This article explores the burgeoning Nepalese hip-hop scene – commonly known as nep-hop – as a discursive intervention in the post-war politics of Nepal. Its core argument is that nep-hop oftentimes demonstrates an ethos of peacebuilding through popular culture. Indeed, many songs explicitly criticize violence, war, and the political leaders who recently brought the nation to a civil war. Yet, thi
Although seemingly effortless, the control of the human hand is backed by an elaborate neuro-muscular mechanism. The end result is typically a smooth action with the precise positioning of the joints of the hand and an exerted force that can be modulated to enable precise interaction with the surroundings. Unfortunately, even the most sophisticated technology cannot replace such a comprehensive ro
Vi presenterar skyddsåtgärder som vidtagits som en del av åtgärdsprogrammet ”Projekt Skräntärna” under perioden 2007–2020 i Sveriges största koloni, Stenarna i Björns skärgård, Uppland. En kombination av övervakning, forskning och förvaltningsåtgärder genomfördes enligt en flexibel strategi, där både etablerade och nya tekniker användes. Varje år under häckningssäsongen gjordes fyra besök för att WE PRESENT CONSERVATI ON ACTI ONS during 2007–2020 as part of the national Caspian Tern Hydroprogne caspia species action plan at Stenarna in the Björn archipelago, Uppland, the largest colony in Sweden. We applied a combination of monitoring, research, and management measures conducted within an adaptive approach frame-work, using both established and novel techniques. The implementation of conse
In Streamflow prediction the most important triggering/controlling variables are related to climate, physiography, and landscape patterns. This study investigated the effect of different landscape metrics to relate spatial patterns to surface runoff processes and predict monthly streamflow using climatic and physiographic variables for the 42 sub-basins of the Urmia Lake Basin in Iran. We develope
Background: Cognitive reserve and resilience are terms used to explain interindividual variability in maintenance of cognitive health in response to adverse factors, such as brain pathology in the context of aging or neurodegenerative disorders. There is substantial interest in identifying tractable substrates of resilience to potentially leverage this phenomenon into intervention strategies. One
Sharing is considered as one of the key elements in circular economy, as well as away to deliver social impact. According to the New Bauhaus initiative by the EuropeanCommission, new neighbourhoods should be environmentally sustainable, provide anaesthetic experience, and deliver social inclusion. This study explores the emergence of sharing business models in the real estate industry. The aim is
Kinesthetic teaching allows human operators to reprogram part of a robot’s trajectory by manually guiding the robot. To allow kinesthetic teaching, and also to avoid any harm to both the robot and its environment, Cartesian impedance control is here used for trajectory following. In this paper, we present an online method to modify the compliant behavior of a robot toward its environment, so that
Introduction. In policies and research, public libraries are often put forth as public spheres promoting inclusion and shared values. This article investigates possible implications of replacing the idea of the library as public sphere with a plurality of public spheres, thereby acknowledging existing inequalities and conflicts between adversaries.Method. The paper is conceptual, focusing on deepe
Purpose or ObjectiveTo evaluate two commercial, CE labeled deep learning-based models for automatic organs at risk segmentation on planning CT images for prostate cancer radiotherapy. Model evaluation was focused on assessing both geometrical metrics and evaluating a potential time saving.Material and MethodsThe evaluated models consisted of RayStation 10B Deep Learning Segmentation (RaySearch Lab
Sedimentary molybdenum (Mo) and uranium (U) enrichments are widely used to reconstruct changes in bottom water oxygen conditions in aquatic environments. Until now, most studies using Mo and U have focused on restricted suboxic-euxinic basins and continental margin oxygen minimum zones (OMZs), leaving mildly reducing and oxic (but eutrophic) coastal depositional environments vastly understudied. C
Recent findings support the hypothesis that inhibition of SMYD3 methyltransferase may be a therapeutic avenue for some of the deadliest cancer types. Herein, active site-selective covalent SMYD3 inhibitors were designed by introducing an appropriate reactive cysteine trap into reversible first-generation SMYD3 inhibitors. The 4-aminopiperidine derivative EM127 (11C) bearing a 2-chloroethanoyl grou
Background: Newborn infants affected by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) undergo therapeutic hypothermia. As this treatment seems to be associated with pain, and intensive and invasive care is needed, pharmacological interventions are often used. Moreover, painful procedures in the newborn period can affect pain responses later in life, impair brain development, and possibly have a long-term
