The Bangladeshi Gen Zs and university students demonstrated a revolutionary example of civic engagement, participatory culture, subcultural identity formation, and reformation during the Student Quota Reform Movement in July, leading to the July massacre where thousands of protesting students were tortured and shot to death in public. The movement happened as an enraged response against the announ

Many problems in science and engineering involve estimating a dynamic signal from indirect measurements subject to noise, where points can either evolve in continuous time or in discrete time. These problems are often formalised as inference in probabilistic state-space models, which are also frequently assumed to be Markovian. For inferring the value of the signal at a particular point in time, m

This book is a history of Swedish theatre.

This chapter concerns routing optimization in optical burst switching (OBS) networks. OBS is a photonic network technology aiming at efficient transport of IP traffic. OBS architectures are in general bufferless and therefore sensitive to burst congestion. An overall burst loss probability (BLP) which adequately represents the congestion state of the entire network is the primary metric of interes

This paper provides design experience based on 2D FE electromagnetic and heat transfer analysis that are used to support product development. An induction in-roll heater is analyzed, tested and verified. The scientific challenge is to develop fast and fair models to provide design guidelines for layout specification, material selection and performance estimation. The transferred energy capability

The concise, critical reviews in this volume cover recent advances in the field of xenobiotics in any segment of the environment. They also address areas of accomplishment and need and discuss toxicological implications

The initiation of a migraine attack involves a primary central nervous system dysfunction with subsequent activation of the trigeminovascular system. In trigeminal ganglia, the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) have been demonstrated by immunocytochemistry. During migraine attacks, the level of released CGRP is increased. Meanwhi

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder in which both antibody and cell-mediated autoimmune responses are directed against an individual's own platelets and/or megakaryocytes, leading to either enhanced platelet destruction and/or reduced platelet production, respectively. The cause of this platelet-specific autoimmunity remains unknown, but there has been a constan

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a serious complication of transfusion and has been ranked as one of the leading causes of transfusion-related fatalities. Nonetheless, many details of the immunopathogenesis of TRALI, particularly with respect to recipient factors are unknown. We used a murine model of antibody-mediated TRALI in an attempt to understand the role that recipient lymph

An understanding of how helper T cells are activated to drive blood group immune responses will help to explain the immunogenicity of antigens such as HPA-1a. In this issue of Blood, Anani Sarab and colleagues identify the naturally processed HPA1a peptides recognized by T cells and set the stage for peptide-based therapies in NAIT.(1).

Lymphodepletion strategies are used in the setting of transplantation (including bone marrow, hematopoietic cell, and solid organ) to create space or to prevent allograft rejection and graft versus host disease. Following lymphodepletion, there is an excess of IL-7 available, and T cells that escape depletion respond to this cytokine undergoing accelerated proliferation. Moreover, this environment

INTRODUCTION: Beta-cell replacement by human islets or whole pancreas offers a life-saving therapeutic remedy for patients suffering from type 1 diabetes, providing considerable advantages with respect to diminishing total daily insulin dose and lowering frequencies of debilitating hypoglycemic reactions as well as preventing chronic micro- and macrovascular complications. Although remarkable prog

This article describes an innovative transnational education project involving three European universities, funded through ERASMUS+. One of its aims was to develop and provide a curriculum to facilitate students’ understanding and identification of occupational (in)justice by exposing them to marginalised people living in three European communities with differing cultural, social, and political sy
