Effective medium theory for the low-temperature heat capacity of a metasolid plate

2023

Nanopatterning can be used to strongly control the thermal properties of solids, but theoretical understanding relies often on complex numerical simulations. Here, an analytical theory is derived for the low temperature heat capacity of a nanopatterned phononic crystal plate, focusing on the geometry of a square lattice of cylindrical holes in an isotropic matrix material. Its quasistatic elastic properties were studied using an anisotropic effective medium theory, that is, considering it as a homogenized metasolid. The effective elastic parameters can then be used as an input for an anisotropic plate theory, yielding analytical expressions for the dispersion relations of the three lowest p…

Personifikacja a cud w polskiej teorii epopei lat porozbiorowych

2023

In Romanticism, the employment of abstract concepts within an epic ‘miracle machine’ was arranged by means of personification. This was the case until Antoni Malczewski, a Polish Romantic poet, introduced free indirect speech which facilitated linking anthropomorphised abstractions with their ‘genetic subjects,’ i.e. experiencing characters. The ‘miracle machine,’ by definition, was intended to be a response to a changeable vision of the world determined by history. Yet, what can be observed in poems of the late eighteen and early nineteenth century is, though with varying intensity, the presence of mythological characters along with Christian supernatural creatures, natural phenomena as we…

A synthesis of multi-taxa management experiments to guide forest biodiversity conservation in Europe

2023

Most European forests are used for timber production. Given the limited extent of unmanaged (and especially primary) forests, it is essential to include commercial forests in the conservation of forest biodiversity. In order to develop ecologically sustainable forest management practices, it is important to understand the management impacts on forest-dwelling organisms. Experiments allow testing the effects of alternative management strategies, and monitoring of multiple taxa informs us on the response range across forest-dwelling organisms. To provide a representative picture of the currently available information, metadata on 28 multi-taxa forest management experiments were collected from…

Les projections d’orientation en STAPS chez les lycéennes : entre attractivité d’autres filières et cohérence d’habitus féminin

2023

Cette contribution montre que, si les lycéennes évoquent l’existence de représentations stéréotypées particulièrement présentes parmi leurs camarades (masculins en particulier) et plus encore parmi les médias (internet, réseaux sociaux et télévision), la formation (ou pas) d’un projet d’orientation en STAPS ne semble pas en premier lieu influencée par une représentation particulièrement masculine de la formation en STAPS et des métiers qui lui sont associés. Elle permet de souligner que les lycéennes qui n’envisagent pas de s’orienter en STAPS se caractérisent par des choix scolaires et sportifs ainsi que des goûts qui s’organisent autour de pratiques, de compétences et de dispositions assi…

Kjerneelementet Resonnering og argumentasjon i lærerveiledninger

2023

Med innføringen av den nye læreplanen, Kunnskapsløftet 2020, ble viktige kompetanser i matematikkfaget listet opp ved hjelp av kjerneelementene. Disse gir lærerne tydelige retningslinjer for hva som skal gjennomsyre faget på tvers av temaene. Kjerneelementene er hva elevene må lære for å kunne mestre og anvende faget, og de skal bidra til at elevene over tid utvikler forståelse av innhold og sammenhenger. Et av kjerneelementene i matematikk er Resonnering og argumentasjon. Det handler om at elevene skal kunne følge, vurdere og forstå matematiske tankerekker, og at elevene skal begrunne fremgangsmåter, resonnementer og løsninger og bevise at disse er gyldige (Kunnskapsdepartementet, 20…

Interdisciplinary dynamics and generic conventions: the case of Clinical Ethics Committees

2023

In recent years, Clinical Ethics Committees (CECs) have become increasingly istitutionalised by way of a growing belief that they play an important role in successfully helping health care professionals to address ethical dilemmas. The majority of members have a medical or nursing background, with an increasing number of legal members, lay, and religious representation, and discuss a variety of issues that might arise in clinical settings, from Withholding and Withdrawing Treatment and Do Not Resuscitate Orders, to Advance Directives and Confidentiality, to name just a few. In this regard, the UK Clinical Ethics Network (UKCEN) was established in 2001 to provide support for the growing numb…

