Rural precarity : relational autonomy, ecological dependence and political immobilisation in the agro-industrial margin
Across the world, economic interests and state-making interventions have converged in dispossessing rural and urban dwellers. Drawing on literature on rural transformation, precarity, and life after dispossession, this paper explores how lifeworlds are constructed after dispossession. Based on ethnographic research in an Afro-descendant village in agro-industrial Colombia, I analyse five income-ge

A simulation model for the design and analysis of district systems with simultaneous heating and cooling demands
Latest generations of district heating and cooling systems are characterised by low network temperature with uninsulated pipes, decentralised heat pumps and chillers to modulate the network temperature, and shared energy flows between interconnected buildings. This paper presents a simulation model for the design and analysis of these systems. The model was developed using the Modelica language an
Disentangling soft and collinear effects in QCD parton showers
We introduce a method for the separation of soft and collinear logarithms in QCD parton evolution at O(αs2) and at leading color. Using an implementation of the technique in the dire parton shower, we analyze the numerical impact of genuine triple-collinear corrections from quark pair emission in e+e-→ hadrons.
Automating scattering amplitudes with chirality flow
Recently we introduced the chirality-flow formalism, a method which builds on the spinor-helicity formalism and is inspired by the color-flow idea in QCD. With this formalism, Feynman rules and diagrams are simplified to the extent that it is often possible to immediately, by hand, write down a helicity amplitude given a Feynman diagram. In this paper we show that the method can also speed up nume
Hepcidin discriminates sepsis from other critical illness at admission to intensive care
Initial differential diagnosis and prognosis for patients admitted to intensive care with suspected sepsis remain arduous. Hepcidin has emerged as a potential biomarker for sepsis. Here we report data on the relevance of levels of hepcidin versus other biomarkers as a diagnostic and prognostic tool for sepsis. 164 adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) within 24 h upon arrival to
Assessing Access to WASH in Urban Schools during COVID-19 in Kazakhstan : Case Study of Central Kazakhstan
The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) produces global estimates of the real situation of access to water, sanitation and hygiene services, and sanitation and hygiene in households, educational institutes and health care facilities; however it is lacking data on schools in Kazakhstan. Thus, the aim of this research was to assess access to WASH
Low-Temperature Characteristics of Nanowire Network Demultiplexer for Qubit Biasing
In current quantum computers, most qubit control electronics are connected to the qubit chip inside the cryostat by cables at room temperature. This poses a challenge when scaling the quantum chip to an increasing number of qubits. We present a lateral nanowire network 1-to-4 demultiplexer design fabricated by selective area grown InGaAs on InP, suitable for on chip routing of DC current for qubit
Energy efficiency at what cost? Unjust burden-sharing of rent increases in extensive energy retrofitting projects in Sweden
Although renovation costs can lead to rent increases in energy retrofitting, it is often assumed that reductions in energy costs will counterbalance the rent increase. In Swedish multifamily housing, energy costs for heating are however generally included as a fixed component in the monthly rent, meaning that the rent increase after energy retrofitting corresponds to the net change in rent level aAlthough renovation costs can lead to rent increases in energy retrofitting, it is often assumed that reductions in energy costs will counterbalance the rent increase.

Collective guiding of acoustically propelled nano- and microparticles
One of the most important potential applications of motile nano- and microdevices is targeted drug delivery. To realize this, biocompatible particles that can be guided collectively towards a target inside a patient's body are required. Acoustically propelled nano- and microparticles constitute a promising candidate for such biocompatible, artificial motile particles. The main remaining obstacle t
Extended High Frequency Hearing, but Not Tinnitus, Is Associated With Every-Day Cognitive Performance
Research into the potential associations between tinnitus and cognition has investigated specific cognitive domains in laboratory settings despite adults with tinnitus reporting broad cognitive difficulties in every-day life. To address this limitation, the present study compared performance and perceived exertion on a visual office-like task in 38 adults with tinnitus (19 with normal hearing and
Establishing factors to consider while adopting the agile approach in manufacturing companies
Due to the current fast-paced business environment, new approaches to product development (PD) have been requested. In that matter, the agile approach has gained interest among researchers and practitioners. Based on its positive results in the software industry, it has started to be adopted in the manufacturing industry. Nevertheless, there are factors that manufacturing companies must consider w
Urholkade sociala relationer i distansarbete under coronapandemin
Denna artikel har som syfte att förstå hur anställda upplever att relationerna till kollegorna förändrades när de blev förhindrade att mötas fysiskt i det påtvingade distansarbetet under coronapandemin. Studien baseras på djupintervjuer med anställda inom kunskapsintensiva yrken. Resultatet visar på (i) färre kontakter, (ii) minskad tillgänglighet och (iii) försvagad dynamik mellan kollegor. Sluts
Relationship between cerebrospinal fluid neurodegeneration biomarkers and temporal brain atrophy in cognitively healthy older adults
It is unclear whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of neurodegeneration predict brain atrophy in cognitively healthy older adults, whether these associations can be explained by phosphorylated tau181 (p-tau) and the 42 amino acid form of amyloid-β (Aβ42) biomarkers, and which neural substrates may drive these associations. We addressed these questions in 2 samples of cognitively healthy ol
Beyond genotype-phenotype maps : Toward a phenotype-centered perspective on evolution
Evolutionary biology is paying increasing attention to the mechanisms that enable phenotypic plasticity, evolvability, and extra-genetic inheritance. Yet, there is a concern that these phenomena remain insufficiently integrated within evolutionary theory. Understanding their evolutionary implications would require focusing on phenotypes and their variation, but this does not always fit well with t
Measurement of the relative Bc± /B± production cross section with the ATLAS detector at s =8 TeV MEASUREMENT of the RELATIVE Bc± /B± ... AABOUD M. et al.
The total cross section and differential cross sections for the production of Bc± mesons, times their branching fraction to J/ψπ±, are measured relative to those for the production of B± mesons, times their branching fraction to J/ψK±. The data used for this study correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb-1 of pp collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 201
School Nurses’ Perceptions About Student's Wellbeing During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Sweden
The coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic has affected both the private and public lives of people worldwide. Countries have chosen different strategies to reduce the spread of infection, including school closures and distance learning. This study aimed to describe school nurses’ perceptions about the wellbeing of students during the Covid-19 pandemic in Sweden. Interviews in five focus groups and
Planned cesarean section vs planned vaginal delivery among women without formal medical indication for planned cesarean section : A retrospective cohort study of maternal short-term complications
Introduction: Rates of delivery by cesarean section have gradually risen in many parts of the world, and it is regarded as a safe surgical procedure with expanded indications. We assessed maternal complications within 6 weeks postpartum after planned cesarean section and after planned vaginal delivery among patients without medical indication for cesarean section. Material and methods: This was a
