1-130 : Selected works Ghassan Bishouty b. 1941 Safad, Palestine — d. 2004 Amman, Jordan

Which images are made manifest across an artist’s practice and which are the ones that disappear? How do objects—whether seen or unseen—and the knowledge they possess traverse across place and time to avow their resistance? These are amongst the questions asked by artist Nour Bishouty in her artist’s book 1—130, a project that draws upon her ongoing research into the works of her father, Ghassan B

An investigation into the characteristics of reactive silicon pools of coastal marine sediments

Many studies use traditional alkaline leach digestions to quantify biogenic silica (bSiO2) in sediments. Studies from river-plume systems demonstrate this methodology precludes information on other operational Si reactive pools, missing potentially valuable information on early diagenetic products. We build on previous studies by broadly examining the reactive Si pools in Mississippi River plume-i

Dose-dependent effects of acetaminophen and ibuprofen on mitochondrial respiration of human platelets

Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are widely used over-the-counter medications to reduce fever, pain, and inflammation. Although both drugs are safe in therapeutic concentrations, self-medication is practiced by millions of aged patients with comorbidities that decrease drug metabolism and/or excretion, thus raising the risk of overdosage. Mitochondrial dysfunction has emerged as an important pathomecha

Association of polypharmacy with occurrence of loneliness and social isolation among older adults

BackgroundPolypharmacy is increasing. The longitudinal association of polypharmacy and social isolation has not been previously reported. The aim of this study was to explore longitudinal associations of polypharmacy with loneliness and social isolation among older adults.MethodsParticipants aged 60 years and above in southern Sweden were invited for participation. A total of 1526 and 2556 partici

From sufficiency to sustainable abundance: disspelling a myth

The Paris Agreement sets the goal of a complete global phase-out of fossil fuel use by the end of the 21st century and an 80-95% reduction of carbon emissions in affluent countries by 2050. Obviously, efficiency gains alone cannot deliver the required reductions (Alfredsson et al. 2018), due to rebound effects (York, Adua, and Clark 2022) and the increasing pace of growth (Hickel 2020). It is sugg

Two new Thereus species from Peru, with notes on ecological niche partitioning (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Theclinae)

Male hairstreaks (Theclinae) are often territorial, known for occupying their observation posts at a specific time during the day and at a certain height in the vegetation. The time and height for their perch vary from species to species but remain surprisingly stable year after year in any particular location. From these strategic observation posts males can check the passage of virgin females an

Enablements and constraints : Inventorying affordances associated with lingua franca English

Transcultural flows of capital, culture and communication have created conditions for the widespread movement of people around the globe, leading to increasing diversity in countries of destination. In contexts of global migration lingua franca English is indispensable in initial and survival communication. For migrants to northern European countries where lingua franca English functions as a 'con

The exploration about the textual internet meme: a case study of KFC Crazy Thursday textual meme marketing activity in mainland China

In the digital era, the way people communicate has been greatly changed by information and communication technologies, such as social media. Internet memes spread virally among the public through social media platforms and utilized by contemporary people to communicate in the virtual world. Marketers or managers notice the impacts of internet memes and regard them as an effective tool to promote c

Evaluating Existing Market for Deep Energy Renovation in Sweden and Denmark

Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU. Sweden andDenmark are cold climatic countries with strong demand for space heating and hot water in the residential sector. Large section of the detached houses in these countries are built more than 30 years ago and need refurbishment. Despite of huge energy saving potentials with deep renovation of these

Truths and myths about superfoods in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic

Nowadays, during the current COVID-19 pandemic, consumers increasingly seek foods that not only fulfill the basic need (i.e., satisfying hunger) but also enhance human health and well-being. As a result, more attention has been given to some kinds of foods, termed " superfoods," making big claims about their richness in valuable nutrients and bioactive compounds as well as their capability to prev

An mTRAN-mRNA interaction mediates mitochondrial translation initiation in plants

Plant mitochondria represent the largest group of respiring organelles on the planet. Plant mitochondrial messenger RNAs (mRNAs) lack Shine-Dalgarno-like ribosome-binding sites, so it is unknown how plant mitoribosomes recognize mRNA. We show that “mitochondrial translation factors” mTRAN1 and mTRAN2 are land plant–specific proteins, required for normal mitochondrial respiration chain biogenesis.

Between Mezhep and Minority : Twelver Shiʿism in the Turkish Public Sphere

Despite the growth in scholarship on diverse religious communities in Turkey, little attention has been paid to Twelver Shiʿi Muslims. Since the founding of the Republic, the Turkish state's foundational secularist agenda has attempted to control and promote a single hegemonic form of Islam, and Shiʿa have faced continuous issues practicing their faith in public as a result. While the liberalizati

Heat transfer enhancement and flow characteristics of internal cooling channels with slit vortex generators

Vortex generators can boost heat transfer performance greatly, although they are always linked with significant pressure drops. In this article, to reduce the pressure drop while improving the thermal efficiency simultaneously, traditional delta winglet pair vortex generators (DWPVG) with slits are installed in the rectangular channel. Besides, the effects of slits on DWPVG on pressure drops and h

Does model of care affect women s health and wellbeing in the perinatal period in Sweden?

Background/Aims Self-rated health before, during and after pregnancy is important for women s quality of life and promotes bonding between mother and child. However, diverse aspects of care models influence women s experiences during pregnancy. This study aimed to investigate low?risk women s self-rated health during the perinatal period in relation to different models of care in Sweden. Methods A

The Shadow Side of Migration: Exploring the Nexus between Undocumentedness, Informality and Crime among Uzbek Migrants in Sweden

This article discusses the relationship between undocumentedness, informality, and vulnerability to crime among migrants, using the strain theory as a conceptual framework. Research on victimisation and engagement in crime among migrants is limited, and existing studies tend to focus on one aspect rather than the interplay between the two. This study focuses on the experiences of the Uzbek communi

Vertical greenery systems värdepåverkan på fastigheter

Med en globalt pågående urbanisering har stadsplaneringstrategin förtätning antagits världen över för att skapa urbana miljöer som kan rymma större mängder människor på ett hållbart sätt. Ohållbara konsekvenser har dock uppmärksammats till följd av denna process där grönska och natur är en av stadens dimensioner som har drabbats. Utöver en större värnad av befintliga grönområden inom stadsplanerinWith a globally ongoing urbanization, densification worldwide has been assumed as an urban planning strategy to sustainably accommodate large numbers of people. However, several unsustainable developments have come to attention as a result, where urban green spaces are one aspect that have become negatively affected. Apart from protecting existing natural environments, efforts are made to seek out
