Norway is one of the best countries in the world when it comes to gender equality, ranking in second place only behind Iceland in the 2018 Global Gender Gap Report. The film industry, however, is and has always been dominated by men, and change in this field has been quite slow—at least until the last decade. Operating in a small country, with 5.3 million inhabitants in 2019, the industry is depen

We present a unifying theory to explain cancer recurrence, therapeutic resistance, and lethality. The basis of this theory is the formation of simultaneously polyploid and aneuploid cancer cells, polyaneuploid cancer cells (PACCs), that avoid the toxic effects of systemic therapy by entering a state of cell cycle arrest. The theory is independent of which of the classically associated oncogenic mu

In this paper we investigate the specific mechanisms of British financial influence in the Cape Colony during the diamond mining boom of the late nineteenth century. We do so by offering a detailed exposition of the uneasy marriage between the colonial state and private business sector in the context of the economics and dynamics of extractivism in the periphery. This allows us to encapsulate the

Gambella is one of the regional states in Ethiopia where huge tracts of land have been leased out to domestic and international investors since the global food, fuel and financial crisis of 2007/2008. The Gambella region is also one of the most marginalized regions in Ethiopia. It has been alienated from the central politics and socio-economic activities of the state. In the past, the Gambella reg

Holocene geomagnetic field models are used to study processes in Earth's core, millennial scale variations in solar activity and to relatively date geological and archaeological archives. Constructing models from magnetic field directions and intensities stored in archaeological artefacts, igneous rocks and sediment records is challenging due to the sparse data distribution and the large chronolog

Background: Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes may have higher subsequent risk of chronic kidney disease, but the long-term independent risks and potential causality are unclear. Objective: This study aimed to determine long-term risks of chronic kidney disease associated with 5 major adverse pregnancy outcomes in a large population-based cohort, and to assess for familial confounding using co-

This study reviews literature on the aspects of material selection within the field of industrial design education, specifically focusing on existing material selection tools and guidelines used in industrial design education. The growing number of materials available today has created a large variety of options for industrial designers, which they are ill-equipped to handle. A key reason behind t
