The timing and connections between global cooling, marine redox conditions, and biotic turnover are underconstrained for the Late Ordovician. The second most severe mass extinction occurred at the end of the Ordovician period, resulting in ~85% loss of marine species between two extinction pulses. As the only “Big 5” extinction that occurred during icehouse conditions, this interval is an importan

Layered lithium-rich transition metal oxides are promising cathode candidates for high-energy-density lithium batteries due to the redox contributions from transition metal cations and oxygen anions. However, their practical application is hindered by gradual capacity fading and voltage decay. Although oxygen loss and phase transformation are recognized as primary factors, the structural deteriora

Craft has been a steady adversary to the proliferation of industrialization. As an imaginary of embodied work, mainly driven by intrinsic motivation and by a strive for excellence, craft is increasingly re-emerging in discussions on improving current forms of work. A common theme across research on craft is its potential to address alienation as one of the main pathologies of modern work. We study

Objectives To follow up four previously identified classes 'pure axial spondyloarthritis' (axSpA) ('axial'), 'axSpA with peripheral signs' ('inflammatory back pain+peripheral'), 'axSpA at risk' and 'no spondyloarthritis' ('no SpA'). They reflect the expert-opinion-free construct or 'Gestalt' of chronic back pain suspicious of axSpA. The aim was to assess participants' transitions between these cla

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can in principle differentiate into any cell of the body, and have revolutionized biomedical research and regenerative medicine. Unlike their human counterparts, mouse iPSCs (miPSCs) are reported to silence transposable elements and prevent transposable element-mediated mutagenesis. Here we apply short-read or Oxford Nanopore Technologies long-read genome seq

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are capable of unlimited proliferation and can differentiate in vitro to generate derivatives of the three primary germ layers. Genetic and epigenetic abnormalities have been reported by Wissing and colleagues to occur during hiPSC derivation, including mobilization of engineered LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons. However, incidence and functional impact of

The effects of peptidolysis during early cheese ripening were studied in a low-fat (10% fat), round-eyed, semi-hard cheese using gel permeation chromatography and determinations of N content in cheese extracts. Addition of a heat-treated culture of Lactobacillus helveticus enhanced the peptidolytic activity even during the first weeks of cheese ripening. An aminopeptidase was found to have the nec

Glycolipid-lectin-driven endocytosis controls the formation of clathrin-independent carriers and the internalization of various cargos such as β1 integrin. Whether this process is regulated in a dynamic manner remained unexplored. Here we demonstrate that, within minutes, the epidermal growth factor triggers the galectin-driven endocytosis of cell-surface glycoproteins, such as integrins, that are

Outcomes for patients with oesophago-gastric cancer are variable across Europe. The reasons for this variability are not clear. The aim of this study was to describe and analyse clinical pathways to understand differences in service provision for oesophageal and gastric cancer in the countries participating in the EURECCA Upper GI group.

Isoprene is a highly reactive volatile organic compound emitted by vegetation, known to be a precursor of secondary organic aerosols and to enhance tropospheric ozone formation under polluted conditions. Isoprene emissions respond strongly to changes in meteorological parameters such as temperature and solar radiation. In addition, the increasing CO2 concentration has a dual effect, as it causes b

This thesis investigates how prominent political leaders construct perceptions of enemies during conflict. Using Schmitt’s Concept of the Political as a starting point, the study explores Julius Caesar’s and George W. Bush’s enemy portrayal of ‘Barbarians’ and ‘Islamic terrorists’. Utilizing a Thematic Analysis, the thesis has explored and compared the narratives of the two leaders during conflict
