The recently constructed H4-VLE beam line, a tertiary extension branch of the existing H4 beam line in the CERN North Area, was commissioned in October 2018. The beam line was designed with the purpose of providing very low energy (VLE) hadrons and positrons to the NP-04 experiment, in the momentum range of 1-7 GeV/c. The production of these low-energy particles is achieved with a mixed hadron (pi
—We exploit exogenous variation arising from the historical roll-out of the Swedish railroad network across municipalities to identify the impacts of improved transport infrastructure on innovative activity. A network connection led to a local surge in patenting due to an increased entry and productivity of inventors. As the railroad network expanded, inventors in connected areas began to develop
Dihydropyrimidinase (DHPase) is a key enzyme in the pyrimidine pathway, the catabolic route for synthesis of β-amino acids. It catalyses the reversible conversion of 5,6-dihydrouracil (DHU) or 5,6-dihydrothymine (DHT) to the corresponding N-carbamoyl-β-amino acids. This enzyme has the potential to be used as a tool in the production of β-amino acids. Here, the reaction mechanism and origin of ster
In this piece, which frames the special issue, “The State of Google Critique and Intervention,” we provide an overview of research focusing on Google as an object of critical study, fleshing out the European interventions that actively attempt to address its dominance. The article begins by mapping out key areas of articulating a Google critique, from the initial focus on ranking and profiling to
In 2018, the International Organization for Migration stated that ‘migration has nearly become synonymous with urbanization, given the dominance of the city as the destination of most migrants’. The geopolitical dimension of migration governance is especially important in Mediterranean cities where the European Union’s (EU) efforts to push border management onto external actors has occurred alongs
Background. Over five billion people worldwide lack access to safe and affordable surgery and anesthesia care when required. There is a critical unmet need for surgical care, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). The shortage of surgical providers is one of the most influential barriers to receiving surgical care, and the maldistribution is aggravated by doctors emigrating
This article is about territorial claims, authority and rights in an urban settlement or ‘bosti’ in central Dhaka. It highlights the drama of a violent encounter between a police officer and a young man, unfolding how the social ordering of urban space is (re)produced in and through authority and violence. It illustrates how situated practices of authority define who can access institutions of rig
This extended abstract compiles statistics and information regarding the process of gathering water damage statistics. A questionnaire wasused to determine similarities, differences, and tendencies in the water damage statistics, in the Nordic countries Sweden, Norway, Denmark,Finland and Iceland. The study aimed to answer what lessons were learned and what knowledge could be shared between the No
ObjectivesDiet has received attention as a factor possibly contributing to the development of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Several dietary exposures have been examined in various populations using different diet assessment methods. The aim of this study was to systematically assess the literature on the relation between dietary patterns, different food and food groups, macronutrients, non-alcoholic
Objective: Peritraumatic dissociation (PD) and coping strategies (CS) around the time of trauma are significantpredictors of acute and long-term posttraumatic symptomatology (PTS), but it is unclear howthey relate to each other. The aim of this study was to examine their association using a nationwide, representativesample following the September 11 attacks in the United States (N = 3,134). Method
Purpose: To study the risk of incident breast cancer and subtype-specific breast cancer in relation to excess body weight in a contemporary Swedish prospective cohort study, The Karolinska Mammography Project for Risk Prediction of Breast Cancer, KARMA. Methods: A total of 35,412 postmenopausal women attending mammography and included in the KARMA study provided baseline data on body mass index (B
