We therefore assessed the PiZ deficiency variant of the major plasma protease inhibitor alpha1-antitrypsin (alpha1AT) as a risk factor for PUD in H. pylori-infected individuals. METHODS: The cohort comprised 100 patients with endoscopically or surgically pr

There is an increasing demand on universities and university colleges to involve student nurses in research and development projects. The aim of this study was to describe different ways of involving students in research and development projects in order to gain empirical material for their own undergraduate projects and to discuss the challenges in involving students in those projects. The study

Discussion on social media and their contribution to democratisation is dominated by scholarship on the use of social media in mobilizing and coordinating grassroots opposition in contentious movements (e.g., the Arab Spring). Such approach, however, fails to recognize the power dynamics underlying everyday uses of social media. To fill this gap, this article provides one of the first studies on t

The Solaris synchrotron radiation storage ring to be built in Krakow, Poland is based on the MAX IV 1.5 GeV design. The injector will be a linear accelerator and its components identical to those for the MAX IV project, however, injection is not at full energy and the injector layout is different. The linac and transfer line layout, optics and injection scheme into the storage ring is presented an
