A Plantation Bell: Echoes and Entanglements of Fireburn

In 1778, a large bronze bell was cast by royal bellfounder Michael Troschell in Copenhagen. Unlike most of his bells, which were destined for church towers, this one was sent to La Grange, the largest plantation on St. Croix in the Danish West Indies. The bell functioned as an instrument of discipline, structuring the workday for more than a thousand enslaved laborers. This paper explores the planThis working paper is based on a presentation given at the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Studies (SASS) conference, Seattle, May 2024, and is part of the empirical research process for one of the chapters in my dissertation, The Fireburn 1878-2018: Revolt, Representations and Remembrance.

Nanomolar inhibitor of the galectin-8 N-terminal domain binds via a non-canonical cation-π interaction

Galectin-8 is a tandem-repeat galectin consisting of two distinct carbohydrate recognition domains and is a potential drug target. We have developed a library of galectin-8N inhibitors that exhibit high nanomolar K d values as determined by a competitive fluorescence polarization assay. A detailed thermodynamic analysis of the binding of D-galactosides to galectin-8N by isothermal titration calori

The Brussels and California Effects? Circular Economy Policy Influence Across Borders

The influence of environmental policy has been known to move beyond the country or regional contexts in which they have been implemented. Examples in literature include the “California effect” and the “Brussels effect”, showing how the policies adopted in the EU and California influence other jurisdictions. In this paper we study the following: To what extent are companies operating in the United

Role of tau versus TDP-43 pathology on medial temporal lobe atrophy in aging and Alzheimer's disease

Hippocampal atrophy on magnetic resonance imaging is an important biomarker in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While hippocampal atrophy was thought to result from tau tangles in AD, different neuropathologies can lead to hippocampal atrophy, especially TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology. In this narrative review, we evaluate existing studies on the relative contribution of tau and TDP-43 pat

Workplace sexual harassment is associated with poor mental well-being among employees at a large Swedish university

BACKGROUND: Sexual harassment (SH) is a persistent problem at workplaces around the world, including academia.OBJECTIVE: This study examines the association between SH and mental well-being among employees at Lund University (LU) in Sweden.METHODS: Data was obtained from a cross-sectional survey targeting all LU employees in 2019. SH exposure was measured using a ten-item scale capturing SH experi
