Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy is used increasingly to probe molecular motions at the aqueous interfaces of biological macromolecules and membranes. By recording the time variation of the fluorescence frequency, thermal atomic fluctuations in the vicinity of the chromophore can be probed. From such fluorescence Stokes shift (FSS) experiments, it has been inferred that water motions in the
Open interviews with 13 fathers were performed, using a hermeneutic phenomenological method, to illuminate their lived experience of caring for their preterm infant. Their lived experience was expressed as a process moving from initial feelings of distance toward feelings of proximity. The process was described as a pendulum that was easily disturbed. Feelings of distance included experiences of l
The aim of this paper is to make it credible that there are feminist reasons for being a republican about freedom. In focus is Quentin Skinner’s conception of republican, or “neo-Roman”, freedom. Republican theory in history has not excelled in making poverty, gender hierarchy, and racism within the republic into main sources of concern. So can there be a radical republican theory of liberty fit f
The thesis concentrates on the issue of bill of lading fraud and discusses legal remedies as to respective type of fraud. Due to complexity and difference of each jurisdiction, the thesis selects English law and Chinese law as targeted jurisdiction, under which the issue of bill of lading will be addressed and analyzed. In addition to domestic law, the recent-adopted international convention, name
I have always been an avid reader and I have often found myself wondering how other people picture the same spaces that are described. In many cases, the built environment is crucial to build a f ictional world for a story to take place, but sometimes it plays a particularly essential part in understanding the story, its characters and events. In these books, the architecture itself is the story.
Building on the case of three municipal currencies (in Brazil, Spain and Belgium), the policy brief argues municipal currencies can be considered transversal careinfrastructures because, depending on their design and governance, theyfacilitate the visualization and circulation of economic, social andenvironmental value in ways that directly address community needs, enhancesocial welfare, promote e
Cells of the exocrine pancreas produce digestive enzymes potentially harmful to the intestinal mucosa. Dopamine has been reported to protect against mucosal injury. In looking for the source of dopamine in the small intestine, we found that the duodenal juice contains high levels of dopamine and that the pancreas itself has a high dopamine [and dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa)] content that does not
Background Creating new therapies often involves drug companies paying healthcare professionals and institutions for research and development (R&D) activities, including clinical trials. However, industry sponsorship can create conflicts of interests. We analysed approaches to drug company R&D payment disclosure in European countries and the distribution of R&D payments at the country
This chapter is an attempt to rectify one of the main shortfalls of the constitutive approach of communication (CCO): the absence of neoliberal capitalism in its conception of both communication and organizations. Any theory of the social must at least consider the current social order at hand, which we refer to as neoliberal capitalism. Building on the theoretical premise that communication is a
It is now established that native language affects one's perception of the world. However, it is unknown whether this effect is merely driven by conscious, language-based evaluation of the environment or whether it reflects fundamental differences in perceptual processing between individuals speaking different languages. Using brain potentials, we demonstrate that the existence in Greek of 2 color
Fotboll och juridik är två system som under en längre tid setts som distinkt separata från varandra. Likväl, i takt med att den europeiska fotbollsindustrin fortsätter att växa gör också behovet av förutsägbar och hållbar lagstiftning det. Under de senaste trettio åren har Europeiska unionens domstol (EU-domstolen) kontinuerligt definierat idrottens särart som en undantagsprincip för sportindustriFootball and law are two systems that for a long time has been seen as distinctively separate from each other. However, as the European footballing industry continues to grow, so does the need for predictable and sustainable legislation. Throughout the last thirty years the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has been continuously defining the specificity of sport as a principle of exemp
Fashion's universal nature does not preclude strong variations in its significance from society to society. As a stratification variable, fashion's importance increases in step with economic growth. Simmel sees the ‘need for distinction’ and the ‘need for union’ as preconditions for fashion, with certain societies lacking the necessary motivation. Variations in fashion's importance have also been
