Under mitt fältarbete kring graffiti var ”ska vi inte gå och ta en öl?” en återkommandeuppmaning bland deltagarna, även formulerad som ”gå ut och röka”, ”ta en promenad”, osv. Även om dessa förslag i sig knappast är unika för graffiti, visade sig deras betydelser och konsekvenser vara just det. I detta kapitel ska jag analysera hur dessa sociala uppmaningar användes som subkulturella eufemismer fö
Aftershock rates seem to follow a power law decay, but the assessment of the aftershock frequency immediately after an earthquake, as well as during the evolution of a seismic excitation remains a demand for the imminent seismic hazard. The purpose of this work is to study the temporal distribution of triggered earthquakes in short time scales following a strong event, and thus a multiple seismic
This study aims to fabricate nanoclay (NC) embedded polyacrylonitrile (PAN) adsorptive electrospun nanofibers (Ads-ESNs) as high performance membranes for organic micropollutants (OMPs) removal. Ads-ESN were tested using a comprehensive protocol included adsorption in batches (static) and during filtration (dynamic). The filtration performance of Ads-ESNs was tested using gravity driven membrane (
BackgroundOlder adults have a high prevalence of chronic pain, which can have a substantial effect on their health and quality of life. Patients’ use of effective pain relief methods is a central part of the treatment and management of chronic pain. The utilization of pain relief methods and their perceived effectiveness are important knowledge for treating and managing chronic pain for clinicians
In this fascinating biography of the Indian revolutionary M. P. T. Acharya (1887–1954), Ole Birk Laursen uncovers the remarkable transnational networks, movements and activities of India’s most important anticolonial anarchist in the twentieth century.Driven by the urge for complete freedom from colonialism, authoritarianism, fascism and militarism, which are rooted in the idea and politics of the
Despite the recent experimental and theoretical progress in the investigation of the nuclear fission process, a complete description still represents a challenge in nuclear physics because it is a very complex dynamical process, whose description involves the coupling between intrinsic and collective degrees of freedom, as well as different quantum-mechanical phenomena. To improve on the existing
Machining-based deformation processing is used to produce metal foil and flat wire (strip) with suitable properties and quality for electrical power and renewable energy applications. In contrast to conventional multistage rolling, the strip is produced in a single-step and with much less process energy. Examples are presented from metal systems of varied workability, and strip product scale in te
In Europe, rapeseed is a common oilseed crop, resulting in the production of 20 million tons of rapeseed press cake yearly. This press cake can be further upcycled and a protein fraction can be extracted for food purposes, leaving de-proteinized fiber-rich residues. This study examined the use of these residues in the production of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) and of the spent substrate
Hazardous materials in buildings cause project uncertainty concerning schedule and cost estimation, and hinder material recovery in renovation and demolition. The study aims to identify patterns and extent of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and asbestos materials in the Swedish building stock to assess their potential presence in pre-demolition audits. Statistics and machine learning pipelines we
This article presents a fully integrated millimeter-wave (mmW) transceiver front end covering 24.25–29.5 GHz. It features a wideband Doherty power amplifier utilizing adaptive bias and a transmit/receive switch (TRX-switch) that has embedded low noise amplifier to antenna matching. The phase shift of 90
Organisational structures in the transport sector are often complex and fragmented, with different authorities responsible for different stages of a traveller’s journey. In such circumstances, collaboration across organisationalboundaries is required to facilitate intermodal journeys. This paper aims to provide empirically grounded insights into collaboration in transport planning, extending the l
BACKGROUND: Numerous laboratory tests are used in the diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus. The quality of the scientific evidence supporting the use of these assays varies substantially. APPROACH: An expert committee compiled evidence-based recommendations for laboratory analysis in screening, diagnosis, or monitoring of diabetes. The overall quality of the evidence and the strength of t
Flooding is a natural but unavoidable disaster that occurs over time. Flooding threatens human life, property, and resources and affects regional and national economies. Through frequency ratio and MaxEnt modeling, flood sensitivity was determined in the Amu Darya River Basin in Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan. Slope, plan curvature, distance to river, rainfall, aspect, land use, elevation, Norma
This article conceptualizes evolutionary theory as a bridge between existing theorizing in strategic communication on the one hand, the mind sciences on the other. It discusses six core concepts of evolutionary psychology that have a bearing on strategic communication theory: a) the human as a highly flexible social species; b) the regulation of individually-minded vs. collectively-minded behavior
The transcriptional mechanisms underlying tooth development are only beginning to be understood. Pitx2, a bicoid-like homeodomain transcription factor, is the first transcriptional marker observed during tooth development. Because Pitx2, Msx2, and Dlx2 are expressed in the dental epithelium, we examined the transcriptional activity of PITX2 in concert with Msx2 and the Dlx2 promoter. PITX2 activat
