This roundtable article provides responses to the other contributions, emphasizing the need for connecting various research strands in Victorian Studies, and considering international aspects. The essay ends with a proposal to take inspiration from the method of microhistorical morphology, forcing the scholar to consider many different contexts.
A non-equilibrium gliding arc discharge anchored on two diverging stainless steel electrodes was extended into open air by a toluene-containing air jet. The removal process of the toluene by the non-equilibrium gliding arc discharge was investigated through in situ and non-intrusive laser-based techniques. Simultaneous planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of toluene and OH radicals were employ
Purpose To validate the Spanish Catquest-9SF and study patient-reported visual function after implantation of a trifocal versus a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL). setting Clinica Baviera, Valencia and Madrid, Spain. Design Prospective case series. Methods The Catquest-9SF was translated from English to Spanish according to a standard procedure. The Spanish version was validated through Rasch anal
Manual selection of finger trabecular bone texture regions on hand X-ray images is time-consuming, tedious, and observer-dependent. Therefore, we developed an automated method for the region selection. The method selects square trabecular bone regions of interest above and below the second to fifth distal and proximal interphalangeal joints. Two regions are selected per joint (16 regions per hand)
High-volume, low-strength industrial wastewaters constitute a large potential for biogas production, which could be realized by membrane bioreactors operating at the ambient temperature of the wastewater. However, the start-up of low-temperature anaerobic processes using unadapted inoculum can be sensitive to overloading, which results in acidification. This study assessed if a novel acidification
The COX7A2L (Supercomplex Assembly Factor I, SCAFI) protein has been proposed to be a mitochondrial supercomplex assembly factor required for respirasome (supercomplex containing complexes I, III, and IV) formation. In the C57BL/6 mouse strain a homozygous in-frame 6-base-pair deletion in the COX7a2l/SCAF1 gene resulting in unstable protein and suggesting loss of function was previously identified
Like many other large cities, Stockholm is facing increased urbanization with densification of infrastructure as a result. At the same time, implementation of the Baltic Sea Action Plan and the EU Water Framework Directive is expected to result in more stringent effluent quality demands. The current situation gives rise to new challenges for the municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This
The coexistence of competing species relies on niche partitioning. Competitive exclusion is likely inevitable at high niche overlap, but such divide between competitors may be bridged if environmental circumstances displace competitor niches to enhance partitioning. Foraging-niche dimension can be influenced by environmental characteristics, and if competitors react differently to such conditions,
The Zvejnieki burial ground in northern Latvia is one of the largest concentrations of burials from the Mesolithic and Neolithic in Northern Europe. The 308 burials, dominated by primary inhumation, excavated in the 1960s and 1970s have become important references for understanding the hunter-gatherer mortuary practices in the region. Recent excavations, implementing a taphonomy-focused archaeotha
Den ökade digitaliseringen i den offentliga sektorn har skapat utmaningar för sektorns cybersäkerhetsarbete. Rapporter har visat att en betydande del av kommuner och regioners IT utkontrakteras. En utmaning med IT-utkontraktering är att det blir svårare att granska cybersäkerheten i tjänsten. Denna studie undersöker hur kommuner och regioner arbetar med cybersäkerhet vid IT-utkontraktering. Flerta
En översikt av fossiliserad avföring (koproliter) och den information som kan utläsas ur denna fascinerande grupp av spårfossil har sammanställts. Utöver denna översikt har en nyligen funnen koprolit från ett ryggradsdjur undersökts. Exemplaret är daterat till campan och hittades vid lokalen Åsen i nordöstra Skåne, södra Sverige. Syfte med studien är att bidra till en fördjupad föreståelse för det
Combatting migrant smuggling has become a prominent objective of the European Union’s (‘EU’) migration policy in response to an increase of arrivals from 2015 onwards. The increasing number of arrivals also resulted in an increase in the activity of individuals, non-governmental organisations and other groups providing humanitarian assistance. This thesis explores the relationship between the prov
During the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, media coverage was heavily restricted and aligned with official narratives. Throughout the 44 days of fighting, the Armenian public was exposed almost exclusively to patriotic content—even from independent outlets—circulated under the constant presence of the official slogan, “We will win.” As a result, when the war ended in a significant defeat for the Arme
Enligt den gällande lydelsen av våldtäktsbestämmelsen går gränsen för straffbarhet vid huruvida målsägandens deltagande är frivilligt eller inte. Att fokus i bestämmelsen ligger på bristande frivillighet medför att svåra bedömningar måste göras av den tilltalades uppsåt. Det ska inte enbart göras en bedömning av den tilltalades mentala tillstånd vid gärningstillfället, utan dennes insikt ska även According to the current wording of the rape provision in Swedish law, the dividing line for criminal liability lies in whether the injured party’s participation was voluntary or not. The fact that the provision focuses on lack of consent entails that difficult assessments must be made regarding the defendant’s intent. It is not only a matter of assessing the defendant's mental state at the ti
Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur individer tolkar villkorssatser för symptom och sjukdom, framförallt när dessa beskrivs som “Om sjukdom, så symptom”, och sekundärt vid det omvända: “Om symptom så sjukdom”. Även sambandet mellan need for cognition och korrektheten i dessa tolkningar undersöktes. En kvantitativ studie genomfördes, där 50 deltagare svarade på en enkät. Utifrån båda villkorsformeThe aim of this study was to investigate how individuals interpret conditional statements about symptoms and disease, primarily when these are phrased as “If disease, then symptoms”, secondarily also in the reversed form: “If symptoms, then disease”. Apart from this was the correlation between need for cognition and the accuracy of these interpretations, also examined. A quantitative study was con
This thesis investigates the complexities of strategy implementation within a decentralized multinational corporation (MNC), focusing on how a global strategic directive aimed at enhancing profitability per unit is interpreted and implemented across diverse regional and site-level contexts. The core purpose is to identify critical factors that influence this process, understand their interconnecte
This study aimed to examine the experiences of professionals and volunteers working with older women (aged 65 and above) who are subjected to domestic violence, within women's shelters. Furthermore, the study acknowledges the specific challenges faced by older women in accessing support services and examines how shelters attempt to reach and assist them. Despite growing awareness of domestic v
Poxviruses are large, double-stranded DNA viruses that replicate directly in the cytoplasm of the host eukaryotic cell. During assembly of viral particle progeny, viral membrane precursors derived from the endoplasmic reticulum, exhibit stabilised open ends inside intermediate structures called crescents. The process of viral membrane biogenesis during poxvirus assembly remains poorly understood.
I takt med att skogsbränder blir vanligare och allvarligare till följd av klimatförändringarnas effekter, ökar behovet av effektiv riskhantering och förståelse för de bakomliggande faktorerna till uppkomst och spridning av skogsbränder. Denna rapport angriper riskhantering av skogsbränder ur två perspektiv – kvantitativt och kvalitativt. I huvudsak presenteras spatio-temporala modeller för intensiAs wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe due to the effects of climate change, there is a need for effective risk management and understanding of the drivers behind wildfire ignition and spread. This thesis tackles wildfire risk management from two angles- quantitatively and qualitatively. Primarily it presents spatio-temporal models of the wildfire ignition intensity and the size of bur
As geopolitical instability and war increasingly affect entrepreneurial ecosystems, there remains a critical gap in understanding how ventures sustain operations under conditions of active, prolonged conflict. While existing resilience literature often focuses on temporary crises or post-conflict recovery, this study explores how tech small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ukraine build oper
