Commodifying Danish housing commons

Housing was a backbone of the Danish welfare state, but this has been profoundly challenged by the past decades of neoliberal housing politics. In this article we outline the rise of the Danish model of association-based housing on the edge of the market economy (and the state). From this, we demonstrate how homes in private cooperatives through political interventions in the context of a booming

Derivation-Invariant Subspaces of C∞

Let $C^\infty(a,b)$ be the Fr\'echet space of all complex-valued infinitely differentiable functions on a (finite or infinite) interval $(a,b)\subset\mathbb{R}$. Let ${L\subset C^\infty(a,b)}$ be a closed subspace such that $DL\subset L$, where $D=\frac{d}{dx}$. Then the spectrum $\sigma_L$ of $D$ on $L$ is either the whole complex plane, or a discrete possibly void set of eigenvalues $\lambda$, e

Measurements of high pt identified particles v1 and v2 in sqrt(s) = 200GeV Au-Au collisions

The v2 and v4 of pions, kaons and protons have been measured by PHENIX in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions up to pT ~ 6 GeV/c and 4 GeV/c, respectively. The v4 of all these identified particles have been found to scale with the number of constituent quarks and all these particles have a similar v4/v22 ratio which is close to 0.9. The scaling behavior of v2 is studied at high pT and a deviation from the un

Governing the transition to low-carbon futures: A critical survey of energy scenarios for 2050

There is a growing scientific consensus that limiting the increase in global average temperature to around 2 C above pre-industrial levels is necessary to avoid unacceptable impact on the climate system. This requires that the developed countries' emissions are radically reduced during the next 40 years. Energy scenario studies provide insights on the societal transitions that might be implied by

Blueberry Husks and Probiotics Attenuate Colorectal Inflammation and Oncogenesis, and Liver Injuries in Rats Exposed to Cycling DSS-Treatment.

Long-term colonic inflammation promotes carcinogenesis and histological abnormalities of the liver, and colorectal tumours frequently arise in a background of dysplasia, a precursor of adenomas. Altered colonic microbiota with an increased proportion of bacteria with pro-inflammatory characteristics, have been implicated in neoplastic progression. The composition of the microbiota can be modified

Trinorsesquiterpenoids from the Root Extract of Pentalinon andrieuxii

Two unusual trinorsesquiterpenoids, urechitols A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the root extract of Pentalinon andrieuxii, a plant used commonly in Yucatecan traditional medicine to treat leishmaniasis. The structures of I and 2 were identified by interpretation of their spectroscopic data and chemical correlation reactions. The relative stereochemistry of I was confirmed through an X-ray cryst

Synthesis of poinsettifolin A

A synthesis of poinsettifolin A (1), a prenylated flavonol isolated from Dorstenia poinsettifolia, is described. Two routes starting from quercetin were explored, and 1 could be prepared if a prenyl group first was incorporated at C-6 of the protected quercetin followed by a condensation with citral at C-8. The key synthetic steps are a Mitsunobu reaction, an europium (III)-catalysed Claisen rearr

Stability and mobility of vacancy-H complexes in Al

The effect of hydrogen loading on the stability and mobility of vacancy-H complexes in aluminum is determined by applying DFT and the minimum-mode-following method. The binding energy per H-atom within a complex is found to range from -0.36 eV/atom to -0.34 eV/atom for an occupancy of, respectively, a single and eight H-atoms. When eight H-atoms are neighboring the vacancy the total binding energy

LIVING WITH CHILDHOOD CANCER - Family Members’ Experiences and Needs

The overall aim of this thesis was to elucidate family members’ lived experiences and needs during a child’s cancer trajectory and to describe how the illness and its treatment influence both individuals within the family and the family as a whole. Seventeen families with a child under the age of 13 and newly diagnosed with cancer were followed during the child’s treatment trajectory by means of i

Structural and Functional Studies of Chagasin, a Parasite Protease Inhibitor

The cysteine proteases are enzymes found in every kingdom of life. Clan CA is the largest of the cysteine protease clans, with members all displaying a Cys/His/Asn(Asp) catalytic triad responsible for hydrolysing the peptide bond within the substrate. To regulate the activity of the proteases, another group of proteins act as natural inhibitors (cysteine protease inhibitors) and bind to the protea

n Appraisal of the use of Hydrogen-Isotope Methods to Delineate Origins of Migratory Saw-Whet Owls in North America

Northern Saw-whet Owls (Aegolius acadicus) breed throughout the boreal forest of North America, but little is known about their population trends or distribution within this region. Analysis of stable hydrogen isotopes (delta H-2) in feathers can delineate origins of a variety of avian migrants, but raptors are reported to have high infra-feather isotopic variance and mean delta H-2 values higher

Relating genes in the biosynthesis of the polyphenol composition of Andean colored potato collection.

The objective of this study was to evaluate total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total phenolic content (TPH), and the identification of anthocyanidin and polyphenolic compounds in 13 colored potatoes collected from the Andean region of Bolivia, and understand how the chemical composition correlated with the botanical classification and molecular characterization of genes, ans (anthocyanidin synthase

Stable lead (Pb) isotopes and concentrations - A useful independent dating tool for Baltic Sea sediments

The prehistory of the Baltic Sea has for a long time suffered from imprecise dating, due to the large uncertainties associated with bulk radiocarbon dating of Baltic Sea sediments. To constrain the timing of environmental changes in the Baltic Sea it is critical to apply new dating approaches. This study identifies lead pollution isochrones in Baltic Sea sediments, which have previously been recor

Contradictions of Sustainable Mobility - The Illogic of Growth and the Logic of Myth

This paper presents the prospects of viewing sustainable mobility as a merger of seemingly opposing values and ideas into a coherent and fully emplotted myth. Myth, in this sense, is not a false story meant to amuse or discredit, but rather a story based on naturalised beliefs giving it the supremacy of the obvious. Through the process of emplotment, myths create internal logics that help relieve
