Renewable energy expansion and carbon sink enhancement are central to developing sustainable climate pathways, yet the rapid deployment of renewable energy technologies is intensifying land-use competition and increasing the need for more resource-efficient siting strategies. Solar development on former peat extraction sites represents one such approach, as it enables the use of degraded land whil
Metal-free nitrogen-doped carbon materials are promising electrocatalysts towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), yet the nature of the active sites remains under debate. Previous investigations based on ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization and computational modelling studied the role of graphitic N species in ORR and suggested that these species at the carbon edges are

This thesis explores the socially constructed phenomenon that has arisen as a result of the proliferation of social network sites that has penetrated our daily lives. The qualitative study analysed how university students experienced the global outage of Facebook, Instagram and, WhatsApp on October 4th, 2021, because of the Meta-owned ecosystem of social media. Moreover, the study examined how 2 g
Lymphocytes from human peripheral blood have been separated by countercurrent distribution in a charged aqueous two-phase system composed of Dextran T 500 and polyethylene glycol 6000 with a cell yield of 59–88% and viability above 90%. A highly reproducible partition pattern was seen with four distinct peaks. Lymphocytes with surface membrane immunoglobulin (SmIg) were located in the first part o
The integrin CD103 and the chemokine receptor CCR9 are co-expressed on small intestinal CD8+ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL), naïve murine CD8+ T cells and by a small population of effector/memory CD8+ T cells, indicating a potential role for CCR9 in regulating CD103 expression and function. Here, we demonstrate that CD103, in contrast to CCR9, is down-regulated on CD8+ T cells following their a
Sometimes it ends with a kiss Ana Rebordão creates staged environments in which she always plays the central figure, shifting between roles. Her latest piece, Sometimes it ends with a kiss, reflects on power relations within family structures. Through absurd, enigmatic performances, she evokes a sense of trauma and gives a sharp voice to silent female characters. The work shows women speaking to t

Viking Age silver is a useful tool for tracing various aspects of the society. Contact networks, trade organization, society structure, economic variation etc. This paper concentrates on the so-called Permian rings, which appear in Scandinavian silver hoards from Early Viking Age. Their main concentration is, however, in the regions west of the Ural Mountains in Russia. As the rings found in Russi

Glycoprotein B (gB, gpUL55) is a major antigen for the induction of neutralizing antibodies against human cytomegalovirus, making it an attractive antigen for active and passive immunoprophylaxis. The immunodominant region on gB is the antigenic domain 1 (AD-1), a complex structure which requires a minimal linear amino acid sequence of more than 75 amino acids (aa 552-635) for antibody binding. We
To investigate the effects of a vitamin D3 analogue (BXL628) in a model of chronic cystitis, as calcitriol analogues might be an interesting new therapeutic option for interstitial cystitis, for although the cause of the disease remains unclear, the increase in mast cells in the mucosa and detrusor muscle are significant. We devised a mouse model of allergen-induced allergic cystitis that is assoc
In this paper, the authors report the use of liquid-liquid partition chromatography (LLPC) in an aqueous polyethylene glycol (PEG)/dextran two-phase system to compare the surface properties (partition properties) of human antibodies and fragments thereof. The surface properties of all the monoclonal antibodies of different classes and subclasses investigated were within the same broad range as tha
