Contributing to global urban history, planning theory and the geography of ideas, this article discusses the travels of Henri Lefebvre’s The Right to the City in the wake of May 1968, in France. That year, under the direction of Mario González and Max Baquero, a small team including the Italian architect Vittorio Garatti, French planner Jean-Pierre Garnier and Spanish architect Eusebio Azcue, at t
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous anthropogenic particles that accumulate in coastal zones, sediments, and the water column. The exposure of organisms to MPs in these habitats may depend on foraging strategies and landscape characteristics. This study compared MP contamination in the feces of waterbirds from two trophic groups: benthivores (American oystercatcher Haematopus palliatus; white-backe
Anemia is a common problem when patients present with cancer, and it can worsen during treatment. Anemia can directly impact the cognitive and physical quality of life and may impair fitness for oncological therapy. The most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency. Newer intravenous (IV) iron formulations offer a safe and rapidly effective treatment option. We performed a systematic mapping revi
Background: Chimney endovascular aneurysm repair (chEVAR) techniques have been described to manage a group of patients who are unsuitable for either open aortic aneurysm surgery or a variety of standard endovascular repair techniques. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term clinical outcomes of chEVAR in emergency settings for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms that have complex mo
Due to the threat climate change poses, the aviation industry needs to adapt. In the process to convert the aviation fleet into a more environmentally friendly fleet, using biofuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels as a drop-in fuel remains a promising option. To include biofuels, safety aspects need to be investigated, where combustion instabilities are important. Thermo-acoustic instabilities
This study examined how self- and teacher-rated executive functioning (EF), measured with the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Second Edition, differed between adolescents with and without self-reported neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs; e.g., autism), across levels of internalizing symptoms, and how EF, NDDs, and internalizing symptoms related to academic achievement. Analyses i
This thesis introduces the field of biomedical or diffuse optics and covers basic principles of light propagation in highly scattering media. Physics is well supported by mathematical derivations and equations, which is essential for the development of analytical models. These models are applied to three main fields.First, in photodynamic therapy (PDT) — a promising approach, based on a dynamic in
Den omvälvande förändring som banade väg för det som kommit att kallas kunskapsekonomin har lett till en omfattande avindustrialisering av de regionala ekonomierna. Den har omformat grundvalarna för de lokala arbetsmarknaderna och förändrat riktningen i den regionala ojämna utvecklingen och löneskillnaderna. Mycket av den akademiska debatten har dock antingen grundats i nationella studier av lönesThe transformational change that ushered in what became known as the knowledge economy has led to widespread deindustrialisation of regional economies. It has reshaped the foundations of local labour markets and shifted the momentum of regional uneven development and wage inequalities. Much of the academic debate, however, has either been grounded in national-level studies of wage disparities or f
The pseudorapidity distribution of charged hadrons produced in Au+Au collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sNN = 200 GeV is measured using data collected by the sPHENIX detector. Charged hadron yields are extracted by counting cluster pairs in the inner and outer layers of the Intermediate Silicon Tracker, with corrections applied for detector acceptance, reconstruction efficiency, combinatoria
A search for the dimuon decay of the Higgs boson is presented based on pp collision data recorded by ATLAS during Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 165 fb-1 at √s = 13.6 TeV. To enhance the sensitivity, the results are combined with those from Run 2. An excess of events over the background is observed with a significance of 3.4σ (2.5σ expected). The b
This paper explores the changing role and place of handicrafts in contemporary rural development processes. Building on fieldwork conducted in four settlements in northern Thailand and Vietnam, we discuss how a traditional sector is being reshaped under the forces of globalisa- tion and what this means for the character of rural livelihoods. This empirical analysis permits us to reflect on wider a
This paper explores the changing nature of social institutions and organizations for resource management on Ontong Java and their central role in maintaining livelihoods. Using detailed field data for three time periods, 1970-72, 1986 and 2006-07, and drawing on earlier secondary data, a longitudinal analysis of changes in governance and livelihoods is undertaken. Increased exploitation of marine
A number of recent experiments have indicated that magnetic nanoparticles can become locally hotter than their nonmagnetic surroundings during induction heating. While such nanoscale hotspot-effect is particularly attractive for applications within biomedicine and catalysis, its existence is a topic of scientific controversy. To address this, we here present simultaneous measurements of the intern
OBJECTIVES: To identify the lowest sensitivity and specificity that physicians and the general population consider acceptable for medical artificial intelligence (AI), relative to current human performance.METHODS: In a nationwide, cross-sectional survey in Sweden, 2025, random samples of 500 physicians and 500 adults from the general population were mailed a questionnaire presenting three vignett
The resilience performance of networked microgrids (NMGs) in disaster-prone areas, using a real-world testbed located in Lombok, Indonesia is explored in this paper. Given the increasing environmental pressures and energy security concerns in Indonesia, it is vital to improve the robustness and sustainability of decentralized energy infrastructures. We propose an optimization-based energy manageme
This article explores the lived contradictions entailed in being a young member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) today. The focus is on how political and existential issues intersect. It explores partymembership as a strategy for personal mobility among Beijing elite university students by providing an ethnographic account of the quandaries of two young CCP members. Even though one student is
An increasing number of children grow up in joint physical custody (JPC), prompting interest in how this arrangement affects their development. Particularly, questions about the impact of JPC on early attachment development have placed young children at the forefront of scholarly attention. Yet, no systematic synthesis of research has examined attachment development in young children living in JPC
The optical response of gold-silver (Au-Ag) alloy nanoparticles is strongly influenced by their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which can be tuned by varying the particle composition. Accurate simulation of LSPR, often performed using Mie theory, critically depends on the choice of dielectric function, yet available datasets for gold, silver, and their alloys vary widely. In this work,
