Divergent Patterns and Trends in Breast Cancer Incidence, Mortality and Survival Among Older Women in Germany and the United States
2020
Background: Breast cancer treatment has changed tremendously over the last decades. In addition, the use of mammography screening for early detection has increased strongly. To evaluate the impact of these developments, long-term trends in incidence, mortality, stage distribution and survival were investigated for Germany and the United States (US). Methods: Using population-based cancer registry data, long-term incidence and mortality trends (1975&ndash
An experimental and theoretical study of a heptacoordinated tungsten(VI) complex of a noninnocent phenylenediamine bis(phenolate) ligand
2018
Abstract [W(N2O2)(HN2O2)] (H4N2O2 = N,N′-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-phenylenediamine) with a noninnocent ligand was formed by reaction of the alkoxide precursor [W(eg)3] (eg = the 1,2-ethanediolate dianion) with two equivalents of ligand. The phenol groups on one of the ligands are completely deprotonated and the ligand coordinates in a tetradentate fashion, whereas the other ligand is tridentate with one phenol having an intact OH group. The molecular structure, magnetic measurements, EPR spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations indicate that the complex is a stable radical with the odd electron situated on the tridentate amidophenoxide ligand. The formal ox…
Evidence of Single State Dominance in the Two-Neutrino Double-β Decay of ^{82}Se with CUPID-0.
2019
We report on the measurement of the two-neutrino double-β decay of ^{82}Se performed for the first time with cryogenic calorimeters, in the framework of the CUPID-0 experiment. With an exposure of 9.95 kg yr of Zn^{82}Se, we determine the two-neutrino double-β decay half-life of ^{82}Se with an unprecedented precision level, T_{1/2}^{2ν}=[8.60±0.03(stat) _{-0.13}^{+0.19}(syst)]×10^{19} yr. The very high signal-to-background ratio, along with the detailed reconstruction of the background sources allowed us to identify the single state dominance as the underlying mechanism of such a process, demonstrating that the higher state dominance hypothesis is disfavored at the level of 5.5σ.
TTIP - szansa czy zagrożenie dla Unii Europejskiej, jej przedsiębiorców i obywateli? Próba analizy skutków umowy
2017
Transatlantyckie Partnerstwo w dziedzinie Handlu i Inwestycji (TTIP) to jedna z najbardziej obszernych i kontrowersyjnych współczesnych umów. Negocjowana od 2013 r. między UE a USA wykracza daleko poza likwidację ceł między stronami. Jej kompleksowość i stopień złożoności budzi tyleż pozytywnych, co negatywnych komentarzy, nadziei i obaw. W poniższym tekście autor, oprócz zwięzłego przedstawienia założeń i celów porozumienia, skupia się na stwierdzonych lub prognozowanych jego konsekwencjach dla Unii Europejskiej. W szczególności nacisk położony został na skutki dla podmiotów prowadzących działalność gospodarczą oraz obywateli Unii (przede wszystkim konsumentów). Wyjaśnione zostało także, c…
Codification of the civil law in the 19th century United States
2021
“A code, or not a code—that is the question!”. Many countries asked themselves that very question. In the United-States that question was asked during the American codification movement, and answered, in chronological, with the civil codes of Louisiana from 1808, 1825; the Code of Georgia from 1862; the Revised Civil Code of Louisiana of 1870, the Civil Code of California of 1872, the Civil Code of Dakota Territory of 1872, the Revised Code of North Dakota of 1895, the Civil Code of Montana of 1895, and the Revised Code of South Dakota of 1903. One other civil code in is the Field Civil Code, also called the 1860 Project of Civil Code for the state of New York. Even though it was never adop…
Economic History of the United States
2019
How did the United States of America arrive where it is today? Growing from an extremely poor and sparsely populated land into the wealthiest nation on earth, USA is a colonial success story. But there is more to the story than economic growth; poverty, inequality, racial conflict, declining fertility, violence, and economic instability are outcomes of economic decisions that were made in the past. During this course we will go over the characteristics, the main facts of the US economy that can be credited for its exceptional historic economic growth with an eye to understand its current economic conditions. We will break down the individual components of the US economy that have contribute…
Changes in the receptor profile of the lower urinary tract in the aging male
2004
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of th e most common effects of aging in men. Epidemiologists estimate that about one quarter of all men over 50 years of age suffer from BPH-derived voiding symptoms. Future demographic developments, with higher relative shares of older people, will increase the socioeconomic impact of this disease. Polder et al. (1994) calculated for the Netherlands that the treatment costs of BPH will double by 2035. Office visits for BPH related symptoms increased in the USA from 1.4 million in 1990 to 6 million in 1995, reflecting the increased public awareness of the problem and the increased desire for treatment (Kaplan et al. 1996).
Prescription opioid use and employment : A nationwide Finnish register study
2021
Background: The secular decline in labor market participation and the concurrent increase in opioid use in many developed countries have sparked a policy debate on the possible connection between these two trends. We examined whether the use of prescription opioids was connected to labor market outcomes relating to participation, employment and unemployment among the Finnish population. Methods: The working-age population (aged 19–64 years) living in Finland during the period 1995–2016 was used in the analyses (consisting of 67 903 701 person-year observations). Lagged values of prescription opioid use per capita were used as the exposure. Instrumental variables (IV) estimation method was u…

Izraelskie inspiracje amerykańskiej wojny z terrorem
2016
Celem rozdziału jest wyjaśnienie, w jakiej mierze polityka Izraela wobec jego wrogów inspirowała amerykańskie zmagania w ramach tzw. wojny z terrorem. Autorzy skupiają się na trzech obszarach - torturach, administracyjnych zatrzymaniach i tzw. celowanych zabójstwach. Wszystkie one uznano za legalne w systemach prawnych izraelskim i amerykańskim, podczas gdy są one zakazane przez prawo międzynarodowe, w tym konwencje genewskie. Amerykanie po zamachach z 11 września 2001 roku poszli w ślady państwa żydowskiego w tych kwestiach. Izrael, państwo, które od lat otrzymuje wielkie wsparcie ze Stanów Zjednoczonych, wskazał tym drugim sposoby radzenia sobie z terroryzmem.
