Nonverbal behaviour has an important function in team sports, but research is limited. Adopting a psychological momentum (PM) framework, this study explores the relationship between a team’s history of events, nonverbal post-shot celebrations in the form of gestures and touch shown by the shooter after scoring, and subsequent team performance during handball matches. A naturalistic design with sys

In this article four new ternary phases of RE7Co2Ge4 (RE = La-Nd) are reported. They were synthesized by a solid-state reaction of the elements at high temperature, and their crystal structures were investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The isostructural phases crystallize in a new monoclinic structure type, space group P21/c, Z = 4, Pearson code mP52, and Wyckoff sequence e13. Th

The notion that academic research creates societal benefits is widely recognised. However, there are varying perceptions of what such benefits may include, and diverse ideas regarding the ways in which they are created. Some research policy actors expect academic research to generate tangible and direct outputs related to commercialisation, such as spin‐off companies, patents and licences. Others

Data from the Swedish Renal Registry (SRR) show that during the period March 16, 2020 to March 15, 2021 0.4% of all renal transplant recipients and 3% of all dialysis patients died due to COVID-19 in Sweden. Of all registered deaths, 20% were attributed to COVID-19. In the age group 50-59 years the risk ratio for COVID-19 related mortality was 16 (95% CI 6.5-38) among transplant recipients and 22

Efficient handling of faults during operation is highly dependent on the interval (latency) from the time embedded monitoring instruments detect faults to the time when the fault manager localizes the faults. In this article, we propose a self-reconfiguring IEEE 1687 network in which all instruments that have detected faults are automatically included in the scan path, and a fault detection and lo

Gene therapy is a promising future tool for treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and several different strategies are currently being evaluated. Although many of these strategies have shown promising results in animal models of PD and parkinsonian patients, some have been less effective and caused adverse side effects. A vector system with high specificity and appropriate expression level of the

Introduction: Lobectomy is the standard curative treatment for non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC) of the lung. Most studies on lobectomy have focused on short-term outcome and 30-day mortality. The aim of this study was to determine both short-term and long-term surgical outcome in all patients who underwent lobectomy for NSCLC in Iceland over a 24-year period. Material and methods: The study involv

INTRODUCTION: Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is a group of disorders characterized by symptoms that occur upon standing and resolve with recumbence. Although well established but not widely recognized, these diagnoses may create uncertainty for clinicians dealing with a patient affected by OI and requiring a surgical procedure.OBJECTIVES: To determine the rate of intra- and postoperative major adver

The physiological route for the action of the pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) was determined in Mamestra brassicae (L.) (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae). Removal of the ventral nerve cord including the terminal abdominal ganglia did not affect PBAN stimulation of pheromone production and the biogenic amine octopamine did not stimulate pheromone production in isolated abdomens. PBAN-li

Structure-activity relationships for chain-shortened analogs of (Z)-5-decenyl acetate, a pheromone component of the turnip moth, Agrotis segetum, have been studied by electrophysiological single-sensillum technique and interpreted in terms of a previously reported receptor-interaction model. The results indicate that the terminal methyl group, as well as the acetate group, interacts with highly co

In order to identify genes associated with primary chemotherapy-resistance, gene expression profiles (GEP) in tumour tissue from 37 patients with de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), stage II-IV, either in continuous complete remission (n = 24) or with progressive disease during primary treatment (n = 13), were examined using spotted 55K oligonucleotide arrays. Immunohistochemistry was u

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen är en historisk-komparativ analys av en konflikt som har uppstått i Miskito's ekonomiska system under 1900-talet avseende exploateringen av kommunalt ägda resurser. Studien är baserad på empiriskt material insamlat i en Miskito/Creole by på Atlantkusten i Nicaragua på 1990-talet. Under den s k enklavperioden (1860-1960) tjänade Miskito män pengar som lönearThis dissertation is a historical-comparative analysis of a conflict that has developed in the economic system of the Miskito in the 20th century, concerning the use of common property resources. The study is based on empirical material collected in a Miskito/Creole village on the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua in the 1990s. During the enclave period (1860-1960) Miskito men earned money as wage labou

Eight children (1--17 yr) underwent bone marrow harvesting while in cytostatic-induced remission of their disease (leukemia [n = 6], Ewing sarcoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma). After the induction of general anesthesia, all patients were loaded with 10 mL/kg of a 6% high-molecular dextran solution (Macrodex — Pharmacia), which resulted in a significant preoperative decrease in hematocrit (Hct) from

Air quality standards are set to protect public health. The values of the standards are often based on health effect studies, without any statistical considerations. In order to judge if a standard is met measurements of ambient air quality are taken at monitoring stations, and these measured values are used to decide whether or not the standard has been violated. In this paper we examine the stat

For a whole century, citrate has been used as an in vitro anticoagulant via chelation of calcium. Later, also EDTA was introduced as an anticoagulant. An often overlooked fact is that zinc is bound to citrate and EDTA with affinities much greater than that for calcium, imposing problems in biomedical research. In vivo, proteins of the S100 family are released from leukocytes and known to bind calc

Background: [18F]flutemetamol PET scanning provides information on brain amyloid load and has been approved for routine clinical use based upon visual interpretation as either negative (equating to none or sparse amyloid plaques) or amyloid positive (equating to moderate or frequent plaques). Quantitation is however fundamental to the practice of nuclear medicine and hence can be used to supplemen

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) using the Nordic Consortium for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection registry. Methods: Patients who underwent ATAAD surgery at 8 Nordic centers from 2005 to 2014 were analyzed for AKI according to the RIFLE criteri
