Seeing a speaker’s face can facilitate speech comprehension, but the magnitude of this effect depends on the visual salience of speech sounds. Visual salience has traditionally been defined through descriptions of speakers’ articulatory gestures using discrete binary features. We examined which contrasts among Swedish long vowels are visually different and whether these align with traditional bina

This study investigates how γ-tubulin and the centrosome contribute to interphase centromere dynamics and nuclear organization. Although classically associated with mitotic microtubule nucleation, here we show that γ-tubulin associates with chromatin and is enriched within centromere defined volumes. Using live-cell imaging, immunofluorescence, and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, we deteThis study investigates how γ-tubulin and the centrosome contribute to interphase centromere dynamics and nuclear organization.

This thesis examines the history of sovereignty in Central Europe, focusing on the case of Czechoslovakia and its two successor states, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It covers the period between Czechoslovakia’s founding in 1918 and the so-called European migration “crisis” in 2015-2016. The thesis asks how these states’ sovereignty was conditioned, contested, violated and reproduced through inThis thesis examines the history of sovereignty in Central Europe, focusing on the case of Czechoslovakia and its two successor states, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

This paper examines the emergence of a new culture of objectivity. Building on and extending Daston and Galison's framework of epistemic virtues, we show how contemporary archaeological practice is developing a form of objectivity that incorporates manipulability, navigability, and relationality without abandoning scientific representation. Drawing on multi-year fieldwork with archaeologists and o

The Iranian economy and politics remain a topic of debate among Marxist scholars. The existing literature mostly splits into two camps: one blames economic struggles primarily on external pressures like imperialist interference and sanctions, while the other downplays external influences and emphasizes the human toll of brutal repression under a neoliberal regime of accumulation. Neither, however,

OBJECTIVE: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a lifelong, early-onset disability characterized by heterogeneous functional impairments and comorbidities that may influence reproductive outcomes. Population-based evidence on having given birth among women with CP remains limited. We investigated differences in having given birth between women with CP and matched controls, and assessed the role of disability-re

BackgroundPhysical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep are three behaviours which occupy the 24-h cycle and interact to influence a multitude of health outcomes. Different terms are currently used to describe these behaviours collectively (e.g., movement behaviours or physical behaviours). The lack of clear and consistent terminology makes it hard to compare, interpret, and build on research

With news media being key players shaping perceptions and reactions to international actors and events, this study investigates the contribution of influential US newspapers to narrating Ukraine’s cultural and historic heritage impacted by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia. This inquiry addresses the problem of securitization, operationalized as threats to societal and human security (U

Localization is fundamental in many applications, including autonomous driving, robotics, emergency services, and wireless communication systems. The achievable localization accuracy depends on the information provided by the measurements, which is shaped by sensor placement, spatial resolution, sampling rate, synchronization accuracy, calibration, noise levels, and environmental effects such as m

We report the AC electric field-induced directed assembly of 10 mol% crosslinked ionic microgels at various effective volume fractions, investigated using confocal microscopy and small-angle neutron scattering. At low effective volume fractions, in an electric field, the microgels form strings, tubes, and islands of body-centered-tetragonal structures. While tubular structures have previously been

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is characterized by restrictive eating associated with weight and shape concerns, whereas avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is not. Evidence supports an association between AN and autism, and emerging data suggest a similar overlap between ARFID and autism. However, long-term data on autistic eating behaviours in these groups remain scarce. This st

Attachment schemas, shaped by relational experiences in infancy and early childhood, encode core beliefs about the self, close others, and relationship dynamics, guiding expectations of support in times of distress. While extensive research has documented attachment-related biases in cognition, evidence for their neural correlates remains limited. In this ERP study, we examined neural activity lin
