Autobiographical remembering is reconstructive and frequently occurs in social interaction, yet it remains unclear whether the relationship between narrator and listener shapes how memories are expressed and subsequently remembered. This study examined autobiographical memory sharing with friends versus strangers and evaluated the use of a large language model (GPT-5.5) for coding narrative data.
Treated wastewater reuse is increasingly promoted as a climate adaptation strategy for water–scarce agricultural settings, yet its health risks are often assessed through approaches that foreground pathogens, contaminants, and modelled exposure pathways while overlooking everyday social practices related to water. This thesis explores how local practices, understandings, and systemic drivers of wa
The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner's home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms. Birds and mammals, insects, worms and not least plants live their lives intermingled in the contemporary human habitations of single-house suburbs. Thus, home gardens provide plenty of material to reflect on and handle biodiversity and sustainability issues in
Applying research into assessments of community theatre, epidemiology, and young people's shared and private stories using a wide range of methodologies, this book explores the potential efficacy of community theatre to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS in Tanzania with reference to several other comparable sites in Africa.Applying research into assessments of community theatre, epidemiology, and young people's shared and private stories using a wide range of methodologies, this book explores the potential efficacy of community theatre to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS in Tanzania with reference to several other comparable sites in Africa.
The Freedom Theatre is one of the most remarkable institutions in occupied Palestine, and indeed the world. Nestled in Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, the theatre has faced attacks, threats, imprisonment of many functionaries, and the assassination of its co-founder. And yet the theatre has not only endured, it has grown, from a provisional hall with rented plastic chairs to one of Palestine'The Freedom Theatre is one of the most remarkable institutions in occupied Palestine, and indeed the world.

Already in 2019, WHO singled out the increase of vaccine hesitancy as one of the ten most important and urgent threats to global health. Little did people know then of the heated vaccine discussions waiting around the corner, spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic that set some countries on something reminiscent of a war footing. The mass vaccinations against the coronavirus in the early 2020s were seen
Circuits of multiple deterministically positioned semiconductor nanowires (NWs) is the basis of many devices for photonic, quantum, or conventional transistor applications. To explore and iterate on the design of larger circuits, the means to quickly place and electrically evaluate NWs at target locations must be developed. We propose and demonstrate a multi-NW circuit building concept on SiO2/Si
Biological neural network functionality depends on the vast number of connections between nodes, which can be challenging to implement artificially. One radical solution is to replace physical wiring with broadcasting of signals between the artificial neurons. We explore an implementation of this concept by light emitting/receiving III-V semiconductor nanowire neurons in a quasi-2D waveguide. They
Recent research suggests that long-term economic prosperity depends less on rapid growth than on reducing the frequency of economic shrinking. This paper investigates why episodes of economic shrinking declined in 33 Latin American and Caribbean countries between 1970 and 2016; a region that has received comparatively little attention in the emerging literature on economic shrinking. Using a theor
When turning titanium alloys with WC-Co tools, wear occurs due to diffusional dissolution of carbon and cobalt, resulting in crater formation and flank wear. Wear regions on the crater and flank were studied using transmission electron microscopy to establish accurate boundary conditions for thermodynamic modelling. The simulation provided insights into the temperature dependence and phase sequenc
Global warming poses major public health challenges, with pregnant individuals particularly vulnerable to heat. We aim to synthesise evidence on the effects of ambient heat on pregnancy and birth outcomes and identify heat thresholds associated with increased risk of these adverse outcomes. We searched Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, GreenFile and Cinahl (June 2024) for peer-reviewed studies repo
This research seeks to identify critical factors that influence the success to implementing design thinking in the prototype design process within SMEs clusters in developing countries like Bolivia. The determinants of design thinking implementation are generally underexplored, therefore exhibiting its innovative point and contributing to the relevant debate in the field of design, as well as orga
The closed-cycle hydrogen-fueled argon power cycle is a zero emissions concept that combines a carbon-free fuel with argon as a diluent replacement for nitrogen. The lack of nitrogen in the argon power cycle results in zero NOx emissions on an internal combustion engine platform. There is also massive efficiency improvement because argon is monatomic and has a very high ratio of specific heats.

This is a study about conversion in the letter to the Colossians. It argues that the recipients of the letter constituted a group primarily made up of non-Jews who had responded to the message about a Jewish Messiah and formed an association-like group dedicated to his worship. The study spans many fields of research, including New Testament Studies, Archaeology, and modern Conversion Studies. As
Ur förordet:Designen på vardagsnära produkter spelar en viktig roll för att underlätta energi- och resursbesparande beteende. Denna rapport är baserad på projektet ”Standardalternativ som potentiellt verktyg för att främja energieffektivt beteende”. Projektet syftar till fördjupad förståelsen för hur standardalternativ påverkar användare och hushållens energianvändning genom designen. Resultaten g
Background: Inhibition of factor Xa (FXa) by tissue factor pathway inhibitor α (TFPIα) is potentiated by FV-Short and protein S. The C-terminus of TFPIα is important for formation of the TFPIα/protein S/FV-Short complex. It contains a hydrophobic sequence (LIKT). The purpose was to investigate the importance of the LIKT sequence.Methods: Two TFPIα C-terminal peptides were synthesized, one wild-typBackground: Inhibition of factor Xa (FXa) by tissue factor pathway inhibitor α (TFPIα) is potentiated by FV-Short and protein S.

Protein-stabilized oil–water emulsions are increasingly encountered in biorefinery and agro-industrial streams, yet their treatment by membrane filtration remains limited by insufficiently understood fouling mechanisms. Unlike synthetic surfactants, proteins exhibit intrinsic charge regulation and environment-dependent interfacial behavior that strongly influence droplet-droplet and droplet–membra
Wall-resolved large eddy simulations (LES) are performed to investigate turbulent heat transfer in a rough pipe over a range of Prandtl () numbers. The rough surface is generated using a controlled numerical procedure that allows independent specification of roughness correlation length, amplitude, and skewness; a statistically Gaussian height distribution is considered as a baseline case. The r
This study models Additive Manufacturing (AM) roughness using a statistical distribution of spheres and performs high-fidelity simulations at a bulk Reynolds number of 12,000 and a large range of Prandtl numbers to evaluate heat transfer on a rough pipe. Statistical measures were deployed to highlight a clear correlation between roughness features and heat transfer. To directly connect surface top
Growth of the intermetallic compound (IMC) Cu6Sn5 in Sn/Cu coatings is a major source of stress evolution and is closely linked to the reliability of electroplated Sn layers, including their susceptibility to whisker formation. Here, we investigate how Sn grain morphology and grain boundary (GB) transport control stress development during diffusion-controlled Cu6Sn5 growth. A thermodynamically con
