Over the last decades, linguistic gender-fair forms have become increasingly used by individuals and official institutions. In the French-speaking sphere, this has led to heated discussions among politicians and other stakeholders, some of which claim that these forms render texts illegible and inaccessible to the greater public. However, the processing of gender-fair forms in reading has been the

This bachelor's thesis examines the ambiguous fantastic in four short stories by Dino Buzzati: “Sette piani” (1937), “Il colombre” (1961), “Suicidio al parco” (1966), and “Il cane che ha visto Dio” (1958), drawn from the collections Sessanta racconti and Il colombre e altri cinquanta racconti. Drawing primarily on Tzvetan Todorov's seminal definition of the fantastic — characterised by the

Sexualbrott mot barn utgör en särskilt komplex kategori av brottmål där be-visningen ofta i huvudsak består av barnets utsaga. För att skydda barnet från ytterligare psykisk påfrestning härs barnet i regel inte muntligen inför rätten, utan utsagan förebringas genom videoförhör från förundersökningen. Denna ordning innebär avsteg från principerna om muntlighet och omedelbarhet vilka normalt utgör cSexual offences against children constitute a particularly complex category of criminal cases, in which the evidence often consists primarily of the child´s statement. In order to protect the child from further psychological strain, the child is generally not heard orally before the court. Instead, the statement is presented through video-recorded interviews from the preliminary investigat-ion. Th

Amelogenin, the most abundant protein in developing enamel, self-assembles into supramolecular structures that serve as templates for apatite growth. Recent studies revealed that amelogenin nanoribbons exhibit hallmark features of functional amyloids, yet the molecular mechanisms governing their formation remain incompletely understood. Here, we combine atomic force microscopy, transmission electr

Background and Objectives: The International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) Working Party (WP) on Red Cell Immunogenetics and Blood Group Terminology (RCI&BGT) held six business meetings between December 2021 and June 2024. This report describes the new blood group systems and antigens ratified during these meetings. Materials and Methods: Candidate systems and antigens were reviewed acco

This article contributes to literatures on local governments and just transitions by presenting a human rights–grounded framework for just transition and applying it to local governments. The framework holds that individuals have justified claims to protection of their most essential interests when those interests are threatened by climate policies, and it identifies four core responsibilities for

Den pågående energiomställningen har inneburit en överhalning av både policy och infrastruktur. Medan beslutsfattare och industrin letar efter nya tillvägagångssätt för att tackla alltmer växande problem som klimatomställningar, resiliens och energifattigdom, är sektorn under total transformation. Det finns en ökad medvetenhet om att energisektorn inte bara består av teknik, utan också av människoDen pågående energiomställningen har inneburit en överhalning av både policy och infrastruktur.

The particular properties of argumental compounds in Italian pose interesting theoretical challenges, and investigations of possible syntactic operations within this type of complex words have resulted in conflicting conclusions. Regarding compoundinternal anaphora, some researchers exclude the possibility that pronouns can refer to the non-head, while others do not. However, these findings have b

The present article analyses the relation between politics and historiography in communist Romania (1948- 1989). Since the beginning of the four-decades-long communist dictatorship, history has been turned into an ancillary discipline of the political discourse. The analysis of this peculiar kind of historiography starts from the processes that have determined its political nature and brought to i

Background: Around 70% of all ICU patients are treated with antibiotics whereas up to 30% are suggested as unnecessary. Measuring antibiotic consumption is a prerequisite to improving its use and the purpose of the present investigation was to explore the use of antibiotics in Swedish ICUs. Material and methods: Daily Defined Doses (DDDs) of antimicrobials delivered to Swedish ICUs, 2016–2018, wer

This thesis investigates the interactions that occur in extreme densities for high-energy collisions of subatomic particles. The theoretical models developed for this purpose are based on the Lund model. The developments have been implemented as a new module called Gleipnir to the Monte-Carlo event generator, P YTHIA . The two models developed are string shoving and rope hadronization, and can now

Objective: To investigate relationships of education and intracranial volume (ICV) (factors related to cognitive and brain reserve, respectively) with cognitive trajectories and mortality in individuals with biomarker-defined Alzheimer disease (AD).MethodsWe selected 1,298 β-amyloid-positive memory clinic patients with subjective cognitive decline (SCD, n = 142), mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Under the ISBT, the Working Party (WP) for Red Cell Immunogenetics and Blood Group Terminology is charged with ratifying blood group systems, antigens and alleles. This report presents the outcomes from four WP business meetings, one located in Basel in 2019 and three held as virtual meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021.MATERIALS AND METHODS: As in prev

Rubella virus encodes a nonstructural polyprotein with RNA polymerase, methyltransferase, and papain-like cysteine protease activities, along with a putative macrodomain of unknown function. Macrodomains bind ADP-ribose adducts, a post-translational modification that plays a key role in host-virus conflicts. Some macrodomains can also remove the mono-ADP-ribose adduct or degrade poly-ADP-ribose ch

The recent interest in characterizing 2D boron polymorphs has led to claims of the first stabilization of a honeycomb phase with conical Dirac-like electron dispersion. However, the synthesis of chemically stable, single, and homogeneous 2D boron phases still represents a significant experimental challenge. This is ascribed to the intrinsic boron electronic configuration that, at variance with car

A version of the Schelling model on Z is defined, where two types of agents are allocated on the sites. An agent prefers to be surrounded by other agents of its own type, and may choose to move if this is not the case. It then sends a request to an agent of opposite type chosen according to some given moving distribution and, if the move is beneficial for both agents, they swap location. We show t

This study aimed to evaluate the use of Pyrotechnically Generated Aerosols in electrical fires. To represent a common starting point for these fires, a cable fire ignited by a shortcut was chosen. In order to do this in a realistic way, a new method with heating the cables from the inside was used. This study examined whether the PGA has the ability to supress a cable fire inside an electrical cab
