This paper is concerned with the role the current Bolivian government has played in the industrialization of the country’s poultry sector. In-depth ethnographic fieldwork carried out by the author provides data that allows connecting the spheres of production, distribution, and consumption of industrial chicken meat. In the realm of production, recently, large industries are taking over the market

The decomposition of large stocks of soil organic carbon in thawing permafrost might depend on more than climate change-induced temperature increases: indirect effects of thawing via altered bacterial community structure (BCS) or rooting patterns are largely unexplored. We used a 10-year in situ permafrost thaw experiment and aerobic incubations to investigate alterations in BCS and potential resp

Ganga River system is a life support system to sustain the people of northeast region, India, by providing freshwater resource. In this study, the seasonal heavy metal concentrations of Ganga River system at Haridwar region (India) have been characterised for metal pollution. The collection of water samples was done from 10 different locations and analysed for various metal parameters (Zn, Pb, Mn,

Background and purpose — The optimal treatment for traumatic cartilage injuries remains unknown. Contrast-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) evaluates cartilage quality and a low dGEMRIC index may predict radiographic osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of this study was (a) to explore the results 17 years after surgical treatment of an isolated cartilage knee injury and (b) to evaluate the predicti

Background: A common complaint by people with tinnitus is that they experience that the tinnitus causes attention and concentration problems. Previous studies have examined how tinnitus influences cognitive performance on short and intensive cognitive tasks but without proper control of hearing status. Purpose: To examine the impact tinnitus and high-frequency hearing thresholds have on reading co

A three-session therapist-guided exposure treatment was tested in a consecutive series of eight primary health care patients suffering from panic attacks who specifically used distraction techniques as their primary safety behavior. The Panic Disorder Severity Scale Self-Report (PDSS-SR) was administered at baseline (1-3 weeks before the first session), and 1, 2, and 3 weeks after treatment. Weekl

Deep learning has the potential to drastically increase the accuracy and efficiency of prostate cancer diagnosis, which would be of uttermost use. Today the diagnosis is determined manually from H&E stained specimens using a light microscope. In this paper several different approaches based on convolutional neural networks for prostate cancer classification are presented and compared, using th

The Multi-Blade is a Boron-10-based gaseous thermal neutron detector developed to face the challenge arising in neutron reflectometry at neutron sources. Neutron reflectometers are challenging instruments in terms of instantaneous counting rate and spatial resolution. This detector has been designed according to the requirements given by the reflectometers at the European Spallation Source (ESS) i

Induction heating has the potential to be a very efficient heating method and by using litz wires instead of copper tubes the losses can be significantly reduced. The drawback with litz is the fact that it comprises insulation materials with low temperature resistance, typically in the range 150 – 200 °C. In order to solve this problem a solution is to create channels in the litz structure in whic

Axel Danielsson var redaktör för tidningen Arbetet och en av den tidiga svenska arbetarrörelsens viktigaste ledargestalter. Efter hans tidiga död 1899 vårdades hans minne inom den sydsvenska socialdemokratin under ett helt sekel. I denna artikel görs ett antal nedslag i denna minnesproduktion, från begravningen till Arbetets nedläggning. Danielsson studeras som en minnesplats vars innehåll förändr

This paper presents a robust timing synchronization method for full duplex orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on Long Term Evolution (LTE). The proposed method contains two essential steps: 1) time alignment between the desired signal and self-interference 2) normalized synchronization peak (NSP) index switching. The time alignment is to make the difference in arrival

Prioriteringar i hälso- och sjukvården handlar inte primärt om kronor och ören - prioriteringar är i grunden en fråga om värderingar, Hur skall vi prioritera i hälso- och sjukvården? Vilka moraliska argument har vi för de prioriteringar vi gör? Det är dessa frågor som är utgångspunkterna för denna skrift.
