Hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking’) was a controversial issue in the United Kingdom that sparked national and community-led groups to organise protest mobilisations. To date, however, the social science literature has largely focussed upon general anti-fracking discourse rather than on the physical, community-led mobilisations that emerged from the frustrations of people directly affected at a local

Silicon (Si) is an essential macronutrient for diatoms, an important component of lacustrine primary productivity that represents a link between the carbon and silicon cycles. Reconstructions of lake silicon cycling thus provide an underexploited window onto lake and catchment biogeochemistry. Silicon isotope geochemistry has potential to provide these reconstructions, given the competing source a

När det gäller det tidiga klosterväsendet vet vi dessvärre mycket mer om manliga asketer och manliga kloster än om kvinnliga asketer och nunnekloster. Förutom en viss mängd papyrer, ostraka och annat arkeologiskt material är vi hänvisade till manliga författares skrifter om och till kvinnor. En av de manliga författare som bidragit allra mest när det gäller vår möjlighet att veta något om tidigkri

Understanding high-order biexciton dynamics is important for the use of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in optoelectronic devices. The core–shell structure can be used to modulate biexciton dynamics by varying the shell thickness and core–shell energy band alignment. In this study, the biexciton dynamics in an unconventional case in which each QD is encapsulated by a submonolayer shell are demons

The azimuthal (Δ φ) correlation distributions between heavy-flavor decay electrons and associated charged particles are measured in pp and p–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV. Results are reported for electrons with transverse momentum 4 < pT< 16 GeV / c and pseudorapidity | η| < 0.6 . The associated charged particles are selected with transverse momentum 1 < pT< 7 GeV / c , and relative pseudorapidit

Objective: To investigate the association between female body mass index (BMI) and live birth rates and maternal and perinatal outcomes after in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Methods: We performed a national, population-based cohort study including women undergoing IVF between 2002 and 2020. The cohort included 126,620 fresh cycles and subsequent frozen embryo transfers between 2007 and 2019 (subpopu

Microcephaly is often caused by an impairment of the generation of neurons in the brain, a process referred to as neurogenesis. While most neurogenesis in mammals occurs during brain development, it thought to continue to take place through adulthood in selected regions of the mammalian brain, notably the hippocampus. However, the generality of neurogenesis in the adult brain has been controversia

Context: Continuous experimentation (CE) is used by many companies with internet-facing products to improve their business models and software solutions based on user data. Some companies deliberately adopt a systematic experiment-driven approach to software development while some companies use CE in a more ad-hoc fashion. Objective: The goal of this study is to identify factors for success in CE

Ongoing debates on spatial justice often highlight bottom-up struggles by movements making demands on the state. This kind of narrative certainly reflects the limitations imposed by decades of neoliberal reforms that have pushed back the formal influence of grassroots in many areas. With the hegemonic formation that sustained neoliberal rule in prolonged crisis, there are now more openings for rad

Bacterial infections of the respiratory tract cause millions of deaths annually. Several diseases exist wherein (1) bacterial infection is the main cause of disease (e.g., tuberculosis and bacterial pneumonia), (2) bacterial infection is a consequence of disease and worsens the disease prognosis (e.g., cystic fibrosis), and (3) bacteria-triggered inflammation propagates the disease (e.g., chronic

Butterfly eyespots are wing patterns reminiscent of vertebrate eyes, formed by concentric rings of contrastingly coloured scales. Eyespots are usually located close to the wing margin and often regarded as the single most conspicuous pattern element of butterfly wing colour displays. Recent efforts to understand the processes involved in the formation of eyespots have been driven mainly by evo-dev

En ny utställningsbyggnad till Kulturen i Lund presenteras med ritningar och bilder. Bakgrunden till gestaltningen kommer ifrån en studie av staden Lund, dess arkitekturtradition och hur dessa kan sammankopplas med begrepp som tid och materialitet. Projektet börjar med en kort redogörelse för Lunds byggnads- och arkitekturhistoria. Det avslutas med allmänna reflektioner om staden karaktär. DärefteA new exhibition hall for Kulturen in Lund is presented with drawings and pictures. The background to the design comes from a study of the city of Lund, its architectural tradition, and how these can connect with concepts such as time and materiality. The project begins with a brief chronology of Lund’s building and architectural history. It concludes with general reflections on the city’s charact

Brain organoid technology has transformed both basic and applied biomedical research and paved the way for novel insights into developmental processes and disease states of the human brain. While the use of brain organoids has been rapidly growing in the past decade, the accompanying bioengineering and biofabrication solutions have remained scarce. As a result, most brain organoid protocols still

A wide range of literatures have identified the capitalist organisation of societies, and the capitalist growth imperative central to this organisation, as the root cause of the catastrophic climate and biodiversity crises. Highlighting the need to break with this imperative, a growing community of scholars generally viewed as anti- and postcapitalist, there is no consensus on how precisely to con

De relevanta faktorerna för val av övergångsställe eller gångpassage samt för deras utformning på huvudgator beskrivs baserat på litteraturstudie utifrån forskning och handböcker. Några kommuners arbete med översyn av övergångsställen beskrivs och det belyses på vilka grunder som åtgärderna är gjorda och vilket tillvägagångsätt kommunerna har haft. Det görs en sammanställning av olika sätt att öka
