Wide variation in visual field configuration across avian species is hypothesized to be driven primarily by foraging ecology and predator detection. While some studies of selected taxa have identified relationships between foraging ecology and binocular field characteristics in particular species, few have accounted for the relevance of shared ancestry. We conducted a large-scale, comparative anal
Debates around age effects in L2 learning have mostly centred around the domains of phonology, morphosyntax, and lexis. In this chapter, we expand the scope to conceptual and cognitive restructuring, much in line with Long’s (1990, 2013) discussion of the limits of age effects. Drawing on an extensive review of the extant literature, the current chapter examines the role that age of L2 acquisition
This chapter discusses Ilia Repin’s court commission, Reception of Volost Elders by Alexander III in the Courtyard of the Petrovsky Palace in Moscow (1886). It argues that the painting reflected marginalizing discourses on the non-Russian minorities dominant at the outset of Alexander III’s rule. Repin employed a differentiating approach to rendering ethnically and religiously diverse representati
The article investigates the ways in which Pirjo Honkasalo’s documentary The 3 Rooms of Melancholia (2004), examining the impact of the Russian-Chechen war on children, engenders a transnational audience through cinematic qualities, and most importantly through embodiment, producing a strongly affective resonance in the spectator. I argue that through a strategically affective approach to transnat
Hur nådde fossildriven teknik Egypten på sin väg mot global dominans? Denna avhandling presenterar en socioekologisk historia av energiteknologier i förkoloniala Egyptens jordbruksproduktion (1820-talet-76). Den placerar dem i 1800-talet, början på Kapitalocenens epok; och i Egyptens fall är detta samtidigt en del av Storbritanniens fossila imperiums uppkomst. Denna avhandling behandlar hur ångmasHow did fossil-fuelled technology find its way to Egypt on its way to global dominance? This thesis presents a socioecological history of energy technologies in agrarian production in pre-colonial Egypt (1820s – 76). It situates them in the nineteenth century, understood as the beginning of the epoch of the Capitalocene; and in Egypt’s case, this is simultaneously part of the rise of Britain’s fos
Polarized neutron imaging brings the great advantage of analyzing bulk magnetic properties with good spatial resolution. The technique is based on the interaction of the neutron spin with magnetic samples or free magnetic fields and observing the changes to a spin-polarized neutron beam. The high sensitivity to even small magnetic fields is a benefit in obtaining magnetization information but simu
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is initiated and propagated by leukemia stem cells (LSCs), a self-renewing population of leukemia cells responsible for therapy resistance. Hence, there is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic opportunities targeting LSCs. Here, we performed an in vivo CRISPR knockout screen to identify potential therapeutic targets by interrogating cell surface dependencies of L
This edited collection proposes instituting as a potentially critical methodology in curating, art making and social organizing today, and seeks to discuss forms and structures that take place inside and outside institutions. Rethinking of collective artistic and social practices through and beyond the “waves of institutional critique” this books discusses instituting as a process in continuous cr
Indirect excitons are the focus of intense research due to the opportunity of studying degenerate quantum gases and liquids in an excitonic system. To realize such systems, it is highly advantageous to have as little scattering as possible. A polytype type-II interface is formed between wurtzite and zincblende InP due to the band alignment. Electrons gather on the zincblende and holes on the wurtz
Miniaturization of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with sizes down to a few micrometers has become a hot topic in both academia and industry due to their attractive applications on self-emissive displays for high-definition televisions, augmented/mixed realities and head-up displays, and also on optogenetics, high-speed light communication, etc. The conventional top-down technology uses dry etching t
This chapter focuses on life science companies’ engagement with their university- based entrepreneurship ecosystem. It analyzes multiple case studies with life science companies based around Lund University in Sweden. Our results demonstrate that life science companies engage with their ecosystem through three interconnected engagement logics: network, relations, and governance. We propose a model
Children with cancer experience recurring hospitalizations and isolation during treatment, which affect their school attendance. This study explores experiences of children with cancer, their classmates, and teachers with using the telepresence robot as a learning mediator in the hybrid classroom during treatment periods. 31 children with cancer (aged 7–17 years), 30 teachers, and 118 classmates p
BackgroundA specific eHealth device, a surf tablet, was developed for bridging between advanced in-hospital care and children’s homes. Since little is known about determinators for parental eHealth usage, the study’s aim was to explore if parents’ usage of the device was associated with their eHealth literacy, or their satisfaction with their child’s healthcare or with the specific surf tablet.Met
By applying the theoretical concepts of wilderness, and uneven and combined development, I provide a partial environmental history of the French invasion of Egypt (1798-1801). This history addresses how Egypt’s ecological settings influenced the resistance to the French colonization attempt, and how the French occupation sought to change the ecological settings of Egypt and why. By reconstructing
