Mary Wollstonecraft

In this chapter, it is argued that Mary Wollstonecraft’s (1759–1797) writings on morality and politics are usefully analyzed as comprehensive critique of hierarchy and inequality, as detrimental to freedom and virtue. Focus is placed on Wollstonecraft’s approach to doing philosophy, or her method. She regarded inequalities as moral deviations from proper standards of rightness but also as continge

Dose-efficient scanning Compton X-ray microscopy

The highest resolution of images of soft matter and biological materials is ultimately limited by modification of the structure, induced by the necessarily high energy of short-wavelength radiation. Imaging the inelastically scattered X-rays at a photon energy of 60 keV (0.02 nm wavelength) offers greater signal per energy transferred to the sample than coherent-scattering techniques such as phase

Simplified environmental analysis of the long-term performance of wood cladding and decking

The performance of timber in exposed environments is affected by several biotic and abiotic factors. For timber cladding and decking, two important aspects include reduced structural performance due to fungal decay and aesthetical changes resulting from superficial effects such as photodegradation and moulds. Predicting the long-term performance of timber is important because it enables rational m

Reinforcement of Dowelled Joints in Glulam

I et tidligere projekt støttet af Byggforskningsrådet undersøgtes virkningen af atarmere bolte- og sømforbindelser med glasfiber. Forsøg viste, at armeringenvar meget effektiv.I det projekt, som beskrives i denne rapport, er undersøgt armering af bolteforbindelser belastet vinkelret på fibrene i relativt store trætykkelser (90 mm limtræ). Der blev som armering anvendt glasfiber og også 6 mm birkek

Virtuosos of Mimesis and Mimicry : a Case Study of Movements Propagating Conspiracy Theories in Ireland and Poland

In recent years, conspiracy theories have been increasingly defined as a new social enemy, a threat to democracy. But scholars of conspiracy theories also point out that we have very little research that examines a direct link between conspiracy theories and political practice. We still know very little about the ways in which conspiratorial beliefs influence different forms of civic engagement an

Arrival of Normative Power in Planetary Politics

This lead article in a JCMS symposium marking 20 years of normative power provides a prospective intervention into thinking through the rest of the century by taking the language of Arrival, the 2016 speculative fiction film based on Ted Chiang's 1998 short ‘Story of Your Life’ and applying it to normative power by double-decolonising the anthropocentrism of capitalist culture and Eurocentrism in

HLA Class I Genotype Is Associated with Relapse Risk after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation for NPM1-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Mutation-bearing peptide ligands from mutated nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) protein have been empirically found to be presented by HLA class I in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We hypothesized that HLA genotype may impact allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) outcomes in NPM1-mutated AML owing to differences in antigen presentation. We evaluated the effect of the variable of predic

The Text-Package : An R-Package for Analyzing and Visualizing Human Language Using Natural Language Processing and Transformers

The language that individuals use for expressing themselves contains rich psychological information. Recent significant advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning (DL), namely transformers, have resulted in large performance gains in tasks related to understanding natural language. However, these state-of-the-art methods have not yet been made easily accessible for psychology

Validation of an omega-3 substrate challenge absorption test as an indicator of global fat lipolysis

Introduction The coefficient of fat absorption (CFA) quantifies fat that remains in stool after digestion and is not a direct measure of lipolysis. CFA has been used to assess treatment of pancreatic insufficiency but does not correlate with pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy dose. We explored use of an omega-3 substrate absorption challenge test as a sensitive test of lipolysis and absorption.

Ten-year trends of immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) as reflected in the Swedish National Cataract Register

Purpose: To analyse trends of ISBCS reported to the Swedish National Cataract Register (NCR) over a 10-year period. Methods: Since 2010 the NCR contains social security number of all individuals in the list of parameters reported to NCR after each cataract procedure. Bilateral surgeries were mapped out using social security numbers. When dates of both-eye surgeries are identical for an individual

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi trigger danger-associated peptide signaling and inhibit carbon‒phosphorus exchange with nonhost plants

In soil, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) meet the roots of both host and presumed nonhost plants, but the interactional mechanisms of AMF with and functional relevance for nonhost plants is little known. Here we show AMF can colonize an individually grown nonhost plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, and suppress the growth of Arabidopsis and two nonhost Brassica crops. This inhibitory effect increased

Introduction

This edited volume discusses the emergence and development, and in some cases also the disappearance, of social movements and activism in the Swedish 1980s. The introductory chapter gives the background and aim of the volume and discusses why the Swedish case is interesting from a European perspective. The 1980s have often been described as a decade when the radical social movements of the 1960s a

Pluriversal spaces for decolonizing design : Exploring decolonial directions for participatory design

Decolonization is a situated effort as it relates to the relations of privilege, power, politics, and access (3P-A, in Albarrán González’s terms) between the people involved in design in relation to wider societies. This complexity creates certain challenges for how we can understand, learn about, and nurture decolonization in design towards pluriversality, since such decolonizing effort is based

Ingvar Carlson var en nyliberal pionjär

Socialdemokraternas tidigare ledare Ingvar Carlsson underskattar sin nyliberala pionjärinsats. ”Har han inte förstått vad han sysslat med som statsråd och statsminister?”, frågar sig professor Lars Jonung.

Fluorescence-Based Measurements of Two-Dimensional Affinity in Membrane Interfaces

Binding between ligands and receptors across cell contacts influences a range of biological processes including the formation of the immune synapse. The dissociation constant (Kd = 1/affinity) of the interaction corresponds to the concentration of ligands where half of the receptors in the contact have bound a ligand. In this chapter, we outline how to measure this two-dimensional affinity using m

Side effects of low-dose tamoxifen : results from a six-armed randomised controlled trial in healthy women

Background: Adherence to adjuvant tamoxifen therapy is suboptimal, and acceptance of tamoxifen for primary prevention is poor. Published results indicate effect of low-dose tamoxifen therapy. Using questionnaire data from a randomised controlled trial, we describe side effects of standard and low-dose tamoxifen in healthy women. Methods: In the KARISMA trial, 1440 healthy women were randomised to

Refugee Entrepreneurship : Towards a Nuanced Understanding of the Phenomenon

Forced cross-border migration and entrepreneurship have persisted as perennial themes throughout the annals of human history. However, the recent ‘refugee crisis’ has sparked a resurgence of interest in their interplay under the rubric of ‘refugee entrepreneurship’. While its territory is not entirely uncharted, a surge in scholarly urgency and heightened scientific production have significantly e