Redox and guest tunable spin-crossover properties in a polymeric polyoxometalate

2023

A bifunctionalized polyoxometalate (POM), [V6O19(C16H15N6O)2]2−, which contains a redox active hexavanadate moiety covalently linked to two tridentate 2,6-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (1-bpp) ligands, has been prepared and characterized. Reaction of this hybrid molecule with Fe(II) or Zn(II) ions produces crystalline neutral 1D networks of formula Fe[V6O19(C16H15N6O)2]·solv (2) and Zn[V6O19(C16H15N6O)2]·solv (3) (solv = solvent molecules). Magnetic properties of 2 show an abrupt spin-crossover (SCO) with the temperature, which can be induced by light irradiation at 10 K (Light-Induced Excited Spin-State Trapping, LIESST effect). Interestingly, this porous and flexible structure enables reversi…

2023

Ixodes ricinus ticks are Scandinavia's main vector for tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), which infects many people annually. The aims of the present study were (i) to obtain information on the TBEV prevalence in host-seeking I. ricinus collected within the Øresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak (ØKS) region, which lies in southern Norway, southern Sweden and Denmark; (ii) to analyse whether there are potential spatial patterns in the TBEV prevalence; and (iii) to understand the relationship between TBEV prevalence and meteorological factors in southern Scandinavia. Tick nymphs were collected in 2016, in southern Scandinavia, and screened for TBEV, using pools of 10 nymphs, with RT real-time PCR, an…

Supramolecular Structure and Antimicrobial Activity of Ni(II) Complexes with s-Triazine/Hydrazine Type Ligand

2023

The two complexes, [Ni(DPPT)2](NO3)2*1.5H2O (1) and [Ni(DPPT)(NO3)Cl].EtOH (2), were synthesized using the self-assembly of (E)-2,4-di(piperidin-1-yl)-6-(2-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)-1,3,5-triazine (DPPT) with Ni(NO3)2*6H2O in the absence and presence of NiCl2*6H2O, respectively. In both cases, the neutral tridentate DPPT ligand is found coordinated to the Ni(II) via three N-atoms from the hydrazone, pyridine and s-triazine rings. Hence, the homoleptic complex 1 has a NiN6 hexa-coordination environment while two NO3− are counter anions in addition to one-and-a-half crystallized hydration water molecules are found acting as an outer sphere. The heteroleptic complex 2 has a NiN3O…

La oposición senatorial durante el principado de Augusto

2023

Augusto se erigió como único líder del mundo romano a partir del año 30 a.C. Al año siguiente regresó a Roma victorioso después de haber derrotado a Marco Antonio y Cleopatra en Egipto. A pesar de ello, el resto de su gobierno no se vio exento de otros conflictos internos, a los cuales tuvo que hacer frente para salir airoso de todos ellos. En esta tesis estudiaremos los conflictos que tuvo que encarar en el Senado, gracias a un buen elenco de fuentes que atestiguan el enfrentamiento de algunos senadores con Augusto. No obstante, previamente a esta investigación sobre los opositores en época augústea, indagaremos en las relaciones que el Senado y el princeps mantuvieron a lo largo de su pri…

Mortality associations with DNA methylation-based biological aging and physical functioning measures across a 20-year follow-up period

2023

Background Measures of biological aging range from DNA methylation (DNAm)-based estimates to measures of physical abilities. The purpose of this study was to compare DNAm- and physical functioning-based measures of biological aging in predicting mortality. Methods We studied 63- to 76-year-old women (N = 395) from the Finnish Twin Study on Aging (FITSA). Participants’ biological age (epigenetic clocks DNAm GrimAge and DunedinPACE) was estimated using blood DNAm data. Tests of physical functioning conducted under standardized laboratory conditions included the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and 10-m walk test. Mortality hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated per every one standard deviation (SD) in…

Effect of Information Intervention on Prescribing Practice for Neuropathic Pain in Older Patients : A Nationwide Register-Based Study

