In this paper, we analyze the debate between the Modern Synthesis and the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis in light of the concept of incommensurability developed by Thomas Kuhn. In order to do so, first we briefly present both the Modern Synthesis and the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis. Then, we clarify the meaning and interpretations of incommensurability throughout Kuhn’s works, concluding that
Socioeconomic differences in adult mortality are found consistently in high-income countries today. Previous studies have shown that there were, in contrast, no such differences before the twentieth century. The importance of infectious diseases as causes of death and lack of knowledge on how to prevent or cure diseases have been suggested as explanations for this. We investigate the differences i
The roundtable brings together three of the authors and a former journal editor, from the recent JCMS 20th Anniversary SYmposium to discuss: What does the Arrival of Planetary Politics tell us about normative power and the European Union?Ian Manners provides a reflection and prospective intervention on the development of normative power and thinking through the EU in the rest of the century. Kalyp
Background: Hemophilia B is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of clotting factor IX, which presents unique challenges in clinical management. Advances in therapeutic strategies for hemophilia B have significantly improved patient outcomes but have also necessitated ongoing education for healthcare professionals. This illustrated review provides an overview of the challenges and op
The selective oxidation of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds is essential in academia and industry. Benzil and BHMF have emerged as important classes of carbonyl compounds that have shown promising applications in materials and drug intermediates, especially in sustainable bio-based plastics. The traditional selective oxidation process generally uses equivalent amounts of oxidants or to
Currently, VR technology is increasingly being used in applications to enable immersive yet controlled research settings. One such area of research is expertise assessment, where novel technological approaches to collecting process data, specifically eye tracking, in combination with explainable models, can provide insights into assessing and training novices, as well as fostering expertise develo
The purpose of this study is to analyze how the child’s perspective is used in social services today and how the usage of the child’s perspective is expected to change due to the incorporation of the convention on the rights of the child. We collected data through qualitative interviewing with six participants from the same social service office. In our study we have established that the concepts
This master thesis studied mitigation and preparedness measures for forest fires made by local fire brigades and county administrative boards. Both actions taken today and related to a future scenario characterised by climate change were considered. The aim was firstly to get a picture of the work conducted and secondly to compare and review the present actions and discuss the measures taken for t
Diamond Blackfan anaemia (DBA) is a rare, genetically and clinically heterogeneous, inherited red cell aplasia. Classical DBA affects about seven per million live births and presents during the first year of life. However, as mutated genes have been discovered in DBA, non-classical cases with less distinct phenotypes are being described in adults as well as children. In caring for these patients i
Probiotics are increasingly gaining popularity in vast food applications due to their recognized health benefits to the host. However, their passage through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is not smooth and a significant number of physiological barriers (e.g. low pH, bile salts, enzymes, peristaltic movements, etc.) may considerably affect their viability. The entrapment of probiotics in protectiv
Architectural Technical Debt (ATD) is a challenge that many of today's companies aim to overcome. ATD concerns the overall structure and architecture of a software-intensive system and can be described as the unresolved shortcuts developers take under circumstances of e.g. time pressure and uncertain requirements. Planning and constructing a well-thought-out architecture is time consuming and
Information systems are key enablers for the integration and reliable management of the product development process. Fast, robust, and cost-efficient product adaptation is especially important in one-of-a-kind production. This paper presents an implementation of information supported tools of the product development (PD) design process for large power transformers. One-of-a-kind production is spec
Recently, Brand et al. [STOC 2018] gave a randomized mathcal O(4kmϵ-2-time exponential-space algorithm to approximately compute the number of paths on k vertices in a graph G up to a multiplicative error of 1 ± ϵ based on exterior algebra. Prior to our work, this has been the state-of-the-art. In this article, we revisit the algorithm by Alon and Gutner [IWPEC 2009, TALG 2010], and obtain the foll
This article analyses how Sweden has adapted to the worsened security situation in its vicinity following Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and war in Eastern Ukraine. The paper builds on security policy research focused on neoclassic realism and small state strategies in order to explore how the, broadly unknown, security policy from 2009 has been implemented in practice since 2014, through w
Recent studies have shown that intraspecific patterns of phenotypic plasticity can mirror patterns of evolutionary diversification among species. This appears to be the case in Nicrophorus beetles. Within species, body size is positively correlated with the size of carrion used to provision larvae and parental performance. Likewise, among species, variation in body size influences whether species
Seawater intrusion (SWI) is one of the most important phenomena which occurs in shorelines and islands and affects groundwater storage in the region. This study aims to investigate how far seawater has intruded in a coastal area and what is its extent variation. The results can lead to different management plans. To achieve these goals, a geoelectrical method is applied in the coastal aquifer of C
