“Wake-up call for the white race" : How Stormfront framed the elections of Obama and Trump

We investigate how users on a prominent forum for white supremacists interpreted and framed two seminal events for the far-right in the U.S., the elections of Obama in 2008 and Trump in 2016. These cases precipitated dramatic shifts in the far-right alliance and conflict structure. We combine computational methods and qualitative analysis on a corpus of over ten million posts on Stormfront.org to We investigate how users on a prominent forum for white supremacists interpreted and framed two seminal events for the far-right in the U.S., the elections of Obama in 2008 and Trump in 2016.

Fire safety of TV set enclosure materials, a survey of European statistics

The composition of enclosure materials used in many TV sets sold on the European market has changed significantly since the early 1990s. To determine the potential impact of this change on TV fire safety, a review of European and US TV set fire statistics has been carried out. TV set fires can have internal electrical causes due to faults not apparent at the time of manufacture, simple wear and te

Role of GDF-15, YKL-40 and MMP 9 in patients with end-stage kidney disease : focus on sex-specific associations with vascular outcomes and all-cause mortality

Background: Sex differences are underappreciated in the current understanding of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in association with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A hallmark of CKD is vascular aging that is characterised, amongst others, by; systemic inflammation, microbiota disbalance, oxidative stress, and vascular calcification—features linked to atherosclerosis/arteriosclerosis development. Thus,

Does natural resource extraction compromise future well-being? Norwegian Genuine Savings 1865-2018

Over recent years Genuine Savings (GS) has emerged as an indicator for weak sustainability and predictor of socio-economic well-being. This paper presents the first long-term GS estimates for Norway, covering the period from 1865 until 2019. The preliminary results indicate unsustainable development throughout most of the period leading up to the Second World War and sustainable development ever s

Åldrande landsbygder

Vi står inför betydande demografiska förändringar, där en åldrande befolkning och urbanisering är två globala trender som präglar våra samhällen. I framtiden väntas åldersstrukturerna att fortsätta förändras, med störst ökning i gruppen äldre. Möjligheterna för äldre personer att bo kvar i sin bostad har samtidigt kommit att bli en viktig utgångspunkt.Forskare lyfter fram äldre personer i rurala o

Microstructural and properties evolution of austenitic heat resistant steel after addition of aluminium

Effect of aluminium on microstructure and properties of austenitic heat resistant steel was investigated. The results showed that Al addition led to formation of spheroidal and dispersed Ni3Al. After solution treatment, Ni3Al particles experienced a significant refinement from 1.5 μm to nanoscale (∼80 nm). Matrix transformed from austenite to ferrite when addition of Al was >4.72%. Oxidation resis

Street Tree Density and Distribution : An International Analysis of Five Capital Cities

Municipal leaders around the world are demonstrating significant interest in urban greening to realize a range of socioecological benefits. The urban greening toolkit often includes street trees, an essential component of urban design informed by historic legacies of both human and environmental factors. To date, there has been little comparative analysis of street tree density and distribution ac

Urban Planning and the Smart City : Projects, Practices and Politics

Today’s smart city agendas are the latest iteration of urban sociotechnical innovation. Their aim is to use information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the economic and environmental performance of cities while hopefully providing a better quality of life for residents. Urban planners have a long-standing tradition of aligning technological in- novation with the built environment a

Deep learning from MRI-derived labels enables automatic brain tissue classification on human brain CT

Automatic methods for feature extraction, volumetry, and morphometric analysis in clinical neuroscience typically operate on images obtained with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging equipment. Although CT scans are less expensive to acquire and more widely available than MR scans, their application is currently limited to the visual assessment of brain integrity and the exclusion of co-pathologies. CT

Dietary Fiber and the Hippocampal Neurogenic Niche in a Model of Pelvic Radiotherapy

We sought to determine whether radiation to the colorectum had an impact on parameters of hippocampal neurogenesis and, if so, whether it could be modulated by a fiber-rich diet. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a diet containing bioprocessed oat bran or a fiber-free diet, starting two weeks before colorectal irradiation with 4 fractions of 8 Gray or sham-irradiation. Diets were then continued for 1, 6

High-resolution 2D 1H- 15N NMR characterization of persistent structural alterations of proteins induced by interactions with silica nanoparticles

The binding of protein to solid surfaces often induces changes in the structure, and to investigate these matters we have selected two different protein−nanoparticle systems. The first system concerns the enzyme human carbonic anhydrase II which binds essentially irreversibly to the nanoparticles, and the second system concerns human carbonic anhydrase I which alternate between the adsorbed and fr

The ALS-associated mutation G93A in human copper-zinc superoxide dismutase selectively destabilizes the remote metal binding region

More than 100 distinct mutations in the gene (SOD1) for human copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) have been associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS). Studies of these mutant proteins, which often have been performed under far from physiological conditions, have indicated effects on protein stabilities, catalytic activity, and metal binding affinities but with no common

Apalutamide plus Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer : Analysis of Pain and Fatigue in the Phase 3 TITAN Study

PURPOSE: We performed an exploratory analysis of prostate cancer-related pain and fatigue on health-related quality of life in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer receiving apalutamide (240 mg/day) or placebo, with continuous androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), in the phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled TITAN trial (NCT02489318).
