Viking Age silver is a useful tool for tracing various aspects of the society. Contact networks, trade organization, society structure, economic variation etc. This paper concentrates on the so-called Permian rings, which appear in Scandinavian silver hoards from Early Viking Age. Their main concentration is, however, in the regions west of the Ural Mountains in Russia. As the rings found in Russi

Human neurodegenerative disorders affect specific types of cortical neurons. Efficient protocols for the generation of such neurons for cell replacement, disease modeling and drug screening are highly warranted. Current methods for the production of cortical neurons from human embryonic stem (ES) cells are often time-consuming and inefficient, and the functional properties of the generated cells h

Injectable Bioresorbable Organic Bioelectronics Neuropharmacology—our ambition is to supplement classical biochemical signaling with the modulation of bioelectricity using both ionic and electronic processes. We focus on organic electronics that self-assemble directly inside or near the nervous system to form electronic circuits that mimic its structure and organization, enabling seamless integratInjectable Bioresorbable Organic Bioelectronics Neuropharmacology—our ambition is to supplement classical biochemical signaling with the modulation of bioelectricity using both ionic and electronic processes.

Botswana has figured widely as the exceptional African growth success story and has been frequently cited in scholarship that supports the view that African and other less developed economies are capable of rapid economic growth as long as the internal institutional framework and development policies are right. A shortcoming of the literature on African economic performance to date is that it has

Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures. It usually develops after an initial insult, such as head trauma or stroke, which triggers the epileptogenic process. During epileptogenesis, the affected brain regions undergo multiple changes in connectivity and gene expression, and among the most affected genes Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures.

Our mission is to establish a major trans-faculty bio-imaging center at Lund University (Lund University Bioimaging Center), combining knowledge in the fields of medical physics, preclinical and clinical medicine, chemistry, technology and applied mathematics in order to develop imaging methods for the advanced study of human morphology, cellular metabolism and physiological function in health and

Around 50 million people worldwide suffer from Epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological diseases. Epilepsy is characterized by sudden intermittent seizures, often imposing profound social and physical limitations. More importantly, the risk of premature death in these patients is up to three times that of the corresponding healthy population. It is estimated that 30% of the populati

Drawing upon the perspective of the cultural studies of emotions, this article examines the reception of political satire and the re-contextualization of humour. More precisely, it investigates the multiplicity of tensions that come into play in the production, erasure, rediscovery, and reception in BelarusianInternet media of politically oriented Russian television humour mocking the Belarusian p

Given the polarized political context in Peru that was provoked by the inclusion of LGTBIQ+ identities in the official school curriculum, this study analyzes the meanings that students of pedagogy in Lima ascribe to tolerance and respect towards gay and lesbian people, and how these meanings inform their pedagogical practices. Based on two focus groups and eight individual interviews grounded in s

The world of social media is here to stay, and while it offers plenty of opportunities for employers and organizations it is also said to be the biggest challenge for professional com-municators. Through employee advocacy, individuals can communicate the message of their organization to their whole network with merely the click of a button. But what makes the individual want to be an ambassador fo

The possible role of CORTISOL in development of the exocrine pancreas was investigated. In the first study, fetal pigs were removed from the uterus by caesarean section (pentobarbitone anesthesia) and the pancreas collected from 51 69 to 109-day-old fetuses (term = 114 ± 2 days). Of these, 15 88 to 90-day-old fetuses had been infused subcutaneously for 6 days with either saline, adrenocorticotropi
