This article explores how quantitative organological analysis can be implemented alongside historical musicology to help stimulate creativity in performance practice while promoting a diversity of timbre that is often lost amidst the hegemonic propagation of homogenized, normalized modern musical instruments. The tuba family provides an insightful case study demonstrating how the history and devel
This chapter presents a novel analytical-experimental approach to performance practice studies within the field of new organology. The development of musical instruments in order to produce the sound colours demanded by aesthetic trends and compositional desires (or vice versa) has an inevitable impact on both performance and pedagogical traditions. Left unchecked, such transformations can easily
BACKGROUND: The Human Protein Atlas, with more than 10 million immunohistochemical images showing tissue- and cell-specific protein expression levels and subcellular localization information, is widely used in kidney research. The Human Protein Atlas contains comprehensive data on multi-tissue transcript and protein abundance, allowing for comparisons across tissues. However, while visual and intu
Introduction: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified a locus on chromosome 4q21.1, spanning the Family With Sequence Similarity 47 Member E (FAM47E), Starch Binding Domain 1 (STBD1), Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 158 (CCDC158), and Shroom Family Member 3 (SHROOM3) genes, to be associated with kidney function markers. Functional studies implicated SHROOM3 as the effector gene, demonstrat
At the current time, social robots are poised to enter human society in an unprecedented way. However, robots currentlyare not adept at communicating emotional states, even if humans to a large extent rely on such communication to regulateinteraction. Although facial expressions are difficult for robots to make use of, colored lights are readily available. Currentlythough, there is no consensus on
Background: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is occurring three times more frequently in females than in males. However, the underlying biological mechanisms driving this discrepancy remain poorly understood. To investigate the causal role of sex hormones and reproductive factors in the risk of DTC, we implemented a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: We utilized genom
Nils Månsson Mandelgren och kampen för kulturens framtid är en antologi med syftet att ge nya perspektiv på Mandelgrens omfattande livsverk. Hittills har forskningen frmäst haft fokus på hans dokumentation av äldre kulturyttringar, men hans stridbarhet och oräddhet i att utmana etablissemanget hade sikte på hur samtidens och framtidens kulturinstitutioner borde utformas och organiseras. I boken di
Background: The adoption of eHealth accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Inequalities in the adoption of eHealth during the COVID-19 pandemic have been reported, but there are few such studies among people with impairment. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate self-reported use and difficulty in the use of eHealth before the COVID-19 pandemic compared to during late social distancing re
Two different sum rules for transmission of the coherent electromagnetic field by a particulate slab are established. The particles are assumed spherical, dielectric, and randomly located, and the slab is illuminated by a plane wave at normal incidence. These sum rules are obtained assuming that the particles are passive scatterers and satisfy causality conditions. The sum rules are then employed
A novel combination of two CD-shaped double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSD) with Gammasphere, Microball, Neutron Shell, and Fragment Mass Analyzer has been exploited at the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) facility at the Argonne National Laboratory during an experimental campaign aiming to study proton-unbound states in odd-Z, N
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the ‘normality’ of our everyday lives, but it did so in the wake of a series of crises within the capitalist system, which worsened the conditions for a liveable world for many while benefitting only a few. In response to these crises, the contributions in this issue highlight the diverse ways activists continue to organise in the midst of social, political, and eco
Purpose: Mental illness due to longstanding stress is increasing. It has been shown that service users with mental illness may benefit from nature-based interventions (NBI), including equine-assisted therapy, to support their health, recovery, and activity level of daily life. However, the evidence base to support this is still weak. The aim was thus to evaluate and provide knowledge of the possib
Collaboration in governing complex environmental challenges is the norm. However, collaboration does not necessarily deliver desirable outcomes, and the importance of forming collaborative networks that effectively address the challenges at hand has been emphasized in theory and practice. Evidence for what constitutes a suitable network structure is still scarce, and the understanding of what fact
