Pop Theory: The Architecture of Late Night Shopping

Inviting audiences into the late-night, precarious world of (photo)shopping, we explore the way in which the ghostly figures of the Photoshop world – its exhausted architects, indebted consumers, and the two-dimensional cut-outs that populate its spaces – are all put to use in a project of producing subjectivities through environments. Feminist critiques of visuality provide a basis in understandi

Photodouble ionization dynamics for fixed-in-space H2

The Coulomb explosion of the hydrogen molecule, after absorption of a 76eV photon, has been studied by momentum imaging the two electrons and the two protons. Absolute fully differential cross sections of high statistical quality are obtained. A subset of the overall data, namely, equal electron-energy sharing, is used to investigate the effects of molecular orientation on the photoelectron angula

Analysis of uv-visible fluorescence following inner-shell excitation of N2 molecules

The relaxation processes of inner-shell excited N molecules were studied using dispersed fluorescence spectroscopy in the wavelength region 250≤λfluo≤1000 nm. For molecular states, the decay of the N2 + B 2Σu state was analyzed under vibrational resolution. Strong intensities for emissions from neutral and singly charged atomic fragments were observed.

Mediated visions: IT entrepreneurs and internet visions in China

In order to understand how visions and narratives about the Internet are articulated, negotiated, and circulated in China, one needs to address and unpack a number of interrelated issues. It is important to map who has the possibility to articulate visions on the Internet in China, who is actually doing it and why, what having a ‘vision’ actually means, and which platforms different individuals an

Human Rights Online: Chinese Perspectives and Global Developments

The Internet is often described as a space for creativity, empowerment, and knowledge that builds on a vision of freedom and borderless connectivity. It is also regarded as an enabler of different human rights, with some even considering access to the Internet as a human right itself. But is this perspective shared by all, and what is the situation like in China?

What Do We See Through the Service-Dominant Lens? Insights from a Swedish Public Service Case

The service-dominant logic in the context of public services has only previously been studied empirically to a very limited degree. The purpose of this article is to provide knowledge of what the theory of service-dominant logic makes visible in public service practice. The empirical material is case concerning a new public service organisation – a service centre.

On the road to ‘research municipalities’: analysing transdisciplinarity in municipal ecosystem services and adaptation planning

Transdisciplinary research and collaboration is widely acknowledged as a critical success factor for solution-oriented approaches that can tackle complex sustainability challenges, such as biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate-related hazards. In this context, city governments’ engagement in transdisciplinarity is generally seen as a key condition for societal transformation towards sustainabi

Identifying Five Different Perspectives on the Ecosystem Services Concept Using Q Methodology

The objective of this paper is to recognize and categorize the various ways that ecosystem services researchers perceive the concept and purpose of ecosystem services (ES). To do so, we employed the discourse analysis approach of Q methodology, where 33 researchers ranked 39 statements on ES derived from the literature. Factor analysis of the Q sorts allowed for the interpretation of five main per

Greimasean phenomenology and beyond : From isotopy to time consciousness

In spite of appearances, the true encounter between Husserlean phenomenology and Parisian school semiotics still has not occurred. In this paper, I suggest that, by adopting ideas from phenomenology, many of which have received new currency in contemporary cognitive science, we can retain a basic formality of the theory, without yielding to any reductionist tendency. After a brief look at the hidd

Study on oligomerization of glutamate decarboxylase from Lactobacillus brevis using asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) with light scattering techniques

In this work, asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) coupled with UV/Vis, multi-angle light scattering (MALS), and differential refractive index (dRI) detectors (AF4-UV-MALS-dRI) was employed for analysis of glutamate decarboxylase (LbGadB) from Lactobacillus brevis (L. brevis). AF4 provided molecular weight (MW) (or size)-based separation of dimer, hexamer, and aggregates of LbGadB. The

Safety and efficacy of autoantigen-specific therapy with 2 doses of alum-formulated glutamate decarboxylase in children with multiple islet autoantibodies and risk for type 1 diabetes : A randomized clinical trial

OBJECTIVE: Treatments have failed to delay or stop the autoimmune process, preceding onset of type 1 diabetes. We investigated if autoantigen-specific treatment with alum-formulated glutamate decarboxylase (GAD-Alum) was safe and affected progression to type 1 diabetes in children with islet autoimmunity.METHODS: In an investigator-initiated, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, non-di

Population trends in the incidence and initial management of osteoarthritis : age-period-cohort analysis of the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, 1992-2013

Objective: To determine recent trends in the rate and management of new cases of OA presenting to primary healthcare using UK nationally representative data.Methods: Using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink we identified new cases of diagnosed OA and clinical OA (including OA-relevant peripheral joint pain in those aged over 45 years) using established code lists. For both definitions we esti

Receptor tyrosine kinases and circulating tumor cells as new prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer with special focus on TNBC

About 8000 Swedish women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and around 1500 die from the disease. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) constitutes 7-14% of all breast cancer and is characterized by an aggressive phenotype with poor prognosis and no targeted therapy available. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate new potential prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer, and with special focu

Spectroscopic techniques using synchrotron radiation and free-electron and conventional lasers

Considerable progress in the investigation of the electronic and vibrational properties of atoms, molecules, materials, surfaces and interfaces has been achieved by combining different photon sources of complementary characteristics. In this paper some experimental results obtained recently at LURE by using two synchronized sources, such as the IR free-electron laser (FEL) CLIO, the VUV storage ri

Towards end-user development of graphical user interfaces for internet of things

Graphical user interface (GUI) development is generally complicated, time-consuming, and requires programming knowledge. In the context of the internet of things, this work focuses on producing an efficient development approach that also supports non-experts. We introduce a novel "inverted" development approach that does not require program code to be written - a step towards supporting end-user d
