This is a study of the European Union (EU) development programme in Peru “Non-State Actors and Local Authorities in Development”. The purpose of the study was to understand how governmentality is created and practiced in the programme. A Foucauldian perspective was applied to the analysis of how neo-liberal rationalities and techniques are practiced in the programme. The principal data collection

Höjningar och sänkningar av den globala havsnivån under pleistocen och holocen har framför allt styrts av glacio-isostatiska och glacio-eustatiska faktorer, direkt kopplade till de cykliska ökningarna respektive minskningarna av Jordens istäcken. Förutom de dominerande glacio-isostatiska och glacio-eustatiska faktorerna har flera andra komponenter påverkat havsnivån, vilket komplicerar de regionalRise and fall of the global sea level during Pleistocene and Holocene are mainly caused by glacio-isostatic and glacio-eustatic factors directly linked to the cyclic increase and decrease of the Earth’s ice sheets. Apart from the dominating glacio-isostatic and glacio-eustatic factors, several other components have influenced the global sea level, which complicates the regional sea level curves of

With world population expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050, global food production needs to rise by up 70 %. This will require even more extensive use of fertilizers. In the wake of an emerging climate crisis the need for biofuels will also increase and further exacerbate the nutrient demand. Most conventional fertilizers are today produced in an unsustainable way and minerals such as phosph

We demonstrate how to compute radome reference cases for benchmarkingradome codes. Radomes are electrically large structures, and to facilitate thecomputations a rotationally symmetric structure is assumed. We show howto implement this in the commercial software Comsol Multiphysics, and howto extract the relevant data for comparison. Two example geometries areanalyzed: a spherical shell radome, an

It has been suggested that added sugar intake is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, previous studies only focused on sugar-sweetened beverages; the evidence for associations with total added sugars and their sources is scarce. This study aimed to examine the associations of total added sugars, their physical forms (liquid vs. solid), and food sources with risk of N

A new aromatic pair, 2-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzamide/1-methylpyrrole at the terminal position of hairpin polyamides has been designed for distinguishing T·A from A·T base pairs and both from G·C/C·G in the minor groove of DNA. Four eight-ring hairpin polyamides with benzamide (Bz), 2-hydroxybenzamide (Hb-1), 2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzamide (Hb-2), and 2-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzamide (Hb-3) at the N-terminal

We report the discovery of a hot (Teq ≈ 1055 K) planet in the small-planet radius valley that transits the Sun-like star TOI-733. It was discovered as part of the KESPRINT follow-up program of TESS planets carried out with the HARPS spectrograph. TESS photometry from sectors 9 and 36 yields an orbital period of {equation presented} days and a radius of {equation presented}. Multi-dimensional Gauss

Rationale: We recently demonstrated that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) carrying the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) A allele had increased circulating TNF-α levels compared with the ones carrying the TNF-α G allele. In the current study, we addressed the effect of TNF-α (-308G/A) gene polymorphism on circulating TNF-α levels following continuous

History is written by the powerful. Representations of the past are framed within the structures of the dominant institutions today, and other pasts – those of the enslaved, the marginalised, the disenfranchised – are often suppressed. Drawing of Eric Wolf’s Europe and the People Without History, this chapter explores how the fertile lands of the Cauca Valley, Colombia, have been transformed into

We study active human visuo-locomotive experience in everyday navigation from the viewpoints of environmental familiarity, embodied reorientation, and (sensorimotor) spatial update. Following a naturalistic, in situ, embodied multimodal behaviour analysis method, we conclude that familiar users rely on environmental cues as a navigation-aid and exhibit proactive decision-making, whereas unfamiliar

Background and purpose: The Swedish Lymphoma Register (SLR) was initiated in the year 2000 with the aim to monitor quality of care in diagnostics, treatment and outcome of all lymphomas diagnosed nationally among adults. Here, we present the first systematic validation of SLR records as a basis for improved register quality and patient care. Patients and methods: We evaluated timeliness and comple

This article discusses the potentials of a/r/tography aka artography against the background of life in an accelerating academia that is increasingly shallow and unfulfilling, and where quality is only indirectly measured using bibliometrics. We find Hartmut Rosa’s concept of resonance to be useful when discussing the values that get lost in such a system. We appreciate the arguments for a slower,

Projecting land-use allocation under various scenarios can be useful for reconciling conflicts between urbanization, food security, and ecological integrity throughout landscapes, but existing approaches often fail to capture the interactions in land systems that occur across scales and within and between hierarchical jurisdictions of societal organization. This article introduces a cross-scale fu

Retrograde and transganglionic labeling techniques are commonly used to visualize subsets of neurons and sensory afferent projections in the nervous system. These methods commonly require anesthesia and surgical methods. However, some tracers can also be administered systemically in awake animals, thus reducing risks associated with anesthesia and surgery and allowing for labeling of neuronal popu
