The dissertation Deductionis coloniarum rationes & causae, submitted at Uppsala University in 1668 under the presidency of Johannes Schefferus, appears to be the firstcontribution to the Swedish discourse on the subject of colonisation and colonialism. In this paper, a translation of the text is presented with a commentary and a list of sources. In an introduction to the translation, which dis
Ever-increasing global water shortages necessitate more advanced and cost-effective water purification methods. Herein, a novel slow filtration system using natural raw zeolite is proposed as an alternative to traditional quartz sand as a filter medium. The system demonstrates excellent performance in reducing turbidity and removing methylene blue (MB). The natural zeolite-based filtration system
A central challenge in linguistics pertains to understanding how the polished, static form of a written text emerges from the messy, moment-by-moment decisions of the writer. While the structures of finished texts have been extensively theorized, and the real-time cognitive processes of writing have been widely studied, the relationship between these real-time processes and the functional linguist
This article analyzes the effects of self-balancing in multiactive bridge converters. Therefore, it proposes a time-domain approach to model the dynamics of multiwinding transformer-based multilevel dc/dc converter, including self-balancing. In previous research, multiwinding transformers have been modeled using average-based power transfer models. These models, while simple, have no direct intuit
Background and Objectives: Previous studies have suggested associations between pain perception and psychological factors such as mood, distress, fatigue, and quality of life. However, these factors and their relationship to pain sensitivity have typically been investigated in isolation and with insufficient sample sizes. To address these limitations, we examine the interplay between distinct psyc
A novel family of symmetric squaramide-based LMWGs has been synthesised, functionalized with both dansyl moieties and alkyl chain spacers of different lengths (n = 3 and n = 4 named L1 and L2, respectively). L1 and L2 are able to form hydrogels in the DMSO : H2O mixture in different ratios and concentrations. The gels obtained were characterized by means of rheology, TEM and small angle X-ray scat
Considering the distinct etiological pathways and molecular characteristics of different lung cancer subtypes, it is crucial to develop subtype-specific prevention strategies and therapeutic targets. This study aimed to identify protein biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for specific subtypes of lung cancer by integrating population-based observational studies and Mendelian randomisation
Chants for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi during Iran’s nationwide protests are not expressions of nostalgia but demands for political legitimacy and continuity. As Iran’s opposition remains fragmented and burdened by past violence, many Iranians increasingly look to institutional legitimacy rather than ideology. The article argues that legitimacy will be the decisive factor shaping Iran’s potential tr
What is the role of deictic gestures in expressing affective valence, and can such gestures serve as an indicator of awareness in choice making? To examine this, we analyzed participants’ deictic gestures toward preferred and non-preferred picture alternatives in an experimental choice justification task. The task involved manipulation: in some trials, participants were presented with the rejected
The special degeneracy which occurs in the harmonic-oscillator potential when two of the frequencies have ratios of small integer numbers is exploited. Favored shell energies occur for particle numbers which vary with the third frequency. Applications to realistic nuclear potentials show that this degeneracy leads to special shell effects for axial shapes (1:1 ratio) but also for the 2:1 ratio exe
We study the Coulomb chain where particles are restricted to one dimension and experience three-dimensional Coulomb interactions with their nearest and next-to-nearest neighbours. The distances between consecutive particles are treated as random variables. It is shown that the correlation between clusters of consecutive variables decay exponentially with the number of variables separating them. Th
Integrated Continuous Biomanufacturing reduces manufacturing costs while maintaining product quality. A key contributor to high biopharmaceutical costs, specifically monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), is chromatography. Protein A ligands are usually preferred but still expensive in the manufacturing context, and batch chromatography under-utilizes the columns' capacity, compromising productivity to mai
We provide the theoretical foundation for the recent tests of equal forecast accuracy and encompassing by Pitarakis (2023) and Pitarakis (2025), when the competing forecast specification is that of a factor-augmented regression model. This should be of interest to practitioners, as there is no theory justifying the use of these simple and powerful tests in such a context. In pursuit of this, we em
The aim of this study was to describe prerequisites for online collaboration for user participation in co-design of online digital services as perceived by people with impairments and to develop requirements for how online collaboration should be designed to be accessible for all participants. An exploratory study was conducted in parallel to activities in two co-design projects. Researchers, acce
Computational analysis of large-scale metagenomics sequencing datasets provides valuable isolate-level taxonomic and functional insights from complex microbial communities. However, the ever-expanding ecosystem of metagenomics-specific methods and file formats makes designing scalable workflows and seamlessly exploring output data increasingly challenging. Although one-click bioinformatics pipelin
In today’s volatile and changing environment employment, innovation, and economic growth are basic characteristics of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to investigate the challenges and enablers of digitalization in SMEs. Expert responses provide numerical weights to 6 barriers and 5 alternatives using Super Decisions v3.2 software. The results sho
Recent upgrades in synchrotron radiation facilities, which now produce highly brilliant and coherent beams, result in a broader array of experiments challenging the available detectors. In X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) experiments, detector performance is often a limiting factor, especially with the high photon fluxes from upgraded facilities. Within this context, a consortium of European