2023

Introduction Management of prescription medicines is challenging for older patients due to frail health and the prevalence of multiple chronic conditions. A salient policy challenge of prescribing practices is that all physicians are not well informed about the national clinical guidelines. A feasible policy intervention to mitigate the harms caused by Potentially Inappropriate Medications is to influence the frequency of prescribing and other prescribing attributes of the drugs by providing accurate and up-to-date information about the national clinical guidelines. Objectives The objective of this study was to examine the effect of a nationwide information intervention on physicians’ presc…

Escribir sobre las mujeres, escribir sobre el matrimonio. El pensamiento humanista

2023

En los años setenta del siglo XX cobraron relevancia los estudios sobre la historia de las mujeres, un modo de interpretar el pasado en el que ellas ya no eran concebidas como objetos pasivos, sino como sujetos conscientes y activos. Por tanto, había que reescribir su historia, elaborar un relato que entrara en diálogo e interacción con la Historia general para poder inscribirlas en esta de manera más completa y real. Se trata, pues, de una historia de las mujeres, pero que comprende y afecta también a los hombres, y a cómo las relaciones entre los sexos se han ido construyendo en los distintos momentos de la historia, tanto en los espacios sociales y políticos como en los privados.

K∗(892)0 and φ(1020) production in p-Pb collisions at √sNN = 8.16 TeV

2023

The production of K∗(892)0 and ϕ(1020)resonances has been measured in p-Pb collisions at √sNN = 8.16 TeV using the ALICE detector. Resonances are reconstructed via their hadronic decay channels in the rapidity interval −0.5 8 GeV/c), the RpPb values of all hadrons are consistent with unity within uncertainties. The RpPb of K∗(892)0and ϕ(1020)at √sNN = 8.16 and 5.02 TeV show no significant energy dependence. peerReviewed

Engaging Employees via Digital Technologies : An Integrative Model of Change Management and Communication via Internal Social Media

2023

Internal social media (ISM) has increasingly gained relevance as a networking platform on which employees can share content and actively engage in conversations across functions, regions, and hierarchical levels. Many employees have been working from home, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, using a variety of ISM platforms—a trend that could continue to increase. While the COVID-19 pandemic is only one example of how organisations must continuously change to adapt to a new context, research shows that it is difficult for management to implement changes successfully among employees, and most change initiatives fail. ISM provides a dynamic and interactive communication arena in which em…

Involvering i gruppearbeid

2023

Forskningsarbeidets formål er å undersøke hvordan elever arbeider i grupper med utforsking- og problemløsningsoppgaver. Gruppearbeid som undervisningsform stiller flere sosiale krav til deltakerne, som for eksempel å kunne lytte, stille spørsmål, korrigere og kritisere hverandre underveis, noe som er krevende for flere elever (Simensen, 2022; Sjöblom & Meaney, 2021). Til grunn for forskningsdesignet og analysen lå Louis Radfords sosialkulturelle teori om objektivisering (Radford, 2021). I teorien er involvering i felles arbeid («joint labor») en betingelse for tilgang og utvikling av matematisk kompetanse for eleven. Involvering er derfor et utgangspunkt i forskningsspørsmålene som stilles:…

Integration of pomace and grape seeds in feed of broiler chickens: effect on the chemical characteristics of the meat

2023

Recently, consumer demand for healthier, safer, good quality food products has increased. The use of grape pomace and grape seeds, natural antioxidants rich in polyphenols and known for their ability to prevent lipid oxidation, has attracted significant interest and could become an important alternative as a partial substitute for vitamin E which is the most commonly used antioxidant in animal diets. In this context, the valorization and reuse of wine industry wastes could be a way to reduce costs for companies and damage to the environment [1]. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding different percentages of pomace and grape seeds to the diet of broiler chickens. T…

Innovation processes in a stigmatized industry vs. non – stigmatized industry

2023

The gambling industry is one of the oldest professions in our history, and from the start until now, the industry has changed. The industry has gone from being a land – based activity to an online based activity in recent years. Due to tremendous technological innovations, the number of problem gamblers has increased– resulting in the gambling industry being considered a stigmatized industry. This thesis aims to shed more light on how stigmatized businesses innovate their services and tries to fill some of the gaps in the existing literature. Furthermore, this thesis compares the gambling industry to the Video – on – Demand (VoD) industry, as they are both online service providers, offering…

