Our study examined the chemical composition of fluvial and eolian sediments at the Velika Vrbica multisection, located on the bank of the Danube River in eastern Serbia, within the westernmost part of the lower Danube (Dacian) Basin. The multisection comprises two discrete sections: an older 2.7 m thick fluvial section, and a younger 11.2 m thick loess-paleosol sequence (LPS). These are exposed al

Cutting edge preparation is crucial in metal cutting as the edge geometry significantly influences both the material removal process and tool life. However, an analytical model that can physically describe the cutting edge preparation process has not yet been established. Taking the wet abrasive jet machining (WAJM) method as an example, the following questions always remain: Why does WAJM always

Lysine acetylation, once viewed primarily as a histone mark, is now recognized as a widespread regulator of protein function. Recent breakthroughs in chemical labeling, isotopic tagging workflows, and data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry enable precise, site-specific quantification of acetylation stoichiometry. This quantitative “acetylomics” approach reveals a “rheostat” model, where mo

Multi-electron donation remains a challenge for CO2 photocatalytic conversion to multi-electron products due to the efficient Auger recombination or annihilation at multiple excitation conditions for conventional molecules or semiconductor photocatalysts. In this paper, we demonstrated possible multi-electron donation within a quantum dot (QD)/metal complex hybrid photocatalyst system when multipl

A causal inference framework was developed to investigate crop responses to agricultural drought by integrating meteorological data, Sentinel-2-derived data, and soil property maps. To account for crop rotation, soil, and topographical variables, propensity score matching was employed to estimate drought-induced yield losses at the field level for selected periods. The Plant Phenology Index (PPI)

This is a contribution written for aspiring teachers of religionskundskap. It depicts what it means to grow up as a Buddhist, including reflections on childhood in Buddhist early sources and the childhood of the historical Buddha. It starts out with looking at children growing up among Buddhists and includes, in the end, South Asian Buddhist child monks as well as American and European perspective

Peatlands are vital ecosystems that regulate global carbon storage and hydrology, driven by waterlogged conditions that foster organic matter accumulation. However, disentangling the interactions between climate, hydrology, and tree growth in peatlands remains challenging. To investigate these relationships, we developed a 117-year ring width (RW) chronology (1902–2019) and complementary intra-ann

This interdisciplinary thesis examines the nexus of memory, war, and digitality inthe context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Since 2014, the unfolding Russianwar against Ukraine has epitomised how rapid technological developments haveprofoundly altered the ways in which warfare is depicted, perceived, and waged intoday’s world. These transformations have enabled new forms of engagement withwa

An integrated framework is introduced and applied to assess the health impact of airborne pollution with greater physiological relevance, moving beyond conventional exposure metrics. Measured particle number size distribution data was integrated with a regional respiratory tract deposition fractions to estimate total and alveolar deposited particle surface area concentrations. Land use regression

Responding to recent studies on the reception of Church Fathers, this paper contributes a study of how Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples edited the writings of ps.-Dionysius the Areopagite in Latin. Focusing on how Lefèvre revised the Latin translation by Ambrogio Traversari (1386-1439), I argue that Lefèvre adapted Traversari's text to a new context by aligning the translation with earlier Latin renderin

This volume charts the history of transnational and transatlantic fascism in East Central and Southeastern Europe, a lesser-known phenomenon that occurred throughout the twentieth century into the present.Organizations and individuals in this part of the continent, under the influences of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, conceptualized their own forms of fascism in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. Due

This study provides a simulation-based comparison of two energy storage alternatives, lithium-ion battery storage and a timer controlled domestic hot water (DHW) tank, within a Swedish residential context. The timer strategy explores the use of low-cost thermal storage to reduce electricity costs, especially in light of changing photovoltaic (PV) incentives. Different scenarios are modelled to com

For many years, fascism in East Central and Southeastern Europe remained an overlooked aspect of the history of transnational and transatlantic fascism. This introduction provides a background on how this came to pass and why we should rethink this assumption. The introduction explains how the heterogeneity of East Central and Southeastern European fascism alters the general understanding of Europ
