The uniform organisation of the neuronal circuitry throughout the cerebellar cortex suggests a uniform mode of operation and thus emphasises the importance of local afferent and efferent connections in determining the function of a particular part of the cortex. Based on the organisation of these connections the cerebellar cortex of the cat is divided into about ten sagittally oriented zones (see

We show the capability of in-situ and ex-situ grazing-incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and diffraction (GID) techniques, using synchrotron radiation, to study the formation of self-organized nanodot patterns on semiconductor targets by ion beam sputtering (IBS). Particularly, surface nanopatterns of short-range hexagonal arrays of nanodots (as observed by atomic force microscopy ima

The structural transformation of retail is challenging for many small cities. Rather than seeing the retailer as a sole player, this article considers retail in small cities to be shaped in a retail eco system consisting of many different actors besides retailers such as municipalities, landlords, business/city organisations, customers/citizens. The key contribution of the article is to provide ne

In this chapter, we draw upon theoretical and empirical contributions from environmen-tal politics, sustainability studies, and Science and Technology Studies (STS) to examine how the specialized knowledge of technical experts and the informal knowledge of non-experts infuence debates about sustainability and the environment. Of particular interest is how experts from diferent discipli

The X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) with its subregions X-ray Absorption Near-edge Structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) is a powerful tool for the structural analysis of materials, which is nowadays a standard component of research strategies in many fields. This review covers a wide range of topics related to its measurement and use: the origin of the fine

Epi is a humanoid robot developed by Lund University Cognitive Science Robotics Group. It was designed to be used in experiments in developmental robotics and has proportions to give a childlike impression while still being decidedly robotic. The robot head has two degrees of freedom in the neck and each eye can independently move laterally. There is a camera in each eye to make stereovision possi

There is an increasing expectation from research funding bodies that projects in working life and policy research (and other fields) should demonstrate clear and demonstrable impacts on policy and practice. In turn, many also argue that impact, beyond scientific impact, can be leveraged by stakeholder engagement. But what do we mean by stakeholder engagement in the conduct of working life research?

Differences in public health approaches to control the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic could largely explain substantial variations in epidemiological indicators (such as incidence and mortality) between the West and the East. COVID-19 revealed vulnerabilities of most western countries' healthcare systems in their response to the ongoing public health crisis. Hence, western countries

A study on the fracture characteristics of unmodified and chemically modified Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) is presented. The investigated material consisted of small-dimension sawn timber originating from young logs (thinnings), aged 30–40 years. The modified samples were acetylated with acetic anhydride in an industrial scale process without the use of any catalyst, reaching an acetyl content of

Aims and objectives: To reveal meanings of family members' lived experiences when a loved one undergoes an interhospital intensive care unit-to-unit transfer. Background: Interhospital intensive care unit-to-unit transfers take place between different hospitals and their respective intensive care units (ICUs). These types of transfers are an increasing phenomenon but are sparsely studied from the

Objective: Autonomous cortisol secretion and possible autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS/pACS) are associated to an increase of cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia. To our knowledge, the prevalence of smoking, another well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease, has not been studied in detail in people with ACS/pACS or adrenal incidenta
