If Hong Kong literature has a common denominator despite its plurality of forms and voices, it is the willingness to embrace and invite, at times even demand, multiple, contrasting and complicated readings.

Strategic critical minerals are essential materials that will dominate the energy transition and technological revolution. In the context of global climate change and industrial transformation, the geopolitical phenomenon of major powers competing for critical minerals has rapidly emerged, yet relevant research remains relatively limited. Therefore, this paper aims to summarize the geopolitical re

Som ett led i att homogenisera den kinesiska befolkningen, har den kinesiska regeringen under längre tid bedrivit en kampanj för att avskaffa Xinjiang-provinsens inhemska folkgrupp Uigurer. Massiva konverteringsläger har inrättats där Uigurerna tvingas avsäga sig sin kultur, etnicitet och religion. Situationen beskrivs av journalister och politiker som ett kulturellt folkmord, men trots begreppets

A presentation of the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee's "Reception Work Bulletin" (with selected translations) highlighting its usefulness as a source of information on ordinary people's everyday lives in the Cultural Revolution

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mikroorganismer finns runt omkring oss i miljön och mycket tyder på att de påverkar oss mer, och delvis på ett annat sätt, än vi tidigare trott. Vi vet alla att infektioner kan spridas genom inandning av luftburna patogena mikroorganismer. Men luftburna mikrober kan även ge andra sjukdomar. Det är t.ex välkänt att lantbrukare riskerar att drabbas av symptom i luftvägarnMicroorganisms are ubiquitous in indoor air and epidemiological data suggest that inhalation of microbes and/or their products adhered on air–borne dust particles can impair well–being and health. In the present thesis microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) and cellular markers were studied by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS). By using solid phase microextraction (SPME) combined

The future overall trends of desalination cost are estimated using least-square fitting method based on Excel, and four major impact factors, named technology, feed water, energy sources and capacity, are discussed and prospected. Five different types of desalination technology are presented and bench-marked for long-term use. RO and MSF are dominant technologies. Six different input water sources

The many forms of vasculitis are characterized by inflammation of blood vessels, leading to potentially long-term sequelae including vision loss, aneurysm formation and kidney failure. Accurate estimation of the incidence and prevalence has been hampered by the absence of reliable diagnostic criteria and the rarity of these conditions; however, much progress has been made over the past two decades

Mikroplast har varit ett stort föroreningsproblem sedan början av plastens massproduktion på 1950-talet. Mikroplast bildas dels när plastmaterial avsiktligt skapas för att vara del av skönhetsprodukter och liknande och dels oavsiktligt, när plast bryts ner till mindre partiklar på grund av solljus, vind och regn. Detta kallas för primär respektive sekundär mikro-plast. Mikroplast är ett stort probMicroplastics (MPs) are a major pollution concern since the start of the mass produc-tion of plastics in the 1950s. MPs form A) when plastics are produced intentionally to be part of beauty products and B) when plastics are broken down into smaller particles by sunlight, wind, and rain. This is called primary and secondary microplastics, respectively. MPs are a concern because they can carry toxic

Purpose - To investigate if the forensic accounting education offered by universities provides the knowledge and skills that are required by the forensic accounting profession. Methodology - First, a qualitative content analysis of curriculums, with a mix between a deductive and inductive approach, is conducted. Second, an inductive quantitative content analysis of job advertisements is administe

Psychologists have until lately been rather likeminded when it comes to how the human brain is interpreting and processing different types of information. We react in certain ways when exposed to certain information but considering those reactions stem from experiments mainly conducted on Americans is not something that is considered to be of importance. Whereas these statements tend to hold true

Tropiska skogar utsätts för mer intensiva och frekventa torkor. Torkor påverkar tillväxt och kollagring i skogen, samt ökar risken för trädödlighet. Det finns flera hypoteser om mekanismerna bakom dödlighet under torka. Två av de vanligaste är något som kallas kolsvält och kavitation. Det är oklart vilken av dessa två mekanismer som inträffar först i tropiska träd under långvarig torka. ExperimentTropical forests experience more intense and frequent droughts. Droughts affect mortality in trees, growth rate and carbon storage in the forest. There are several hypotheses of the mechanisms behind tree mortality during drought. Two of the most common ones are carbon starvation and hydraulic failure. It is unclear which of these mechanisms occur first in tropical trees during long term drought.
