Cultural and academic institutions have been in crisis for quite some time now. In many cases, they still refer to a canon that has been made obsolete by global developments – in particular, by new voices from the Global South. Their modes of knowledge production operate within disciplinary bounds that can no longer cope with the Anthropocene’s radical processes of change, and their self-referenti
Can knowledge be simultaneously locally situated and globally relevant? How is it possible to approach knowledge as a collective practice through the modes of action that produce it, rather than through a hegemonic point of reference? What trajectories of knowledge are produced by situated, militant or emergent practices? The New Alphabet School is an experimental model of collective study that ex
Adipocyte dysfunction is a crucial driver of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. We identified EH domain-containing protein 2 (EHD2) as one of the most highly upregulated genes at the early stage of adipose tissue expansion. EHD2 is a dynamin-related ATPase influencing several cellular processes, including membrane recycling, caveolae dynamics and lipid metabolism. Here, we investigated the ro
Adipocyte dysfunction is a hallmark of systemic insulin resistance. Insulin-responsive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) is downregulated in the insulin resistant state, and cellular insulin responsiveness varies depending on fat-depot origin and degree of adipose expansion. Here, we have resolved factors limiting cellular insulin responsiveness, by examining adipocyte function and traits related to g
Iran är inget normalt land som man kan åka på besök till utan att utsätta sig för stora risker. Dess regim följer inte vanliga lagar, skriver sex debattörer med iransk bakgrund.Iran is not a normal country that you can visit without exposing yourself to great risks. Its regime does not follow ordinary laws, write six debaters with an Iranian background.
Background and Purpose: In recent years, the treatment landscape for breast cancer has undergone significant advancements, with the introduction of several new anticancer agents. One such agent is trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), an antibody drug conjugate that has shown improved outcomes in both early and advanced breast cancer. However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive evidence regarding
The degree of inequality in a society may be harmful to individual health, regardless of wheresomeone is located in the income ladder. An underlying assumption in the literature is thatthere is an instant link between income inequality and individual health and most studiesconsider a contemporary correlation, assessing inequality and health just about the same pointin time. Moreover, research is l
Increasingly, buildings are becoming complex “systems of systems” with many materials and attributes combining to create a whole that aims to meet a variety of design objectives including but not limited to functionality, aesthetic appeal, sustainability, safety, and security. We are now seeing this complexity move from commercial buildings and iconic structures to encompass even the residential s
Galectins play biological roles in immune regulation and tumor progression. Ligands with high affinity for the shallow, hydrophilic galectin-3 ligand binding site rely primarily on a galactose core with appended aryltriazole moieties, making hydrophobic interactions and π-stacking. We designed and synthesized phenyl sulfone, sulfoxide, and sulfide-triazolyl thiogalactoside derivatives to create af
Previous work has shown that exposure to auditory white noise (WN) can improve cognitive performance in children with ADHD, but it is unknown whether this improvement generalizes to other sensory modalities. To address this knowledge gap, we tested the effect of Stochastic Vestibular Stimulation (SVS) on cognitive performance and reaction time (RT) variability in two groups: children with ADHD and
In extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy, the photoionization process occurring in a molecule due to the absorption of a single photon can trigger an ultrafast nuclear motion in the cation. Taking advantage of attosecond photoelectron interferometry, where the absorption of the extreme ultraviolet photon is accompanied by the exchange of an additional infrared quantum of light, one can investigate the
Nanoplastics (NPs) originated from plastic residues can interact with soil microorganisms with potential negative effects to their functions. Therefore, I aimed to investigate soil microbial population dynamics when exposed to different NP polymers and concentrations. I used microfluidics technology to produce a soil micromodel – a soil chip - comprising basic pore geometries where microorganisms
