An account of a poem inspired by a monument in the gardens of a stately home in Denmark.

Background: Actinomycetes of the genus Streptomyces are renowned for their highly developed and diverse specialized metaboliс pathways, and there is an extensive body of data on their specific and pleiotropic levels of regulation. Much less is known about routes leading to essential metabolites in this genus. In this work, we focused on elucidating the function of the highly conserved across Strep

Mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD) policies seem to represent a pathbreaking shift from voluntary measures to binding rules for global supply chains. Yet these policies endorse a “smart-mix” of voluntary and mandatory measures, and risk over-reliance on questionable private-sector assurances. In this paper, we ask how businesses framed these private/voluntary efforts in

In contemporary Sri Lanka, nationalistic Sinhala organizations like Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) have made a great impact on the debate over what role Buddhism should play in the country. BBS claims that Islam is a non-Sri Lankan element in the Buddhist majority society, campaigning on such issues on social media between 2012 and 2014. This led Sri Lankan Muslim organizations to use social media to counte

As decolonization transformed world geopolitics, various Eastern Europeanauthoritarian ultranationalist groups sought to instrumentalize anti-imperialism in their attempts to launch a violent overthrow of the socialist regimes of the Soviet bloc.

Background: Accurate diagnosis and staging are essential for optimal treatment planning of prostate cancer. By combining functional and anatomical imaging, PSMA-PET/mpMRI offers a potential to improve lesion detection and enhance staging accuracy. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of lesion detection and local staging of prostate cancer using combined PSMA-PET/mpMRI compared

Existing tests of reference-dependent preferences assume universal loss aversion. This paper examines the implications of heterogeneity in gain-loss attitudes for such tests. In experiments on labor supply and exchange behavior, we first measure gain-loss attitudes and then study a canonical treatment effect that distinguishes different models of reference dependence. We document substantial heter
