It is increasingly apparent that technology and online platforms entail and communicate normativity. Lawrence Lessig has described this in terms of 'code as law' and thereby pointing to the fact that there is an ongoing shift of power from nation states to tech companies, and José van Dijck has shown how the Big Five - Google (Alphabet), Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft - represents a neo-libera
Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered an Iron Age temple house in Vång providing new context to the centrality of Iron Age central Blekinge in Sweden, as well as its development into the Medieval period. This thesis aims to examine how that development unfolded using the lens of affordance theory combined with a GIS assisted source pluralistic analysis. Comparing Iron Age monuments with
The synthesis of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), building blocks of DNA, can be achieved by two different pathways in the cell. One is called de novo synthesis and the other is known as salvage pathway. The de novo pathway involves synthesis of dNTPs by utilizing basic molecules like sugars, amino acids, CO2, NH3, etc., while in the other pathway, dNTPs are formed by salvaging intra- or
To analyse the association between types of physical activity (occupational, recreational and household, vigorous and overall) and risk of primary oesophageal (OAC) or gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC). From nine European countries, 420,449 participants were recruited between 1991 and 2000 and followed-up for a mean of 8.8 years to register incident GAC and OAC. Information on physical activity (PA), d
In 2015, following a series of sub-regional consultations, 109 states endorsed an Agenda for the Protection of Cross-Border Displaced Persons in the Context of Disasters and Climate Change. Although active in supporting the consultative process and notwithstanding their endorsement of this ‘Protection Agenda’, the European Union and its Member States promote ‘effective practices’ in the global Sou
Dredging operations in ports, rivers, and waterways are essential for maintaining navigable depths, but they result in large volumes of dredged sediments (DS) that are often unsuitable for immediate reuse due to their high moisture content, low strength, and contamination. Stabilization and solidification (S/S) techniques are widely employed to improve the geotechnical properties of DS, making the
Following World War Two emigration from Central and Eastern Europe, in particular, has grown in spite of increasingly strict border controls. Given this rise in migration pressure from the East during a strictly regulated period, the 2004 EU enlargement of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia threatened to transform the migration landsc
Business angels play a crucial role in stimulating the growth of early-stage ventures. They are key players in the venture financing market, providing both financial support and experience from their own entrepreneurial experiences. As the entrepreneurial landscape has historically advantaged males, leading to its male-predominance, previous studies raise awareness of how business angels, particul
This essay explores the critiques of modernity from posthuman and Indigenous perspectives, exploring their convergences and divergences. It argues that both frameworks challenge the anthropocentric and dualistic paradigms that have historically governed Western thought. Posthumanism encourages ontological humility by recognizing the non-dual nature of existence and more-than-human agency, while In
The work of stage actors has long been used as a simile for every day role playing, generating theoretical concepts to describe how people work to pre-sent themselves in general and how they manage their emotions in particular. Building on this tradition, this article analyses professional stage actors’ deliberate emotion management as an embodied professionalisation process, focusing the relation
2593Background: PD-1 blockade has demonstrated positive anti-tumor activity across multiple tumor types. While the anti-tumoral response can be substantial and even curative, response rates remain low in many cancer types. Long-lasting responses are only observed in a minority of patients, and additional immunotherapeutic alternatives remain limited for patients who fail to respond or initially re
In addition to the family context, persons in the neighborhood and community are important for individual life course, socioeconomic and demographic outcomes such as education, career and family transitions. This paper aims to study how neighborhood conditions in childhood influence fertility outcomes in adulthood. Theories focusing on motivation, aspirations and attitudes or peer influence generaIn addition to the family context, persons in the neighborhood and community are important for individual life course, socioeconomic and demographic outcomes such as education, career and family transitions.

Drawing on a playful notebook entry from Hans Jonas’s student years, this article examines why Jonas consistently sidestepped Friedrich Schelling’s Naturphilosophie in his writings on philosophical biology. It begins by outlining the many affinities between the two thinkers, as noted in previous scholarship: both articulate an asubjective teleology, both understand organisms as self-individuating
