In 1807, Britain outlawed the slave trade across its empire. Yet in the Cape Colony, households continued accumulating slaves for decades afterwards. New evidence from digitised tax censuses suggests the answer lies not in labour demand, but in the financial value of enslaved people as capital assets.
INTRODUCTION: Autoantibodies against insulin (IAA) are early appearing markers of autoimmunity against the pancreatic islet beta cells and predict progression to type 1 diabetes if additional islet autoantibodies also develop. It is still controversial if proinsulin rather than insulin is the primary autoantibody.METHODS: The aim of the present study was to compare the half-maximal concentration (
Wearable eye trackers and other glasses move on the wearer’s face. Such slippage can cause large offsets in the reported gaze position, and significant data loss. How much slippage may be expected during natural behavior? Here we report on the movement of two eye trackers and two smart glasses on the wearer’s head, recorded using a motion capture setup while thirty-five participants performed ten
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) are associated with higher risk of prostate cancer (PC). The IMPACT study evaluated the utility of targeted prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening in BRCA1/BRCA2 PGV carriers. Here we report outcomes after five rounds of PSA screening in IMPACT.METHODS: Between 2005 and 2015, 3063 participants aged 40-69 yr (median 54
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Although the effects of 5-α-reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) have been well-studied, the effects on other kallikrein markers have not been firmly established. Accordingly, a statistical model based on blood measurements of four kallikreins-known commercially as the "4Kscore"-cannot be used for men taking 5-ARIs. We investigated how finaster
Contribution presenting the awarded Europan 5 project Arquitectura Simpática for La Chanca, Almería (Spain), published within a collective Europan publication documenting selected competition projects through drawings, texts and project material.
Conversation published in Europanic, a publication documenting the history and development of Europan in Sweden. The conversation reflects on the author’s experience through five awarded editions of the Europan competition in Spain, Norway and Sweden. Europan is a biennial European competition and platform for architecture, housing and urban development involving multiple European countries and mu
Dawn and her best friend Amber are students at Stillwater School, an experimental academy that’s the laughingstock of Atlanta. When Ms. Ella arrives to teach the eighth grade, she shakes up the school with her radical ideas and violent discipline, building an enthusiastic following and even winning the loyalty of rebellious Dawn.The imprint she leaves on her students is both profound and damaging,
Back cover:Addie and Dorian have always been together: the two sisters have spent most of their lives in a locked ward after being diagnosed with a rare psychiatric condition and accused of murder as children. Now on the cusp of adulthood, Addie plans to start a new family to replace the one she lost, while Dorian struggles with her own violent tendencies to help raise her sister's child. But Dr.
In the 1880s, the Anglo-German feminist freethinker Mathilde Blind wrote a series of poems inspired by her residence in Manchester. Our chapter reads Blind’s Manchester poems through the lens of the atmospheric humanities, focusing on how these poems show the entanglement of the human with both urban and natural environments, gesture towards an imagined future for those marginalized in industrial
Awarded competition proposal for Lerum (Sweden), published in AV Proyectos 036 within a curated international selection of projects. The proposal explores housing, infrastructure and landscape through a psychogeographic approach to urban development, combining residential diversity, public space and adaptive urban growth strategies. The publication includes drawings, diagrams and project material
Heatwaves increasingly challenge urban electricity networks by intensifying and reshaping cooling demand over extended periods. This study investigates how weather-informed Adaptive Reinforcement Learning for Energy Management (ARLEM), a decentralized model-free control framework, redistributes cooling demand and manages systems stress during sustained heatwaves, focusing on the roles of forecast
BACKGROUND/AIM: Determining the causation of an injury in living individuals is a key task for forensic pathologists. However, little is known about sex-based differences in injury characteristics. The study aims to examine sex-based differences in single stab injuries to the trunk among assault survivors, to potentially identify injury patterns that could aid forensic assessment and help in the m
This thesis investigates subspaces of the Hardy space, especially ones defined via analytic continuation, and their applications to operator theory. The main function theoretic properties investigated are the distribution of zeros and extremal functions. The operator theory investigations are centered around the concept of invariant subspaces and cyclic vectors.
In this chapter, we use the notion of social resilience as a heuristic device to explore the shifting boundaries between legality and illegality in the context of migration to a hybrid political regime. Our case study focuses on the creative and multifaceted ways Uzbek migrants navigate the Russian legal landscape. Drawing on the life histories of two Uzbek migrants who relocated to Moscow, we sho
BACKGROUND: Our aim was to explore the reasoning and experiences of women when offered a self-sampling HPV test.METHODS: This study implemented a qualitative study design and content analysis using an inductive approach. Data consisted of written narratives collected through open-ended questions from a total of 173 women. Women were included if they had been offered a self-sampling device since Se
