Introduction: Contact allergy to nickel (Ni) is a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction mediated by Ni-reactive T cells producing the hallmark cytokines of several T-helper cell (Th) populations including IFN-γ(Th1), IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 (Th2), and IL-17A (Th17). IL-22-expressing CD4+ cells, which could be either Th17 co-expressing IL-22 or Th22, expressing IL-22 in the absence of IL-17A, have al

Stød is a syllable rhyme prosody that is realized as creaky voice, and its distributionis partly predictable. To examine listeners’ implicit knowledge of the complicatednature of stød distribution, we conducted a lexical decision task, investigating anirregularly behaving group of nouns in which stød distribution is unpredictable.We hypothesized that listeners would be the most surprised by deviat

BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional (3D) printing of highly porous orthopaedic implants aims to promote better osseointegration, thus preventing aseptic loosening. However, short-term radiostereometric analysis (RSA) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has shown higher initial migration of cementless 3D-printed tibial components compared with their cemented counterparts. Therefore, critical evaluation o

We demonstrated the use of a neutron grating interferometer setup (nGI) with a significantly improved contrast-to-noise ratio of the operando dark-field (DF) contrast visualization of water in gas diffusion media (GDM). The nGI parameters were optimized in such a way that we could perform DF imaging of a fully operational fuel cell including two GDM layers (anode and cathode side). The DF contrast

This chapter looks at three different cases, which extend from literature to protest, to examine the multimodality of translation and translanguaging in intercultural communication. The cases include excerpts from the novel On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous, the graphic novel Persepolis and practices of lip-sewing among refugees, as documented in online media. They represent different communicative

In the face of the triple planetary crisis, which includes climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation, there is growing recognition that the environment needs to be re-evaluated and better protected. Recent developments, such as a values assessment by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES),1 the concept of biocultural right

Purpose: To empirically explore and describe the process and practices of managing product returns in Internet retailing.Design/methodology/approach: A multiple case study involving twelve e-commerce firms and four logistics service providers. Using semi-structured interviews, documentation, and observations as an integrative data collection approach to gain a comprehensive managerial and operatio

This article introduces the special issue on digital disruption in diplomacy. We propose a new research agenda, advancing novel conceptualisations and empirical insights into the hybrid nature of contemporary diplomatic practices in a broad range of areas such as peace-making, inter-state signalling, domestic politics, digital communication, public diplomacy and popular culture. Emphasising the ma

Innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming cities in unprecedented ways. In this chapter, we unpack the connections between AI and the urban by introducing the concept of urban AI and reflecting on its most prominent incarnations: autonomous vehicles, urban robots, city brains and urban software agents. We then illustrate how the emergence of urban AI is producing a new urbanism th

Family doctors and general practitioners (GPs) are the frontline in the management of fatty liver disease. With its high prevalence and strong association with other conditions commonly treated in primary care, the voice of family doctors and GPs has an important role in informing the discussion on the redefinition of fatty liver disease. Primary care uptake of any proposed name will be hampered i

The introduction of total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) testing in serum has revolutionized the detection and management of men with prostate cancer. This review will highlight some of the exciting new developments in the field of prostate cancer screening in general and from our SPORE research program at Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. First, it is important to understand that the inhe

Background: Children in families who are refugees might experience more adversities than their peers. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well known risk factors for poorer adulthood health and adjustment. The risk of ACEs for children with a parent who is a refugee affected by trauma is unknown. We aimed to estimate the hazard of individual and cumulative ACEs using a unique sample of childr

Synthesis of nanocomposites based on the low density polyethylene (LDPE) with homogeneous dispersion of CeO2 nanoparticles is reported.

Significance This project describes the existence of previously unknown non-GPI-anchored CD59 isoforms required for insulin secretion, named CD59-IRIS-1 and CD59-IRIS-2, and finds reduced expression of CD59-IRIS isoforms in human diabetic islets, showing a link between dysregulation of IRIS isoforms and defects in insulin secretion in diabetic patients. These data open a path for future studies in

Granitic rocks are durable materials sought after for the production of road and railroad aggregates. Granitic bedrock commonly, however, includes gabbroic components, which may enhance or decrease the aggregate performance. This study evaluates the variation in resistance to fragmentation (Los Angeles value, LA) and wear/abrasion (micro-Deval value, MDE) for the fraction 10/14 mm of gabbro in dif

Inhomogenous Magnetization Transfer (ihMT), the differential response to irradiation at single and dual frequency offsets, is more complex than MT approaches. Expressing ihMT in terms of MT-saturation (ihMTsat) is a first step to quantification as it corrects for underlying T and B . Larger ihMTsat was observed for smaller frequency offsets, which is explained using MTsat as proxy for bound pool s

Using a penalized maximum likelihood, we estimate, for the first time, the velocity distribution of white dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. Our sample consists of 129 675 white dwarfs within 500 pc in Gaia Early Data Release 3. The white dwarf velocity distributions reveal a similar structure to the rest of the solar neighbourhood stars, reflecting that white dwarfs are subject to the same dynami

European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS ERIC) is a legal entity established by the European Commission based on a European Union regulation (the ERIC Regulation). It is co-hosted by Sweden and Denmark and has its statutory seat in Lund, Sweden. This means that, according to the ERIC Regulation, ESS ERIC is a legal subject of both EU law and Swedish national law. In terms of hierarchical interplay bet
