Growing and eating food are cultural practices that simultaneously make physical bodies, shape landscapes, and produce racial (together with class/ethno/spatial) knowledge and identity. This chapter strives to complement the large body of work on race and racism in Brazil and elsewhere with an exploration of how some people in the Brazilian state of Bahia experience and communicate racialized iden

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur förklarar vi vad som hände efter Big Bang? Hur är det möjligt att titta 14 miljarder år tillbaka i tiden, isolera de första miljarddelarna av en sekund, och studera vad som pågår precis där och då? Svaret är såklart, att vi inte kan det. Det vi kan göra, är att om och om igen återskapa några viktiga aspekter av de förhållanden som rådde då, och studera vad som händeA new energy regime has recently become accessible in collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Abundant in hadron collisions, the two-jet final state explores the structure of the constituents of matter and the possible emergence of new forces of nature, in the largest momentum transfer collisions produced. The results from searches for phenomena beyond the Standard Model in the dijet angu

Combining technology enabled learning and knowledge management is a very promising strategy to systematic competence building in software organizations. In order to set-up a combined learning and knowledge management environment and to support organization members in packaging small chunks of knowledge into courseware modules, Fraunhofer IESE developed the IntView-KM methodology. IntView-KM define

Classification of surfaces in the near field using millimeter-wave radar commonly considers the use of polarization based methods for road condition monitoring. When a surface consists of larger structures one instead wishes to monitor the surface topography. Analysis of scattering from rough surfaces is highly complex and relies on prior knowledge of surface structure. In this work a device movin

The issue of pharmaceutical pollution has recently gained attention on the international political agenda as several actors have raised concern for its negative impact on ecosystems, human health, and livelihoods in emerging economies where an increasing share of the pharmaceutical production is located due to the cheaper labor and less stringent environmental regulations. In 2019, the OECD publis

Forced air convection systems are the most preferred design of choice in many of the industrial-scale convection ovens. In this study, experimental investigation on convective heat transfer and mass transfer within a forced air convection oven was performed at different oven temperatures (100℃, 110℃ and 120℃) and at flow velocity (2 m/s, 3 m/s and 4 m/s) using potato slices (10*10*60 mm) as model

Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, a polar ocean specialist, thrives in the Antarctic severe physical conditions. The krill life cycle consists of strategies that have enabled and supported the species’ dominance of the Antarctic Ocean. Sea Ice extent and duration creates condition that are crucial for survival of the Furcilia larvae. The species has flexibility to food resources and is omnivorou

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that plays a major role in climate change. Significant uncertainty exists in the estimates of emissions from natural methane sources. This uncertainty in data is one of the primary scientific challenges in climate model. Geological seepage considered as the second largest natural source of methane after wetlands and today is recognized as a major contributor to a

Objective: Previous research using personality traits to predict life outcomes has typically utilized the Big Five factors and, occasionally, their facets. However, recent research suggests that using items (reflecting personality nuances) can account for greater predictive variance. The present study examines the predictive validity of the different levels of the personality trait hierarchy (fact

In response to the pressing need to address climate change and reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this study implemented Gaussian Mixture Models Clustering to detect the levels of GHG emissions and related socio-economic factors in 174 countries. To handle the panel data, Principal Component Analysis was conducted to achieve dimension reduction. Based on the algorithm, countries were gr

In recent years, land acquisition has escalated due to increased global demand for food and fuel driven by population growth, urbanisation, and growing energy demand. Mozambique is ranked as one of the world’s top 10 countries with available land for agriculture, forestry and livestock production. Low labour costs and land taxes may further increase the interest in Mozambican land. In particular,

Intra locus sexual conflict (IASC) occurs when sex-specific optima for a certain trait differs, and the trait is controlled by shared genes across the sexes. Sexual dimorphism is recognized to be a sign of previous or ongoing sexually antagonistic selection in separate sexed species, while hermaphrodites have been overlooked in the past due to their monomorphic appearance. Despite this, hermaphrod

Oats have been gaining huge popularity in the past three decades, due to its well-known positive effects in serum cholesterol levels, glucose homeostasis and insulinemia. A growing body of evidence shows a link between obesity, metabolic dysfunctions and gut microbiota composition. The main objective of the project is to develop an oat bran and milk based fiber-rich beverage and an oat based yogur

Currently, the legal provisions and the administrative practice of the European Patent Organization, the EPO, concerning the patentability of computer-implemented inventions are ambiguous and unclear. The contracting states to the EPO have all reproduced the legal framework, the European Patent Convention, into national law but the administrative practices of the national courts has led to a diver

Vessel-source pollution is regarded as one of the major sources that harm marine environment. It has become an issue of public concern since 20th century due to a series of oil pollution incidents on the sea. Fortunately, international law has been developed to control this source of pollution taking consideration of the importance of protection and preservation of marine environment and sustainab
