Background and aim The paper is based on a study of hunting tourism enterprising in Sweden. The paper demonstrates how game meat is ascribed different, sometimes conflicting values in the moral economy of commercial hunting and identifies an emerging process of servitization of the game meat. Recreational hunting in Sweden can be described as embedded in two different but overlapping cultural and

Animal movement is a multifaceted process that occurs for multiple reasons with powerful consequences for food web and ecosystem dynamics. New paradigms and technical innovations have recently pervaded the field, providing increasingly powerful means to deliver fine-scale movement data, attracting renewed interest. Specifically in the aquatic environment, tracking with acoustic telemetry now provi

Contrasting Greenland and Antarctic temperatures during the last glacial period (115,000 to 11,650 years ago) are thought to have been driven by imbalances in the rates of formation of North Atlantic and Antarctic Deep Water (the 'bipolar seesaw'). Here we exploit a bidecadally resolved 14C data set obtained from New Zealand kauri (Agathis australis) to undertake high-precision alignment of key cl

Recent work has shown that pressures inside dsDNA phage capsids can be as high as many tens of atmospheres; it is this pressure that is responsible for initiation of the delivery of phage genomes to host cells. The forces driving ejection of the genome have been shown to decrease monotonically as ejection proceeds, and hence to be strongly dependent on the genome length. Here we investigate the

PRELP (proline, arginine-rich end leucine-rich repeat protein) is an extracellular matrix leucine-rich repeat protein. The amino-terminal region of PRELP differs from that of other leucine-rich repeat proteins in containing a high number of proline and arginine residues. The clustered proline and basic residues are conserved in rat, bovine, and human PRELP. Although the function of PRELP is not ye

During oxygen evolution, the Mn cluster in Photosystem II cycles through five oxidation states, S0-S4. S0 and S2 are paramagnetic, and can be monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Recently a new EPR signal from the S0 state was discovered [Åhrling et al. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 13148-13152, Messinger et al. (1997) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 119, 11349-11350]. Here, we present a well-resolved

Stem cell treatments for neurodegenerative diseases are expected to reach clinical trials soon. Most of the approaches currently under development involve transplantation of immature progenitors that subsequently undergo phenotypic and functional maturation in vivo, and predicting the long-term graft outcome already at the progenitor stage remains a challenge. Here, we took an unbiased approach to

Modelling tools used in impact assessment procedures can be regarded as tools for communication between science and policy. In order to create an integrated system for modelling not only the scientific components have to be in place but also the science/policy interfaces in the assessment procedures have to be identified and their social dynamics understood.To make a system like SEAMLESS Integrate

For many multivariable problems there are no efficient algorithms for finding solutions. To this day, conventional electronic computers mainly solve problems in a sequential manner. This sequential operation prevents problem-solving within a reasonable time-frame due to superpolynomial, and sometimes even exponential, time complexities. Developing powerful parallel computation techniques has there

The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Task Forces (TFs) on Quality of Life (QoL) and Patient Oriented Outcomes, Melanoma and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) present a review of the literature and position statement on health-related (HR) QoL assessment in skin cancer patients. A literature search was carried out to identify publications since 1980 that included information abo

This paper explores the relation between strategic climate communication and the organization of common affects in the constitution of the affective atmospheres of vulnerable urban places. As such, it investigates how political and industrial actors’ strategic framings of the climate crisis imply not merely a preferential understanding of such crisis, but also its preferential affective experience

The continuous fabrication via membrane emulsification of stable microcapsules using renewable, biodegradable biopolymer wall materials keratin and chitosan is reported here for the first time. Microcapsule formation was based on opposite charge interactions between keratin and chitosan, which formed polyelectrolyte complexes when solutions were mixed at pH 5.5. Interfacial complexation was induce

Pediatric complex regional pain syndrome (pCRPS) is a rare, painful state that often occurs as a complication following physical trauma. Diagnosis and treatment require specialist expertise in a multidisciplinary setting. Treatment is focused on pain reduction and improvement in function, which differs from the treatment of adult CRPS. We performed a cross-sectional survey with the aim of identify

Greenlanders in Denmark are often overlooked in the spheres of the Danish society. One stereotypical image of the Greenlander has become ingrained to be almost commonsensical in its use in the Danish language and media. That is the Greenlander as the loser in Danish society, someone who is either drunk, homeless, or destitute. Although some Greenlanders suffer from these issues, the majority of th

Some say that the fourth industrial revolution is here now that machines can communicate with each other. This combination of Internet of Things (IoT) with industrial machines has been labeled Industry 4.0. Alfa Laval, manufacturer of liquid separators, together with B&R, an industrial automation company, want to explore the possibilities with Industry 4.0 and especially how Augmented Reality

“Porn is not for girls” – a qualitative study concerning how pornography affect young women in shaping their identities The aim of this study is to enrich the understanding of how pornography affects young women. What does it mean to be female? How do young women relate and communicate about pornography? What kind of influence does pornography have on young women’s identity development? Is pornog

The independent engineer In the current financial crises, a vacant job is an article in short supply. Good competence and academic titles are no longer a guarantee to receive an employment after examination. These circumstances require a capacity to see opportunities outside the box. When the labor market no longer can offer any jobs, there is two alternatives. Await an opportunity or create an op

Handeln med varumärkesförfalskade produkter, som länge har ansetts som en ganska harmlös företeelse som konsumenten varit väl införstådd med, har utvecklats till en väloljad miljardindustri där såväl rättighetsinnehavaren, samhället och konsumenten riskerar att lida skada. De varumärkesförfalskade produkterna består inte längre av dåligt imiterade solglasögon utan av professionellt utformade kopioCounterfeiting has long been considered a rather harmless phenomenon. However, counterfeiting has evolved from a small-scale activity into one on an industrial scale. It has come to pose a serious threat, not only to the interests of the right holder, but to the consumers and the society as a whole. Counterfeit products are no longer just poorly crafted copies of sunglasses; today they are profess
