This qualitative interview study, based on qualitative text analysis, seeks an in-depth understanding of young people's experiences of democracy through semi-structured interviews, illuminated by the theory of participatory democracy. The study includes group intervi

Cells must recycle stalled ribosomes while preventing the accumulation of aberrant nascent chains. In bacteria, this is achieved by overlapping pathways with distinct substrates: ribosome-rescue systems act mainly on non-stop mRNAs, whereas ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) targets mid-ORF arrests. Work in Gram-positive bacteria defined an RQC mechanism that appends C-terminal degrons to s

Spinal cord injury can be classified as traumatic and non-traumatic. The traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCI) are caused by motor vehicle accidents (56 %), falls (14 %), firearm and violence-related (16.6 %) and sports injuries (7 %) [1]. Injuries after falls and minor trauma are more commonly seen in elderly patients as they more often have spondylosis and osteoporosis. Violence is more common in

A chapter in "The Routledge Companion to Director's Shakespeare" about Ingmar Bergman as a Shakespeare interpreter, the relation between Shakespeare on page and stage, and the significance of the stage to understanding Shakespeare's plays.

Action spectroscopy is a method for identifying the light-absorbing chromophore in a photobiological or biochemical process by comparing the efficiency of radiation of different wavelengths in driving the process. This chapter explains the principle and gives several ex-amples from the history of biology of what has been achieved using this technique.

Isaac Levi is more interested in inquiry and how it progresses than he is in metaphysics. Questions concerning the role of disposition predicates in inquiry are more central to him than those concerning the nature and reality of dispositions. It has not stopped him from giving me and others very useful metaphysical advice. Currently, where empirical metaphysics is in vogue, there is every reason t

In an exploratory investigation of personality patterns, Swedish air force pilots (n = 22) and ground officers (n = 14) were tested with the Creative Functioning Test, the Serial Color Word test, and the Spiral After-Effect Technique. The participants also answered open questions about their work and about creativity related items. Achievement ratings were made by their superior officers. An initi
