In this study, we assessed to what extent data on the subject of TPPR (transfer, persistence, prevalence, recovery) that are obtained through an older STR typing kit can be used in an activity-level evaluation for a case profiled with a more modern STR kit. Newer kits generally hold more loci and may …

The Institute of Network Cultures and the Learning Community Critical Making are proud to present the Post-Precarity Zine, a toolbox for beginning artists. Times have changed. The art world and the creative economy are no longer the ones we used to know. The digital economy, the pandemic, and the cuts …

The simultaneous analysis of a broad range of polar ionogenic metabolites using capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) can be challenging, as two different analytical methods are often required, that is, one for cations and one for anions. Even though CE-MS has shown to be an effective method …

Our current take-make-dispose economic model faces a vital challenge as it extracts resources from the natural environment at faster rates than that the natural environment can replenish. A circular economy where businesses lower their negative impact on the natural environment by transitioning towards …

An effective implementation approach is crucial for successful integration of structured risk assessment instruments into practice. This qualitative study explored barriers and facilitators to the implementation of the Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability: Adolescent Version (START:AV) in a …

It can be concluded that the HBM4EU serum sample preparation method is suitable for Effect-Directed Analysis. The method allows a recovery of all bioactive compounds of interest from serum in the EDA products, with little loss of compounds: bioassay spectra and chromatograms. Nevertheless, the HBM4EU …

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has a poor prognosis in advanced stages. High-dose chemotherapy (HDC) was pursued in the 1990s but was not found to improve survival of patients with EOC in larger studies. Many patients with cancer use Viscum album extracts (VAE). Also called European mistletoe, Viscum …

Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) represent a green chemistry alternative to utilization of common hazardous organic solvents. They were introduced by Abbott et al. [1], and were found to have a wide range of compositions and favorable properties. NADES are typically obtained by mixing hydrogen-bond …

Rationale: Metastatic pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis. Many patients seek integrative care as an add-on to their conventional cancer treatment. Viscum album extracts (VAE)—widely used as an adjunct to cancer treatment—have cytotoxic, apoptogenic, and immune stimulatory properties. A statistically …
