Contemporary social and cultural conditions in Brazil, together with technological developments and social media have enabled more young people of the favela to participate in different spheres of public life. These social and cultural changes have brought diversified new images of what it means to be an embodied subject. In this article, I explore the ways in which the body holds a seemingly para
This article analyzes instances of refusal to eat or drink due to the fear of poisoning and contamination amongst favela youth in Brazil. These particular occurrences of refusal shed light on refusal’s potency as a way of managing complex social entanglements and instrumental in asserting agency. Considering that interlocutors had come of age without many formal institutions present, they needed p
The economic growth of Brazil in the early and mid-2000s has created opportunities for people like my interlocutors, the young and media-savvy residents of Brazilian favelas to consume and partake in a global market of the production of the self. These have nourished their pursuit for diversity and difference and shaped the eclectic qualities of their consumption practices. In its plural forms, co
Syftet med rapporten har varit att identifiera de hinder och styrkor som finns i dialoger mellan Malmö stad och fastighetsägare i Sofielund, samt dra lärdomar som skulle kunna användas för att stödja liknande processer. Det empiriska materialet kommer från tio intervjuer samt deltagande observationer i Sofielund.
Moving toward the open innovation (OI) model requires multifaceted transformations within companies. It often involves giving away the tools for product development or sharing future product directions with open tools ecosystems. Moving from the traditional closed innovation model toward an OI model for software development tools shows the potential to increase software development competence and
Climate change is a major global threat to biodiversity with widespread impacts on ecological communities. Evidence for beneficial impacts on populations is perceived to be stronger and more plentiful than that for negative impacts, but few studies have investigated this apparent disparity, or how ecological factors affect population responses to climatic change. We examined the strength of the re
This paper investigates the interactions between urban morphology indicators and extreme weather variables. In this regard, variations of wind speed and air temperature at the urban microscale are studied for three urban morphologies by means of numerical simulations. Each urban model contains ninety-nine calculation points at different locations and heights to assess the variations during two 24-
We continue our study of weighted harmonic functions. The emphasis is put on properties of conformal invariance and associated Green functions. A classical result of Littlewood about pointwise limits almost everywhere of Green potentials of measures in the disc is, as far as the unit disc is concerned, generalized to the full scale of Green potentials considered.
The active site of sulfite reductase (SiR) consists of an unusual siroheme–Fe4S4 assembly coupled via a cysteinate sulfur, and serves for multi-electron reduction reactions. Clear explanations have not been demonstrated for the reasons behind the choice of siroheme (vs. other types of heme) or for the single-atom coupling to an Fe4S4 center (as opposed to simple adjacency or to coupling via chains
We introduce a method for taking microscopic limits of normal matrix ensembles and apply it to study the behaviour near certain types of singular points on the boundary of the droplet. Our investigation includes ensembles without restrictions near the boundary, as well as hard edge ensembles, where the eigenvalues are confined to the droplet. We establish in both cases existence of new types of de
Objective: Steady state insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels vary significantly during continuous intravenous infusion of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1/recombinant human insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3) in the first weeks of life in extremely preterm infants. We evaluated interleukin-6 (IL-6) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (
Ekonomistyrning för offentliga verksamheter ger en introduktion till ämnet ekonomistyrning och hur kommuner och regioner arbetar med ekonomisk styrning och ekonomiska styrmodeller. Boken inleds med att ge en introduktion till ämnet ekonomistyrning, vad ekonomistyrning är och hur kommuner och regioner styrs. Därefter behandlas ekonomistyrningens olika delar och modeller samt hur de används eller ka
This paper focuses on the specific problems in the labour and social security legislation as it relates to crowdworkers in the digitalizes new economy, analyzing their place in labour market, and especially in the collective agreements which are the standard means of regulating working conditions in the Nordic model. Sweden has a binary system where a performing party is as either an employee or s
This study investigates the growth in global renewable energy use between 2000 and 2014. To identify its main contributors and their geographical distribution, a structural decomposition analysis is applied to global multi-regional input-output tables. A new variant of this type of analysis is developed that introduces energy transition (i.e. the substitution of non-renewable energy by renewable e

This Letter presents direct searches for lepton flavour violation in Higgs boson decays, H→eτ and H→μτ, performed with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The searches are based on a data sample of proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy s=13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1. No significant excess is observed above the expected background from Standard Model proce
New military technologies are animated by fantasies of perfect knowledge, lawfulness, and vision that contrast sharply with the very real limits of human understanding, law, and vision. 'War and Algorithm' look at the increasing power of algorithms in these emerging forms of warfare from the perspectives of critical theory, philosophy, legal studies, and visual studies. Together, the contributions
