Cancers of the skin are the most commonly occurring cancers in humans. In fair-skinned populations, up to 95% of keratinocyte skin cancers and 70 -95% of cutaneous melanomas are caused by ultraviolet radiation and are thus theoretically preventable. Currently, however, there is no comprehensive global advice on practical steps to be taken to reduce...

Purpose Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are prevalent among multimorbid and polymedicated older adults and can increase the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), hospital admissions, and mortality. This study describes the incidence and prevalence of 66 clinically relevant DDIs and analyses the occurrence of 12 corresponding predefined ADRs in older...

Cultivating wheat (Triticum aestivum) in a closed environment offers applications in both indoor farming and in outer-space farming. Tailoring the photoperiod holds potential to shorten the growth cycle, thereby increasing the annual number of cycles. As wheat is a long-day plant, a night shorter than a critical length is required to induce floweri...

Jongvolwassenen vergelijken zichzelf vaak met ‘ideale’ lichamen op sociale media. Zeker content van fitfluencers, die sterk geïdealiseerd is, zorgt regelmatig voor lichaamsontevredenheid en demotivatie om te sporten bij hun publiek. Deze experimentele studie (18-29 jaar, N = 211) vond geen directe noch indirecte effecten (via uiterlijke vergelijkin...
We develop a binary classifier to evaluate whether the rank condition (RC) is satisfied or not for the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) estimator. The RC postulates that the number of unobserved factors, m, is not larger than the rank of the unobserved matrix of average factor loadings, rho. When this condition fails, the CCE estimator is inconsiste...

Given an infinite family of graphs, its domination ratio is the smallest real k such that for every large enough graph in the family, the ratio between its domination number and order is at most k. We give bounds for the domination ratios of various families of triangulated discs, disproving two conjectures of Tokunaga. For instance, we show that t...
