En introduktion- i väntan på tåget

Den första bransch som kände industrialiseringens verkningar var lantbruket. I Kävlinge trakten förändrades lantbruket på många sätt genom industrialiseringens innovationer, långt innan järnvägen kom och industrierna etablerades.

Higher Nakayama algebras I : Construction

We introduce higher dimensional analogues of the Nakayama algebras from the viewpoint of Iyama's higher Auslander–Reiten theory. More precisely, for each Nakayama algebra A and each positive integer d, we construct a finite dimensional algebra A(d) having a distinguished d-cluster-tilting -module whose endomorphism algebra is a higher dimensional analogue of the Auslander algebra of A. We also con

Between the scientific and the alternative: women’s claims about copper toxicity caused by IUD use

The copper IUD is a widely used contraceptive, recommended to many women who want a long-acting contraceptive method and sometimes seen as an alternative for those who want to avoid side effects associated with hormonal alternatives. However, while many report being satisfied with their copper IUD, a growing number of women speak about a range of mental and physical symptoms believed to be caused

Not Just Being Lifted : Infants are Sensitive to Delay During a Pick-Up Routine

In the present study we observed whether infants show online adjustments to the mother’s incipient action by looking at their sensitivity to changes as the pick-up unfolded. Twenty-three 3-month-old infants and their mothers were observed in the lab, where mothers were instructed (1) to pick-up their infants as they usually did (normal pick-up), and then (2) to delay the pick-up for 6 s after plac

A room of one’s own : Moments of mutual disengagement between doctor and patient in the oncology visit

ObjectiveThis paper examines a previously neglected phenomenon in doctor-patient interaction studies, i.e. the achievement of mutual disengagement—a specific state of coordination, in which participants suspend reciprocal gaze and turn into separate axes of involvement. In the specialized setting of the oncology visit, which we consider in this study, mutual disengagement is linked to important ta

Soil Organic Carbon Signature under Impervious Surfaces

While impervious surface expands with global urbanization, understanding the quality and quantity changes of soil organic carbon (SOC) under impervious surfaces is essential to assess the impacts of urbanization on the SOC pool and cycling. By comparing soils under impervious surfaces with surface and subsurface soils from adjoining open areas, we present a systematic study on the SOC signature un

Warming and Increased Respiration Have Transformed an Alpine Steppe Ecosystem on the Tibetan Plateau From a Carbon Dioxide Sink Into a Source

Cold region ecosystems store vast amounts of soil organic carbon (C), which upon warming and decomposition can affect the C balance and potentially change these ecosystems from C sinks to carbon dioxide (CO2) sources. We quantified the decadal year-round CO2 flux from an alpine steppe-ecosystem on the Tibetan Plateau using eddy covariance and automatic chamber approaches during a period of signifi

Periodic Nanoarray of Graphene pn-Junctions on Silicon Carbide Obtained by Hydrogen Intercalation

Graphene pn-junctions offer a rich portfolio of intriguing physical phenomena. They stand as the potential building blocks for a broad spectrum of future technologies, ranging from electronic lenses analogous to metamaterials in optics, to high-performance photodetectors important for a variety of optoelectronic applications. The production of graphene pn-junctions and their precise structuring at

Social Justice, Restorative Justice, and EU Peacebuilding in the Arab-Islamic World

As in most cultural contexts and theoretical conceptualizations of peacebuilding, the fulfilment of justice and the sustainment of peace are intimately related in the Arab-Islamic frame of reference. In the Qur’an and Islamic philosophy, there is a direct correlation between establishing a just social order and the notion of peacebuilding (Abu-Nimer 2006). Guidelines are set forth for building a so

Analyzing Citizen Engagement With European Politics on Social Media

Contributions in this thematic issue focus explicitly on citizens and their online engagement with European politics. For social media research in the European Union, citizens remain an understudied actor type in comparison with political elites or news organizations. The reason, we argue, is four key challenges facing social media research in the European Union: legal, ethical, technical, and cul

A Statistical DOI Estimation Algorithm for a SiPM-Based Clinical SPECT Insert

A prototype clinical brain SPECT insert has been designed for use in simultaneous SPECT/MRI. The system utilises novel slit-slat collimators which, like pinhole collimators, suffers from parallax errors due to the large incident angle of photons. A statistical algorithm has been developed to determine the depth-of-interaction (DOI) with a view to improving image performance. The importance of DOI

Dynamic Standing Exercise in a Novel Assistive Device Compared with Standard Care for Children with Cerebral Palsy Who Are Non-Ambulant, with Regard to Quality of Life and Cost-Effectiveness

Children with cerebral palsy who are non-ambulant cannot stand or walk independently. In Sweden, daily static standing is part of standard care for these children even though it is time-consuming and costly, and while it may benefit the well-being of many children, it is inconvenient for others. A novel stander enables dynamic standing through walking movements. The aim of this study was to compar

Psychometric Properties of Clinical Indicators for Identification and Management of Advanced Parkinson’s Disease : Real-World Evidence From G7 Countries

Introduction: Standardized and validated criteria to define advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) or identify patient eligibility for device-aided therapy are needed. This study assessed the psychometric properties of clinical indicators of advanced PD and eligibility for device-aided therapy in a large population. Methods: This retrospective analysis of the Adelphi Parkinson’s Disease Specific Progra
