After the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, a radio station was the first to inform the public about the terrible incident. It was the Tokyo radio which said that “practically all living things, human and animal, were literally seared to death,”Functioning site-specifically and drawing upon the architectural structure of the building, the installations explore the relationship between sound and space b

Abstract: Intraspecific color variation is often associated with camouflage or protection, but melanin-based color variation is also linked to behavioral and physiological aspects including boldness. In the melanin-based plumage color polymorphic tawny owl (Strix aluco), the grey morph is known to be more cryptic than the brown morph. Using 19 captive tawny owls (11 grey and 8 brown), we tested if

The dialogical self is conceptualized as a dynamically shifting collection of relatively autonomous I-positions. A boundary experience is an event or situation where tension experienced between conflicting I-positions leads to reconfiguration within the dialogical self. In a boundary experience, uncertainty or a challenge can trigger decentering (centrifugal) movements which can disrupt the self’s

In this paper, we study total and differential observables of electro- and photoproduction of light ρ , ω and ϕ mesons as functions of the center-of-mass energy of the γp collision and momentum transfer squared |t|. The corresponding vector mesons wave functions have been computed in the framework of relativistic AdS/QCD holographic approach. A satisfactory description of all available data on gro

Film screening of 'Print more newspapers' at Sharjah Film Festival, United Arab Emirates. Print more newspapers:This work is inspired by the necessity of linking the unconscious procedures that take place in our mind and the mechanical procedures that are also present in industrial processes. It explores the different stages of a big manufacturing system, which are essential to form a whole and th

The hippocampus is one of the most challenging brain regions for proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) applications. Moreover, quantification of J-coupled species such as myo-inositol (m-Ins) and glutamate + glutamine (Glx) is affected by the presence of macromolecular background. While long echo time (TE) MRS eliminates the macromolecules, it also decreases the m-Ins and Glx signal and, as a result, these

The world needs rapid transformation if we are to shift towards more just and regenerative socio-ecological futures. In merging scholarly fields of transformation studies, regeneration and ethics of care this thesis explores the connection between inner-outer regeneration through the in-depth study of a transformative caring process. With a focus on lived experience and affects, this study conduct

Central aspects of emotional experiences are often well remembered at the expense of background details. Previous studies of such memory trade-offs have focused on memory after brief delays, but little is known about how these components of emotional memories change over time. We investigated the evolution of memory for negative scenes across 30 min, 12 daytime hours spent awake, and 12 nighttime

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) offers a growing variety of methods for querying potential diagnostic biomarkers of multiple sclerosis in living central nervous system tissue. For the past three decades, 1H-MRS has enabled the acquisition of a rich dataset suggestive of numerous metabolic alterations in lesions, normal-appearing white matter, gray matter, and spinal cord of individ

Hard-to-reach (HTR) energy users encompass individuals who are physically difficult to reach, underserved, or challenging to engage and motivate in demand-side energy programmes. Given a mix of societal challenges (e.g. inequity, energy poverty, decarbonisation, the COVID-19 pandemic), HTR energy users are receiving increasing attention. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the performance of

This report compiles the findings of two business experiment surveys, conducted under CIRCUSOL Task 2.4. The experiments investigated customer preferences for two relatively novel market segments for circular photovoltaics, specifically (1) solar-powered charging stations for shared micro-mobility services, and (2) PV-systems for home-charging of electric vehicles. The experiments used the method

Approximately one-third of the food produced globally is spoiled or wasted in the food supply chain (FSC). Essentially, it is lost before it even reaches the end consumer. Conventional methods of food waste tracking relying on paper-based logs to collect and analyse the data are costly, laborious, and time-consuming. Hence, an automated and real-time system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) co

Artikel på danska om skandalen när kung Valdemar av Sverige blev förälskad i sin svägerska Jutta av Danmark.Historien om en svensk konge og en dansk prinsesse, hvis forelskelse i hinanden var med til at udløse borgerkrigen, der rev Sverige i stykker

Little is known about long-term quality of life (QOL) and functional status after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). We investigated QOL and functional status late after PEA. All patients who underwent PEA for CTEPH 1993–2020 at one Swedish center were included. Baseline characteristics and data from right heart catheterization, 6-min walk tes

The dramatic increase of asylum seekers entering the EU in 2015 profoundly changed migration politics in many EU countries. Not least in Sweden which accepted more migrants per capita than any other EU country but then swung abruptly to become among the strictest recipient countries. We use Sweden as a critical and extreme case to argue that the rapid shift in asylum politics and public opinion to

Purpose: Reduction in iodinated contrast medium (CM) dose is highly motivated. Our aim was to evaluate if a 50% reduction of CM, while preserving image quality, is possible in brain CT angiography (CTA) using virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) on spectral CT. As a secondary aim, we evaluated if VMI can salvage examinations with suboptimal CM timing. Methods: Consecutive patients older than 18 year

Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology has become increasingly important in the field of wireless communication due to its ability to highly increase the capacity and efficiency of wireless networks [1]. Beamforming, as a technique used in MU-MIMO systems, improves network performance by improving signal quality and reducing interference. With the emergence of 5G and beyond
