This paper considers the dual approach to conspiracy theories in anthropological studies. While some anthropologists suggest treating them seriously because they might reveal some truths, others argue that conspiracy theories require serious attention, because they are alarming and present a threat to social cohesion and democracy. Analysing conflicts over HPV immunisation programmes in Ireland, t

To link geophysical field data to specific biological phenomena, controlled laboratory experiments are needed for the understanding of the response of geophysical parameters to changes in biological conditions. In this study, suspensions of bacteria were mixed with sand to create a biofilm growing on a surface and these mixtures were monitored using the geoelectrical spectral induced polarization

AimA person's ability to tolerate negative emotional states (Distress Tolerance - DT), uncertainty in their everyday lives (Intolerance of Uncertainty - IU), and a tendency to appraise their own feelings of anxiety as harmful (Anxiety Sensitivity - AS) have all been identified as vulnerability factors for anxiety and depressive disorders. However, the relationship between these variables and broad

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is caused by insufficient insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. To identify candidates contributing to T2D pathophysiology, we studied human pancreatic islets from ~300 individuals. We found 395 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in islets from individuals with T2D, including, to our knowledge, novel (OPRD1, PAX5, TET1) and previously identified (CHL1, GLRA1, IAPP) ca

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt ett cellskelett som ger struktur åt mito-kondrierna, cellens energifabriker. Skelettet är nödvändigt för mitokondriernas funktion, men forskarna fann även att cancerceller trots defekter utnyttjar skelettet för att kunna bibehålla sin energiproduktion – och därigenom överleva. Cellskelettet i mitokondrierna fungerar ungefär som ett armeringsnät och hjälp

Car-sharing systems with electric vehicles are an alternative to reduce commuting times in big cities and also to mitigate air pollution. Car-sharing exists in 1100 cities around the world. These systems have had positive effects in the cities, replacing between 9 and 23 private vehicles for each car. This document proposes a public car-sharing system for Bogotá. The article focuses on the design

One of the most important routes to employment within the social welfare sector worldwide is higher education, which equips students not only with the knowledge for employment, but with the tools to use and build on this knowledge. During the last few decades there has been an academic drift in professional education, especially for many shorter professional programmes. Many of these shorter progr

Pollutant transport in the unsaturated soil zone is a potential threat to surface and ground water resources. The intensity and volume of rainfall are the parameters that decide how fast and deep the pollutants will be transported. Climate models predict a future rainfall climate with higher total volume and higher intensities. In the present study we try to assess effects on unsaturated solute tr

The article treats panorama scenes in the novels Father Goriot (1837–1843) by Honoré de Balzac and The Red Room (1879) by August Strindberg. My observations focus on the main characters Eugène de Rastignac and Arvid Falk, and the emotions that the capital arise in them where they stand in their high positions in front of Paris and Stockholm respectively; Rastignac on the hill of the Père Lachaise
