Through stars, the formation and evolution of the Galaxy goes hand-in-hand with the cosmic origin of the elements. As stars form, they carry chemical fingerprints of their birthclouds, providing us with chemical timestamps of the Galaxy.The detailed history of the Galactic disk and bulge is still to be untagled. The same goes for the origin of elements – where some still have elusive origins. Dise

Increasing the amount of renewable generation in distribution networks is a fundamental part of the energy transition. Multiple methods exist to increase the hosting capacity in a grid, to allow larger injections of generation and more efficiently utilize existing infrastructure before operational limits are breached. In this thesis, the method studied for this is network reconfiguration. Many dis

Bone mineralization involves a complex orchestration of physico-chemical responses from the organism. Despite extensive studies, the detailed mechanisms of mineralization remain to be elucidated. This study aims to characterize bone mineralization using an in-vivo long bone fracture healing model in the rat. The spatio-temporal distribution of relevant elements was correlated to the deposition and

M.P.T. Acharya (1887–1954) was a contemporary and critic of Mohandas Gandhi during the Indian Independence Movement. A lifetime of anticolonial struggle led him to embrace anarchism and he saw tremendous revolutionary potential the practice of nonviolent direct action. A transnational figure, Acharya engaged in anticolonial activism across India, Europe, the United States, and Russia. He was also

ObjectiveThe relationships between carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) and β cell function and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have not been fully elucidated. This study is to investigate whether impaired glucose metabolism is etiologically associated with C-IMT in patients with T2D.MethodsThe study group consisted of 490 (284 men, 206 women) participants. Venous blood

Internal communication is becoming increasingly digital. This chapter deals with how digital internal communication can be understood and discusses the implications of the digitalization of internal communication for organizations and organizing. It reviews previous definitions of internal communication and digitalization and proposes a definition of digital internal communication. It reviews prev

Real-time measurement of soil water content (θ) and pore electrical conductivity (ECp) is essential to improve water irriga-tion efficiency and agricultural productivity. Low-cost frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) sensors are now representinga powerful tool for irrigation management purposes. However, compared to the time domain reflectometry (TDR), FDRsensors’ accuracy to predict θ and ECp is

The paper examines the entries of 36 words for common animal sounds in two online English dictionaries, Cambridge Dictionaries and The Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, to see what information is provided in the entries. Previous work on English dictionaries has focused on meaning explanations of referential, arbitrary words. With the examination of onomatopoeic words for animal sounds, this paper e

This article examines the British anarchist Guy Aldred’s involvement in the Indian revolutionary movement from 1909 to 1914 in order to reflect on solidarities and antagonisms between anarchism and anti-colonial movements in the early twentieth century. Drawing on Aldred’s writings, court material and intelligence reports, it explores, first, his decision to print the suppressed Indian nationalist

Focusing on the period from 1870 to 1960, this chapter provides an overview of anarchist approaches to anti-imperialism, offering examples of collaborations, solidarities, antagonisms and syntheses between anarchists and anti-colonialists from across the British, Spanish, French and Portuguese colonial worlds and within the imperial metropoles in Europe. Alongside anti-colonial resistances to thes

A collection of essays from a diverse group of writers originally published in the Dutch anti-militarist journal, "De Wapens Neder" (1935). Through their writing, these anarchist and socialist writers from Europe, Algeria, India, Japan, and the United States connected the struggles against fascism and imperialism in East Asia and Europe with anti-colonial struggles in India and Africa and the Afri

A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was succes

Despite the recent experimental and theoretical progress in the investigation of the nuclear fission process, a complete description still represents a challenge in nuclear physics because it is a very complex dynamical process, whose description involves the coupling between intrinsic and collective degrees of freedom, as well as different quantum-mechanical phenomena. To improve on the existing

Background: SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination has been associated with both side effects and a reduction in COVID-related complaints due to the decrease in COVID-19 incidence. We aimed to investigate if individuals who received three doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines had a lower incidence of (a) medical complaints and (b) COVID-19-related medical complaints, both as seen in primary care, when compared t

Malaria är världens dödligaste parasitsjukdom som årligen drabbar nästan 250 miljoner människor, varav 95% av fallen sker i Subsahariska Afrika. Över en halv miljon människor dör till följd av malaria varje år där majoriteten av dem är barn. Sjukdomen sprids av myggor som är infekterade av encelliga parasiter av släktet Plasmodium. Det finns fem Plasmodium-arter som kan smitta människor, varav P. The widespread and infectious disease malaria is still prevalent and endemic in many countries around the equator. The treatment and prevention of malaria is hampered by the rapid development of resistance in parasites against antimalarial drugs. In recent years, metal derivatives of chloroquine, the previously dominant antimalaria drug, have been studied as alternatives to overcome the resistance

Narratives of the Indian revolutionary movement in exile have often focused on abstract notions of ‘London’—with a particular focus on ‘India House’ in Highgate—or ‘Paris’ without taking into account specific geographies of Indian anti-colonialism within these imperial metropoles. Drawing on addresses provided in intelligence reports, this article takes a spatial approach and explores how particul
