10 Thoughts on Care

This text is a performative talk that took place in the context of the conference “Handlewith Care: Culture for Social Well-being” organised by Culture Action Europe in Elefsina2023 EU Cultural Capital. It brings together different speculations on care, caring andspaces of care as starting points for further discussions on care and surroundings, social and ecological interdependencies. “Thoughts”

Sequential School Choice with Public and Private Schools

Motivated by school admissions in Turkey and Sweden, we investigate a sequential two-stage admission system with public and private schools. A sequential notion of truthfulness, called straightforwardness, is introduced. Contrary to one-stage systems, sequentiality leads to a trade-off between the existence of a straightforward equilibrium and non-wastefulness. We identify the unique set of rules

High impedance Josephson junction resonators in the transmission line geometry

In this article, we present an experimental study of microwave resonators made out of Josephson junctions. The junctions are embedded in a transmission line geometry so that they increase the inductance per length for the line. By comparing two devices with different input/output coupling strengths, we show that the coupling capacitors, however, add a significant amount to the total capacitance of

What Constitutes Substantive Representation, and Where Should We Evaluate It?

This short article introduces a novel framework for conceiving of the substantive representation of marginalized groups – in this case, racially minoritized women in the UK House of Commons. I outline a rubric of eight facets of substantive representation. These evaluate the degree to which claims that constitute a group are also substantively representative of that group. In doing so, I contribut

A transmission electron microscope and group theoretical study of the new Bi-based high-Tc superconductors and some closely related Aurivillius phases

The Bi-based superconductors of approximate compositions Bi2Sr2CuO6 and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, and the closely related Aurivillius phases, Bi2BaNb2O9 and Bi4Ti3O12, are discussed from a group theoretical point of view. The structural complexities associated with these phases are treated in terms of successive modulation of an appropriately chosen parent structure. The space-group symmetries of the two Aur

Performance as Infrastructure and Institutional Unlearnings

About the book:"The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Politics is a volume of critical essays, provocations, and interventions on the most important questions faced by today's writers, critics, audiences, theatre and performance makers. Featuring texts written by scholars and artists who are diversely situated (geographically, culturally, politically, and institutionally), its multiple perspectiv

Size dependence of Eu2+ fluorescence in ZnS:Eu2+ nanoparticles

The emission bands of the 4.2, 3.2 and 2.6 nm sized ZnS:Eu2+ nanoparticles are peaking at 670, 580 and 520 nm, respectively. The emission of the 4.2 nm sized nanoparticles originates from the recombination of the Eu2+-bound exciton, while the emission of the 3.2 and 2.6 nm sized nanoparticles is from the Eu2+ intra-ion transition of 4f(6)5d(1)(t(2g))-4f(7). Possible mechanisms for the size depende

Uncovering the cytotoxic effects of air pollution with multimodal imaging of in vitro respiratory models

Annually, an estimated seven million deaths are linked to exposure to airborne pollutants. Despite extensive epidemiological evidence supporting clear associations between poor air quality and a range of short- and long-term health effects, there are considerable gaps in our understanding of the specific mechanisms by which pollutant exposure induces adverse biological responses at the cellular anAnnually, an estimated seven million deaths are linked to exposure to airborne pollutants.

Gender Representation and Leadership in Local Transport Decision-Making Positions

This paper aims to analyse and further capture nuances of gender representation in local political decision-making bodies, focusing on implications for transport policy. Since gender is highly relevant for both attitudes towards transport policy as well as political votes, data on the gender and political colour of executives (members of presidiums) of transport-related committees, councils, and b

Straight-line orientation in the brain of a ball-rolling dung beetle: an interdisciplinary investigation

Travelling in a straight line, answers in a beetle brain If you find yourself outdoors in South Africa you might stumble upon a ball-rolling dung beetle determinately rolling a dung ball. if you then follow the direction of the beetle from where it was rolling along a straight line, you will find yourself at a dung pat. The dung beetle is capable of rolling a dung ball in a straight line. It assi

Characterization of interfaces between hydrogenated amorphous carbon films and steel substrates using high resolution cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy

Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, including high resolution microscopy, was employed to characterize the interfaces between hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) films and steel substrates. Films were deposited both by ion beam decomposition of large hydrocarbon molecules and by magnetron plasma decomposition of C2H2. The latter method was also used to deposit Mo- and W-containing

Strategy-Proof Allocation of Objects: A Characterization Result

This paper considers an allocation problem with a finite number of objects and unit-demand agents. The main result is a characterization of a class of strategy-proof price mechanisms on a general domain where preferences over pairs of objects and houses are rational, monotonic, and continuous. A mechanism belongs to this class if and only if the price space is restricted in a special way and, give

'Pro Iuppiter!' : A Study of the Use of Oaths, Curses, and Prayers in Roman Comedy

This thesis concerns oaths, curses, and prayers in Roman comedy, more precisely the comedies by the playwriter Terence (185/84 - 159 BC). So-called informal/interjectional oaths and prayers constitute the main focus of this investigation, however, asseverations, formal oaths, formal prayers, and curses are included as well. In this study, carried out by utilizing the methodological frameworks herm

High risk of stroke in ANCA-Associated vasculitis-a population-based study

Objective: To determine the incidence rate, predictors and outcome of stroke in a population-based cohort of individuals with ANCA-Associated vasculitis (AAV). Methods: The study included 325 patients diagnosed with AAV from 1997 through 2016 in a defined geographic area of Sweden. Patients who suffered a stroke were identified from Riksstroke, a national Swedish stroke register established in 199
