Focusing on the period from 1870 to 1960, this chapter provides an overview of anarchist approaches to anti-imperialism, offering examples of collaborations, solidarities, antagonisms and syntheses between anarchists and anti-colonialists from across the British, Spanish, French and Portuguese colonial worlds and within the imperial metropoles in Europe. Alongside anti-colonial resistances to thes

Equality between men and women has also affected women in non-expected ways. Today, the prevalence of female substance abuse is slowly approaching the male level. A similar trend has been seen in gambling with increased numbers of women gambling and developing problems but also seeking help for problems related to gambling. There is reason to believe the same is applicable for gaming. Several stud

Introduction. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with motor and nonmotor symptoms. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives. To explore how COVID-19 affects motor, nonmotor, and general health aspects of PD and to map how PD patients perceive their change in symptoms since fa

The advent of optogenetic tools has had a profound impact on modern neuroscience research, revolutionizing our understanding of the brain. These tools offer a remarkable ability to precisely manipulate specific groups of neurons with an unprecedented level of temporal precision, on the order of milliseconds. This breakthrough has significantly advanced our knowledge of various physiological and pa

A collection of essays from a diverse group of writers originally published in the Dutch anti-militarist journal, "De Wapens Neder" (1935). Through their writing, these anarchist and socialist writers from Europe, Algeria, India, Japan, and the United States connected the struggles against fascism and imperialism in East Asia and Europe with anti-colonial struggles in India and Africa and the Afri

Impaired lexical retrieval is common in persons with low-grade glioma (LGG). Several studies have reported a discrepancy between subjective word-finding difficulties and results on formal tests. Analysis of spontaneous speech might be more sensitive to signs of word-finding difficulties, hence we aimed to explore disfluencies in a spontaneous-speech task performed by participants with presumed LGG

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att analysera biltillverkares hållbarhetsredovisning med hjälp av legitimitetsteorin för att bidra till förståelse av hur legitimitet skapas i hållbarhetsrapporter. Frågeställningar: Hur uppstår legitimitet i hållbarhetsredovisning genom transparens och mål? Hur uppstår legitimitet i hållbarhetsredovisning genom koder och principer? Hur uppstår legitimitet genom s

A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was succes

Despite the recent experimental and theoretical progress in the investigation of the nuclear fission process, a complete description still represents a challenge in nuclear physics because it is a very complex dynamical process, whose description involves the coupling between intrinsic and collective degrees of freedom, as well as different quantum-mechanical phenomena. To improve on the existing

Background: SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination has been associated with both side effects and a reduction in COVID-related complaints due to the decrease in COVID-19 incidence. We aimed to investigate if individuals who received three doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines had a lower incidence of (a) medical complaints and (b) COVID-19-related medical complaints, both as seen in primary care, when compared t

Importance: Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology starts with a prolonged phase of β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation without symptoms. The duration of this phase differs greatly among individuals. While this disease phase has high relevance for clinical trial designs, it is currently unclear how to best predict the onset of clinical progression. Objective: To evaluate combinations of different plasma biomark

Malaria är världens dödligaste parasitsjukdom som årligen drabbar nästan 250 miljoner människor, varav 95% av fallen sker i Subsahariska Afrika. Över en halv miljon människor dör till följd av malaria varje år där majoriteten av dem är barn. Sjukdomen sprids av myggor som är infekterade av encelliga parasiter av släktet Plasmodium. Det finns fem Plasmodium-arter som kan smitta människor, varav P. The widespread and infectious disease malaria is still prevalent and endemic in many countries around the equator. The treatment and prevention of malaria is hampered by the rapid development of resistance in parasites against antimalarial drugs. In recent years, metal derivatives of chloroquine, the previously dominant antimalaria drug, have been studied as alternatives to overcome the resistance

Primary and secondary bile acids (BAs) influence metabolism and inflammation, and the gut microbiome modulates levels of BAs. We systematically explore the host genetic, gut microbial, and habitual dietary contribution to a panel of 19 serum and 15 stool BAs in two population-based cohorts (TwinsUK, n = 2,382; ZOE PREDICT-1, n = 327) and assess changes post-bariatric surgery and after nutritional

Human carbonic anhydrase II catalyzes the reversible reaction of carbon dioxide and water to form bicarbonate and a proton. His64-mediated proton shuttling between the active site and the bulk solvent is rate limiting. Here we investigate the protonation behavior of His64 as well as its structural and dynamic features in a pH dependent way. We derive two pK a values for His64, 6.25 and 7.60, that

Reinforcement learning is one of the three main paradigms in machine learning, which is increasingly used as a method to approach scientific problems. In this thesis, we introduce and use reinforcement learning to find the optimal parameters of a numerical solver. We first motivate that solving the linear systems can be done by solving initial value problems. These initial values problems can the

We present an experimental study investigating the solvent-dependent dynamics of a 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene monomer, dimer, and trimer. Using transient absorption spectroscopy, we have discovered that triplet excited state formation in the dimer and trimer molecules in polar solvents is a consequence of charge recombination subsequent to symmetry-breaking charge separation rather than sin
