Art probing and worldmaking : Exploring museum imaginaries

How can artistic creative practice be combined with ethnological cultural analysis? A process based on practices of art probing is proposed and related to discussions about museum imaginaries, digital cultures and sensory aspects of ethnography. The point of departure for the discussion is the audiovisual performance Possible Worlds.How can artistic creative practice be combined with ethnological cultural analysis?

Intelligent, Flexible production in an Energy System Dominated by Renewables.

It is well known that the electricity price varies between days but also withinthe day, sometimes even resulting in negative prices. Flexible production unitscould take advantage of those variations by adapting the production accordingly. However, few studies exists that compare the cost effectiveness of different types of production units while taking these within day price variations into accoun

TGFB1 is secreted through an unconventional pathway dependent on the autophagic machinery and cytoskeletal regulators

TGFB1 (transforming growth factor beta 1) is a potent cytokine playing a driving role in development, fibrosis and cancer. It is synthesized as prodomain-growth factor complex that requires tethering to LTBP (latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein) for efficient secretion into the extracellular space. Upon release, this large latent complex is sequestered by anchorage to extracellu

The intracranial pressure curve correlates to the pulsatile component of cerebral blood flow

Current methods to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the neuro critical care setting cannot monitor the CBF continuously. In contrast, continuous measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) is readily accomplished, and there is a component of ICP that correlates with arterial inflow of blood into the cranial cavity. This property may have utility in using continuous ICP curve analysis to continu

Plasma MOTS-c levels are associated with insulin sensitivity in lean but not in obese individuals

Mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA-c (MOTS-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that attenuates weight gain and hyperinsulinemia when administered to high fat-fed mice. MOTS-c is therefore a potential regulator of metabolic homeostasis under conditions of high-energy supply. However, the effect of insulin resistance and obesity on plasma MOTS-c concentration in humans is unknown. To

The PanCareSurFup cohort of 83,333 five-year survivors of childhood cancer : a cohort from 12 European countries

Childhood cancer survivors face risks from a variety of late effects, including cardiac events, second cancers, and late mortality. The aim of the pan-European PanCare Childhood and Adolescent Cancer Survivor Care and Follow-Up Studies (PanCareSurFup) Consortium was to collect data on incidence and risk factors for these late effects among childhood cancer survivors in Europe. This paper describes

Characteristics of nFOG, an aerosol-based wet thin film coating technique

An atmospheric pressure aerosol-based wet thin film coating technique called the nFOG is characterized and applied in polymer film coatings. In the nFOG, a fog of droplets is formed by two air-assist atomizers oriented toward each other inside a deposition chamber. The droplets settle gravitationally and deposit on a substrate, forming a wet film. In this study, the continuous deposition mode of t

Amyloid blood biomarker detects Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is currently incurable, but there is general agreement that a minimally invasive blood biomarker for screening in preclinical stages would be crucial for future therapy. Diagnostic tools for detection of AD are either invasive like cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers or expensive such as positron emission tomography (PET) scanning. Here, we determine the secondary structu

Relationship to parents in adulthood with a background of out-of-home care in childhood

The longitudinal study started with children aged up to 4 who had been taken into care because of unacceptable living conditions and deficient parental care. After their initial stay in a children's home, the 26 children in the research group went on to have diverse placement histories throughout their childhood (up to age 18). The children have been divided into 4 subgroups in accordance with the

An Intuitive Design Method for Disturbance-Rejecting Peak Filters

We present a method for augmenting a nominal controller with a peak filter to achieve improved rejection of narrowband disturbances. The method is based on consideration of the open-loop Nyquist curve, which arguably makes it more intuitive and flexible than previous approaches. We also comment on some implementation aspects, and give an application example based on a control problem at a particle

Pathophysiology of meningioma growth in pregnancy

Meningioma is among the most frequent brain tumours predominantly affecting elderly women. Epidemiological studies have shown that at the age of fertility the incidence is relatively low. The biological behaviour of meningioma in pregnancy is different from other meningiomas. The possible explanation is rooted in the complex physiological changes and hormonal differences during pregnancy. The incr

Characterization of protein-protein interactions in recombinant hemoglobin producing escherichia coli cells using molecularly imprinted polymers

The worldwide blood shortage has generated demands for alternatives to transfusible human blood. One such important option is based on recombinant hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (rHBOCs). Most efforts have been focused on various E. coli based production systems. One of the key challenges in these systems is to devise an efficient and economical protein production strategy involving selection of

Heavy flavor production in high-energy pp collisions : Color dipole description

We present a detailed study of open heavy flavor production in high-energy pp collisions at the LHC in the color dipole framework. The transverse momentum distributions of produced b-jets, accounting for the jet energy loss, as well as produced open charm D and bottom B mesons in distinct rapidity intervals relevant for LHC measurements are computed. The dipole model results for the differential b

Hur påverkas lustgas- och metanavgivning av stubbskörd?

I fyra försök var utsläppen av de kraftfulla växthusgaserna lustgas och metan ungefär på samma nivå från stubbskördade ytor som från ytor där stubbarna var kvar. Inte heller markberedning gav några signifikanta effekter. De här studierna är de första i världen på det här området, och resultaten måste därför tolkas med viss försiktighet.

Soft tissue angiofibroma : Clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical and molecular analysis of 14 cases

Soft tissue angiofibroma is rare and has characteristic histomorphological and genetic features. For diagnostic purposes, there are no specific antibodies available. Fourteen lesions (6 females, 8 males; age range 7-67 years) of the lower extremities (12) and trunk (2) were investigated by immunohistochemistry, including for the first time NCOA2. NCOA2 was also tested in a control group of other s
