The myth of creation is a fundamental part of any culture and this is the reason why I consider necessarily and useful to point to the way in which this myth has been artistically expressed in Romanian literature, both in times of successful aesthetic creation and during the regime, which attempted to distort the significance of art. The enrichment of the myth with the idea of the creative man was
In this work the results on the transverse momentum distributions (similar to 0.3 < p(T) < 15 GeV/c) of charged pions, kaons and (anti)protons, measured in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at root S-NN = 2.76 TeV and in p-Pb collisions at root S-NN = 5.02 TeV, presented. The evolution of the spectral shapes and particle ratios with multiplicity is shown and the similarities among the different systems are
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the Western hemisphere and the incidence increases with increasing age. Most colorectal cancers are localized with or without lymph node metastases. Up to 20% of patients present with metastatic disease, most commonly to the liver. Surgery is the only curative therapy for localized colorectal cancer and adjuvant chemotherapy is usually recommend
The 20q13 region is frequently amplified/overexpressed in breast tumours. However, the nature of this amplification/overexpression is unknown. Here, we investigated genetic variation in five 20q13 amplicon genes (MYBL2, AURKA, ZNF217, STK4 and PTPN1) and its impact on breast cancer (BC) susceptibility and clinical outcome. As a novel finding, four polymorphisms in STK4 (rs6017452, rs7271519) and A

A parsimonious set of mechanisms explains how and under which conditions behavioral deviations build into cascades that reshape institutional frameworks from the bottom up, even if institutional innovations initially conflict with the legally codified rules of the game. Specifically, we argue that this type of endogenous institutional change emerges from an interplay between three factors: the uti
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Hälsopromotion i skolan förespråkas för att främja välmående och förebygga depressiva symtom hos ungdomar, men insatsernas effektivitet och kostnadseffektivitet behöver utvärderas löpande. Depressiva symtom klassas av WHO som den största sjukdomsbördan hos unga människor och skapar såväl stort lidande för den enskilda och de anhöriga, som höga samhällskostnaderBackground: DISA (Depressive Symptoms In Swedish Adolescents) is a cognitive behavioral intervention aimed at preventing stress and depressive symptoms in adolescents. It is frequently used in Swedish schools for students aged 13-15 years. DISA is commonly offered to females, but at some schools, the intervention is also offered to males. In this study, the application of the intervention for both

In this article I discuss how material things can function as a key to a wider understanding of the mission enterprise. From the example of the Swedish missionary Alma Johansson, who worked among Armenian refugees in Thessaloniki, 1923–1947, I analyze the role of needlework in the humanitarian work and show how exchanges of needlework over the borders created cosmopolitan bonds of solidarity betwe
The CALIFA calorimeter is an advanced detector for gamma rays and light charged particles, accordingly optimized for the demanding requirements of the physics programme proposed for the (RB)-B-3 facility at FAIR. The multipurpose character of CALIFA is required to fulfil challenging demands in energy resolution (5-6% at 1 MeV for gamma rays) and efficiency. Charged particles, e.g. protons of energ
Multiple genetic variants have been reliably associated with obesity-related traits in Europeans, but little is known about their associations and interactions with lifestyle factors in South Asians.
In high-latitude continental shelf environments, late Pleistocene glacial overdeepening and early Holocene eustatic sea-level rise combined to create restricted marine basins with a high vulnerability to oxygen depletion. Here we show that ongoing glacio-isostatic rebound during the Holocene may have played an important role in determining the distribution of past hypoxia in these environments by
In the light of hybrid functional density-functional theory calculations of the core-excited and core-ionized states, this paper discusses original N 1s x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge x-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) experimental data on the single-domain (vicinal) Si(001)-2x1 surface saturated by NH3 at 300 K. The theoretical approach enables to discuss the vibration
Along with rapid growth and improved standards of living, the first decades of the twentieth century saw the introduction of new technology and new ways to organize production. There are contrasting views on what impact these developments, often summarized as the Second Industrial Revolution, had on the situation of old men in the labour market. Some contemporary observers and modern-day historian
