Evaluations of the other culture is a strong force, not only in cultural dialogue but, consequently, in a culture’s formation of itself. Cultures are formed, as it were, in encounters that include domination, conflict, and dismissal as much as appreciation and smooth exchange. In this paper, the construction of cultural identity is discussed, in a study of a Scandinavian Theme Park proposal that w
Proteiner är en av människokroppens byggstenar och har en mängd viktiga ochnödvändiga biologiska funktioner genom att delta i kemiska reaktioner och processer.De flesta proteiner har en bindningsficka som styr proteinets biologiska funktiongenom bindning av andra molekyler. Denna biologiska funktion kan i vissa fallkopplas till ett sjukdomstillstånd. Organiska molekyler som binder starkt tillbindnExperimental drug discovery is very time-consuming, risky and comes at a huge cost, typically several billion USD per drug. Even though decades of experimental drug discovery have provided cures of many diseases, there are still diseases for which there is no effective drug available. If drug development could be performedby theoretical and computational methods it would be of great advantage to h
Fano models - consisting of a Hamiltonian with a discrete-continuous spectrum - are one of the basic toy models in spectroscopy. They have been successful in explaining the line shape of experiments in atomic physics and condensed matter. These models, however, have largely been beyond the scope of dissipative dynamics, with only a handful of works considering the effect of a thermal bath. Yet in
We suggest two methods for simulating from a multivariate copula in an arbitrary dimension. Although our main emphasis in this paper is on multivariate extreme value distributions, the proposed methods can be applied to any copula. The basic idea is to approximate the (unknown) density of the copula by a distribution that has a piece‐wise constant (histogram) density. This is achieved by partition
The aim of this article is to explore how ecodesign dilemmas contribute to a firm's ecodesign evolution. The article achieves this through empirical research into a process of ecodesign decision-making in a single firm. The study spans a timeframe of nine years. The article describes how recognising and dealing with ecodesign dilemmas fuels cycles of learning, leading the firm towards business mod
Atomic data, such as wavelengths, spectroscopic labels, broadening parameters and transition rates, are necessary for many applications, especially in plasma diagnostics, and for interpreting the spectra of distant astrophysical objects. The experiment with its limited resources is unlikely to ever be able to provide a complete dataset on any atomic system. Instead, the bulk of the data must be ca
Background Childhood vaccination rates fluctuate over time and do not always meet the levels recommended by the WHO. Objective This study aims to provide an overview of measures countries have introduced to increase vaccination rates. Methods We developed a structured data collection template that was completed by country experts from Europe, Israel, the USA, and Canada. Experts were identified us
Genotoxic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) can be repaired by error-free homologous recombination (HR) or mutagenic non-homologous end-joining 1 . HR supresses tumorigenesis 1 , but is restricted to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle when a sister chromatid
Due to the relatively short duration of earthquakes, most studies simplify their impact on structures by considering the total effect of each event rather than modelling the instantaneous accumulation of damage during the event itself. This approach may underestimate performance degradation, as incremental damage occurring during the shock can lead to an immediate reduction in capacity. Furthermor
This paper examines the practice of signposting in online counselling provided by the social services in Sweden. Specifically, it focuses on cases where online users are steered to seek offline help. The data corpus consists of 68 online chat logs (quasi-synchronous interactions) and 200 Internet question form exchanges (asynchronous interactions). The data were examined using the approach of conv
Municipal currencies are emerging as policy tools for fostering local economies and enhancing human rights, as illustrated by the cases of Mumbuca in Maricá, Brazil, and Vilawatt in Viladecans, Spain. These local currencies address socio-economic and environmental challenges by articulating currency issuance with community priorities, such as social welfare or reducing energy poverty. Unlike natio
Ischemia-reperfusion injury in transplantation remains a significant clinical challenge with regard to both short-term and long-term complications. In this study, we developed a new amphiphilic construct, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated lipids (PEG-LIPIDs), to be administered ex vivo intra-arterially to procured porcine kidney allografts before reperfusion. The aim was to create a protective
Male childlessness in late adulthood is increasingly prevalent in rural China, raising concerns about later-life care and welfare sustainability. While research has examined individual predictors and macro-level conditions, little is known about how these factors interact within the broader structure-agency context. This study, guided by a life course perspective, explores the structural factors s
Understanding human adaptations under varying scenarios is a critical concern from the earliest stages of system design. This study develops within the context of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and examines human performance variability during simulated drone operations using the Event Analysis of Systemic Teamwork (EAST) method. The analysis focuses on bird strike events that each of the five partic
This special issue of Oñati Socio-Legal Series, titled Judging, Emotion and Emotion Work, is the result of presentations and discussions during an interdisciplinary workshop at the International Institute for the Sociology of Law (IISL) held in May 2018. This issue builds on the growing critique of the dispassionate ideal of judicial work, combining original theoretical insights with imaginative e
