This presentation focuses on a project at an early stage of development. The aim of the practice lab project is twofold: (i) to strengthen the competence among students in higher music education with regards to the topic of practice, and (ii) contribute to research on musical practice and skill acquisition. The project is conducted at Malmö Academy of Music (Lund university). Students take part in

BackgroundAlkylresorcinols are a well-established biomarker for whole grain intake. There is evidence suggesting that total plasma alkylresorcinol concentration may also be used as a biomarker for gluten intake in adults.ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate if total alkylresorcinol concentration is a valid biomarker for gluten intake in young children.MethodsNon-fasting plasma alkylresorc

Post-compression of ultra-short laser pulses via self-phase modulation is routinely employed for the generation of laser pulses with optical bandwidths reaching far beyond the laser gain limitations. Although high compression factors can be routinely achieved, the compressed pulses typically suffer from temporal quality degradation. We numerically and experimentally analyze the deterioration of di

Disability scholars have recently proposed that republican theory is relevant to think about justice in relation to disability. Following in their footsteps, this article submits that the republican conception of freedom as non-domination provides a fresh angle to legitimise disability rights in terms of justice and prevent their interpretation as charity or privileges. This proposition takes its

Focusing on forest policy and urban climate politics in Brazil and Indonesia, the primary objective of this chapter is to identify domestic pioneers and leaders who, compared to other sectors, governmental levels or jurisdictions within the same nation-state, move ‘ahead of the troops’ (Liefferink and Wurzel, 2017: 2-3). The chapter focuses especially on the role of multilevel governance in bringi

This chapter is devoted to introducing degrowth to anyone interested in environmental politics and making connections between the two areas. It articulates critiques of growth, alternatives associated with degrowth and the politics of pursuing them. It is argued that economic growth, with GDP being its key indicator, comes with environmental degradation and is rooted in injustices. Degrowth schola

Several publications describing high-resolution structures of amyloid-β (Aβ) and other fibrils have demonstrated that magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy is an ideal tool for studying amyloids at atomic resolution. Nonetheless, MAS NMR suffers from low sensitivity, requiring relatively large amounts of samples and extensive signal acquisition periods, which in turn limits the questions tha

This study investigates speech production under various room acoustic conditions in virtual environments, by comparing vocal behavior and the subjective experience of speaking in four real rooms and their audio-visual virtual replicas. Sex differences were explored. Males and females (N = 13) adjusted their voice levels similarly to room acoustic changes in the real rooms, but only males did so in

Near-haploidization, that is, loss of one copy of most chromosomes, is a relatively rare phenomenon in most tumors, but is enriched among certain soft tissue sarcomas, including undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS). Presumably, near-haploidization can arise through many mechanisms. This study aimed to identify gene rearrangements that could cause near-haploidization. We here present two UPS

The ionizable-lipid component of RNA-containing nanoparticles controls the pH-dependent behavior necessary for an efficient delivery of the cargo - the so-called endosomal escape. However, it is still an empirical exercise to identify optimally performing lipids. Here, we study two well-known ionizable lipids, DLin-MC3-DMA and DLin-DMA using a combination of experiments, multiscale computer simula

High-risk neuroblastoma (NB) is a significant clinical challenge. MYCN and Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK), which are often involved in high-risk NB, lead to increased replication stress in cancer cells, suggesting therapeutic strategies. We previously identified an ATR (ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related)/ALK inhibitor (ATRi/ALKi) combination as such a strategy in two independent genetically

This is an experiment the perceptual differences between full and contractedsemi-modals in English, i.e. the distinction of going to vs gonna and (HAVE) gotto vs gotta. It is a listen-and-repeat experiment and is informed by the findingsof a corpus study of the use of these forms in American English (AmE). It thusaims to integrate the social/variational and the cognitive sides of the phenomenon.

Innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming cities in unprecedented ways. In this chapter, we unpack the connections between AI and the urban by introducing the concept of urban AI and reflecting on its most prominent incarnations: autonomous vehicles, urban robots, city brains and urban software agents. We then illustrate how the emergence of urban AI is producing a new urbanism th
