Using combined autoradiography and immunohistochemistry, we have compared (3H)-adenosine accumulation and GABA immunoreactivity in the chicken and rabbit retinas. Colocalization of the two markers was observed in a subset of amacrine cells and in certain cell bodies in the ganglion cell layer in both species and in a few horizontal cells in the chicken retina. Cells that contained only (3H)-adenos
Background: Few studies have assessed the metabolic syndrome (MetS) as an entity in relation to breast cancer risk, and results have been inconsistent. We aimed to examine the association between MetS factors (individually and combined) and risk of breast cancer incidence and mortality. Methods: Two hundred ninety thousand women from Austria, Norway, and Sweden were enrolled during 1974-2005, with

Background: Increasing demands of renewal and change on individuals and organisations require continuous learning and innovation in order to gain competitive advantages.

Till följd av detta har en rapport visat att migrationsverket hanterat asylansökningar på ett bristfälligt sätt. Bristerna har främst hänfört sig till frågor rörande rättssäkerhet. Utöver detta har ytterligare en aspekt uppmärksammats och det är den om rikets säkerheSince the major migration flows reached Sweden in the summer of 2015, have once again the immigration legal questions become the subject of public debate. As a result, a report showed that the Swedish Migration Agency handled asylum applications in a flawed manner. The flaws have mostly referred to the issues of the rule of law.

Pregnancy is an immunological conundrum as the semi-allogenic fetus is tolerated concurrently as the mother and fetus are protected against pathogens. Systemic and local immunological alterations are a vital part of healthy pregnancy, and a possible contributor to gestational diseases. This study aimed to characterize peripheral, intervillous and decidual maternal immune cells during healthy labor
Emotion regulation and emotional work can have both positive and negative effects. Previous studies have suggested that emotion regulation is taught through early life socialization, and that this socialization may be gendered. If this were the case, we learn to regulate our emotions differently, and for some to, for instance, be socialized into suppressing their emotions may lead to negative cons
