On the persistence of the ether as absolute space
We analyse how the concept of the ether, playing the role of absolute space, is still present in physics. When the problem is considered in the context of classical mechanics, we show that vestiges of absolute space can be found in the standard presentation of inertial systems. We offer an alternative -- fully relational -- definition of inertial systems which not only eliminates the problem but i

Fire behaviour of selected polymeric materials : Numerical modelling and validation using microscale and bench scale test methods
The ability to predict fire behaviour of materials is of key interest to building materials industry. Themain reason for it is expensive fire testing and certification costs borne by the manufacturers to bring a finished product to market. Failure in a fire test leads to increased expenses in the productdevelopment cycle leading to delayed realization of profits and low cost competitiveness in the
Identity construction and dialect acquisition among immigrants in rural areas–the case of Swedish-language Finland
The study focuses on how transnational migration affects the socio-political peripheries of communities. Specifically, we focus on identity construction and on how identities are worked out among second-generation immigrants from Bosnia, whose parents came to the Swedish-language countryside in Finland as refugees in the early 1990s. We analyse the Bosnians’ small stories and their use of linguist
The forkhead box containing transcription factor FoxB is a potential component of dorsal-ventral body axis formation in the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum
In the spider, determination of the dorsal-ventral body (DV) axis depends on the interplay of the dorsal morphogen encoding gene decapentaplegic (Dpp) and its antagonist, short gastrulation (sog), a gene that is involved in the correct establishment of ventral tissues. Recent work demonstrated that the forkhead domain encoding gene FoxB is involved in dorsal-ventral axis formation in spider limbs.
A new role for “eat me” and “don’t eat me” markers on neutrophils in asthmatic airway inflammation
Investing in our Adolescents: Assertions of the 11th World Congress on Adolescent Health
The imperial roots of global trade
Throughout history empires facilitated trade within their territories by building and securing trade and migration routes, and by imposing common norms, languages, religions, and legal systems, all of which led to the accumulation of imperial capital. In this paper, we collect novel data on the rise and fall of empires over the last 5000 years, construct a measure of accumulated imperial capital b
Confidence in the National Immunization Program among parents in Sweden 2016 – A cross-sectional survey
Background: Vaccination coverage for infant vaccinations in the Swedish National Immunization Program (NIP) has been high for more than a decade, with approximately 97% of 2-year-old children fully immunized. Vaccination coverage against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has been around 80% since introduction for girls in 2012. This indicates high parental confidence in the NIP, but as seen in other Eur
Matching habitat choice : it's not for everyone
Matching habitat choice is a habitat preference mechanism based on self-assessment of local performance, such that individuals settle in the habitats that are best suited to their phenotypes, promoting local adaptation. Despite the important evolutionary implications of matching habitat choice, examples from natural populations are rare. One possible reason for this apparent rarity is that phenoty
White and clear wings in bats (Chiroptera)
White or clear (“whitish”) wings are a distinct feature in about 30 species of tropical insectivorous bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) belonging to three families (Emballonuridae, Molossidae, and Vespertilionidae). Such wings may provide camouflage against the sky at dusk and dawn, when bats commute to and from the roost and are vulnerable to aerial predation from birds. We tested this hypothesis by co
Small firms and patenting revisited
In order to observe a patent application at the firm level, two conditions need to be met: new products need to be of patentable quality, which depends both on the degree of novelty of innovations and on the total number (portfolio) of innovations; and the benefits of patents need to be higher than the costs of owning them. Analyzing the patent propensity of small and large UK firms using a novel

Relationship of White Matter Lesions with Intracerebral Hemorrhage Expansion and Functional Outcome : MISTIE II and CLEAR III
Background/Objective: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients commonly have concomitant white matter lesions (WML) which may be associated with poor outcome. We studied if WML affects hematoma expansion (HE) and post-stroke functional outcome in a post hoc analysis of patients from randomized controlled trials. Methods: In ICH patients from the clinical trials MISTIE II and CLEAR III, WML grade on
Mild acute cellular rejection and development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy assessed by intravascular ultrasound and coronary angiography in heart transplant recipients—a SCHEDULE trial substudy
To evaluate the association between mild acute cellular rejection (ACR) and the development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) after heart transplantation (HTx). Substudy of the SCHEDULE trial (n = 115), where de novo HTx recipients were randomized to (i) everolimus with early CNI elimination or (ii) CNI-based immunosuppression. Seventy-six patients (66%) were included based on matched intrav
Begging and social tolerance : Food solicitation tactics in young chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in the wild
The substantial role of food sharing in human evolution has been widely recognized, and food-soliciting tactics may have been critical in facilitating these transfers. Great apes, our closest living relatives, also use different food-soliciting tactics to obtain food from both kin and non-kin. However, the individual and social factors involved in requests for and subsequent transfers of food have
