New methods for separation and recovery of biomolecules
New methods and applications in the separation of biomolecules are reviewed, with an emphasis on the large-scale recovery of proteins. Highlights include the advent of flow-through particles in perfusion chromatography, which allows for very high flow rates, while retaining a high chromatographic efficiency.
Literate Money: Mobile Money Services and Financial Literacy
This paper tries to understand the relationship between mobile money and financial literacy, and further down examines whether any potential relationship would also imply a causal effect by mobile money on financial literacy. The analysis is done in the context of Kenya, a pioneer in mobile money with its implementation of M-Pesa drastically changing the economic climate in the country. The relati
Towards National Connected Digital Twins - A Geospatial Perspective
Digital Twins are realistic digital representations of the physical world, frequently characterised by a two way link between digital and physical. Originating in manufacturing, they are now expanding to city and national scales. In this paper we explore connections between Geographic Information Science and National Digital Twins. Six different viewpoints and perspectives are presented on the top
The impact of late design choices on daylight and energy use in buildings
Daylight analysis is often carried out when definitive decisions about space characteristics such as materials, colours, window characteristics and furnishing have not yet been made. Such late design choices, which are first introduced or can still be changed late in the design process or even after its conclusion, impact the daylight levels of interior spaces. This study explored the impact of la
Border controls and (im)mobilities : Experiences from a public transport node
The Öresund Bridge between Sweden and Denmark was opened in 2000, allowing both road traffic and fast commuter trains to travel between Malmö and Copenhagen. Various agreements have long facilitated passport-free travel. However, at the end of 2015, temporary border controls were first introduced. This paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of portrayals in the news media and everyday mobili
Carbon isotope values of hazelnut shells: a new proxy for canopy density
Hazel (Corylus avellana) has been abundant in the vegetation of northern and central Europe since the early Holocene and has provided food and materials for humans ever since. Here we use stable carbon isotope (δ13C) values of hazelnut shells to infer woodland openness based on the premise of the “canopy effect”. It is well established that plants growing in dense, shaded forests have lower carbon
Snow redistribution decreases winter soil carbon loss in the Arctic dry heath tundra
Rapid warming increases winter soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux in Arctic tundra ecosystems, which can significantly offset carbon (C) uptake during growing seasons and affect the overall annual C balance. In winter, the Arctic landscape is predominantly covered with snow, which is vital for regulating ecological processes. Nevertheless, the impact of snow redistribution on the spatial distributio
Impact of final design on daylight provision
Daylight analysis informs design decisions in architectural spaces, yet materials, colours, and furnishings - often chosen later - can significantly impact indoor daylighting. This study assessed these effects in a typical open-plan office in Copenhagen using parametric simulations with Radiance through Honeybee in Grasshopper, complemented by a sensitivity analysis following the Morris method. Va
Navigating Turbulence: A qualitative analysis of United Airlines' external crisis communication strategies
United Airlines is a major American airline company founded in 1926, which operates both domestic and international routes. They have experienced past reputational damage, and have suffered a loss in legitimacy as critics have questioned their practices. Using the Legitimacy Theory and Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) as basis, a thematic content analysis (specifically template analy
"Operationen gick bra men patienten dog"
I takt med att samhället digitaliseras ökar även tillgängligheten till olika kommunikationsforum där samspel mellan individer och organisationer är nödvändigt för att bibehålla förtroende mellan parterna. Som resultat av en stigande digital närvaro ökar även organisationers behov att hantera krissituationer i en kommunikativ kontext. En konsekvens av digitaliseringen som uppmärksammats mer och merAs our society becomes increasingly digitised, a growing number of communication platforms emerge, necessitating interaction between individuals and organisations to sustain trust between them. One consequence of digitalisation that has gained more and more attention is the occurrence of cyber attacks, whose increased presence poses serious threats to individuals, organisations and society at larg

Improvements in precision and accuracy of complex- relative to real-domain linear combination model spectral fitting not necessarily recovered by zero filling
Although the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone. There is currently no known investigation comparing fit results obtained from LCM fitting over the full complex data versus the real data and how these resulAlthough the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone.

Extracellular vesicles released from microglia after palmitate exposure impact brain function
Dietary patterns that include an excess of foods rich in saturated fat are associated with brain dysfunction. Although microgliosis has been proposed to play a key role in the development of brain dysfunction in diet-induced obesity (DIO), neuroinflammation with cytokine over-expression is not always observed. Thus, mechanisms by which microglia contribute to brain impairment in DIO are uncertain.