Enjoyment of Interactive Fiction Compared to Non-Interactive fiction, in a Norwegian EFL Classroom

2023

This master’s thesis aims to shed light on using “interactive fiction” (IF) to promote reader engagement in a Norwegian EFL (English foreign language) classroom. In this thesis I look at interactive fiction in light of reading pleasure, enjoyment, and extensive reading. In this paper, I research whether a class of eighteen Norwegian 5th grade EFL students enjoy interactive fiction. The classroom intervention spanned three 60-minute English lessons, over three days. For this project they read both an interactive text and a non-interactive one. The students wrote reading journals where they wrote about their experiences with the two texts, before they answered a questionnaire on the final day…

Soyinka's Chronicles - published 48 years after his latest novel, The Interpreters - offers a fictional fresco of contemporary Nigeria, a country ridden by political and moral corruption. During the latest political campaigns, Dr. Menka finds out that some colleagues at the hospital where he works sell body parts for ritualistic reasons. Afflicted by such an unexpected discovery, he shares the news with his oldest college friend, bon viveur, star engineer, and Yoruba royal Duyole Pitan-Payne, who is about to leave the country to assume a prestigious post at the Unit…

Multidisciplinary approach to explore interactions in odor mixture perception

2023

Odors and aromas perceived in food and in the environment result from the processing of complex chemical mixtures of volatile compounds that should be efficiently processed by the olfactory system. It is known for decades that this processing generates perceptual interactions, such as masking, synergy, or perceptual blending, which contribute to elaborating a synthetic brain representation of the chemical information. Nevertheless, the perceptual processes underlying these interactions are still poorly known. In this project, we set out a multidisciplinary approach to identify the characteristics of odorants and olfactory receptors (ORs) that could support perceptual interactions. We hypoth…

Elevers motivasjon i arbeid med virkelighetsnær matematikk

2023

Formålet med denne studien var å undersøke hvordan arbeid med virkelighetsnære matematikkoppgaver påvirket motivasjonen til elever i matematikkfaget. Vi ønsket at elevene skulle lage sine egne problemstillinger basert på virkelige situasjoner og løse dem i form av en oppgave. Hensikten var at oppgavene skulle oppleves mest mulig virkelighetsnære for dem. Med utgangspunkt i en pilotstudie vi gjennomførte i 2022 valgte vi å utføre et undervisningseksperiment i en 9. klasse, hvor elevene jobbet med slike oppgaver i grupper. Problemformuleringene elevene utførte kan ses i sammenheng med en modelleringsprosess, der elevene “matematiserte” et problem fra det virkelige liv. Forskningsspørsmålet vå…

Fault Detection and Diagnostics of Hydraulic Systems in Hydroelectric Power Plants

2023

Most hydroelectric power plants experience few faults during their lifetime. However, with the expected increase in volatile energy sources in the energy mix and the use of hydroelectric power plants as balancing mechanisms, the wear and tear on system components may rise. This is where fault detection and diagnosis can significantly improve maintenance regimes. A mechanism within the plant that signals when components are under distress can be both cost-efficient and increase the plant's reliability. The hydraulic system that regulates the flow of water through the turbine is one of those systems that can be affected if the operation of the plants deviates from established norms. This thes…

Estrategias de marketing digital en los museos españoles

2023

La llegada de Internet propició que muchos museos, temerosos ante su irrupción, se mostrasen insensibles al mundo digital y al uso de las redes sociales. Al principio, algunas instituciones incluso consideraron Internet como una plataforma poco fiable que podría dañar y amenazar la imagen del museo. Además, creían que la contribución de los usuarios digitales podría perjudicar sus objetivos de comunicación. Con el paso del tiempo, las circunstancias fueron cambiando y los museos se han visto obligados a adaptarse a esta nueva realidad digital para poder conectar con su público. La llegada de la pandemia no hizo sino acelerar este proceso evolutivo en el cual los museos se veían inmersos des…
