Metonymy is one the most important literary devices in literature, and it has been widely studied with metaphor in literary studies and linguistics. Typically, metonymy has been regarded as a figurative meaning of a word versus its lexical meaning. However, it could be found that metonymy exists in every language for daily communication, and its usage is not limited to the literature. So, it plays
Beginning What and Ending Away is Rosa Barba’s first solo exhibition in Korea. On view is a film installation, three kinetic sculptures using celluloid, a wax sculpture and works from her series entitled Weavers, panels of woven film.Rosa Barba’s practice merges films, sculptures, installations, live-performances, text pieces, and publications that are grounded in the material and conceptual quali
The internationally renowned, prize-winning filmmaker and sculptor, Rosa Barba (b. 1972) will be resident artist at the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden from September 2023 until February 2024. Together with researchers of TUD Dresden University of Technology, she will be conducting research on Artificial Intelligence (AI).The following question drives Rosa Barba: “How can we develop an alternative archiv
The Hidden Conference is a film in three parts. Each projection investigates the storage facilities of a European museum, where artworks are kept while not on display. About the Discontinuous History of Things We See and Don’t See, projected in the first room, was filmed at the stores of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin in 2010. About the Shelf and Mantel, shown in the following gallery, was sho
BACKGROUND: Many studies have indicated that colon and rectal cancers differ in etiology and histology. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the associations of colon and rectal cancers with any other (discordant) cancer were site specific. DESIGN: A novel approach was implemented in which cancer risks were analyzed in families with increasing numbers of family members diagn
We present the microscopic model for collective effects, built on string–string interactions (string shoving and rope hadronization), recently implemented in the PYTHIA8 and DIPSY event generators. Rope hadronization is shown to give a good description of strangeness enhancement across pp, pA and AA collision systems, while string shoving qualitatively describes the ridge observed in pp collisions
Scholars continue to debate whether economic development affects regime type. This article argues that a clear relationship exists between development and the electoral component of democracy, but not – or at least less so – between development and other components of broader understandings of democracy. This is so because development enhances the power resources of citizens and elections provide
To identify genetic variants associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR), we performed a large multiethnic genome-wide association study. Discovery included eight European cohorts (n = 3,246) and seven African American cohorts (n = 2,611). We meta-analyzed across cohorts using inverse-variance weighting, with and without liability threshold modeling of glycemic control and duration of diabetes. Vari
Dorsoventrality in leaves has been shown to depend on the pre-patterned expression of KANADI and HD-ZIPIII genes within the plant shoot apical meristem (SAM). However, it has also been proposed that asymmetric auxin levels within initiating leaves help establish leaf polarity, based in part on observations of the DII auxin sensor. By analyzing and quantifying the expression of the R2D2 auxin senso
Background Norwood surgery provides a palliative surgical option for hypoplastic left heart syndrome and has been available in Sweden since 1993. The practice of prenatal ultrasound screening was gradually implemented in the same era, resulting in an increased prenatal detection rate. Our primary aims were to study changes in the incidence of live births, prenatal detection rate, and the terminati
Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is characterised by recurrent, complex and vivid visual hallucinations in the absence of cognitive dysfunction. Individuals with CBS usually maintain insight into the unreal nature of their hallucinatory experiences. There is a strong association between CBS and acquired visual loss and the most commonly described ocular pathology is age-related macular degeneration.
BACKGROUND: During recent years, stepwise approaches to health checks have been advanced as an alternative to general health checks. In 2013, we set up the Early Detection and Prevention project (Tidlig Opsporing og Forebyggelse, TOF) to develop a stepwise approach aimed at patients at high or moderate risk of a chronic disease. A novel feature was the use of a personal digital mailbox for recruit
Glycoproteins represent a group of important biomarkers for cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Selective detection of specific glycoproteins is an important step for early diagnosis. Traditional glycoprotein assays are mostly based on lectins, antibodies, and enzymes, biochemical reagents that are costly and require special cold chain storage and distribution. To address the shortcomings
