This article examines why some economies sustain large financial sectors without experiencing the negative effects on economic performance predicted by the finance-threshold literature. It analyzes South Korea and Taiwan during their economic transformations from the 1960s to early 2000s, combining descriptive statistics on financial depth (private credit-to-GDP) and economic shrinking (years of n

Bakgrund/Syfte*: Vilka aktiviteter som hemtjänstanvändare får hjälp med regleras viabiståndsbeslut, men det är oklart om stödet motsvarar deras önskan om vad de vill göra föraktiviteter för att få en meningsfull vardag.

Extensive research is currently being conducted to develop anion exchange membranes (AEMs) with high hydroxide conductivity and chemical stability, aiming to increase efficiency and lifetime of alkaline membrane fuel cells, water electrolyzers, and flow batteries. In this context, poly(arylene alkylene)s have recently emerged to offer great opportunities and flexibility to molecularly design and p

BACKGROUND: Non-coding RNAs have been drawing increasing attention in recent years as functional data suggest that they play important roles in key cellular processes. N-BLR is a primate-specific long non-coding RNA that modulates the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, facilitates cell migration, and increases colorectal cancer invasion.RESULTS: We performed multivariate analyses of data from t

Early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is crucial for successful treatment and mortality reduction. In this regard, blood-based tests play an indispensable role. Current research is focused on molecules actively secreted by tumor cells into small extracellular vesicles (EVs). This four-phase study included 613 CRC patients, 446 controls, and 120 precancerous lesions. High-throughput transcript

Climate change is primarily driven by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Reducing these emissions globally requires a massive effort at the individual, city, and national scales. Urban areas are hotspots of anthropogenic emissions, given the high density of human-based activities, and clarity on the variations of emissions in these areas will enable effective targeted reduction plans. Ho

We study gender differences in the response to losing competitions using an online experiment (N=2,086). We find that both genders reduce tournament entry rates in response to losses that are unequivocally meritocratic. However, when the winner is not necessarily determined by merit—a setting perceived as less fair than the meritocratic tournament—female losers are relatively more discouraged. The

The EU’s recent regulatory approach in the digital sphere promises to introduce greater consideration for fundamental rights. However, this does not apply to all fundamental rights and their holders equally. With particular focus on the freedom to conduct a business, this article will be exploring the restrictions imposed on certain undertakings—so-called gatekeepers—operating in the Digital Singl

All over the developed world there is a SES gradient in health and mortality for adults. Thesemortality differentials have also widened since the 1970s in the countries for which there aredata. Our knowledge about conditions in the more distant past is much more rudimentary, andwe do not know when and why the mortality gradient emerged. In this paper we studydifferences in life expectancy at age 6

By optically sensing mid-infrared absorption through a visible probe beam, mid-infrared photothermal (MIP) microscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for chemical imaging with micromolar sensitivity and submicron spatial resolution. The adoption of spatially multiplexed camera-based widefield detection further enhanced the imaging speed. However, current widefield MIP systems suffer from a small fi
