Urban renewal is a process that every city will inevitably go through, but how to retain the historical values in the renewal? Gaoqiao town is a historical and cultural town in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. The history of houses has more than 80 years old. In 2001, the “One City Nine Towns Development Plan” was introduced in Shanghai. The Pudong New Area government aims to develop Gaoqiao Town into a
This thesis aimed to work with different techniques of building archaeology, both traditional and digital. The goal was to define the possibilities offered by the “traditional” and the “digital” building archaeology but also to show the limits of these two methods. The main issue of discussing methodological problems in building archaeology was the need to define digital building archaeology, espe
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur det kooperativa lärandet i undervisningen har förändrat elevers delaktighet och samarbete i klassrummet ur ett lärarperspektiv. Undersökningen bygger på en kvalitativ metod och en deduktiv ansats, i detta fall intervjuundersökningar. Intervjuerna har bestått av fyra stycken intervjuer med fyra olika lärare, på separata utvalda skolor. Resultatet har analyseThe purpose of the study is to investigate how cooperative learning in teaching has changed student participation and collaboration in the classroom from a teacher perspective. The survey is based on a qualitative method and a deductive approach, in this case interview surveys. The interviews consisted of four interviews with four different teachers, at separately selected schools. The results hav
This paper examines five contemporary spiritual festivals, courses and gatherings for women in a Western post-secular context. The purpose of the paper is to contribute to the current feminist debate on alternative spirituality, often referred to as new age, in regard to gender essentialism and agency. Firstly, the analysis explores how the examined discourses construct women as subjects. Secondly
The up-converting ZrO2:Yb3+,E3+ nanomaterials were prepared with the combustion and sal-gel methods. The structure of the materials was cubic except for the minor monoclinic and tetragonal impurities associated with the use of the sal-gel method. The XANES results revealed only the trivalent form for both the Yb and Er dopants. The distance distributions calculated from EXAFS confirm that Er3+ and
Ferrochelatase catalyzes the metallation of protoporphyrin IX in the terminal step of heme biosynthesis. Mutations in the ferrochelatase gene can lead to the disease erythropoietic porphyria. The catalyzing mechanism of ferrochelatase is still not fully understood. In this paper, we have studied the insertion of Fe2+ into the protoporphyrin IX ring by Bacillus subtilis ferrochelatase using combine
Biochemical reactions powered by ATP hydrolysis are fundamental for the movement of molecules and cellular structures. One such reaction is the encapsidation of the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome of an icosahedrally symmetric virus into a preformed procapsid with the help of a genome-translocating NTPase. Such NTPases have been characterized in detail from both RNA and tailed DNA viruses. We p
The concept of neutrophil activation and degranulation as important contributors to disease pathology in invasive group A streptococcal infections has recently been emphasized. This study focuses on two of the most severe streptococcal manifestations, toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis, and the newly described proinflammatory molecule resistin, known to derive from adipocytes and monoc
Mice deficient for SPI-group ETS transcription factors PU.1 or SPI-B fail to generate lymphocytes or do not mount normal antibody mediated immune responses, respectively. PU.1 expression is restricted to B-, T-lymphocytes and macrophages, while SPI-B is expressed in B- and T-lymphocytes. SPI-C is an ETS transcription factor closely related to PU.1 and SPI-B, and expressed temporarily during B-cell
The mechanical integrity of tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) thin films sputtered onto a high temperature aromatic polyester developed for flexible display applications was investigated by means of tensile experiments equipped with electrical measurement, and carried out in-situ in an optical microscope. Attention was paid to the influence of ITO thickness, composition and crystalline microstructure,
The title compound, lithium potassium dialuminium diger-manium octaoxide dihydrate, (K,Li)-(Al,Ge)-GIS (GIS is gismondine), is the result of a 50% Li+ exchange into the K-(Al,Ge)- GIS structure. The (K,Li)-(Al,Ge)-GIS structure was determined from a 4 x 4 x 2 m m octahedral single crystal at the ESRF synchrotron X-ray source. The ion exchange results in a symmetry transformation from I2/a for K-(A
Visits to nest holes by birds other than their owners is a familiar phenomenon for students of breeding biology. In this study, we evaluate that behavior using a transponder reading system. Eighty-five males and females were Fitted with transponders at the end of the incubation period or just after hatching. Nest boxes were fitted with transponder readers from just after hatching until all nestlin
