High spatial resolution and contrast radiography of hydrodynamic instabilities at the National Ignition Facility

We are developing techniques for studying the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instabilities in a planar geometry at high-energy-densities at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). In particular, through the improvement of experimental imaging quality, we are progressing toward the study of the turbulent regime of the mixing regions in capsule implosion experiments for inertial confi

On word order and case in Old Italian past participle constructions

While in Modern Italian, V1 is mandatory in absolute constructions, no such restriction is operative in Old Italian. On the surface, such a fact could be interpreted as a sign of residual V-to-Comp movement in Modern Italian. However, it is not: In Old Italian, participles targeted a position lower than Comp and, hence, the V1 pattern of Modern Italian is an innovation rather than a residue from t

Platform or infrastructure or both at once? : Detangling the two concept's knotty cross-articulations

Introduction. With the ever-increasing presence of digital technology and media, scholars have explored the cross-articulations of infrastructure and platform to investigate the contemporary digital landscape. However, cross-articulations of the two concepts vary according to the empirical setting and focus. The present paper investigates the ways the two concepts relate to each other and their re

A Novel In Vivo Model for Multiplexed Analysis of Callosal Connections upon Cortical Damage

Brain damage is the major cause of permanent disability and it is particularly relevant in the elderly. While most studies focused on the immediate phase of neuronal loss upon injury, much less is known about the process of axonal regeneration after damage. The development of new refined preclinical models to investigate neuronal regeneration and the recovery of brain tissue upon injury is a major

A multilingual parallel corpus approach to time sufficiency expressions in Scandinavian and English

Both the Swedish verb hinna and the Norwegian verb rekke have been shown to encode complex sufficiency meanings involving temporal sufficiency and ability (‘have enough time to be able to do sth’) (Johansson & Nordrum, 2016, 2021), but differ in that hinna always encodes temporal meaning while rekke also has spatial meaning. Interestingly, a third Mainland Scandinavian language, Danish, can al

Welcome to the Matrix - How to find and use your corporate brand's core identity

In this article, I use a broad brush to provide a big picture of a corporate brand, how corporate branding works, and what it takes to manage a corporate brand. In the movie The Matrix, Mr. Anderson is invited to come behind the scenes to see and experience a world beyond the projected image. My article’s title welcomes you to discover and experience a corporate brand’s reality with its opportunit

Whom are you mad at? : Anger and revenge in obsessive-compulsive symptoms during adolescence

Previous research has extensively explored the role of anxiety, disgust, guilt, and shame in obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms, but few studies have investigated anger and associated vengeful motivations, especially during adolescence, when OC symptoms typically onset. This is unfortunate as anger is a key human emotion linked to various aspects of behaviour. Our aim was to explore how anger and

Insights into automation of construction process using parallel-kinematic manipulators

This paper discusses challenges, experiences and lessons learned so far while transforming a masonry build system based mostly on manual labour into a robot automated build system. Our motivation for selection of this masonry process is to try out how robot automation could impact the architects in their design work by providing a tool to directly manipulate wall expression down to individual bric

On the Aggregation of Apolipoprotein A-I

In vivo, apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is commonly found together with lipids in so-called lipoprotein particles. The protein has also been associated with several diseases—such as atherosclerosis and amyloidosis—where insoluble aggregates containing ApoA-I are deposited in various organs or arteries. The deposited ApoA-I has been found in the form of amyloid fibrils, suggesting that amyloid formati

Proof-of-concept : Användingsområden för mixed reality och HoloLens inom sjukvården

Bakgrund och syfteProjektet har initierats för att kunna verifiera och påvisa värde av s.k. Mixed Reality och HoloLens inom sjukvården i Sverige samt den kliniska verksamheten.Det finns enstaka ställen i världen där HoloLens 2 används kliniskt. Region Skåne har identifierat möjligheten att HoloLens 2 kan understötta specialistinvolvering på akutmottagningen och möjlighet för specialistinvolvering

Perceived Housing in Relation to Retirement and Relocation : A Qualitative Interview Study among Older Adults

As people age the home environment becomes increasingly important. Retirement commonly leads to spending more time in one’s home, and relocating from your own home in older age could be associated with reduced health or wellbeing. The relationship between home and person is complex and perceived aspects of one’s housing such as social, emotional and cognitive ties are considered important factors

Atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke and TIA patients in the nordic atrial fibrillation and stroke The Nordic Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke (NOR-FIB) Study : Main results

Introduction: Secondary stroke prevention depends on proper identification of the underlying etiology and initiation of optimal treatment after the index event. The aim of the NOR-FIB study was to detect and quantify underlying atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS) or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) using insertable cardiac monitor (ICM), to optimise secondary preventi

Interventionsforskning som en dialog mellan intellectus och ratio

När vi söker kunskap rör vi oss längs horisonter av icke-vetande. I en sådan bildningsresa slår vi i det här kapitlet följe med filosofen Jonna Bornemark. Den sociala barnavården är ett fält där alltmer kunskap bildas. Men hur går det till? Den här texten handlar om kunskapssökande inom socialt arbete, närmare bestämt familjehemsvård. Att söka kunskap är att göra en mängd val och överväganden. Med

COVID-19 Modeling Outcome versus Reality in Sweden

It has been very difficult to predict the development of the COVID-19 pandemic based on mathematical models for the spread of infectious diseases, and due to major non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs), it is still unclear to what extent the models would have fit reality in a “do nothing” scenario. To shed light on this question, the case of Sweden during the time frame from autumn 2020 to spri

Dissecting platelet proteomics to understand the pathophysiology of immune thrombocytopenia : studies in mouse models

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by enhanced platelet clearance and defective platelet production. Diagnosis by exclusion and trial-and-error treatment strategies is common practice, and despite the advancement in treatment options, many patients remain refractory. Although the existence of different pathophysiological entities is acknowledged, we are still far

Platelet EVs contain an active proteasome involved in protein processing for antigen presentation via MHC-I molecules

In addition to their hemostatic role, platelets play a significant role in immunity. Once activated, platelets release extracellular vesicles (EVs) formed by the budding of their cytoplasmic membranes. Because of their heterogeneity, platelet EVs (PEVs) are thought to perform diverse functions. It is unknown, however, whether the proteasome is transferred from platelets to PEVs or whether its func

Transfusion-related Acute Lung Injury in the Perioperative Patient

Transfusion-related acute lung injury is a leading cause of death associated with the use of blood products. Transfusion-related acute lung injury is a diagnosis of exclusion which can be difficult to identify during surgery amid the various physiologic and pathophysiologic changes associated with the perioperative period. As anesthesiologists supervise delivery of a large portion of inpatient pre

Organic matter composition and greenhouse gas production of thawing subsea permafrost in the Laptev Sea

Subsea permafrost represents a large carbon pool that might be or become a significant greenhouse gas source. Scarcity of observational data causes large uncertainties. We here use five 21-56 m long subsea permafrost cores from the Laptev Sea to constrain organic carbon (OC) storage and sources, degradation state and potential greenhouse gas production upon thaw. Grain sizes, optically-stimulated
