Do we owe anything to our genetic relatives qua genetic relatives? The philosophical literature has primarily addressed this question in the context of procreation. But genetic matching databases raise the question of whether we owe anything to previously unknown genetic relatives. This article argues that influential philosophical arguments regarding moral claims to know one’s genetic origins (so
Purpose: To empirically explore and describe the process and practices of managing product returns in Internet retailing.Design/methodology/approach: A multiple case study involving twelve e-commerce firms and four logistics service providers. Using semi-structured interviews, documentation, and observations as an integrative data collection approach to gain a comprehensive managerial and operatio
This article introduces the special issue on digital disruption in diplomacy. We propose a new research agenda, advancing novel conceptualisations and empirical insights into the hybrid nature of contemporary diplomatic practices in a broad range of areas such as peace-making, inter-state signalling, domestic politics, digital communication, public diplomacy and popular culture. Emphasising the ma
Innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming cities in unprecedented ways. In this chapter, we unpack the connections between AI and the urban by introducing the concept of urban AI and reflecting on its most prominent incarnations: autonomous vehicles, urban robots, city brains and urban software agents. We then illustrate how the emergence of urban AI is producing a new urbanism th
This book uses a unique typology of ten core drivers of injustice to explore and question common assumptions around what urban sustainability means, how it can be implemented, and how it is manifested in or driven by urban interventions that hinge on claims of sustainability.Aligned with critical environmental justice studies, the book highlights the contradictions of urban sustainability in relat
Accurate and rapid detection of nucleic acid sequences is of utmost importance in various fields, including disease monitoring, clinical treatment, gene analysis and drug discovery. In this study, we developed a "turn-on" fluorescence biosensor that enables simple and highly efficient detection of nucleic acid biomarkers. Our approach involves the utilization of 6-carboxyfluorescein modified singl
Temperature is a crucial parameter of gas flow fields. Here, we present a novel thermometry technique for gas flow based on femtosecond laser-induced cyano (CN) luminescence. Specifically, a femtosecond laser with a central wavelength of 267 nm is used to induce CN violet emissions in a nitrogen flow seeded with a trace amount of methane. The spectral peak of CN B2Σ+- X2Σ+ (0,0) transitions shift
Local stellar motions are expected, and have been shown, to include signatures of the Galaxy’s past dynamical evolution. These are typically divided into the disc, which shows the dynamical effects of spiral arms and the bar, and the stellar halo, with structures thought to be debris from past mergers. We use Gaia Data Release 3 to select large samples of these populations without limiting them to
The formation and evolution of galaxies have proved sensitive to the inclusion of stellar feedback, which is therefore crucial to any successful galaxy model. We present INFERNO, a new model for hydrodynamic simulations of galaxies, which incorporates resolved stellar objects with star-by-star calculations of when and where the injection of enriched material, momentum, and energy takes place.

Introduction: Contact allergy to nickel (Ni) is a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction mediated by Ni-reactive T cells producing the hallmark cytokines of several T-helper cell (Th) populations including IFN-γ(Th1), IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 (Th2), and IL-17A (Th17). IL-22-expressing CD4+ cells, which could be either Th17 co-expressing IL-22 or Th22, expressing IL-22 in the absence of IL-17A, have al
Stød is a syllable rhyme prosody that is realized as creaky voice, and its distributionis partly predictable. To examine listeners’ implicit knowledge of the complicatednature of stød distribution, we conducted a lexical decision task, investigating anirregularly behaving group of nouns in which stød distribution is unpredictable.We hypothesized that listeners would be the most surprised by deviat
BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional (3D) printing of highly porous orthopaedic implants aims to promote better osseointegration, thus preventing aseptic loosening. However, short-term radiostereometric analysis (RSA) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has shown higher initial migration of cementless 3D-printed tibial components compared with their cemented counterparts. Therefore, critical evaluation o
We demonstrated the use of a neutron grating interferometer setup (nGI) with a significantly improved contrast-to-noise ratio of the operando dark-field (DF) contrast visualization of water in gas diffusion media (GDM). The nGI parameters were optimized in such a way that we could perform DF imaging of a fully operational fuel cell including two GDM layers (anode and cathode side). The DF contrast
This chapter looks at three different cases, which extend from literature to protest, to examine the multimodality of translation and translanguaging in intercultural communication. The cases include excerpts from the novel On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous, the graphic novel Persepolis and practices of lip-sewing among refugees, as documented in online media. They represent different communicative
In the face of the triple planetary crisis, which includes climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation, there is growing recognition that the environment needs to be re-evaluated and better protected. Recent developments, such as a values assessment by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES),1 the concept of biocultural right
Background and purpose — Patient-reported outcome (PRO) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients with high body mass index (BMI) is controversial. We compared pain, function, quality of life, general health, and satisfaction among different BMI categories preoperatively and 1 year after primary TKA. Patients and methods — 4,318 patients were operated with a TKA for knee osteoarthritis in the Regi
