Exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a risk factor for cancer. Alterations in mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) and telomere length (TL) have been associated with cancer risk. Two Argentinean groups were studied: A) Puna area of Andes and B) Chaco. Arsenic exposure was assessed as the sum of arsenic metabolites (iAs, MMA, and DMA) in urine (U-As) using HPLC-HG-ICPMS. MtDNAcn, TL, and genot

This chapter is one of two theoretical pieces in this international collection. The aim is to challenge the traditional perception of who is a vulnerable person by discussing the concept from the vulnerability theory standpoint that basically accepts vulnerability as a universal state of being. It discusses the risk that the distribution of public services ends up being based on age absent conside

The S.T.A.R. Design Studio (Space and Terrestrial Architectural Research) studies pre-industrial habitats in i.a. Tanzania, and develops design concepts for future habitats in space in cooperation with Johnson Space Centre, Houston, Texas. In both cases our studies focus on "extreme" circumstances. Perhaps studying the conditions of a crew sealed in a capsule can better prepare us for the problems

This study examined the control of voice intensity using acoustic and aerodynamic recordings. A total of 34 subjects participated half of them with and half without song training, 21 females and 13 males. The subjects produced the syllable sequence /papapa/ while the acoustic signal, the oral air flow and the oral air pressure were recorded using the Kay-Pentax Phonatory Aerodynamic System. The or

Effects of the bluff-body's position on diffusion flame structures and flame instability characteristics were investigated experimentally. A flame regime diagram together with the corresponding flow fields were proposed to evaluate the influences caused by the alternation of bluff-body's position. The disk shape bluff-body was placed 10 mm downstream or at the same height with the annular channel

B cell receptor signaling and downstream NF-κB activity are crucial for the maturation and functionality of all major B cell subsets, yet the molecular players in these signaling events are not fully understood. Here we use several genetically modified mouse models to demonstrate that expression of the multifunctional BRCT (BRCA1 C-terminal) domain-containing PTIP (Pax transactivation domain-inter

BACKGROUND: To analyze the potential effect of social inequality on pancreatic cancer risk in Western Europe, by reassessing the association within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Study, including a larger number of cases and an extended follow-up.METHODS: Data on highest education attained were gathered for 459,170 participants (70% women) from 10 European

This thesis is a combined critical, biographical, and bibliographical study of American poet Frank Stanford (1948-1978). A prodigious, prolific poet's poet, Stanford is a long-underappreciated artist whose unwavering legacy, in recent years, has grown to be an undeniable force in contemporary American poetry. Stanford was an adoptee, and this study investigates his preoccupation with his loss

Den här uppsatsen behandlar frågan om det ondas problem, inom teologiska och religionsvetenskapliga kretsar mer känt som Teodicéproblemet. Till skillnad från liknande uppsatser som rör det ondas problem kommer den här uppsatsen inte att behandla frågan gällande Guds existens, ej heller kommer uppsatsen att behandla huruvida det ondas problem är ett bra argument mot Guds existens. Här kommer istäThis paper will address the issue of:” Why God allows evil”, also known as theodicy. Unlike similar essays concerning this question, this paper will not address the question in relation to the existence of a God, nor shall it address whether the problem of evil is a good argument against this existence. This paper will focus upon the function of evil with a focus on Judeo-Christian contexts. The

In this thesis I investigate the notion of imagination in Romantic thought and in the visual art of William Blake with the aim of making a contribution to theological methodology. In early German Romanticism, as well as in the art of William Blake, the concept of imagination plays a central role in the relationship between the Absolute and the perceiving and knowing subject. My thesis takes its st

This thesis focuses on the era of early film, with the aim to address an almost forgotten film language. Three aspects have been taken into account—variable frame rates, suppressed sound and hearing, and projection speeds—to analyze several examples of film to ascertain the techniques used by early filmmakers. I have also applied my findings of the techniques of yesteryear to contemporary films th

Theories lead to contradictory hypotheses regarding the determinants of vertical and horizontal IIT. Hence, in order to be able to investigate the country-specific determinants of VIIT and HIIT, it is important to empirically delimit the two from each other. This study employs the traditional Grubel and Lloyd measure of intra-industry trade, unadjusted for trade imbalance, and the method developed

Issue of study: Today, in an information-driven economy, it is more important than ever to be innovative. Developing new ways to create and deliver value is the main method of competition in the business world. Although the picture differs widely from the industrial age, the principals used to manage these companies and employees are same as a century ago. Paying people will just make them do what
