Across the Fehmarn Belt region, new imaginaries of the future are taking shape. The fixed link between Denmark and Germany will not only reduce travel times but also transform everyday life, local economies, planning cultures, and regional identities on both sides of the Belt.This book brings together visions emerging from fieldwork, planning documents, site visits, workshops, and conversations wi
Invariant natural killer T 1 (iNKT1) cells are prototypic interferon γ-producing, innate-like T lymphocytes that play crucial roles in protection against pathogen infection and cancer. In the thymus, where these cells develop, iNKT cells contribute to the recruitment of antigen-presenting cells and promote T cell tolerance. Although the transcriptional programs guiding iNKT cell specification are
The accurate mapping of urban housing prices at a fine scale is essential to policymaking and urban studies, such as adjusting economic factors and determining reasonable levels of residential subsidies. Previous studies focus mainly on housing price analysis at a macro scale, without fine-scale study due to a lack of available data and effective models. By integrating a convolutional neural netwo
Histatin 5 (Hst5) is a histidine-rich intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) whose biological function arises from a highly heterogeneous conformational ensemble and environmental sensitivity. Unlike structured antimicrobial peptides that rely on persistent secondary motifs, Hst5 remains disordered across a wide range of conditions, enabling continuous adaptation to changes in pH, ionic strength,
The impact of education on earnings in China is primarily a quantitive analysis describing how divergence between Chinese provinces has grown in the period 1994 to 2004. The thesis is constructed around Mincerian thoughts on returns to schooling and endogenous growth theory emphasizing the crucial importance of government expenditure on knowledge capital for sustained growth. It further aims to an
One of the most stated reasons for ERP failure is that the organization failed to recognise the impact the system would have on business processes. A possible solution to this could be to use an approach focusing on process change when implementing ERP systems. Therefore this study investigates the possibilities of using Business Process Management (BPM) when implementing ERP systems. The focus li
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common dementia affecting a vast number of individuals and significantly impairing quality of life. Despite extensive research in animal models and numerous promising treatment trials, there is still no curative treatment for AD. Astrocytes, the most common cell type of the central nervous system, have been shown to play a role in the major AD pathologies, including a
This paper presents a continuous-time ΔΣ ADC in a 28nm-FDSOI CMOS technology. The ADC is clocked at 5GHz with a signal bandwidth of 250 MHz, for an oversampling ratio (OSR) of only 10. The conversion from high-level model to circuit-level implementation requires multiple high-speed design methodologies and a careful layout. A 4th order loop filter is adopted to enhance quantization noise shaping i
In recent years, several Swedish companies have been accused in the media, by NGOs, and via legal proceedings of engaging in criminal activities. Two of these companies, TeliaSonera and Lundin Petroleum have been the focus of substantial public attention. During the years following the revelations that TeliaSonera, a partly state owned telecommunications company, had committed bribery offences in
Organo-metal halide perovskites are an intriguing class of materials that have recently been explored for their potential in solar energy conversion. Within a very short period of intensive research, highly efficient solar cell devices have been demonstrated. One of the heavily debated questions in this new field of research concerns the role of chlorine in solution-processed samples utilizing lea
Photosynthetic antenna systems enable organisms harvesting light and transfer the energy to the photosynthetic reaction centre, where the conversion to chemical energy takes place. One of the most complex antenna systems, the chlorosome, found in the photosynthetic green sulfur bacterium Chlorobaculum (Cba.) tepidum contains a baseplate, which is a scaffolding super-structure, formed by the protei
This paper experimentally investigates heat dissipation of a heat pipe with phase change materials (PCMs) cooling in a multiple heat source system. Two heat sources are fixed at one end of the heat pipe. Considering that a heat sink cannot dissipate all the heat generated by two heat sources, various PCMs are used due to a large latent heat. Different materials in a container are wrapped outside o
Defects in the synthesis pathways of amino acids have only been discovered in recent years and are relatively unknown to most clinicians. In this chapter disorders neurological symptoms caused by genetic defects in the synthesis of the amino acids serine, glutamine and proline are discussed. Patients with serine deficiency invariably suffer from severe neurological symptoms such as microcephaly, p
Present debates suppose a close linkage between economic, social, and environmental sustainability and suggest that individual wellbeing and living standards need to be understood as directly linked to environmental concerns. Because social movements are often seen as an avant-garde in pushing for change, this article analyzes climate protesters' support for three key frames in current periods of
Few germline mutations are known to affect lung cancer risk. We performed analyses of rare variants from 39,146 individuals of European ancestry and investigated gene expression levels in 7,773 samples. We find a large-effect association with an ATM L2307F (rs56009889) mutation in adenocarcinoma for discovery (adjusted Odds Ratio = 8.82, P = 1.18 × 10−15) and replication (adjusted OR = 2.93, P = 2
The recent popularity of audiobooks has led to new ways of using the format as publishers and producers reproduce and “reactualise” older works by adapting them into audio. The article examines this development, focusing on the case of Storytel’s 2022 audio adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 and the marketing campaign surrounding it, combining a publishing studies approach (Squires 2007; Murray 20
In Comfort Women of the Japanese Empire: Colonial Rule and the Battle over Memory, Park Yuha offers a provocative reassessment of the ‘comfort women’ issue – first proposed over a decade ago in the Korean version of this book. Situated at the heart of one of the most contentious debates in East Asian historiography, the book examines the enduring legacies of Japan’s colonial rule and its impact on
Mars has long been a source of inspiration, imagination and, lately, aspiration for many. It has generated a breadth of beliefs and ideas, as well as hope for a bright future there. However, the red planet will never offer a fresh start: we would carry with us some of our culture and our politics. Our future there would remain connected to Earth’s history, particularly human history. In the presen
