Abstract This case study looks at the topic of honor killings in relation to “doing” masculinity, in Jordan. A short overview is given on the dynamics of masculinities detected in the Jordanian public sphere. Furthermore, the study presents two cases of honor killings attempting to explore, through life-history interviews, what meaning the felonies might have had on the masculine identity of the

Zen Buddhists have long given the following advice to attain liberation: “Eat when you’re hungry. Sleep when you’re tired.” In other words: “Freedom” is the “knowledge of necessity” (Hegel, Marx, and Engels).

The electrochemical communication between microorganisms and electrodes has substantial implications both for basic understanding of biological electron transfer as well as in diverse applications, such as, microbial electrochemical system (MES), microbial biosensors and in production of valuable chemicals. In these systems the extracellular electron transfer (EET) from microbial metabolism to ele

Heme proteins form a large and diverse group of proteins which are involved in a variety of biological functions. The heme prosthetic group enables them to carry out redox reactions, transport electrons, bind gaseous molecules, and function as sensors. Despite their importance only little is generally known about heme protein biogenesis. The Gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis is found i

Even though urban cemeteries in Sweden today can be seen as making space for different memorial practices, they are also a materialization of certain cultural and religious norms (Kjaersgaard & Venbrux, 2016), which sometimes are expressed as functional and aesthetic values. In this respect, the urban cemetery has an abiding attitude to change in building on past traditions and designs to addr

Targeting the androgen receptor (AR) pathway prolongs survival in patients with prostate cancer, but resistance rapidly develops. Understanding this resistance is confounded by a lack of noninvasive means to assess AR activity in vivo. We report intracellular accumulation of a secreted antigen-targeted antibody (SATA) that can be used to characterize disease, guide therapy, and monitor response. A
