For the first time ever, over fifty Polish documentaries about Svalbard, filmed during the ninety years of Polish presence on the archipelago, have been looked at and categorized. Four distinct periods of such documentary-making have been identified and characterized: the heroic (in the 1930s), the exotic (in the 1950s-60s), the routine (in the 1970-90s) and the ethical (from the 1990s until present). ...

Noko som slår ein som les Therese Tungen sine noveller, er alle analepsane, altså tilbakeblikk eller retrospeksjonar i tekstane.i I dei to samlingane Ein gong var dei ulvar (2017) og Kjærleik og det som liknar (2019) vender narrasjonen, det vil seie tekstforteljaren, stadig attende til fortidige hendingar, samtaler, møte og livsfasar i karakterane si fortid for å rekonsteksualisere refleksjonar, val ...

Many real-world applications based on online learning produce streaming data that is haphazard in nature, i.e., contains missing features, features becoming obsolete in time, the appearance of new features at later points in time and a lack of clarity on the total number of input features. These challenges make it hard to build a learnable system for such applications, and almost no work exists in ...

Background - Several studies have examined parameters of increased thrombogenicity in COVID-19, but studies examining their association with long-term outcome and potential effects of antiviral agents in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 are scarce.<p> <p>Objectives - To evaluate plasma levels of hemostatic proteins during hospitalization in relation to disease severity, treatment modalities, ...

High and increasing prevalence rates of mental health problems among young people mean that youth mental health is a key priority for policymakers worldwide.

It’s good practice for employers to consult staff when forming policies or guidelines. However, for some staff from diverse backgrounds, this creates extra work and pressure.

Evidence from various empirical study types have converged to show bilingualism's potential for serving as a cognitive and brain reserves contributor. In this article, I contextualize, frame the need for and offer some expanding questions in this endeavor, inclusive of empirical pathways to address them. While the set of variables and questions discussed herein are definitively incomplete, they ...

Radar Beam-park experiments have been very successful in characterizing the distribution of space debris objects, both in terms of orbital parameters but also in terms of limiting the estimates of their radar cross section, or RCS. A recent paper \[0\] used observed range and range rates to refine orbit estimates by matching up the observed SNR curve to that predicted by simulations. This gives good ...

It is becoming increasingly clear that the Atg8 family of autophagy proteins have roles not only in the cytoplasm, but also in the cell nucleus. In this issue, Jimenez-Moreno et al. (2023. J. Cell Biol. <a href=https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201910133>https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201910133</a>) report that nuclear LC3B binds to the LIM homeodomain transcription factor LMX1B and acts as a cofactor for ...
