“Have we lost a part of our soul … [to] the result on the bottom line”? Reconfiguring professional spaces and the development of lawyers’ pro bono work as a professional project in Denmark

Danish lawyers have long positioned themselves as fundamental pillars of the Rechtsstaat, portraying their independence and adherence to professional ideals as central to serving the public good. However, this traditional image has been increasingly challenged by the rise of large law firms taking advantage of deregulation and globalization. This has placed lawyers under a cross-pressure forcing t

Space, but not rocket science : a framework for capacity utilization in physical distribution

High capacity utilization of space in physical distribution, such as high fill rates of vehicles, pallets, and packaging, is essential to decarbonize supply chains. This study provides an integrated view of the extant literature on capacity utilization of space in physical distribution, which is fragmented and multidisciplinary. A systematic literature review was conducted on 212 peer-reviewed sci

A Study in Additive Manufacturing of Windings for Traction Machines

This work presents a literature study over how additive manufacturing can be used to improve the performance of windings for traction machines when it comes to materials, loss minimization and thermal management, especially for concentrated windings. It continues to present the additive manufacturing methods most suitable for additively manufacturing windings. The lessons from manufacturing coils

PM-less machine topologies for EV traction: A literature review

This literature review presents a summary of recent research about PM-less machines for electrical vehicles. Recently, IPM machines has proven to be very popular among electrical vehicle manufacturers. However, the neodymium permanent magnets being used are expensive and have a risk of rocketing the production cost of a machine if the price increases more. With this in mind, five PM-less machine t

Full electric farming with on-field energy replenishment

The transition of heavy machinery systems in agriculture is becoming increasingly urgent due to evolving regulations, market volatility in fossil fuels, and the imperative to achieve decarbonization objectives in the sector. Agricultural machinery has recently experienced an increase in automation, resulting in a higher implementation of electric actuators and systems in agricultural machinery. Th

No title

Since the fall of 2017, when it was brought to the public debate, gender-inclusive writing has sparked passionate reactions. The debates generated by this linguistic practice are divisive and the discussion on certain aspects, such as the so called midpoint, is paralysed. Many arguments are mobilised by opponents, such as the unreadability of gender-inclusive writing, or the absence of ambiguity i

Psychometric Properties of the Swedish Version of the Person-Place Fit Measure for Older Adults

Background and Purpose: Possibilities to age in place are increasingly important with the demographic shift toward aging populations. With the Person-Place Fit Measure for Older Adults (PPFM-OA), older adults self-assess how their home and community environments suit their needs. The aim of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of PPFM-OA. Methods: Four hund

Coming to terms with the empowerment-complicity tension in social entrepreneurship

Despite their emancipatory aspirations, collective entrepreneurial efforts to change organizations bottom-up are often complicit with the power structures they seek to transform. Our study takes a closer look at how workers experience and deal with the tensions between emancipation and complicity and how this can inform the entrepreneurial process. Empirically, we draw from a qualitative single-ca

Working beyond neoliberalism: Organizing alternativity through an ethics of care

The urgency to reimagine neoliberal capitalism challenges scholars to explore how we can organize alternatively. In this paper, we argue that a feminist ethics of care, which stresses our fundamental interdependence and responsibility to particular others, provides a novel relational understanding of the organization and maintenance of alternativity. Relying on an ethnography of a campaign and con

Drug company methodologies used for reporting in the UK pharmaceutical industry payment transparency database between 2015 and 2019 : A content analysis

Pharmaceutical companies spend hundreds of millions of pounds on marketing/R&D-related payments annually to healthcare organisations and healthcare professionals. UK pharmaceutical industry self-regulatory bodies require member companies who sign up to their code of conduct to publish details of their payments. They are also required to publish the methodologies underlying these payments, name

FuseRank (Demo) : Filtered Vector Search in Multimodal Structured Data

We describe and demonstrate our work on multimodal filtered vector search in tabular data. It offers a practical way for businesses to vectorize their product assortments or any other business-critical data and then simultaneously retrieve and filter this information using state-of-the-art similarity search. Our methodology is based on the extended vector space model, with multiple modalities repr

Safe to save blood in ovarian cancer surgery : time to change transfusion habits

Background: Patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) undergoing surgery are often subjected to red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. Both anemia and RBC transfusion are associated with increased morbidity. The aim was to evaluate patient recovery after the implementation of patient blood management (PBM) strategies.Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 354 patients with AOC undergoing

Force-based semantic representation and estimation of feature points for robotic cable manipulation with environmental contacts

This work demonstrates the utility of dual-arm robots with dual-wrist force-torque sensors in manipulating a Deformable Linear Object (DLO) within an unknown environment that imposes constraints on the DLO’s movement through contacts and fixtures. We propose a strategy to estimate the pose of unknown environmental contacts encountered during the manipulation of a DLO, classifying the induced const

The Great Escape - Investigating Complement Evasion Mechanisms in Pathogenic Bacteria

The complement system, a crucial part of the innate immune system, protects the human body during bacterial infections. Complement comprises three pathways, classical, lectin, and alternative, which activate as a protein cascade. Activation of these pathways leads to the opsonization of pathogens with C3 fragments for phagocytosis, chemotaxis of phagocytes to the infection site, and deposition of

Online Raman spectroscopy for quantitative detection and characterization of aerosolized soot

Ex-situ Raman spectroscopy is a well-established method for the structural characterization of soot but necessitates a sampling step before analysis is made. This work studied the potential to perform Raman spectroscopic measurements of soot directly in the combustion exhaust gases, i.e., online Raman measurements. Two types of soot were produced from a Mini-CAST soot generator, one immature with

Evaluation of enhanced permeability effect and different linear energy transfer of radionuclides in a prostate cancer xenograft model

We have previously investigated the biodistribution and therapy effect of a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting free prostate-specific antigen (fPSA) intended for theranostics of hormone-refractory prostate cancer. In the present study, we evaluated the off-target effect and different linear energy transfer (LET) radionuclides without the effect of PSA targeting by using an antibody with the s

Transition Layer Assisted Synthesis of Defect Free Amine-Phosphine Based InP QDs

Environmentally friendly InP-based quantum dots (QDs) are promising for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and display applications. So far, the synthesis of highly emitting InP-based QDs via safe and economically viable amine-phosphine remains a challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of amine-phosphine based InP/ZnSe/ZnS QDs by introducing an alloyed oxidation-free In-ZnSe transition layer (TL) at

mRNA therapy corrects defective glutathione metabolism and restores ureagenesis in preclinical argininosuccinic aciduria

The urea cycle enzyme argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) enables the clearance of neurotoxic ammonia and the biosynthesis of arginine. Patients with ASL deficiency present with argininosuccinic aciduria, an inherited metabolic disease with hyperammonemia and a systemic phenotype coinciding with neurocognitive impairment and chronic liver disease. Here, we describe the dysregulation of glutathione biosy
