Metataxonomic analysis of halophilic archaea community in two geothermal oases in the southern Tunisian Sahara

This study assesses halophilic archaea's phylogenetic diversity in southern Tunisia's geothermal water. In the arid southern regions, limited surface freshwater resources make geothermal waters a vital source for oases and greenhouse irrigation. Three samples, including water, sediment, and halite-soil crust, were collected downstream of two geothermal springs of the Ksar Ghilane (KGH) and Zaouet

Origins of the knowledge economy : Higher education and Scandinavia’s development, ca. 1800–1929

However, with economic growth and rising technical complexity, the need for specialised knowledge and skills increased. In the run-up to and during industrialisation, higher education systems admitted a growing number of students and diversified across an increasing range of courses and types of educational institutions.Denmark,

Heritage Languages in Europe

Definitions of heritage languages include the languages of migrant, indigenous, and national minorities. This chapter is concerned with migrant minorities. The EU is generally pictured as valuing multilingualism, as reflected by EU policies and citizen’s attitudes. Nevertheless, when Europeans think and speak about protecting multilingualism, they do not necessarily have migrant languages in mind,

3L1 Acquisition : Three first languages during early childhood

This chapter is concerned with 3L1 acquisition (early trilingualism; i.e., the development of three languages during early childhood). This is a methodologically challenging and understudied topic, most typically focussing on children with two home languages that are both different from the language of the wider community. The available research on lexicon, syntax, and phonology shows that triling

Low-dose tamoxifen treatment reduces collagen organisation indicative of tissue stiffness in the normal breast : results from the KARISMA randomised controlled trial

Background: Tissue stiffness, dictated by organisation of interstitial fibrillar collagens, increases breast cancer risk and contributes to cancer progression. Tamoxifen is a standard treatment for receptor-positive breast cancer and is also aproved for primary prevention. We investigated the effect of tamoxifen and its main metabolites on the breast tissue collagen organisation as a proxy for sti
