The Taiwanese government has actively promoted and established policies for developing fuel cell research and industrial activities since the early 2000s. The activities, including those of Taiwanese policy actors, private firms, and research institutions, are part of a fuel cell innovation ecosystem. Through an embedded case study, this paper examines past national policies, sectoral-level develo

The wide range of properties, relative ease and low cost of using Deep Eutectic Solvents garners them interest in an ever expanding range of applications. Among common DES components many are naturally occurring chiral molecules. Here we present the liquid structure of either single enantiomeric or racemic tartaric acid with choline chloride at a molar ratio of 2 choline chloride to 1 tartaric aci

Praxis is born out of critical discussions and reflections on violence, justice, and peace, taking place in a classroom at Lund University in a course led by Barbara Magalhães Teixeira (shoutout!). It is the result of frustration linked to the current global state of affairs, as well as the colonial and patriarchal legacies and continued practices within the field we seek a place in. Mostly, it is

Environmentally persistent polystyrene or polyacrylic beads are used as supports in enzyme large-scale bioprocesses, including conversion glucose isomerization for high-fructose corn syrup production, hydrolysis of lactose, and synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. In this paper, we report the development of a novel sustainable and scalable method to produce diaminated cellulose beads (D

International research collaborations engage multiple countries, researchers, and universities. This enhances the magnitude of contextual challenges, including legal and ethical dimensions across various jurisdictions, that must be bridged in qualitative research regardless of discipline, also in the construction of informed consents. From a Scandinavian perspective, this discussion paper explores

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are mixtures of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors that form strongly hydrogen-bonded room temperature liquids. Changing the H-bonding components and their ratios can alter the physicochemical properties of deep eutectic solvents (DES). Recent studies have shown p-toluene sulfonic acid (pTSA) forms room temperature liquids with choline chloride (ChCl) at different mola

How do we know, theorize, and teach the possibilities of peace in the Global South? For most of Eurocentric literature on the topic, peace in the Global South seems like an impossible utopia. Building on Freire’s pedagogy, I argue for a decolonial approach to peace studies centered on the agency of Global South peoples and their power to transform the world. This means that the construction of kno

The increased electrification of society and the development of smart grids are often seenas central in the transition towards a more sustainable and secure energy system and necessaryto address the challenges of increasing energy demand and limited resources. Thereare many visions and ideas on what a smart grid is or could be. While most research relatedto environmental impacts on the smart grid

BACKGROUND: We aimed to identify the target of deprescribing, i.e. the 24-hour SBP increase needed to achieve the greatest reduction of SBP drops.METHOD: Forty hypertensive patients (mean age 73.6 ± 9.3 years, 26 females) with reflex syncope and SBP drops on a screening ABPM were advised to withdraw or to reduce their therapy. The study objective was the reduction of SBP drops

Constitutional polymorphisms in ARID5B are associated with an increased risk of developing high hyperdiploid (HeH; 51–67 chromosomes) pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP ALL). Here, we investigated constitutional and somatic ARID5B variants in 1335 BCP ALL cases from five different cohorts, with a particular focus on HeH cases. In 353 HeH ALL that were heterozygous for ris

Two new genera, Petiolachertus and Macroplectron, each with two new species, P. castor and P. pollux, T. nishidai and T. safron, respectively, are described. Petiolachertus belongs in the tribe Eulophini and Macroplectron in Cirrospilini. Petiolachertus castor, P. pollux and T. nishidai are described from both sexes and have been reared from Gracillariidae leaf miners (unidentified Gracillariidae
