In Art, Science and the Politics of Knowledge, Hannah Star Rogers challenges the traditional dichotomy between art and science, arguing that they share common approaches to knowledge-making. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies and using compelling examples, Star Rogers illuminates the overlapping characteristics – such as emphases on visualisation, enquiry and experimentation – of the two kn
In Thinking Like a Climate: Governing a City in Times of Environmental Change, Hannah Knox offers a new ethnographic study of the local dynamics of climate change, focusing on the city of Manchester. This detailed analysis of local climate politics illustrates the need for a wholesale reconfiguration of how we think about human-nature relations and act collectively to make the world a better place
Andrew Karvonen revisits the classic urban studies book The City by Robert E. Park and Ernest W. Burgess, originally published in 1925, and argues that contemporary scholars can take inspiration from the bold scientific agenda promoted by these influential authors from the Chicago school of sociology.
Slow- and non-growing bacterial populations, along with intracellular pathogens, often evade standard antibacterial treatments and are linked to persistent and recurrent infections. This necessitates the development of therapies specifically targeting nonproliferating bacteria. To identify compounds active against non-growing uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) we performed a drug-repurposing sc
Deaths of despair (DoD), encompassing suicide, drug overdose, and alcohol-related mortality, are often linked to social and psychological distress. This study examined the long-term risk of DoD among individuals previously hospitalized for suicide attempts, with a focus on substance use problems and psychiatric disorders as potential risk factors. A prospective cohort of 1044 individuals admitted
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Perfusion and perfusion-related parameter maps obtained using dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI are both useful for clinical diagnosis and research. However, using both DSC and DCE MRI in the same scan session requires two doses of gadolinium contrast agent. The objective was to develop deep-learning based methods to synthesiz
This essay posits artistic and curatorial strategies as modes of social improvisation that operate in relation to social and political imaginaries. It considers compositional mechanisms of artistic work as models of intervention that bear the potential to produce critical instances of an ephemeral de-instituting. I seek to develop further the term “destituent spaces” as a model for current curator
BACKGROUND: The Human Protein Atlas, with more than 10 million immunohistochemical images showing tissue- and cell-specific protein expression levels and subcellular localization information, is widely used in kidney research. The Human Protein Atlas contains comprehensive data on multi-tissue transcript and protein abundance, allowing for comparisons across tissues. However, while visual and intu
Introduction: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified a locus on chromosome 4q21.1, spanning the Family With Sequence Similarity 47 Member E (FAM47E), Starch Binding Domain 1 (STBD1), Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 158 (CCDC158), and Shroom Family Member 3 (SHROOM3) genes, to be associated with kidney function markers. Functional studies implicated SHROOM3 as the effector gene, demonstrat
At the current time, social robots are poised to enter human society in an unprecedented way. However, robots currentlyare not adept at communicating emotional states, even if humans to a large extent rely on such communication to regulateinteraction. Although facial expressions are difficult for robots to make use of, colored lights are readily available. Currentlythough, there is no consensus on
Background: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is occurring three times more frequently in females than in males. However, the underlying biological mechanisms driving this discrepancy remain poorly understood. To investigate the causal role of sex hormones and reproductive factors in the risk of DTC, we implemented a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: We utilized genom
Nils Månsson Mandelgren och kampen för kulturens framtid är en antologi med syftet att ge nya perspektiv på Mandelgrens omfattande livsverk. Hittills har forskningen frmäst haft fokus på hans dokumentation av äldre kulturyttringar, men hans stridbarhet och oräddhet i att utmana etablissemanget hade sikte på hur samtidens och framtidens kulturinstitutioner borde utformas och organiseras. I boken di
Background: The adoption of eHealth accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Inequalities in the adoption of eHealth during the COVID-19 pandemic have been reported, but there are few such studies among people with impairment. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate self-reported use and difficulty in the use of eHealth before the COVID-19 pandemic compared to during late social distancing re
Two different sum rules for transmission of the coherent electromagnetic field by a particulate slab are established. The particles are assumed spherical, dielectric, and randomly located, and the slab is illuminated by a plane wave at normal incidence. These sum rules are obtained assuming that the particles are passive scatterers and satisfy causality conditions. The sum rules are then employed
A novel combination of two CD-shaped double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSD) with Gammasphere, Microball, Neutron Shell, and Fragment Mass Analyzer has been exploited at the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) facility at the Argonne National Laboratory during an experimental campaign aiming to study proton-unbound states in odd-Z, N
