In 2019, archaeologists carried out a large excavation of parts of the Dominican convent in the centre of Lund, in Scania, Sweden, which yielded a substantial medieval ceramic assemblage. This article aims to compare selected sherds from this assemblage with a collection of funerary pots, or censers, retrieved further south in the same town block during excavations in the convent church in 1906. Q

AimsTo evaluate the potential causal effect of glycemic traits on lung cancer and investigate the impact of antihyperglycemic agent-target genes on lung cancer risk.MethodsGenetic variants associated with glycemic traits, antihyperglycemic agent-target genes, and lung cancer were extracted from the Meta-Analyses of Glucose and Insulin-related traits Consortium (MAGIC), expression quantitative trai
This article examines the dynamics of matter and signifiers in Zola’s two novels Nana (1880) and Money (1891). Though Zola’s novels are often read with a focus on capital and economics workings, the context of marginalist economics contemporaneous to Zola is only vaguely described. In drawing upon Jean-Joseph Goux’s work on marginalism and Zola, this topic is addressed, and the article discusses d
In photoacoustic imaging, the amplitude of the photoacoustic signal is used for mapping the spatial distribution of a chromophore in the body and few studies have focused on the potential of using frequency content of the photoacoustic data. This study investigates the feasibility of using the photoacoustic center frequency spectrum in differentiating microspheres of various sizes and colors in ph
Increasing interest and research is directed towards longitudinal arterial wall motion (LMov) identified by ultrasonography, most often of the common carotid artery (CCA). LMov comprises of both antegrade and retrograde motion phases that create motion patterns specific to an individual. Preliminary data from several independent groups strongly suggest correlation between LMov parameters and cardi
It has been proposed that formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is part of a systemic arterial dilatative disease. However, arteries in the upper extremity are scarcely studied and it remains unclear whether both muscular and elastic arteries are affected by the proposed systemic arterial dilatation. The aim of this study was to investigate diameter and stiffness of muscular and elastic art
This article analyses similarities between Flaubert’s stylistics in Madame Bovary and the theories of new materialism, in particular the work of Karen Barad. Drawing upon earlier readings of the novel by Schor, Danius, Starobinski and Rancière this reading centers on the motif of boundaries and their dissolvement and it argues that the novel highlights a feeling of disappointment or frustration wi
While the Japanese writer Murakami Ryūs earlier works are concerned with shock and boredom, his works from the 1990’s display an interest in apocalyptic fantasies in order to start society afresh. This article examines two of these novels – Popular Hits of the Showa Era (1994) and In the Miso Soup (1997) – and discusses this tendency in the context of Japan’s Lost Decade, the economic depression t
Ethics and politics in a new materialist framework are key issues in current debates and spark research in a wide array of fields from matters of sex and gender to ecology and art theory. However, a definition of politics, and how it relates to democracy, is often left out of these discussions. This article addresses that issue through the theory of radical democracy and politics as rupture from J
Solitary bees are important pollinators of crops and wild plants, and their decline poses a risk to the sustained provision of the services they provide. Although evidence suggests that exposure to insecticides can affect bees, most pesticide research and risk assessment has focussed on social bees and mortality while solitary species are understudied. The ability to forage is critical for solitar
1. Bees are essential pollinators of crops and wild plants and their ability to forage and pollinate are key aspects of their behaviour. Bee populations are under threat, with the use of insecticides a contributing factor. Most research has focused on neonicotinoid insecticides and bee mortality, and little is known about impacts on bee foraging and delivery of pollination services. However, other
