Role of machine and organizational structure in science

The progress of science increasingly relies on machine learning (ML) and machines work alongside humans in various domains of science. This study investigates the team structure of ML-related projects and analyzes the contribution of ML to scientific knowledge production under different team structure, drawing on bibliometric analyses of 25,000 scientific publications in various disciplines. Our r

Reciprocity and challenge in researcher-student collaborative labour in a multilingual secondary school

This chapter focuses on challenge and reciprocity in researcher-student collaborative labour (Zigo 2001) in a large multilingual secondary school in Sweden. The school was recruited for a larger longitudinal study of classroom language policy. For the purposes of the present chapter, we analysed ethnographic data to shed light on the well-known challenge of recruiting and retaining students to par

Hearing loss after bacterial meningitis, a retrospective study

Background: Hearing loss is a common sequela after bacterial meningitis, but risk factors for this are poorly studied, particularly in relation to concurrent acute otitis media (AOM). Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate incidence and risk factors for hearing loss in patients treated for bacterial meningitis. Methods: In this retrospective study, medical records for patients admitted to

Consequences of partially recessive deleterious genetic variation for the evolution of inversions suppressing recombination between sex chromosomes

The evolution of suppressed recombination between sex chromosomes is widely hypothesized to be driven by sexually antagonistic selection (SA), where tighter linkage between the sex-determining gene(s) and nearby SA loci is favored when it couples male-beneficial alleles to the proto-Y chromosome, and female-beneficial alleles to the proto-X. Despite limited empirical evidence, the SA selection hyp

Estimation of recent peat accumulation with tree saplings

The purpose of this paper is to develop an approach to estimate peat accumulation rates (PAR) over recent decades based on the age and burial depths of roots from pine sapling and to use the newly developed approach to estimate spatial variations of PAR. To this end, we sampled 120 pine saplings growing in three plots at Rėkyva peatland in Lithuania and accounted for the microtopography around eac

Optimization of Anomaly Detection in a Microservice System Through Continuous Feedback from Development

Monitoring a microservice system may bring a lot of benefits to development teams such as early detection of run-time errors and various performance anomalies. In this study, we explore deep learning (DL) solutions for detection of anomalous system's behavior based on collected monitoring data that consists of applications' and systems' performance metrics. The study is conducted in a collaboratio

Borders, Boundaries, Backdrops : An Introduction to the Special Issue on Christianity and Nationalism

This issue’s articles will offer views into the conditions of nation and nationalism from outside contemporary national­ism studies, or perhaps from a position that straddles the boundaries of the inside and outside of nationalism studies. We hope that they contribute in unexpected ways to focused research – sociological and beyond – on nation­alism, and on nationalism’s and Christianity’s interlo

Contradiction between management models and welfare principles in the provision of health care services - a Swedish genealogy

Health care currently constitute one of the largest parts of the Scandinavian welfare system, with private as well as public providers competing on a quasi-market. In order to ensure an egalitarian and safe provision of health care services this sector is governed by several policies, laws and regulations. Previous research demonstrates that these services are regulated by processes of decommodifi

Identifying Shocked Feldspar on Mars Using Perseverance Spectroscopic Instruments : Implications for Geochronology Studies on Returned Samples

The Perseverance rover (Mars 2020) mission, the first step in NASA’s Mars Sample Return (MSR) program, will select samples for caching based on their potential to improve understanding Mars’ astrobiological, geological, geochemical, and climatic evolution. Geochronologic analyses will be among the key measurements planned for returned samples. Assessing a sample’s shock history will be critical be

Intensive motherhood and educational desires in uncertain times: Negotiating ambiguous expectations in twenty-first century Singapore

This paper explores intensive motherhood and educational desires in contemporary Singapore. Singapore’s education system is globally renowned for its high academic standards and for producing students who excel in international assessment tests and rankings. At the same time, there has been a shift of attention in education policy towards social-emotional competencies and well-being. While a top-n

Clinical studies of extended-half-life recombinant FVIII products for prophylaxis in adults and children : A critical review from the physician's perspective

This review compares the methodology of published clinical studies investigating the extended-half-life (EHL) factor VIII (FVIII) products, rFVIIIFc (efmoroctocog alfa, Elocta®/Eloctate®), BAY 94-9027 (damoctocog alfa pegol, Jivi®), BAX 855 (rurioctocog alfa pegol, Adynovate®) and N8-GP (turoctocog alfa pegol, Esperoct®) including the phase 2/3 studies, A-LONG (NCT01181128), PROTECT VIII (NCT01580

Protein binding on acutely toxic and non-toxic polystyrene nanoparticles during filtration by Daphnia magna

Nanomaterials can adsorb biomolecules to their surface and form a protein corona. Here we investigated the protein profile bound to different sizes of aminated and carboxylated polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles after passing through the digestive tract of the freshwater zooplankter Daphnia magna. We found that acutely toxic aminated 53 nm PS nanoparticles bind a different set of proteins compared to

The Gaia -ESO survey : Age-chemical-clock relations spatially resolved in the Galactic disc

Context. The last decade has seen a revolution in our knowledge of the Galaxy thanks to the Gaia and asteroseismic space missions and the ground-based spectroscopic surveys. Aims. To complete this picture, it is necessary to map the ages of its stellar populations. During recent years, the dependence on time of abundance ratios involving slow (s) neutron-capture and α elements (called chemical-clo
