In the latter half of the 1360s, Catherine became connected to the mantellate, a group of laywomen, most of whom were financially independent widows like Birgitta. When Tommaso di Antonio da Siena, known in scholarly literature as Caffarini, instigated a hearing in Venice in 1411 as a part of his efforts to see Catherine of Siena canonized, one of his principal strategies for promoting her holines

This Editorial highlights an interesting study in the current issue of the Journal of Neurochemistry in which Zhou et al. report new data showing that the ablation of serine racemase increases local insulin production in neurons of the hippocampus. The authors explored some of the possible mechanisms mediating the interaction between dampening production of D-serine and the local synthesis of insu

Harvesting beach-cast can help mitigate marine eutrophication by closing land-marine nutrient loops and provide a blue biomass raw material for the bioeconomy. Cost–benefit analysis was applied to harvest activities during 2009–2018 on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, highlighting benefits such as nutrient removal from the marine system and improved recreational opportunities as well as co

Collaboration between public and private partners is often seen as an important tool and is used by public authorities to handle many different problems in society, including public transport. In both research and practice, it is common to find exhortations to increase collaboration and suggestions on how to improve it and make it successful. However, in this chapter, we adopt a critical approach

Experimentation has become one of the prevailing modes of governing the transition toward sustainable practices in urban environments. The spatial variation of urban sustainability transition has been attributed to a variety of conditions erected at different spatial scales. What remains less well-understood is how spatial situatedness shapes agency in urban experiments and the shapes agency can t

The term “intracellular complement” has been introduced recently as an umbrella term to distinguish functions of complement proteins that take place intracellularly, rather than in the extracellular environment. However, this rather undefined term leaves some confusion as to the classification of what intracellular complement really is, and as to which intracellular compartment(s) it should refer

This paper focuses on how contributions are argued in research proposals in the humanities. Due to standardizing tendencies in research funding towards formats characteristic of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects, there has been concern that the humanities are marginalized. In this study, ‘contribution statements’ were identified in proposals funded by the Bank of Swe

This paper investigates whether structuralist and culturalist approaches to migrant entrepreneurship can explain the early-stage entrepreneurship of recently arrived refugees. Specifically, we empirically test three hypotheses on how refugees’ current geographical location and ethnic origin matter for their entrepreneurial beliefs, which provide the cognitive and affective foundations for entrepre

Electric Road Systems (ERS) is an emerging new technology that aim to electrify land transport by supplying electric vehicles (EV) with power. By providing EV's the possibility to charge while driving i.e. dynamic charging the battery size can be greatly decreased compared to a solution with nighttime and fast charging. The evaluation of the potential of ERS has already been published in a number
