Globally, waste volumes are increasing rapidly and the World Bank estimates a 70% global increase in municipal solid waste until 2025. Waste may have serious environmental consequences and there is a strong correlation between solid waste generation rates and greenhouse gas emissions. These two observations alone indicate that this development is not sustainable. Recycling is one of the most impor

Let G be a finite group. We show that the order of the subgroup generated by coprime γk-commutators (respectively,δk- commutators) is bounded in terms of the size of the set of coprime γk-commutators (respectively, δk-commutators). This is in parallel with the classical theorem due to Turner-Smith that the words γk and δk are concise.

During the last two decades our understanding of human B cell differentiation has developed considerably. Our understanding of the human B cell compartment has advanced from a point where essentially all assays were based on the presence or not of class-switched antibodies to a level where a substantial diversity is appreciated among the cells involved. Several consecutive transitional stages that

In past human populations, atherosclerosis has been identified in mummies from different regions of the world, and from a range of chronological periods (for extensive reviews see Chapters 3 and 4). This current study from Sweden aims to contribute to the limited evidence for atherosclerosis associated with human skeletal remains by presenting examples of atherosclerosis in another part of the bod

This ethnographic research on ‘Workaway’ investigates new forms of mobility experiences, in between travel and migration, which are used by a plethora of types of people (both hosts and guests) with different motivations (learning new skills and experiences), needs, ambitions, dreams, as well as/or life-time crisis, and different types of problems (e.g. lack of finances, no opportunity or prospect

This chapter discusses broadly the challenges and opportunities for anthropologically engaging with the news media during a pandemic. It explores the Swedish experience, describing how the country was portrayed as reckless and irresponsible and the ways in which Swedish culture was used and misused to explain its handling of the pandemic. Anthropologists rely on news sources, to “set the scene,” t

The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2) is a dual-hemisphere, near-infrared (NIR), spectroscopic survey with the goal of producing a chemodynamical mapping of the Milky Way. The targeting for APOGEE-2 is complex and has evolved with time. In this paper, we present the updates and additions to the initial targeting strategy for APOGEE-2N presented in Zasowski et al.

This chapter explores the role of assessment in global citizenship education (GCE). We will consider what can be assessed, and how teachers can design and manage appropriate assignment tasks in relation to normative assessment practices. The ways in which assessment might inform curriculum, behaviours, and engagement with GCE are considered in relation to institutional practices. The role of the a

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Syncope is a common condition with many possible causes, ranging from benign to life-threatening aetiologies. Establishing a diagnosis can be difficult and specialized syncope units, using cardiovascular autonomic tests (CAT) including head-up tilt test can increase the diagnostic yield. However, up to one fifth of examined patients have inconclusive CAT results. The aim of the

Owing to their millisecond-scale temporal resolution, magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) are well-suited tools to study dynamic functional connectivity between regions in the human brain. However, current techniques to estimate functional connectivity from MEG/EEG are based on a two-step approach; first, the MEG/EEG inverse problem is solved to estimate the source activi
