Carbon moves through the atmosphere, through the oceans, onto land, and into ecosystems. This cycling has a large effect on climate – changing geographic patterns of rainfall and the frequency of extreme weather – and is altered as the use of fossil fuels adds carbon to the cycle. The dynamics of this global carbon cycling are largely predicted over broad spatial scales and long periods of time by
In Walking on the Pages of the Word of God Aron Engberg explores the religious language and identities of evangelical volunteer workers in contemporary Jerusalem. The volunteers are connected to Christian organizations which consider their work a natural consequence of the biblical promises to Israel and their responsibility to “bless the Jewish people”.Relying on ethnographic data of the discursi
This open access book examines the formation and sustainability of private credit networks in past societies, gathering a global range of case studies from Europe and the Americas. The book represents a fi rst attempt to coordinate the work of different scholars working on credit networks and aims to explore the possibilities offered by social network analysis for the study of past fi nancial mark
Natural products are emerging as valuable tools in insect pest management, particularly as synergists that enhance insecticidal activity while potentially reducing chemical usage and mitigating resistance. This chapter explores the role of natural products in boosting the efficacy of both synthetic and botanical insecticides. First, the chapter focuses on the current regulatory status of synergist
Attosecond pulses produced by high-order harmonic generation in gases driven by intense laser fields have become a cornerstone technique for probing ultrafast electronic motion in matter. These applications require a good knowledge of the temporal and spectral properties of the emitted radiation. In this work, we generate a train of two to three attosecond pulses that we characterize using two-col
People's willingness to include others and their level of suspicion of those perceived to not belong are constrained by political affiliation and adherence to ideologies such as neoliberalism, Islamophobia, and ethnocentrism. In an era of heightened polarizing discourse about immigrants, the interaction between changing information and constraints can be leveraged to understand how dynamic narrati
Gas diffusion layers (GDLs) are critical fibrous porous components utilized in proton exchange membrane fuel cells and water electrolysis systems. Stochastic reconstruction of GDL microstructures facilitates the shift from empirical trial-and-error to performance-driven material design. However, current reconstruction methods often ignore intricate morphological nuances inherent to commercial GDLs
The optimization of coupling between photovoltaic (PV) systems and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers is crucial for achieving efficient and scalable hydrogen production. Advances in both technology and software can enhance this integration. While static sizing and electrical coupling methods support location-specific design, they struggle to accommodate the dynamic nature of solar irrad
Sverigedemokraternas vitbok, som partiledaren Jimmie Åkesson presenterade 2017, har väckt stor uppmärksamhet genom att återuppta viktiga aspekter av partiets historia. Även om dessa frågor har behandlats i tidigare forskning är det fortfarande aktuellt att återkomma till dem. Vitboken är författad av idéhistorikern Tony Gustafsson och använder sig av en omfattande källanalys för att påvisa SverigeThe Sweden Democrats’ white paper, announced by party leader Jimmie Åkesson in 2017, has generated significant discussion by revisiting key aspects of the party’s history. Although these issues have been addressed in previous research, their reiteration remains relevant. Authored by historian of ideas Tony Gustafsson, the white paper employs comprehensive source analysis to demonstrate the Sweden
Many preterm infants are exposed to multiple transfusion types during their admission in the neonatal intensive care unit. Yet, evidence supporting current practice consists of several randomized controlled trials and observational studies focusing on a single transfusion product at the time. Rather than approaching transfusions as three distinct categories as currently done in the literature, the
Objective: To describe the normal heart rate (HR) of healthy newborns ≥35+0 weeks’ gestation in the first 10 min after caesarean delivery (CD) with extrauterine placental transfusion, using dry-electrode ECG (NeoBeat). Design: Single-centre, prospective observational study. Setting: Norwegian County Hospital. Patients: Newborns ≥35+0 weeks’ gestation delivered by CD under regional anaesthesia were
This article presents a new way of obtaining deep explanations of environmental problems. We expose the production strategies, corporate strategies and state actions that have been taken by firms and state agencies to facilitate the geographical expansion of the wood-based commodity frontier at the expense of reindeer pastoralists among the Indigenous Sámi people. Through qualitative analysis of a
This chapter is an attempt to trace the political–philosophical discourses of modernity and nationalism in Iran during the twentieth century. The aim is to understand the frameworks of political discourse at two points in time, 1920 and the present, and to analyze how these frameworks have changed. In short, while certain ideas seem to repeat themselves over time, the issue here is the salience of
What does the political landscape look like after eight years of Ahmadinejad and what did he represent beyond the caricature? That landscape is now President Hassan Rouhani's inheritance. As a centrist who won with the help of reformist voters, how can he navigate this landscape? The economy is the most pressing issue and it entails improving management at home and mending fences abroad. The latte
Circular economy (CE) policy has largely developed around product markets, where ecodesign, repairability requirements, and extended producer responsibility now form a substantial regulatory layer. In regulated energy infrastructure, where replacement decisions are shaped by depreciation schedules, regulatory review cycles, and procurement rules, these tools have made limited progress. This perspe
Ventricular function is vital in patients with single ventricles but repeated surgeries and changes in ventricular volume load may change the relation between longitudinal and radial function. To expand the knowledge of cardiac mechanics in this population, the aim of this study was to assess longitudinal and radial contribution to stroke volume using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in pa
Aims: 4D blood flow measurements by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can be used to simplify blood flow assessment. Compressed sensing (CS) can provide better flow measurements than conventional parallel imaging (PI), but clinical validation is needed. This study aimed to validate stroke volume (SV) measurements by 4D-CS in healthy volunteers and patients while also investigating the influ
