring paternity. Males may influence paternity through adaptations for sperm competition, and females through adaptations facilitating cryptic female choice. Yet, the mechanisms are often complex, involving behaviour, physiology or morphology, and the
BACKGROUND: A calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-free immunosuppressive regimen has been demonstrated to improve renal function early after heart transplantation, but long-term outcome of such a strategy has not been well described. METHODS: In the randomized SCHEDULE trial, de novo heart transplant recipients received (1) everolimus with reduced-exposure CNI (cyclosporine) followed by CNI withdrawal at
The service-dominant logic in the context of public services has only previously been studied empirically to a very limited degree. The purpose of this article is to provide knowledge of what the theory of service-dominant logic makes visible in public service practice. The empirical material is case concerning a new public service organisation – a service centre.

The pandemic forced organizations to adopt a remote working mode which changed people’s working locations and communication methods from face-to-face to online. This qualitative study has utilized an in-depth interview method to research on how the employees perceive the communication challenges and their engagement during the remote working in the pandemic from a theoretical lens of sensemaking.
This study saw the development of an experimental setup capable of generating and measuring optical-field-induced currents in a variety of nanodevices fabricated specifically for this project. Each device design features two metallic contacts, closely separated by about 5 micrometers, deposited onto a semiconductor or insulator substrate. The region between these two contacts is a junction, being Laser Activated Electronics Transistors are often considered the most revolutionary electrical devices of this century, attributed as the building block of all modern technology. It is these tiny devices that control the flow of electrons in all your electronics. In your computer alone, there are hundreds of millions of these transistors, all working together in a complex circuit. Previously, impr
Minimalinvasiv hjärtkirurgi definieras som hjärtkirurgiska operationstekniker där man avstår från en full median sternotomin (längsgående delning av hela bröstbenet). Hjärtoperationen sker då istället med alternativa exponeringstekniker under det att man använder konventionell hjärt-lungmaskin. Beroende på diagnos utförs antingen operationen med video-assisterad, eller robot-assisterad, endoskopi Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is defined a cardiac surgery with heart-lung machine, but without full median sternotomy. Depending on the underlying disease the surgical procedures can be performed through a 4-6 cm mini-thoracotomy on the right side with either video-assisted or robotic-asssited endoscopy or through a partial split of the sternum. We believe that minimally invasive facilitate
Purpose: TRPM1-associated congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is characterized by nystagmus and high myopia. We assessed retinal function and structure over long-term follow-up up to 10 years in two siblings from a family with the homozygous deletion c.2394delC in exon 18 that we previously identified. In addition, we describe retinal function and structure in two other siblings with the
OBJECTIVES: Coronary endarterectomy (CE) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is occasionally required to achieve revascularization in diffusely diseased vessels. Its beneficial effect has been questioned because of an increased risk of perioperative mortality and morbidity; however, its influence on the long-term outcome remains uncertain. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact
Background: Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is a rare cause of sudden cardiac arrest which may pose therapeutic and prognostic challenges. To date, the only effective treatment for survivors of cardiac arrest is the insertion of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). We sought to review the long-term outcome of a Swedish cohort with IVF. Methods and results: Fifty patients with

Purpose: To investigate if it is possible to earn abnormal returns from the accruals based trading strategy in Sweden. The aim is also to examine if the benchmark used when classifying firms into accruals portfolios has an impact on the abnormal returns from the trading strategy. Methodology: The study investigates the abnormal returns from the trading strategy that aims to exploit the accruals a
