We present a comprehensive study of the short-ranged nuclear and magnetic order in the two-dimensional spin glass, Mn0.5Fe0.5PS3. Nuclear neutron scattering data reveal a random distribution of Mn2+ and Fe2+ ions within the honeycomb layers, which gives rise to a spin glass state through inducing competition between neighboring exchange interactions, indicated in magnetic susceptibility data by a
To examine the relationship between bodily disconnection and two indicators of late life well-being – depressive symptoms and meaning in life (MIL) – among older adults residing in nursing homes. Psycho-gerontological research has begun to show increased interest in the physical dimension of ageing – the ageing body – and has focused on older adults’ subjective experiences of their bodies. These s
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Allt fler rapporter har kommit under de senaste åren som visar på att våg- och stormklimatet har förvärrats sedan 1960-talet. Detta har oroat bland andra återförsäkringsbolag som har betalat ut allt mer pengar till stormrelaterade skador de senaste åren. Andra undersökningar har visat att det nuvarande storm- och vågklimatet inte är värre än det var i början av The effects of a global climatic change on the wind climate of northwestern Europe are investigated with the aid of a regional climate model. There have up to date been few studies of how the wind climate will react to a greenhouse gas warming. Those that have been done are mostly global scale studies and centered on changes in storm activity during the winter season. I’m using data from a regiona
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Den ökande växthuseffekten, med påföljande klimatförändringar, framträder alltmer som ett av vår tids största miljöproblem. På grund av människans industriella och agrikulturella aktiviteter har atmosfärskoncentrationen av de viktiga växthusgaserna koldioxid (CO2), metan (CH4) och lustgas (N2O) ökat drastiskt. Med hjälp av modeller och beräkningar förutspås det Northern peatlands are important in the context of the climate change. Since they comprise huge amounts of soil organic carbon and are found where the most significant greenhouse warming is predicted, they have the potential to exert major feedback effects on the global warming. Studies of the greenhouse gas exchange in northern peatlands have mainly focused on the growing season when the soil is
OBJECTIVE: To describe the distribution of HIV-1 variants in population-based national surveys conducted in sub-Saharan African countries between 2015 and 2022.DESIGN: Multicountry analysis.METHODS: Sixteen population-based national surveys, conducted between 2015 and 2022, were analyzed. Survey participants were eligible if HIV genotyping was successful. In most countries, people with HIV (PWH) w
PurposeWelfare technology (WT) intends to promote engagement in everyday activities and the well-being of older adults at risk of developing or already having impairments. However, its effectiveness depends on how older adults experience and interact with WT. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between various forms of WT user experience (perceived usability, perceived control,
Objective: Mounting evidence supports an association between the intestinal microbiota and diverse pulmonary pathologies (ie, gut-lung axis). Although intestinal dysbiosis is a feature of systemic sclerosis (SSc), no prior studies have investigated the relationship between intestinal microbiota and SSc-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) in a multinational cohort. This study aimed to charac
Pharmaceutical packaging has an increasing importance in aging societies, wherepeople depend on medicines for their own care and well-being. Previous research shows that pharmaceutical packaging is a source of uncertainties, confusion, and daily struggles. The challenges experienced by users are extensive; the pharmaceutical industry needs to respond with packaging innovation. To address these com
The international standard ISO 22400 has defined a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to evaluate the performance of manufacturing operation. However, the defined KPIs seem to be inspired from the discrete production context, and hence do not automatically fit the process industry context. The process industry is defined as the industry in which the raw material undergoes conversion during a
Value is an inescapable part of the human experience and what life must be like for a conscious and feeling person. Philosophical questions about value are therefore naturally invited: What sort of thing would value be if it were part of the furniture of the world? How should we understand the relations that value is thought to stand in to other things? In a broad sense, these are formal questions
The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide is well established as a key player in the pathogenesis of migraine. Clinical studies show calcitonin gene-related peptide levels correlate with migraine attacks, and decreases in this neuropeptide can indicate antimigraine therapy effectiveness. Research has revealed a wide distribution of expression sites for calcitonin gene-related peptide in the
The question of how to punctuate John 1:3-4 has confounded both ancient and modern readers. Various textual and linguistic arguments have been used to support one of at least four suggestions about how to punctuate the passage. The present state of research, which supports both Reading A (belongs to the sentence in 1:4) and Reading B (belongs to the sentence in 1:3), is based primarily on textual
This doctoral dissertation investigates how Plato elaborates and incorporates the works of the poets in the preludes to the laws. It is argued that the poetic style of the preludes represents a key element for the Athenian’s purpose of persuading the citizens of Magnesia to spontaneously abide to the new legislation that is being laid out.The analysis is divided in four chapters. Chapter 1 discuss
The Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane contains lipopolysaccharide, which potently stimulates the mammalian innate immune response. This involves a relay of specialized complexes culminating in transfer of lipopolysaccharide from CD14 to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and its co-receptor MD-2 on the cell surface, leading to activation of downstream inflammatory responses. In this study we develop
This In Memoriam presents the life of Simone Veil, an influential French politician, remembered for a law that made abortion legal in 1974. Simone Veil's contribution to the rights of women is featured as an instance of parrhesia (Foucault, 2011) that was able to establish a new regime of truth about the body, sexuality, and reproductive capacities of French women.
A novel mobile laser radar system was used for mapping gaseous atomic mercury (Hg0) atmospheric pollution in the Wanshan district, south of Tongren City, Guizhou Province, China. This area is heavily impacted by legacy mercury from now abandoned mining activities. Differential absorption lidar measurements were supplemented by localized point monitoring using a Lumex RA-915M Zeeman modulation merc
The introduction to this special issue argues that International Relations (IR) needs to give greater consideration to the existential and psychological implications of the accelerating climate crisis. Starting from debates about the disciplinary suitability of IR to meaningfully tackle an issue as all-encompassing as climate change, this introduction gives a short overview of how the problem of c
The excitation annihilation and anisotropy kinetics in the B850 ring were studied. As a result, a new insight into the problem of exciton coherence in photosynthetic light harvesting was obtained.
