The direct conversion of methane to methanol (DCMM) under continuous flow and atmospheric pressure offers notable environmental benefits and industrial promise, but remains a long-standing challenge due to the difficulty of activating CH4while avoiding overoxidation of methanol. Here, we demonstrate that pure ceria (CeO2), without any metal promoters, enables gas-phase DCMM with up to 80% selectiv

Primary care professionals are often the first line of support for children and adolescents with tic disorders. However, families often report feeling inadequately supported and perceive a lack of knowledge about tics. Few studies have examined primary care professionals’ perspectives on managing tic disorders. This study explored how these professionals understood and managed tic disorders in a D

This article presents a Luhmann-inspired theory of conflictualization, that is, how objects, relations, and societies come to be defined by the logic of conflict. This article presents a Galtung- and Luhmann-inspired theory of conflictualization, that is, how objects, relations, and societies come to be defined by the logic of conflict. The article conceptualizes conflictualization as a threefold

Precarity is a common condition for most healthy people living in tropical countries and obviously even more so in patients with cancer. Numerous socioeconomic, cultural, and educational difficulties influence the outcome of cancer management: poverty, diminishing extended family support among communities, lack of reliable cancer registries, poor awareness even within the medical community, limite

The Corded Ware Culture complex in Sweden involves a special form of social structure called the Battle Axe Culture. Among well-known features, such as single graves, there are also other forms of expression. A special form of find is illustrated by a place with a significant accumulation of deliberately burned or otherwise destroyed objects. This mass deposit includes both well-known object formsThe Corded Ware Culture complex in Sweden involves a special form of social structure called the Battle Axe Culture.

This paper explores the composition of the extended family, the gens, in the Etruscan minor town of Blera, and surrounding territory, the Biedano region (Province of Viterbo). The aim is to study the inscriptions of the area in order to survey the leading families. Two major events can be noted: firstly, two alterations in the composition of the leading families, one in the first half of the Subar

The building permit is usually the final decision of urban governance for public authorities, whereby the private actor is given the right to construct at the urban plot. But in urban areas there is an urban context, which calls the attention to the need of a planning perspective of the assembled built environment. Detailed plans are required, and they ought to be considered in a total urban or mu

Over the years, with advances in our understanding of soft tissue tumors, availability of an increasing number of diagnostic ancillary tests, and matured biopsy techniques with or without image guidance, needle biopsy investigation of a soft tissue lesion has largely replaced open excisional biopsy as the primary diagnostic tool to establish malignancy and to assess histologic type and grade. Fine

Objectives: Studies have reported promising results regarding artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for improved mammographic screening interpretive performance. We analyzed AI malignancy risk scores from two versions of the same commercial AI model. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from 117,709 screening examinations performed in BreastScreen Norway 2009–2018. The

The use and significance of timber structures are on the rise, especially thanks to crosslaminated timber (CLT). This engineered wood product is manufactured by stacking multiple layers of wood lamellae, each oriented perpendicularly to the one below it, and then bonding them with adhesives to form a floor or wall panel. Timber, as a building material, presents potential environmental benefits ove

Abstract in Chinese:摘要在中国食品生产与消费趋势呈现多重矛盾的背景下, 考察推广特定饮食方式 (如植物性饮食) 的个体与群体, 有助于深化对民间社会在可持续转型中所扮演角色的理解。本文采用结合数字食物研究与实地民族志的研究方法, 聚焦当代中国的“饮食公众” (dietary publics) 及其话语实践与动员机制的交织互动, 并从教育, 文化, 探索与创新四个倡议维度展开分析。研究发现, 不同类型的行动者正在以“植物领先运动” (Plant-forward Movement) 的框架下形成多元联盟。该运动虽以全植物性饮食为核心, 同时也涵盖蛋奶素与弹性素食等实践形态。这些行动者在中国的“绿色公共领域” (Green Public Sphere) 中占据独特位置, 展现出推动社会向更绿色饮食与生活方式转型的潜在动能与意义。A growing body of research has examined the rise of civil society efforts to green China’s food system, and this article contributes to such discussions by examining the case of plant-based food and lifestyle advocacy. Amid emerging paradoxes in China’s food production and consumption trends, examining individuals and groups who promote distinct diets such as veganism offers new insights into civi

OBJECTIVE: During the past few decades, a rapidly increasing incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been reported from many parts of the world. The change over time has been partly explained by changes in lifestyle causing rapid early growth and weight development. The current study models and analyzes the time trend by age, sex, and birth cohort in an exceptionally large study group.RES

This chapter deals with ways in which digital technologies can be utilized to work with moving media in hybrid ways. I will shortly present a practice of what I call probing. It is an extended, evocative, and open-ended process of art making and research. I will present a selection of projects that explore notions of noise, blend modes, and live cinema. I will discuss notions of noise, the provisi
