Mässfirande under en pandemi

Det är en debattartikel där författarna argumenterar för att stora fysiska samlingar är inte ett obetingat religiöst krav, även om det är något som många längtar efter. Man bör vara försiktiga med att åberopa religionsfrihetsargumentet när det gäller att utkräva olika typer av rättigheter, såsom mässfirande i större grupper under en pandemi.

The planar low temperature Coulomb gas: separation and equidistribution

We consider planar Coulomb systems consisting of a large number nn of repelling point charges in the low temperature regime, where the inverse temperature β grows at least logarithmically in n as n→∞, i.e., β≳log⁡n.Under suitable conditions on an external potential, we prove results to the effect that the gas is with high probability uniformly separated and equidistributed with respect to the corr

Towards regenerative regional development in responsible value chains : an agentic response to recent crises

In this paper, we empirically and theoretically present regenerative regional development in responsible value chains as an alternative to the prevailing traditional, neoliberal economic rationale of globalization. We develop the argument on the back of a longitudinal in-depth case study on actors’ engagement in the recurring crises in the maritime industry in Sunnmøre/Norway. The alternative pers

Carbon dioxide flooding to reduce postoperative neurological injury following surgery for acute type A aortic dissection : a prospective, randomised, blinded, controlled clinical trial, CARTA study protocol - objectives and design

INTRODUCTION: Neurological complications after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) increase patient morbidity and mortality. Carbon dioxide flooding is commonly used in open-heart surgery to reduce the risk of air embolism and neurological impairment, but it has not been evaluated in the setting of ATAAD surgery. This report describes the objectives and design of the CARTA trial, in

Reduced binding of apoE4 to complement factor H promotes amyloid-β oligomerization and neuroinflammation

The APOE4 variant of apolipoprotein E (apoE) is the most prevalent genetic risk allele associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). ApoE interacts with complement regulator factor H (FH), but the role of this interaction in AD pathogenesis is unknown. Here we elucidate the mechanism by which isoform-specific binding of apoE to FH alters Aβ1-42-mediated neurotoxicity and clearance. Flow cyt

Normal science and the hidden lemmas of mathematical epidemiology

Normal science is a characterization of science in our epoch and a demarcation of what “scientific” means. It divides science in disciplined/normed paradigms. Mathematical epidemiology is the paradigm that regulates the activity of mathematicians with respect to the study of epidemics. It also represents the interest (multiple meanings implied) of the community that guards it. In contrast, a real

Affinity-Purification Combined with Crosslinking Mass Spectrometry for Identification and Structural Modeling of Host-Pathogen Protein-Protein Complexes

Host-pathogen protein-protein interactions are highly complex and dynamic and mediate key steps in pathogen adhesion to host, host invasion, and colonization as well as immune evasion. In bacteria, these interactions most often involve specialized virulence factors or effector proteins that specifically target central host proteins. Here, I present a mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach sta

Unstructured Interviews – A Conversational Iceberg

My ongoing work on the lived experiences of young adult migrants is phenomenological research aimed at the process of social resilience and social experiences of young adult migrants. I'm conducting unstructured interviews to learn more about the phenomenon's textural (what was experienced) and structural (how it was experienced) characteristics. In these unstructured interviews, I emphasize the m

Laboratory Experiments on Soil Stabilization to Enhance Strength Parameters for Road Pavement

Clay soils can cause significant distress in road construction due to their low strength. Stabilizing such soil improve with binder agents prior to the geotechnical works can significantly its performance and ensure safety and stability of roads while exploitation. This research envisaged the use of five different binders (lime, energy fly ash, bio fly ash, slag, cement) as an additive stabilizing

Effects of adsorbed molecular ordering to the superconductivity of a two-dimensional atomic layer crystal

The effect of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) adsorption on the physical properties of the two-dimensional (2D) atomic layer superconductor (ALSC) In/Si(111)-(7×3) has been studied by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, transport measurements, and scanning tunneling microscopy. Hole doping from the adsorbed molecules has been reported to increase the superconducting tra

Direct observation of large-area strain propagation on free-standing nanomembranes

Investigations on epitaxial nanostructures with size of tens of nanometers have been a challenging issue for techniques that present high strain sensitivity but restricted spatial resolution. This is the case of recently developed x-ray nanoprobe techniques. Despite its inherent nondestructive character, submicron x-ray spots have only been successfully applied to the study of individual nanostruc

Multiplicity fluctuations and correlations in 5.02 TeV p+Pb collisions at zero impact parameter

We present a Bayesian method to reconstruct event-by-event multiplicity fluctuations and rapidity correlations in p+Pb collisions at zero impact parameter from minimum-bias data, without assuming any model of the collision dynamics. We test it on Monte Carlo simulations with the Angantyr model, then apply it to ATLAS data on the distribution of charged multiplicity and transverse energy in p+Pb co

Plasma Galectin-4 Levels Are Increased after Stroke in Mice and Humans

Epidemiological studies have associated plasma galectin-4 (Gal-4) levels with prevalent and incident diabetes, and with an increased risk of coronary artery disease. To date, data regarding possible associations between plasma Gal-4 and stroke are lacking. Using linear and logistic regression analyses, we tested Gal-4 association with prevalent stroke in a population-based cohort. Additionally, in

Urban Cemeteries and the Aesthetics of Care

Even though urban cemeteries in Sweden today can be seen as making space for different memorial practices, they are also a materialization of certain cultural and religious norms (Kjaersgaard & Venbrux, 2016), which sometimes are expressed as functional and aesthetic values. In this respect, the urban cemetery has an abiding attitude to change in building on past traditions and designs to addrEven though urban cemeteries in Sweden today can be seen as making space for different memorial practices, they are also a materialization of certain cultural and religious norms (Kjaersgaard & Venbrux, 2016), which sometimes are expressed as functional and aesthetic values.

Precision Prognostics for Cardiovascular Disease in Type 2 Diabetes : A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: Precision medicine has the potential to improve cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies to identify potentially novel prognostic factors that could improve CVD risk prediction in T2D. Out of 9380 studies identified, 416 studies met inclusion criteria. Outco

Countering the Proliferation of Plastic Waste through Circularity

How can the circular economy address the challenges of plastic waste? By rethinking production, distribution, and consumption patterns. It is a complex challenge that necessitates ethical, cultural, technical, and social considerations, far beyond managerial concerns. Recirculating some plastic and taking out the rest will require unraveling deeply embedded practices and choices in society.

The circular economy: a geometry lesson

To maintain its transformational potential, the circular economy needs to be associated with an actual closing of material loops, recognising that this entails a new balance of power among corporations, customers and those who work with material recovery—not least waste pickers in the global south. The environmental footprint of production and consumption must be reduced, through decreased extract
