Taking inspiration in Barbro Klein’s work, this article focuses on the production of a particular type of institutional lore that we call heritagelore. Heritagelore, as we are advancing the concept here, is composed of the discursive practices within the walls and the organizations of museums. It is the lore that shapes and at least partially structures the types of stories that directors, museum
Background: Active Rehabilitation (AR) is a community peer-based concept for people with spinal cord injury (SCI) that is primarily delivered through brief residential training programmes. Despite a plethora of positive anecdotal evidence of AR programmes as life-changing experiences, the effects of AR-programmes have not been evaluated scientifically. Here, we present the protocol of the INTERnat
Metal particles are embedded in the polymer to form a polymer composite film as a seed layer on an insulating substrate to overcome the limitation that electrodeposited copper only occurring at the interface between the polymer and the metal electrode. In this work, we successfully developed a Cu-polythiophenes composite film (Cu-PT composite film) through a facile in-situ reduction method, obtain
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) increases the risk of delayed neurodegenerative processes, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), a key pro-inflammatory cytokine, may promote secondary injury development after TBI. Conversely, neutralizing IL-1β was found to improve functional recovery following experimental TBI. However, the mechanisms underlying the behavioral improvements o
The identity of people living in Central Appalachia is tightly connected with water. Because of the threats to water resources due to coal mining, and most recently, hydraulic fracturing and oil and gas pipeline projects, citizens have formed several nonprofit organizations to preserve or restore rivers and watersheds. Notably, women head the biggest, state-wide, most active and visible of these o
IMPORTANCE Treatment trials require sound knowledge on the natural course of disease. OBJECTIVE To assess clinical features, genetic findings, and genotype-phenotype correlations in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) associated with biallelic sequence variations in the PDE6A gene in preparation for a gene supplementation trial. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This prospective, longitudinal,
Galactic outflows driven by stellar feedback are crucial for explaining the inefficiency of star formation in galaxies. Although strong feedback can promote the formation of galactic discs by limiting star formation at early times and removing low angular momentum (AM) gas, it is not understood how the same feedback can result in diverse objects such as elliptical galaxies or razor thin spiral gal
This study attempts to reconcile competing positions in an important debate about the relationship between regime type and human development. We contend that this empirical relationship is contingent upon issues of conceptualization and measurement in democracy. First, the relationship is more likely to be perceived when democracy is measured in a nuanced fashion, taking account of gradations of d
This work presents an approach for radio-based localization in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments by leveraging a dual-polarization antenna array. By estimating the polarization of the received signal, it is possible to estimate the angle of reflection of a NLOS signal. An estimate of the position of the transmitter concerning the receiver can be obtained based on a joint estimation of the refl
Purpose: To describe the stages of development and natural course of a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) in a patient with enhanced S-cone syndrome (ESCS). Methods: This study reported the serial ophthalmologic examinations and macular spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging over a period of 6 years in a 29-year-old man with ESCS confirmed by electroretinography (ERG) and NR
This article looks into the meaning of the concepts of sincere cooperation,mutual trust, and mutual recognition in EU social security coordination. Itanalyses the legislative choice of coordination as the main regulatory mechanism in the field, and examines the role of administrative cooperation. Furthermore, the article highlights the challenges that arise in situations where mutual recognition i
