Seeds of the sixties

"The Sixties." The powerful images conveyed by those two words have become an enduring part of American cultural and political history. But where did Sixties radicalism come from? Who planted the intellectual seeds that brought it into being? These questions are answered with striking clarity in Andrew Jamison and Ron Eyerman's book. The result is a combination of history and biography that vividl

Pirtobrutinib targets BTK C481S in ibrutinib-resistant CLL but second-site BTK mutations lead to resistance

Covalent inhibitors of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) have transformed the therapy of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), but continuous therapy has been complicated by the development of resistance. The most common resistance mechanism in patients whose disease progresses on covalent BTK inhibitors (BTKis) is a mutation in the BTK 481 cysteine residue to which the inhibitors bind covalently. Pirtob

Hard X-ray stereographic microscopy for single-shot differential phase imaging

The characterisation of fast phenomena at the microscopic scale is required for the understanding of catastrophic responses of materials to loads and shocks, the processing of materials by optical or mechanical means, the processes involved in many key technologies such as additive manufacturing and microfluidics, and the mixing of fuels in combustion. Such processes are usually stochastic in natu

Social cognition deficits and biometric signatures in the behavioural variant of Alzheimer’s disease

The behavioural variant of Alzheimer’s disease (bvAD) is characterized by early predominant behavioural changes, mimicking the behavioural variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), which is characterized by social cognition deficits and altered biometric responses to socioemotional cues. These functions remain understudied in bvAD. We investigated multiple social cognition components (i.e. emoti

The Unbearable Likeness of Being: How Artificial Intelligence Challenges the Social Ontology of International Human Rights Law

This paper examines how the social ontology that underpins the international human rights framework is being challenged by the affordances of AI/ML systems. To set the stage, the paper adopts a socially situated understanding of human rights – acknowledging the socially embedded nature of individuals within societies. Drawing upon Gould’s theory on the social ontology of human rights, the individu

Effects of surgical specialization and surgeon resection volume on postoperative complications and mortality rate after emergent colon cancer resection

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of surgical specialization and surgeon resection volume on short-term outcome after emergent colon cancer resections. Methods: A retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent resections for colon cancer between 2011 and 2020 at Helsingborg Hospital, Sweden was performed. The senior surgeon participating in each procedure was class

The impact of geometry, intramural friction, and pressure on the antegrade longitudinal motion of the arterial wall : A phantom and finite element study

Longitudinal motion of the carotid arterial wall, as measured with ultrasound, has shown promise as an indicator of vascular health. The underlying mechanisms are however not fully understood. We have found, in in vivo studies, that blood pressure has a strong relation to the antegrade longitudinal displacement in early systole. Further, we have identified that a tapered geometry and the intramura

Solvent effect on equilibrium organization of confined polymers

The equilibrium organization of two polymers in strong confinement has been extensively investigated in the scope of simple models in the recent past, after it was suggested that the entropic repulsion between polymers could be a mechanism for chromosome separation in living cells. Despite many efforts, how solvent quality can manipulate separation or compaction for the formation of domains in a t

Degrowing rural tourism development : Thinking globally to save the local

The nature of tourism consumption is a major challenge for rural areas. Rural tourism is uneven in time and space and destinations are simultaneously prone to under- and over-tourism. Rural tourism is often framed as an opportunity to develop tourism in a more sustainable manner. The irony is that rural tourism is still primarily about growth and considerations of the broader context of developmen

Digital sustainability : Tackling climate change with bits and bytes

Recent studies suggest that firms can reduce their impact on the natural environment through the creative deployment of technologies that create, use, transmit, or source electronic data. While this work on digital sustainability is promising, so far it remained unclear how firms can leverage digital technologies as part of their sustainability management. We address this issue by providing an int

An investigation into the characteristics of reactive silicon pools of coastal marine sediments

Many studies use traditional alkaline leach digestions to quantify biogenic silica (bSiO2) in sediments. Studies from river-plume systems demonstrate this methodology precludes information on other operational Si reactive pools, missing potentially valuable information on early diagenetic products. We build on previous studies by broadly examining the reactive Si pools in Mississippi River plume-i

A potential for democratic emancipation? : Policy and discretionary practices in probation service

Hvordan kan kriminalforsorgens tilsynsarbejde integrere tilfælde af demokratisk emancipation (: frigørelse, selvstændiggørelse) og dermed inspirere til deltagende medborgerskab for marginaliserede klienter? Dette forskningsprojekt balancerer en interesse i socialt arbejde og dets muligheder for at levere emancipationgennem motivationsarbejde med en opmærksomhed på den senere tids udviklinger i skHow can offender supervision in the execution of state-sanctioned punishment integrate instances of democratic emancipation and thereby inspire participatory citizenship for disenfranchised clients?This project balances an interest in social work and its prospects for delivering emancipation through motivational agency, on the one hand, with an attentiveness to recent developments in Scandinavian

Collaborating for nature-based solutions: bringing research and practice together

Nature-based solutions (NBS) is a relatively novel concept and real-world application has only started to proliferate in cities, which motivates addressing early attempts of cross-boundary collaboration for implementing NBS. The aim of this paper is to reflect about the process of transdisciplinary research-practice collaboration on NBS and its associated learnings, potentials and challenges. To d
