In the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGoM), the Louisiana Shelf (LS) and Mississippi Bight (MB) subregions are influenced by eutrophication to varying degrees. Despite recognition that dissolved silicon may regulate diatom productivity in the nGoM, there is only one published data set reporting biogenic silica (bSiO2) production rates for each subregion. We report that bSiO2 production rates on the LS

Recent years has seen a number of music researchers taking interest in the concept of affordances. Although interpretation of the concept varies, a common denominator is that affordances are opportunities for actions emerging between a subject and the environment. As such, it is an analytical perspective that highlights material and embodied dynamics of musical practice, dimensions central to musi

This book examines how caseworkers are governed in today’s street-level bureaucracies. It redefines our understanding of public sector governance by highlighting the subtle, informal, and everyday forms of organizational governance that shape caseworkers’ subjectivities beyond formal policies and professional identities. Based on four distinct types of normative governance – ‘governance by discour

HPLC-PDA-MS/MS analysis of Syzygium jambos leaf extract allowed the identification of 17 secondary metabolites, including flavonol glycosides, flavonol di-glycosides, and flavones as well as ellagitannins and phenolic acids. The extract showed promising antioxidant activities in different experimental models. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the extract mediated a dose dependent survival rate and decrea

The rise of antibiotic-resistant soil microbial communities is a critical global issue. Evidence suggests that heavy metals can select or co-select for tolerance to metals and antibiotics in soil bacteria, but it is unclear if this tolerance varies with land use. We tested the potential of bacterial communities to develop resistance to copper (Cu) or tetracycline (Tet) after amending soils from pr

This paper discusses how archaeologists might investigate issues of poverty by focusing on poorhouses. The poor and deprived are rarely prominent objects in archaeological research, probably because archaeologists find it difficult to relate to a concept such as poverty. At the same time, there is material culture that can be clearly linked to poverty. One such materiality is poorhouses. While the

In 20 CE, Aemilia Lepida was tried before the senatorial court. When the court recessed for a holiday, she rallied support by referring to her Pompeian ancestry, choosing as her venue the theatre built by her great-grandfather Pompey himself. Accompanied by a group of fellow elite women (clarae feminae), Lepida entered the theatre and invoked the imagines of her great ancestor with tearful lamenta

Commencing from the question “what makes mysticism feminine?” (a medical-historical conception of female bodies being receptive to some forms of mystical experiences? following an idea of gendered embodiment, a specific feminine spiritual corporeality?), the presence of forms of violence preceding the beatification or sanctification of women as victim souls caught my attention.Examples like Laura

Numerous studies have examined the challenges associated with developing second-home (SH) tourism in rural areas. However, little attention has been given to exploring the influence of power dynamics and rent-seeking behavior on the Real Estate Market for second homes (SHs). To address this research gap, our study conducted face-to-face interviews with key stakeholders in five selected villages in

This book emerged from an initiative to take the scholarly discussion on extraterritorial human rights a step further. The result is the first publication in the field that takes a point of departure in the standard legal building blocks of obligation, jurisdiction, causation, attribution and remedies, and it does so in the context of largely under-examined economic, social and cultural rights. Th

Beyond Westphalia Human rights are often framed within a territorial perspective. The phrase can easily conjure up images of citizens struggling for their rights with their own governments rather than with distant foreign governments. The idea of human rights gained prominence in the wake of the establishment of a Westphalian world order of 1648, with territorially distinct States exercising sover

The definition of a decision support system(DSS) may be : human-computer interactive software system to solve semi-structured decisional problems for decisional makers with data utilizing, information management, knowledge, as well as model techniques. DSS only provide supporting information about making decision for the decision maker without stipulate the decision itself. Decision is made by hum

This chapter argues for the importance of developing historical reference frames for Scandinavian children born to foreign fighters in the so-called Islamic State (IS)—that is, seeing them as children born of war (CBOW) rather than as “IS children”—to strengthen the case for their repatriation from Kurdish detention camps. Politicians across the region today stress they want to repatriate the chil

Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and high levels of disinhibition have been associated with a variety of negative outcomes such as aggressive antisocial behavior (AAB). However, forensic psychiatric populations remain an understudied group in this field of research. This study aimed to fill that gap by investigating associations between ACE, AAB, and disinhibition in a forensic psychiatric samp
