In this paper, we investigate the Scandinavian Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age of Kinnekulle in southwestern Sweden. The above-mentioned periods in the study area are poorly understood and the archaeological record consists of a few stray finds and a concentration of 20 gallery graves. This study focuses on three of the gallery graves where commingled skeletons from successive burials were rec
Background and purposeDeep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) increases lung volume and can potentially reduce treatment-related toxicity in locally advanced lung cancer. We estimated geometric uncertainties in visually guided voluntary DIBH and derived the appropriate treatment margins for different image-guidance strategies.Material and methodsSeventeen patients were included prospectively. An optic
Immanuel Kant wrote that the Conflict of the Faculties is a constant struggle for primacy that causes strife and ultimately undermines scholarly solidarity. His argument is a complex one, as it relates to the very ability of how to judge proper authority, what constitutes scientific truth, and how to create respect amongst a community of people representing divergent opinions. Whilst such consider
Dzisiejszy poziom cyrkulacji ludzi i kapitału sprawia, że pewne, z pozoru ulotnespołeczności i przestrzenie wytwarzane są w oparciu o wspólne wartości i preferowany styl życia. Problematyka niepewności oraz krótkotrwałości silnie i gruntownie łączy się z fenomenem turystyki. Jedną z podstawowych potrzeb podróżujących jest poszukiwanie i doświadczenie autentyczności w odwiedzanym miejscu (Urry, 200
Vaccination is the most cost-effective way of preventing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) although there was a considerable delay in its institution in Tanzania. This study assessed health care workers' (HCWs) self-perceived infection risk and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines. A concurrent embedded, mixed methods design was utilized to collect data among HCWs in seven Tanzanian regions. Quantitative
Fjord systems are typically affected by low-oxygen conditions, which are increasing in extent and severity, forced by ongoing global changes. Fjord sedimentary records can provide high temporal resolution archives to aid our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and impacts of current deoxygenation. However, such archives can only be interpreted with well-calibrated proxies. Bottom-water oxyg
Gaze following refers to the ability to co-orient with others’ gaze directions. Ontogenetic studies on gaze following in animals have predominantly used human experimenters as demonstrators. It is, however, likely that developing animals are initially more attuned to individuals from their own species, which might result in differences in the ontogenetic onset of gaze following with human and cons
Taking someone else’s visual perspective marks an evolutionary shift in the formation of advanced social cognition. It enables using others’ attention to discover otherwise hidden aspects of the surroundings and is foundational for human communication and understanding of others. Visual perspective taking has also been found in some other primates, a few songbirds, and some canids. However, despit

Research into and widespread knowledge about the Assyrian Genocide, called Seyfo by Assyrians, is a recent phenomenon. Assyrians themselves have always known of the tragic events that occurred during the First World War, but it took some time before these were conceptualized as genocide and became an important element in the collective memory of the people that demanded recognition. In this articl
Cycling has been increasing in popularity in many countries, including the Republic of Ireland. Concurrently, the modal share of cyclist casualties has been increasing. However, there has been limited analysis of the pre-crash manoeuvres and impact configurations of cyclist collisions in Ireland, which inhibits the prioritization of engineering solutions. Accordingly, in this study, police investi
Urban rivers in Asian developing countries are becoming increasingly polluted due to industrialization and lacking treatment of wastewater. We investigated toxicity and likely sources of pollutants for the urban Shitalakshaya River, Bangladesh. Physiochemical variables and heavy metals were examined in water and sediment of an urban river section in Narayanganj City. The spatial distribution of qu
Estimating crop evapotranspiration (ETa) is an important requirement for a rational assessment and management of water resources. The various remote sensing products allow the determination of crops’ biophysical variables integrated in the evaluation of ETa by using surface energy balance (SEB) models. This study compares ETa estimated by the simplified surface energy balance index (S-SEBI) using
The building sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gases, consuming significant energy and available resources. Energy renovation of buildings is an effective strategy for decarbonisation, as it lowers operational energy and avoids the embodied impact of new constructions. To be successful, the energy renovation process requires meaningful building models. However, the time and costs associa
Therapy resistance remains one of the major challenges for cancer treatment that largely limits treatment benefits and patient survival. The underlying mechanisms that lead to therapy resistance are highly complicated because of the specificity to the cancer subtype and therapy. The expression of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL2 has been shown to be deregulated in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemi
The recent emergence of deep learning and computer vision-based 3D human pose estimation presents opportunities for a form of markerless motion-capture. State-of-the-art approaches have achieved remarkable accuracy in predicting global and relative joint positions, however, many potential applications require information on joint orientations, e.g., in the fields of biomechanics. Furthermore, me
The self-protective effects of active response in unplanned falls is a well-established, yet under-researched area. Our recent study demonstrated how single cyclist falls are prevalent (i.e., cyclist road traffic collisions not involving another road user), and that active response is of particular importance in these cases. This phenomenon has not been considered in previous computational modelli
Cyclist underreporting of lower severity and single cyclist collisions to police results in the underestimation of the societal costs of lower severity and single cyclist collisions. Prevention strategies for these types of collisions are becoming a popular area of research, and video-based approaches have obvious potential for these cases, allowing for detailed analyses of underreported lower s
