This chapter highlights the importance of collective conversations regarding how to navigate the complexity of positions, roles, stakes, interests and feelings that most researchers experience. The author explores a conversational format as a way of writing about affective reflexivity. The chapter departs in a PhD project focusing on the lived experiences of variations of sex characteristics, in o

The paper demonstrates the problem of translating modal verbs and phrases and shows how some of these problems can be overcome by choosing semantic representations which look like representations of passive verbs. These semantic representations suit alternative ways of expressing modality by e.g. passive constructions, adverbs and impersonal constructions in the target language. Various restructur

This paper discusses a Python interface for the recently published Dune-Fem-DG module which provides highly efficient implementations of the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving a wide range of non linear partial differential equations (PDE). Although the C++ interfaces of Dune-Fem-DG are highly flexible and customizable, a solid knowledge of C++ is necessary to make use of this powerful

In this contribution we present some preliminary results on the dynamical evolution of two planet systems around stellar hosts evolving from the main sequence to the white dwarf phase. The aim is to study the instabilities triggered by stellar evolution that may bring planets onto the stellar surface or produce planetary scale collisions (hence debris) that could explain the metallic atmospheric p

Carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndromes (CDG) are inherited multisystem disorders characterized by the abnormal glycosylation of a number of serum glycoproteins. CDG-Ia results from deficiency of phosphomannomutase that catalyzes the conversion of mannose-6-phosphate to mannose-1-phosphate in the cytosol. We report a case of CDG-Ia in an 11-month-old girl with developmental delay, failure to

Since the demand for raw material is still growing, historical mining dumps are in the focus of geophysical investigations because they can still bear valuable minerals. Moreover, the risk assessment of groundwater contamination due to solutions processes within slag dumps is an important part of dump characterisations. One suitable technique to use is the spectral induced polarisation (SIP) metho

BACKGROUND: The St Gallen 2019 guidelines for primary therapy of early breast cancer recommend omission of completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND), regardless of histological type, in patients with one or two sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases. Concurrently, adjuvant chemotherapy is endorsed for luminal A-like disease with four or more axillary lymph node (ALN) metastases. The aim of t

Background: Cortical contusions are common in moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cortical contusions often expand, potentially causing neuro-worsening several hours to days post-trauma. While contusion expansion (CE) may affect outcome, potential clinical and radiological markers that can predict CE have been insufficiently explored. In the present single-center retrospective observatio

Traditionally, traffic safety is expressed through the number of accidents (crashes) or people injured, since these are the most direct manifestations of an unsafe traffic environment. As we discuss in this chapter, such an approach has its limitations due to the low frequency of accidents and some other issues. Neither is it unusual that accident data is not available, not reliable or lacks impor

What happened in Dersim in 1937–38, in the early years of the Turkish Republic, is no longer a secret. In recent decades, Dersim has been recognised as at least a state-led “massacre”, mass graves have been discovered, and written and oral testimonies of both victims and perpetrators have come to light. However, a clear definition and recognition of this genocide, as well as reconciliation and res

This article aims at describing a logistic approach for prolonged resuscitation efforts in the cath-lab using mechanical chest compressions (MCC) during simultaneous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

This chapter introduces the theme of gendered knowledge production and proposes new understandings of epistemic agency, epistemic power and epistemic violence. These theoretical concepts are employed to critically approach the Women, Peace and Security agenda as a system of knowledge that comes with both possibilities and constraints. The chapter conceptualizes epistemic agency as embodied and nar

Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy syndrome characterized by hypertension and organ damage manifesting after 20 gestational weeks. The etiology is of multifactorial origin, where placental stress causes increased levels of placenta-derived extracellular vesicles (STBEVs) in the maternal circulation, shown to cause inflammation, endothelial activation, vasoconstriction, and anti-angiogenic activity.
