The canihua (Chenopodium pallidicaule) is a native Andean crop that stands out for its high content of protein, fiber, and minerals and that has a good fatty acid profile. We studied six canihuas cultivars, which were compared according to their proximate, mineral, and fatty acid composition. Based on the form of stems, termed growth habit, they belonged to two groups: decumbent (Lasta Rosada, Ill
The Boltzmann–Gibbs additive entropy (Formula presented.) and associated statistical mechanics were generalized in 1988 into nonadditive entropy (Formula presented.) and nonextensive statistical mechanics, respectively. Since then, a plethora of medical applications have emerged. In the present review, we illustrate them by briefly presenting image and signal processings, tissue radiation response
Evidence of the effectiveness of the tests used to diagnose Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in primary healthcare is limited. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the accuracy of tests used for to diagnose H. pylori infection in primary care patients and its relationship with gastroduodenal pathologies. Over 12 months, 173 primary care patients with dyspeptic symptoms were referred for upper
Making It Home: An Aesthetic Methodological Contribution to the Study of Migrant Home-Making and Politics of Integration (aka MaHoMe) is a NordForsk-funded project involving eight researchers from universities in the UK, Denmark and Sweden. It examines how migrants make and make sense of home amidst the complex and divergent politics of integration in these three so-called “host societies”. My rol
What role has music played in global colonial projects? And how has musical colonisation been implemented on a large scale? To address these questions, I analyse the work of the evangelical missionary administrators Christian Ignatius Latrobe (1756–1836) and Hans-Peter Hallbeck (1784–1840). Latrobe was a London-based music historian, composer and editor who oversaw the missionary work of the Morav
A network mechanics model for analysis of materials made of dry-shaped cellulose fibres is proposed. In terms of the model, the network is composed of fibres of arbitrary distribution in length, curvature, cross-section. stiffness and strength. The fibres are arranged in a random structure according to an arbitrary orientation distribution. Where fibres meet there may be fibre-to-fibre interaction
The introduction of laminated timber, glulam being an example, allowed many of the disadvantages associated with solid wood to be overcome. The disadvantages in question are mainly those related to the size and shape limits of structural elements made of solid wood and to the large variability in such material properties of solid wood as strength and stiffness.In the present thesis, which comprise
Internationally, there is considerable inconsistency in the recognition and regulation of children's genetic connections outside the family. In the context of gamete and embryo donation, challenges for regulation seem endless. In this paper, I review some of the paths that have been taken to manage children' being closely genetically related to people outside their families. I do so against the ba
III-V co-integration is less mature compared to Si/Ge CMOS due to their inferior pMOS device performance. This letter adopts a novel quaternary InGaAsSb channel material in a core-shell vertical nanowire structure to overcome the limitations. A gate-last process achieves self-alignment of the drain and gate contacts. The improved electrostatics with short gate length ${L}_{\text {g}}$ = 60 nm resu
Propagation-based phase contrast imaging with a laboratory x-ray source is a valuable tool for studying samples that show only low absorption contrast, either because of low density, elemental composition, or small feature size. If a propagation distance between sample and detector is introduced and the illumination is sufficiently coherent, the phase shift in the sample will cause additional cont
Probabilistic methods can be used to account for uncertainties in hygrothermal analysis of building envelopes. This paper presents methods for robust mould reliability analysis and identification of critical parameters. Mould indices are calculated by probabilistic hygrothermal analysis, followed by the application of the "Finnish mould growth model." To increase the robustness of the mould growth
In this article, we read the COVID-19 pandemic from a Lacanian perspective, in which trauma and ontological insecurity are at the heart of the analysis. Using a psychoanalytical approach allows us to grasp why the most common response to the pandemic consisted of intensified commitments to home, nationalism, and exclusionary bordering practices and, in effect, a return to geopolitical notions of “
ObjectivesThe numbers of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations per capita continue to increase in Sweden and in other parts of Europe. The appropriateness of CT and MRI examinations was audited using established European appropriateness criteria. Alternative modalities were also explored. The results were compared with those of a previous study performed in Swe
