Introduction. When using bibliometrics for research evaluation, the classification of research fields is an issue of great importance. The purpose of this paper is to outline a brief theoretical framework for analysing the role of classification in research evaluation practices.Theory. Taking departure in the concept of ‘boundary objects’ we develop a theoretical framework for analyses of how scie

In the works of Can Xue, houses and buildings act as the outer shell of the fragile self. Her depiction of these uncanny places of inhabitance questions the rationalist notion of an objective border between self and surroundings, paving the way for a subjective and phenomenological approach to reality.

We use high-resolution simulations of isolated dwarf galaxies to study the physics of dark matter cusp-core transformations at the edge of galaxy formation: M200 = 107-109 M⊙. We work at a resolution (~4 pc minimum cell size; ~250 M⊙ per particle) at which the impact from individual supernovae explosions can be resolved, becoming insensitive to even large changes in our numerical 'sub-grid' parame

We investigate the evolution of the abundance of fluorine in the Milky Way thick and thin discs by means of detailed chemical evolution models compared with recent observational data. The chemical evolution models adopted here have already been shown to fit the observed abundance patterns of CNO and α-elements as well as the metallicity distribution functions for the Galactic thick and thin disc s

The article analyzes the varied meanings historically associated with concepts of voluntarism in relation to social relief as they were articulated by changing moral elites in Denmark from the late nineteenth century until the present. Concepts of voluntarism have historically constituted “normative counterconcepts” that link voluntary practices to desired futures in opposition to alternative mode

This paper introduces a PhD project, exploring the process of transformation and appropriation of public spaces by immigrants, and how it results in new functions in post-industrial, transnational Malmö, Sweden. Such spaces have attained significant importance against the backdrop of increasing ethnic and economic segregation. The project is methodologically based on ethnographic research, documen

BACKGROUND: There is a growing interest to increase dietary fiber (DF) consumption due to the health benefits associated with this nutrient. Pulses are considered a good source of non-digestible carbohydrates. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of substituting semolina with chickpea flour to increase the indigestible carbohydrate content without altering the texture of the pa

Telomere attachment to the nuclear envelope (NE) is a prerequisite for chromosomemovement duringmeiotic prophase I that is required for pairing of homologous chromosomes, synapsis, and homologous recombination. Here we show that Speedy A, a noncanonical activator of cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), is specifically localized to telomeres in prophase I male and female germ cells in mice, and plays a

We study the chemical evolution of Zr, La, Ce, and Eu in the Milky Way discs and bulge by means of chemical evolution models compared with spectroscopic data. We consider detailed chemical evolution models for the Galactic thick disc, thin disc, and bulge, which have been already tested to reproduce the observed [α/Fe] versus [Fe/H] diagrams and metallicity distribution functions for the three dif

Tuberculosis, is caused by various strains of Mycobacteria, and specifically the one by Mycobacterium tuberculosis needs effective treatment. Administration of antibiotics fails owing to multi-drug resistant capability of Mycobacterium. Traditional methods for the identification of a potential drug take time and require huge investment The present study was focused on virtual screening to identify

The immune system has evolved to protect the human body against harmful invaders. At the same time, development of tolerance against self-derived and innocuous foreign antigens is of vital importance in order to avoid detrimental immune disorders. In allergic conditions, hypersensitivity is developed against harmless antigens, such as pollen. Dendritic cells (DCs) serve as a link between the innat

The severity of urinary tract infections (UTIs) varies depending on the balance between the virulence of the infecting bacterial strain and the antibacterial host defense. Bacterial virulence is determined by a complex of factors in which bacterial adherence to the uroepithelium is the most important virulence factor, in addition to the production of toxins and the formation of biofilm. In immunoc
