《在幽昏中顯影：港中對話中國獨立紀錄片2014-2020》一書以導演、學者、觀眾對話的形式，討論了中國獨立紀錄片研究會（香港）2014至2020年期間展映、製片、發行的獨立電影。我們從中選擇了記錄較為完整的“叛逆中國”、“飛越瘋人院”、“情慾中國”三個展映單元的獨立紀錄片討論，以及針對夾邊溝右派農場倖存者記憶、維吾爾和新疆議題、三自教會、地下知識分子、前政府高官、工人抗爭等18部影片的映後交流文本或者導演訪談文本，形成本書“性、性別與女性主體”、“權利與政治”、“歷史與記憶”、“放逐與流亡”四個部分的主要內容。本書還收入研究會參與製片的《喊叫與耳語》首映對談，曾金燕對艾未未在跨國視野（流亡處境）下關於藝術（如《人流》）、社會行動和審查的兩次訪談，曾金燕對應亮半自傳劇情片《自由行》的訪談、曾金燕對艾曉明關於性別、紀錄片和社會行動的訪談、曾金燕與王月眉關於在香港八年“邊緣”經驗的筆談。額外收入
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the ability to self-renew and to give rise to all blood cells of the different lineages, and are thereby responsible for the replenishment of blood cells throughout life. These cells are tightly regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic regulators, such as signals from the bone marrow microenvironment, complex transcription factor networks and epigenetic regulators.
Lesions of the fimbria-fornix pathways are known to induce a partial cholinergic and noradrenergic denervation of the hippocampal formation, which is followed by a slow and protracted collateral sprouting by the spared afferents. Using the intracerebral microdialysis technique, compensatory changes in extracellular levels of acetylcholine (ACh) and noradrenaline (NA) have been monitored over time
This paper uses the three spatial design workshops D-Thinking Urban Strategy; Re-Ts >> Space(s) Innovation, and ZHUuGROUND 14 as the intellectual framework to evaluate experimentation as a pedagogical model in current interdisciplinary design education. The three workshops were conducted by the independent teaching and research organization, the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture (RI
This thesis is concerned with the nature of information processing in the nervous system. This issue has been investigated with animal experiments, using male Sprague–Dawley rats, and simulated touch generated by an artificial fingertip with neuromorphic tactile sensors. The processing of the tactile input from the artificial touch system has been analyzed in light of two opposing theories on info
Background: Associations of body shape with breast cancer risk, independent of body size, are unclear because waist and hip circumferences are correlated strongly positively with body mass index (BMI). Methods: We evaluated body shape with the allometric “a body shape index” (ABSI) and hip index (HI), which compare waist and hip circumferences, correspondingly, among individuals with the same weig
Introduction: The potential utility of inflammatory and hemodynamic plasma biomarkers for the prediction of incident lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD), carotid artery stenosis (CAS), isolated atherosclerotic disease without concomitant abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and isolated AAA without concomitant atherosclerotic disease has not yet been integrated in clinical practice. The main objec
Can civil society simultaneously be duty-bearers and rights-holders? In global human rights discourse, the term 'civil society' is commonly used in two seemingly opposing ways. The first is the use of 'civil society' as denoting an extended duty-bearer in the form of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) which by many states across the world are being tasked with directly implementing human rights
In older adults, age-related degenerative processes and disorders often degrade some sensory systems more than others, which can make postural control disproportionally dependent on one kind of sensory information. The study aims were to investigate 1) the postural stability when healthy older adults were repeatedly exposed to a video in an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment, and 2) the re
The aim of this WaterWarmth project Work Package 6.1 report is to present a number of relevant frameworks available to analyse and/or assess the governance of current heating systems and future energy system innovation, in particular with a focus on aquathermal energy (AE) systems. At the basis of the report was a broad survey of the academic and other literature by project researchers on ways to
BACKGROUND: Blood-based biomarkers have the potential to reflect cerebrovascular signaling after microvascular injury; yet, the detection of cell-specific signaling has proven challenging. Microvesicles retain parental cell surface antigens allowing detection of cell-specific signaling encoded in their cargo. In ischemic stroke, the progression of pathology involves changes in microvascular signal
Functional disruption of the medial temporal lobe-dependent networks is thought to underlie episodic memory deficits in aging and Alzheimer's disease. Previous studies revealed that the anterior medial temporal lobe is more vulnerable to pathological and neurodegenerative processes in Alzheimer's disease. In contrast, cognitive and structural imaging literature indicates posterior, as opposed to a
The documented artistic research project (doctoral thesis), Many Maids Make Much Noise, comprises a series of artistic projects focused on the social history of the early twentieth-century British militant campaign for votes for women (known as the suffragette movement). The aim is to try out artistic and educational strategies used within that movement, as a means of ‘reading’ these practices and
The upstream ends of global supply chains – where raw material extraction or production takes place – are often hotspots for severe sustainability issues such as deforestation, biodiversity loss and human rights violations. Companies are under growing scrutiny from regulators, investors and civil society to ensure upstream-end supply chain sustainability. Yet, companies typically lack visibility b
Robust and rapid xylose utilization is essential for developing sustainable bioprocesses capable of converting pentose-rich lignocellulosic biomass into renewable chemicals. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a popular choice for industrial bioprocesses due to its high product yields, robust performance, and stress tolerance. Unfortunately, S. cerevisiae does not natively utilize xylose. Decades of resea
The role of natural marine aerosols in the global climate system remains understudied and uncertain. This is true for the emissions of natural volatile compounds over the ocean, the oxidation of said compounds and their impact on particle formation and particle growth. In this thesis, the emission, chemistry and aerosol particle processes relating to these compounds were studied using different pr
En varumärkesinnehavares ensamrätt medför en rätt att hindra andra från att använda det skyddade varumärket. Ensamrätten omfattar dock endast användning som sker för varor eller tjänster i näringsverksamhet. Varumärkesrätten innehåller endast exempel på vilka handlingar som en varumärkesinnehavare kan motsätta sig. Domstolarnas tillämpning av rekvisiten ”användning”, ”för varor eller tjänster” ochA trademark owner's exclusive right means a right to prevent others from using the protected trademark. However, the exclusive right only covers use in the course of trade in relation to goods or services. Trademark law contains only examples of which actions a trademark owner may object to. For this reason, the courts’ interpretation of the necessary conditions "use", "in relat
Generellt i samhället, såväl bland allmänheten som i rättssystemet, har det konstaterats att det finns en misstro mot kvinnor som anmäler våldtäktsbrott. En återkommande föreställning är att kvinnor ljuger om vad som inträffat när de anmäler dessa brott. Vidare har den svenska våldtäktsprocessen nyligen kritiserats för att innehålla negativa föreställningar om kvinnor. I denna uppsats undersöker jIn public opinion, as well as in the legal system, there is a general disbelief of those who report rape. This distrust is partially founded on a reoccurring perception that women often lie when reporting crimes of sexual violence. The Swedish legal process has recently been subject to critique for holding negative perceptions about women in rape related court cases. In this study I examine if and
Following a rapid change in the way information is shared in our society, we have seen over the last few decades a change in how libraries construct their activities in relation to the library space. Different attitudes and opinions on what should or should not be going on in the library space, and by that extension the library’s purpose in itself, have come and gone, and built on each other in th
