The project offers a study of German-Jewish thought by examining Walter Benjamin’s notion of law through the interpretive framework of the Talmud. The widely recognised locus of Benjamin's discussion of law is his essay Toward the Critique of Violence. In his later essays on Kafka, however, Benjamin develops an alternative to the familiar negative notion of law found in the Critique, a development

This article focuses on the structural establishment of Swedish women’s ice hockey during the early 1980s and the years leading up to the first organised women’s hockey league in Sweden. Mainly, the article is based on archive material from The Swedish Ice Hockey Association, especially two committees that were appointed to work to establish women’s hockey between the years of 1981 and 1984: The WThis article focuses on the structural establishment of Swedish women’s icehockey during the early 1980s and the years leading up to the first organisedwomen’s hockey league in Sweden.

Alpha-synuclein (aSyn) post-translational modifications (PTM), especially phosphorylation at serine 129 and C-terminal truncations, are highly enriched in Lewy bodies (LB), Lewy neurites, and other pathological aggregates in Parkinson’s disease and synucleinopathies. However, the precise role of these PTM in pathology formation, neurodegeneration, and pathology spreading remains unclear. Here, we

Darknet constitutes a part of the internet with a reputation for allowing deviance and criminality. In short, it is often understood as a place where anything goes. Current research on Darknet tends to focus on illicit cryptomarkets, however in this ongoing doctoral research project, I explore how user posts and behaviors are informally and formally controlled and shaped on Darknet forums.

Jaboticaba (Plinia jaboticaba) is an underutilized Brazilian berry and a source of dietary fiber, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, and ellagic acid derivatives. Non-clinical studies have shown the potential of jaboticaba to alleviate insulin resistance, low-grade inflammation, and obesity-related cognitive decline, although clinical evidence remains limited. A clinical study was conducted to investigate wh

Digital Transformations of Illicit Drug Markets: Reconfiguration and Continuity is authored by leading experts in the field of illicit drug sourcing, who draw on their interdisciplinary backgrounds to illustrate how modern technologies are embedded within our social structures. Since the digital (r)evolution, the sourcing of illicit drugs now takes place through smartphones, encryption, social med

Comprehensive epigenomic studies in multiple myeloma (MM) that unravel the connections between major epigenetic regulators, their intertwined collaboration and the potential of combinatorial targeting remain limited. Utilizing ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, and DNA methylation (DNAme) data, we generated whole-genome chromatin annotations from normal plasma cells and MM patients, revealing epigenomic

Background and purpose: Angiosarcoma (AS), a rare and highly malignant tumour, can manifest spontaneously (primary AS, pAS) or secondary to previous radiation, exposure to chemical agents or Stewart-Treves syndrome (secondary AS, sAS). The aim of this study was to characterise the clinical presentation, management, treatment and outcome—including local recurrence, metastasis and overall survival—a

When it comes to random walk on the integers Z, the arguably first step of generalization beyond simple random walk is the class of one-sidedly continuous random walk, where the stepsize in only one direction is bounded by 1. Moreover, the time until state 0 is hit by left-continuous random walk on Z started at 1 has a direct connection to the total progeny in branching processes. In the analysis

Background: During the transition to parenthood, fathers face psychosocial changes that are accompanied by uncertainty and insecurity. Feelings of insecurity may affect fathers’ experiences of pregnancy and childbirth, adjustment to the paternal role, and bonding with their child. There is a need to better understand fathers’ experiences of security and the causal and constitutional factors involv

This paper examines the impact of Germany’s 9-Euro-Ticket and itssuccessor, the German Ticket (49 €), on public transportation usage,environmental benefits, and social equity, while exploring the feasibility ofimplementing a similar model in Sweden. The 9-Euro-Ticket, introduced in2022 as a temporary measure to alleviate economic strain from rising energycosts, significantly increased public trans

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, is primarily known as a respiratory disease. The continued study of the disease has shown that long-term COVID-19 symptoms include persisting effects of the virus on the brain when the infection is over, possibly even leading to neurodegeneration. However, the exact mechanisms of

Separating how surface and subsurface species affect catalytic function is a challenging task in heterogeneous catalysis, particularly when deposition and segregation take place at reaction conditions. Here, we report on an operando approach to establish surface/subsurface/function correlations. Using temperature modulations we oscillate carbon deposition and segregation over a Pd catalyst. Cataly

The PD-AGE international task force underscores the pivotal role that non-human primate (NHP) models play in advancing our understanding of Parkinson's disease (PD) and ageing. Due to their close genetic, anatomical, and behavioural similarity to humans, NHPs uniquely enable translational research to bridge basic science towards clinical application. They are indispensable for modelling the comple

The co-occurrence of α-synuclein (αSyn) and Tau in synucleinopathies and tauopathies suggests a complex interplay between these proteins. Their cross-seeding enhances fibrillization, leading to the formation of diverse amyloid-specific structures enriched with β-sheets, which may influence their biological functions. However, existing tools cannot differentiate structural polymorphs directly in ce

Objectives: While high socioeconomic status (SES) indicators generally protect against mental health issues such as mood disorders in overall populations, evidence suggests that these protective effects might be attenuated for marginalized groups such as immigrants, in comparison to groups who are more socially privileged. This phenomenon is referred to as Marginalization-related Diminished Return

Coherent Diffraction Imaging (CDI) is an experimental technique to image isolated structures by recording the scattered light. The sample density can be recovered from the scattered field through a Fourier Transform operation. However, the phase of the field is lost during the measurement and has to be algorithmically retrieved. Here we present SPRING, an analysis framework tailored to X-ray Free

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended by guidelines to evaluate the severity of brain ischemia after cardiac arrest for functional outcome prediction. However, standardized assessment criteria are lacking. We have developed a semi-quantitative Cardiac Arrest Brain Ischemia (CABI) score to assess the extension of brain ischemia on MRI. Objectives: To evaluate the prognostic pe

Background: Despite its common early onset, little is known about the prevalence and clinical presentation of avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in very young children, hindering early identification and intervention. Differentiating ARFID from normative selective eating is particularly challenging, yet validated parent-reported screening tools are lacking. This study aimed to estim
