We consider a class of external potentials on the complex plane C for which the coincidence set to the obstacle problem contains a Jordan curve in the exterior of the droplet. We refer to this curve as a spectral outpost. We study the corresponding Coulomb gas at β=2[jls-end-space/].Generalizing recent work in the radially symmetric case, we prove that the number of particles which fall near the s
Negative symptoms (avolition, anhedonia, asociality, blunted affect, and alogia) are among the most disabling features of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. In the absence of treatment consensus guidelines, this PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42024613967) evaluated efficacy and clinical significance of interventions targeting this dimension. Web of Science/PsycInfo databases were sear
Soil microorganisms regulate carbon (C) cycling, and their growth and respiration are strongly dependent on temperature. Yet it remains unclear how warming alters microbial thermal traits, community structure, and the balance between microbial respiration and growth, particularly in subtropical ecosystems where high temperatures coincide with low soil moisture, potentially constraining microbial a
We present an updated characterization of the planetary system orbiting the nearby M2 dwarf GJ 3090 (TOI-177; d=22 pc), based on new high-precision radial velocity (RV) observations from NIRPS and HARPS. With an orbital period of 2.85 d, the transiting sub-Neptune GJ 3090 b has a mass we refine to 4.52 ± 0.47 M>, which, combined with our derived radius of 2.18 ± 0.06 R2, yields a density of 2.40-0
Jag undersöker den ideala krigar-mannen i två av Gamla testamentets profetböcker: Jesaja och Jeremia. Här beskrivs han som misslyckad och sårbar och i metaforer liknas han till exempel vid en kvinna som föder barn. Under perioden för böckernas tillkomst inträffade en katastrof för folket i Juda, den babyloniska exilen innebar att landet erövrades av stormakten Babylonien och att delar av folket tThis book explores how the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah depict warriors as vulnerable. In the oracle sections of these prophetic books, vivid imagery shows the warriors failing—not only in their duties as mighty men—but also in living up to the expectations of militarised masculinity. They are presented through imagery of cowardice, weakness, pain, and fear and are often portrayed as women, partic
Who benefited from agricultural commercialization in colonial Africa? Using social tables for three African economies, we identify a small group of rural capitalists who captured disproportionate gains. We demonstrate how their strategies of accumulation varied across contexts and shaped divergent and often unequal development trajectories.
Introduction: Therapeutic proteins are crucial in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. However, the proteins are sensitive to chemical degradation reactions, particularly deamidation and isomerization, which can compromise efficacy and safety. Formulation excipients, such as sugars and non-ionic surfactants, are commonly used to enhance stability, yet their effects on chemical degradation re
This paper investigates the role of sound and listening in establishing newsensory connections with the environment. Climate change is affecting the wayour environment sounds and we need to expand our sense of listening to tunein to those new registers. Through the development of a digital prototype forspeculative sound co-creation, this study explores ways to engage with ourchanging environment b
In 1807, Britain outlawed the slave trade across its empire. Yet in the Cape Colony, households continued accumulating slaves for decades afterwards. New evidence from digitised tax censuses suggests the answer lies not in labour demand, but in the financial value of enslaved people as capital assets.
This paper examines whether high levels of intergenerational class mobility in twentieth-century Sweden eliminated class-origin income inequalities within adult occupationaldestinations, and whether childhood neighborhood exposure moderated these inequalities.Using longitudinal population-register, income, occupation, and geocoded residential data, thestudy follows individuals born between 1922 an
Study region: Trelleborg is a mid-sized coastal municipality in southern Sweden that has experienced repeated pluvial flooding in recent decades. The city comprises areas served by both combined and separate sewer systems and is increasingly exposed to intense short-duration rainfall events. This study uses 17 years (2006–2023) of property-level flood reports, in situ rainfall observations from mu
Functional p53 protein is essential for the cellular response to drug-induced DNA damage. We investigated p53 accumulation in tumour specimens from premenopausal breast cancer patients who were randomised to adjuvant chemotherapy (CMF) or postoperative radiotherapy. Of the tumours from 139 patients, 20 showed abnormal accumulation as judged with immunohistochemistry (> 10% positive tumour cells).
In this study, we have investigated the dynamic behavior of colloidal rods within their isotropic phase, employing multispeckle ultrasmall-angle x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (UA-XPCS) focusing on the understanding of the interplay between structure and dynamics at the nearest-neighbor length scale. While prior research has primarily focused on the structural aspects, our work addresses th
Scene and object information reach the entorhinal-hippocampal circuitry in partly segregated cortical processing streams. Converging evidence suggests that such information-specific streams organize the cortical – entorhinal interaction and the circuitry’s inner communication along the transversal axis of hippocampal subiculum and CA1. Here, we leveraged ultra-high field functional imaging and adv
The pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic properties were evaluated in a series of antiuterotonic oxytocin analogs, modified at positions 1, 2, 4, 8 and, in one case, position 9 of the oxytocin (OT) molecule. [Mpa1,D-Tyr2(Et),Val4,Orn8,desGly9]-OT, [Mpa1,Tyr2(Et),Val4,Orn8]-OT and [Mpa1,D-Tyr2,Val4,Orn8]-OT displayed similar plasma clearance rates (Clps) using the constant infusion method in rats. Two
This article argues that Islamic authorities do not try to sustain a jurisdiction over Islamic divorce in Denmark. They respond to a juridical demand caused by the absence of Islamic legal institutions in Denmark, which I call the Islamic juridical vacuum. This vacuum entails that sharia is often defined locally in communities or families rather than by Islamic authorities, and when women are unab
BACKGROUND. α1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) forms stable complexes with prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a serine protease, and this complex is the major form of PSA in the blood circulation. α1-antichymotrypsin occurs in the blood in approximately 105 molar excess to PSA, mainly due to hepatic production, but local prostatic production of ACT has been demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and in situ hy
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and human glandular kallikrein 1 (hGK-1) are structurally similar products of the human glandular kallikrein gene locus on chromosome 19 that become selectively expressed by human prostate tissue. PSA is one of the most abundant prostate-derived proteins in the seminal fluid. The mature form of PSA, a single-chain glycoprotein of 237 amino acids, is a serine proteas
