CVRAE QVOT VIVITIS ANNOS NON SIT : Time Expressions in Neo-Latin Funerary Inscriptions of Sweden

One of the most frequent elements of a funeral inscription is chronological data concerning the biography of the diseased. The present paper focuses on time-related collocations used in Neo-Latin funerary inscriptions of Sweden. Unlike medieval inscriptions, the length of the life lived and duration of important offices held are often indicated, sometimes approximately. The classical dating with K

Greenwashing : A critical realist approach to the study of false ecological claims

Greenwashing is on the rise as a strategy for maintaining business-as-usual through false ecological claims. This paper articulates an approach to the study of greenwashing guided by the philosophy of critical realism. In its first move, it identifies greenwashing as depending on the possibility of socially conflating the relation between transitive and intransitive objects of knowledge. The paper

Association between clinical outcome and microbiological findings in peritonsillar abscess - an observational study

Background: Previous studies on causative pathogens in peritonsillar abscesses have yielded varying results. However, Group A streptococci (GAS) and Fusobacterium necrophorum have been identified frequently. The aim of this study was to investigate pathogens in peritonsillar abscesses in patients tested for both ß-hemolytic streptococci and F. necrophorum, and to investigate associations between p

Bloodstream infections at a tertiary hospital in the Gambia - a one-year retrospective study

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is a significant global health concern, particularly in western Sub-Saharan Africa. This study describes causes of bloodstream infections and antimicrobial resistance at a tertiary hospital in The Gambia. Methods: This retrospective analysis included all blood cultures performed at the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital, Banjul, The Gambia, from September

Cantú Syndrome With Acromegaloid Features, Multiple Endocrinopathies, and Infection Susceptibility

Cantú syndrome involves fetal polyhydramniosis, congenital hypertrichosis, and macrosomia. Distinctive features include acromegaloid features with broad nasal bridge and macroglossia as well as cardiac abnormalities, including patent ductus arteriosus. We present a case in a male patient, who presented with cardiac abnormalities in childhood, but was diagnosed with the syndrome in adulthood after

Petrography and field relationships of impact lithologies at the Gardnos impact structure, Norway

New mapping and laboratory studies of the impactites at the Gardnos impact structure (Norway) show a variety of impact-deformed rocks. Our mapping and petrographic analyses have subdivided these breccias into three distinct categories: (a) melt-bearing sueivitic breccias, melt-bearing polymict breccias; (b) melt-free, polymict lithic impact breccias; and (c) monomict lithic impact breccias. This i

Elucidating the nanostructure of small interfering RNA-loaded lipidoid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles

We analyzed the structural and material properties of small interfering RNA (siRNA)-loaded lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPNs) containing ionizable lipidoid and poly(dl-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) using small-angle X-ray scattering, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, polarized light microscopy, the Langmuir monolayer methodology, differential scanning calorimetry, and attenuated

Ephemeral space sanctification and trespassing gender boundaries in a Muslim city

A distinct feature of Muslim cities is demarcated separation between zones of public economic and private domestic activities. Such spatial distinction has been the organic extension of a social structure with limited presence of women in public zones. However, separation of spaces in the Muslim city and the way it is utilized, shaped and reproduced by men and women is not a simple case of dividin

The water sensitive future of Lahijan

The emergence of the modern urban water system in Iran, albeit facilitated access to clean water and accelerated discharge of waste- and stormwater, it left some negative imprints on country’s urban and natural environment. Among which larger stress on natural water cycles and pollution of water resources are of great importance. More importantly, such impacts are occurring when cities are going t

Bidirectional association between physical activity and sleep in healthy Japanese super-seniors : the Japan Healthy Aging Study (J-HAS)

To address the challenges of an ageing population, it is important to promote health by identifying factors for healthy ageing. The aim of this study was to investigate the bidirectional association between physical activity (PA) and sleep in healthy Japanese super-seniors over the age of 80. For approximately 1 year, 124 participants wore wearable devices and answered daily lifestyle questionnair

"The Good, the Bad, or the Ugly? The Choice of Legal Basis in EU Digital Finance"

This article analyses the choice of legal basis for measures under the EU’s digital finance strategy. In this area, a new regulation has recently been introduced concerning markets in crypto-assets (MiCA). The package for a digital finance strategy also includes a Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) as well as a regulation on distributed ledger technology (DLT). All these measures are adopte

CyberROAD : a cybersecurity risk assessment ontology for automotive domain aligned with ISO/SAE 21434:2021

The automotive domain is becoming increasingly complex through the integration of new technologies. As a result, cybersecurity is recognized as a pressing issue. This study focuses on the ISO/SAE 21434:2021 standard for road vehicles cybersecurity engineering, evaluating the effectiveness of the standard’s risk assessment approach. The standard suggests a set of assessment steps, and previous rese
