From 1945 to 1946, Zygmunt Lakocinski (1905-1987) served as the head of the Polish Research Institute in Lund. The Institute conducted interviews with newly arrived concentration camp prisoners, thus documenting the traumatic wartime experiences of repatriates. With the evacuated former prisoners in mind, Lakocinski founded and served as the editor of the Polish-language weekly "Polak". The collec
Over the years, electronic waste accumulation has been on a steep rise, parallel with the technological evolution of electrical and electronic equipment. Companies have adopted circular economy approach to overcome the emerging waste issue in the last few decades, where goods can return to manufacturers or remanufacturers. They can be used after certain modifications or remanufacturing processes.
The small body of research on writing and writing processes in the group of deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children has shown that this group struggles more with writing than their hearing peers. This article aims to explore in what ways the DHH group differs from their peers regarding the written product and the writing processes. Participants are all in the age span 10–12 years old and include:
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are established pharmaceutical therapies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. They mimic the action of GLP-1 to reduce glucose levels through stimulation of insulin secretion and inhibition of glucagon secretion. They also reduce body weight by inducing satiety through central actions. The GLP-1 receptor agonists used clinically are ba
Type 2 diabetes and dementia are associated, but it is unclear whether the two diseases have common genetic risk markers that could partly explain their association. It is also unclear whether the association between the two diseases is of a causal nature. Furthermore, few studies on diabetes and dementia have validated dementia end-points with high diagnostic precision. We tested associations bet
City marketing and convention bureaus value propositions in the post-covid timeThe role of convention bureaus across the world is to market destinations and cities.This paper explores destination marketing in the post pandemic time. It focusses on thevalues that convention bureaus, a key actor in the meetings industry, propose topotential visitors. The concept of value propositions (VPs) is common
In this paper, model-based sustainability assessment framework with social impact considerations is developed. The framework integrates the stochastic, nonlinear, and complex interrelationships that characterize most manufacturing systems, and incorporates their impact in the sustainability assessment module. The framework consists of three models that run successively, namely: stochastic discrete
Pteropodidae is the only phytophagous bat family that predominantly depends on visual and olfactory cues for orientation and foraging. During daytime, pteropodids of different species roost in sites with varying light exposure. Pteropodids have larger eyes relative to body size than insectivorous bats. Retinal topography has been studied in less than 10% of the approximately 200 pteropodid species
Any ultrafast optical spectroscopy experiment is usually accompanied by the necessary routine of ultrashort-pulse characterization. The majority of pulse characterization approaches solve either a one-dimensional (e.g., via interferometry) or a two-dimensional (e.g., via frequency-resolved measurements) problem. Solution of the two-dimensional pulse-retrieval problem is generally more consistent d
In research on intimate partner violence, most studies focus on those who are abused. In this chapter, we focus on how families, friends, relatives, and employers of abuse victims interact through the use of smartphones, social media platforms, apps, and other internet-connected devices. We discuss how digital technology is integrated into the lives of domestic abuse victims and their social netwo
Thermodynamic stability is a crucial fitness constraint in protein evolution and is a central factor in shaping the sequence landscapes of proteins. The correlation between stability and molecular fitness depends on the mechanism that relates the biophysical property with biological function. In the simplest case, stability and fitness are related by the amount of folded protein. However, when pro
