Urbanisation is accelerating across the globe, transforming landscapes, presenting organisms with novel challenges, shaping phenotypes and impacting fitness. Urban individuals are claimed to have duller carotenoid-based colouration, compared to their non-urban counterparts, the so-called ‘urban dullness’ phenomenon. However, at the intraspecific level, this generalisation is surprisingly inconsist

This article investigates the transformation of the body of a female child murderer as she passed through specific spatial configurations in the urban setting of the seventeenth-century capital of Denmark-Norway. By using the case of Gertrud Nielsdatter, we explore the significance of public urban spaces in the bodily and material transformation of a woman from a condemned sinner to an object of s

Background: Survivors of childhood cancer may face difficulties at school. We investigated whether childhood cancer affects attainment of upper secondary education, in a register-based cohort study from Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, where we limit bias from selection and participation. Methods: From the national cancer registers, we identified all long-term survivors of childhood cancer diagnosed

Abstract in FrenchLe populisme invoque l’autorité du peuple contre une élite. Souvent, cela implique un rejet de l’autorité des experts et de leurs critères de validité du discours. Cette tension apparaît dans les conflits autour des théories de la conspiration. Est suggéré que cette tension soit considérée comme un conflit entre deux interprétations de la réalité, de phénomènes particuliers ou dePopulism invokes the authority of the people against an élite. Often that entails a rejection of the authority of experts and their criteria for a valid discourse. This tension surfaces in conflicts around conspiracy theories and here is suggested that this tension is seen as a conflict between two interpretations of reality, of particular phenomena or history. The question is what role the philos

The experience of heritage sites through digital technology is an increasingly important topic for researchers and practitioners. Drawing upon telepresence theory, this study explores how a visitor’s destination image is formed and its impact on satisfaction in a virtual heritage site experience. The survey results show that telepresence, cognitive image, affective image, and satisfaction are posi

Alkali metals, mainly K and Na, which are present in solid fuels such as biomass and coal, play an important role during their thermal conversion, e.g., in combustion or gasification. At high temperatures, alkali elements will be released in gas phase as alkali atoms, alkali chlorides, alkali hydroxides and alkali sulphates. In biomass/coal-fired boilers, the release of these alkali species can ca

The recommendation is based on the co-authors’ work organized by the RILEM TC 256-SPF “Spalling of concrete due to fire: testing and modelling”. The Committee has defined two types of screening tests for characterization of concrete propensity to fire spalling: Material screening tests and Product screening tests. Definitions of both types of tests are given in the paper. The following recommendat

This is an experiment the perceptual differences between full and contractedsemi-modals in English, i.e. the distinction of going to vs gonna and (HAVE) gotto vs gotta. It is a listen-and-repeat experiment and is informed by the findingsof a corpus study of the use of these forms in American English (AmE). It thusaims to integrate the social/variational and the cognitive sides of the phenomenon.

Objectives Accumulating evidence suggested that the laminin Î 32 (LAMC2) expression level was upregulated in various cancers. However, the potential prognostic value of LAMC2 in cancers remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to clarify the association of LAMC2 expression with prognosis. Design We searched Embase, Web of Science and PubMed (up to 25 November 2021) to collect all eligible stu

The Portable Ice Nucleation Chamber 2 (PINCii) is a newly developed continuous flow diffusion chamber (CFDC) for measuring ice nucleating particles (INPs). PINCii is a vertically oriented parallel-plate CFDC that has been engineered to improve upon the limitations of previous generations of CFDCs. This work presents a detailed description of the PINCii instrument and the upgrades that make it uniq

Official calls for “failed” asylum seekers to leave Sweden ignore the difficulties and harms befalling stateless people who cannot return to previous countries of residence because they lack citizenship. Stateless people are caught in limbo, a position where they have no prospects of return or of attaining a residence permit in a predictable future.

Det som är störande för cyklister som passerar ett vägarbete är ojämnheter, omledning, bristfällig information från väghållaren, skyltning och oavskilda cykelvägar. Kvaliteten på omledningar och avstängningar är avgörande för att cyklister ska använda dem. Det behövs bättre omläggningar som inte utsätter cyklister för onödigt stora omvägar eller drastiskt minskade möjligheter att cykla förbi vägar

The sparse iterative covariance-based estimation (SPICE) algorithm is promising for hyperparameter-free sparse source location for time-division-multiplexing multiple-input-multiple-output (TDM-MIMO) radar systems, with well-documented merits in resolution enhancement and sidelobe suppression. Regrettably, the method typically requires a large number of iterations to converge, each requiring high-

Most work implies the use of digital systems and tools, thus, digital technology plays a vital role in modern work environments. Even so, ergonomics and usability of IT systems and digital tools used at work are often weak, which causes work-related health problems including physical, visual, cognitive, and stress-related issues. We pose that one important reason for these types of issues is the l

Bakgrund: Kontinuitetsmodeller inom barnmorskans arbetsområde är väletablerade i flera länder i världen. Vårdformen innebär att den gravida följs och vårdas av samma barnmorska eller ett mindre team av barnmorskor under graviditet, förlossning och eftervård. Syftet med kontinuitet är att stärka kvinnan under graviditeten och i rollen som blivande förälder samt att främja trygghet och bidra till en

Bakgrund: I barnmorskans yrkesroll ingår att handha den normala förlossningen där en viktig del är att främja föräldraskapet och inkludera närstående. Barnmorskan skall under förlossning identifiera rädslor och tillgodose behovet av stöd både för den födande och partnern. Syftet: Syftet var att belysa partnerns upplevelse av stöd från barnmorskan under förlossning. Metod: En systematisk litteratur
