Reelin is a large extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein secreted by several neuronal populations in a specific manner in both the developing and the adult central nervous system. The extent of Reelin protein distribution and its functional role in the adult neocortex is well documented in different mammal models. However, its role in the adult spinal cord has not been well characterized and its

Fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) deployments are being rolled out in both the C–band (3.3 - 5.0 GHz) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) band (24.5 - 29.5 GHz). For outdoor scenarios, the C–band is expected to provide wide area coverage and throughput uniformity, whereas the mmWave band is expected to provide ultra-high throughput to dedicated areas within the C-band coverage. Due to the differences

The armed conflict shaped and determined land-uses, water access and social and environmental norms in highlands regions in Colombia for several decades. The withdrawal of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) after the Peace Agreement with the government of Colombia in 2016, has brought new dynamics in access and uses of land leading to increasingly visible social-environmental impact

Värmeböljor är den klimateffekt som väntas få störst påverkan på hälsan i Europa, och värmeböljor förväntas bli vanligare, intensivare och mer långvariga iframtiden.I tätorter skapas ett lokalt klimat som gör att befolkningen där kan bli mer exponerad för värme än i glesare bebyggda områden. Det gäller särskilt tätbebyggda områden med hög andel hårdgjorda ytor och lite vegetation. I sådana områden

Chlorophyll is the light-harvesting molecule central to the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is synthesized through 15 enzymatic steps. Most of the reactions have been characterized using recombinant proteins. One exception is the formation of the isocyclic E-ring characteristic of chlorophylls. This reaction is catalyzed by the Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester cyclase encoded by Xantha

Background: The present study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Italian version of the Autism Spectrum Disorder in Adults Screening Questionnaire (ASDASQ), a screening tool for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among psychiatric outpatients. Methods: We recruited 340 subjects via an outpatient psychiatric service in Italy. Forty-eight had a diagnosis of ASD, confirmed after a compr

In the latest World Tourism Barometer, UNWTO (2020) predicts that global tourism could decline by up to 80% this year. While many tourism-dependent economies in Europe are currently suffering from under-tourism, the heated debate between tourism developers and local stakeholders about adverse impacts of over-tourism is likely to reignite even stronger once the inrush of tourists returns. As a resu

Was bedeutet es, eine iranische Komponistin zu sein? Anahita Abbasi, Niloufar Nourbakhsh, und Aida Shirazi wurden alle zwischen 1985 und 1992 geboren, leben heute in den USA und gehören zu den ersten Frauen aus dem Iran, die sich trotz vieler Hindernisse im Geburtsland und auf internationaler Ebene – etwa den strengen Sanktionen und Trumps Travel Ban – eine erfolgreiche Karriere als Komponistinnen

Safety evaluations made in the city Helsingborg indicate a decreased risk of being exposed to crime, but an increased feeling of unsafe. Damage in the form of scribbling (graffiti) is one of several indicators contributing to feeling unsafe. In this paper we investigate whether the use of Internet­-of-­things technology, where a sensor monitors a walking and cycling tunnel, makes it possible to re

Progress in the power conversion efficiency of solar cells based on metal-halide perovskite semiconductors has been astonishing for the past years. During their development, transient effects have been observed that gave rise to an uncertainty associated with the determination of device performance from current density-voltage (J-V) measurements. This effect becomes visible in a dependence of the

The article analyzes the varied meanings historically associated with concepts of voluntarism in relation to social relief as they were articulated by changing moral elites in Denmark from the late nineteenth century until the present. Concepts of voluntarism have historically constituted “normative counterconcepts” that link voluntary practices to desired futures in opposition to alternative mode

The mechanisms by which lime and/or phosphate addition impacts the preservation of soil organic matter (OM) are poorly understood. We explored the changes in quantity and chemistry of water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) in the bulk soil and its heavy density fraction (>1.6 g/cm3) of an unmanaged C-rich volcanic soil caused by lime and/or phosphate application. The addition of lime or phosphate

BACKGROUND: The risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is found to be substantially increased after organ transplantation. The association with specific immunosuppressive regimens has been previously investigated, but results are not concordant. We aimed to clarify the relationship between separate immunosuppressive drugs, drug load, timing and risk of post-transplant CSCC.METHODS: A pop

Glial progenitor cells are widely distributed in brain parenchyma and represent a suitable target for future therapeutic interventions that generate new neurons via in situ reprogramming. Previous studies have shown successful reprogramming of mouse glia into neurons whereas the conversion of human glial cells remains challenging due to the limited accessibility of human brain tissue. Here, we hav
