Reduced Intensity transplantation vs chemotherapy in CR1. A prospective, pseudorandomized study in 50–70 year old AML patients

The aim of this prospective, international multicenter, pseudorandomized study comparing RICT HCT to standard-of-care chemotherapy in intermediate- or high-risk AML patients 50–70 years using the donor versus no-donor concept. Part 1 included only patients with potential family donors (RD) at the date of HLA-typing of the first potential sibling or CR-date, if later. Part 2 allowed the inclusion o

Finotypic plasticity : Predator-induced plasticity in fin size, darkness and display behaviour in a teleost fish

Fish fins are remarkable devices of propulsion. Fin morphology is intimately linked to locomotor performance, and hence to behaviours that influence fitness, such as foraging and predator avoidance. This foreshadows a connection between fin morphology and variation in predation risk. Yet, whether prey can adjust fin morphology according to changes in perceived risk within their lifetime (a.k.a. pr

Compact snapshot hyperspectral camera for ophthalmology

Hyperspectral imaging is an emerging technique that allows measurement of spectral absorption at each point of a scene, thus offering the capability to identify and characterize important biomarkers for clinical practice and therapeutic research, as well as enhancing image identification of important structures. So far, few hyperspectral cameras have been used for retinal scanning because of the n

Creative Work, Ecopreneurship and Sustainable Lifestyles

We take our empirical and theoretical starting point in the practices of ecopreneurship in the making of marine markets. Seaweed has gained renewed relevance in the wake of a growing interest in alternative production and consumption. This coincides with a widespread interest in the environment and the production of sustainable lifestyles. In this context, there are a number of women entrepreneurs

The Making and Unmaking of the Ukrainian Working Class : Everyday Politics and Moral Economy in a Post-Soviet City

Industrial workers in Ukraine have a complex political lifeworld because their political action aimed at bringing radical social change coexists with a demobilizing stance that condemns all political participation as corrupt. This contradictory attitude to politics defines the character of populist mass mobilizations that shook Ukraine in 2004 and 2014, as well as the electoral overhaul of 2019 an

Is civilizational primordialism any better than nationalist primordialism?

The ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war seems to have prompted a return to anthropology's origins: the armchair. Claiming authority based on status and knowledge accumulated elsewhere and extrapolated to Ukraine, public scholars have proffered takes, op-eds, and geopolitical phantasies. Slow research in the full ethnographic mode, studying actors and subjectivities in fast shifting contexts, would have be

Abstract in FrenchCet article interroge la nature spontanée de la politisation des ouvrier·ère·s habitant une région russophone ukrainienne. Leur mobilisation face à l’invasion russe récente est d’autant plus paradoxale que la ville en question a toujours été considérée comme « pro-russe », et que la population locale n’a pas ressenti d’intérêt pour la politique.

Abstract in French:L’article interroge les configurations de pouvoir industrielles (factory regimes) à Kryvyi Rih, une ville minière et sidérurgique située à l’est de l’Ukraine. En s’appuyant sur un travail de terrain ethnographique, il retrace la reproduction de l’hégémonie industrielle au travers des transformations postsoviétiques (la privatisation et les mesures d’austérité). La comparaison deThis article investigates factory regimes in Kryvyi Rih, a mining and metalworking city in eastern Ukraine. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, it studies the reproduction of industrial hegemony in the context of major post-Soviet transformations (privatization and austerity measures). The comparison of three cases representing different hegemonic configurations (mines privatized by Ukrainian busines

Changing patronage and informality configurations in Ukraine : From the shopfloor upwards

This article examines hegemonic norms of political and moral economy in Ukraine today acting at the level of the workplace. My research is based on fieldwork I conducted in a large industrial city in the east of Ukraine from January to June 2019. Using the general Gramsci-inspired theoretical framework and the insights of Hillel Ticktin, Simon Clarke and Michael Burawoy regarding Soviet and post-S

Underground Waterlines : Explaining Political Quiescence of Ukrainian Labor Unions

In order to explore factors conditioning the political quietude of Ukrainian labor, this article analyzes ethnographic data collected at two large enterprises: the Kyiv Metro and the privatized electricity supplier Kyivenergo. Focusing on a recent labor conflict, I unpack various contexts condensed in it. I analyze the hegemonic configuration developed in the early 1990s, at the workplace and at t

Extremal Polynomials and Sets of Minimal Capacity

This article examines the asymptotic behavior of the Widom factors, denoted Wn, for Chebyshev polynomials of finite unions of Jordan arcs. We prove that, in contrast to Widom’s proposal in Widom (Adv Math 3:127–232, 1969), when dealing with a single smooth Jordan arc, Wn converges to 2 exclusively when the arc is a straight line segment. Our main focus is on analysing polynomial preimages of the i

Modeling Ecosystem Regulation Services and Performing Cost–Benefit Analysis for Climate Change Mitigation through Nature-Based Solutions Using InVEST Models

Climate change and land degradation menace ecosystem sustainability. This study assessed the effectiveness of integrating nature-based solutions (NBSs); soil and water conservation techniques, agroforestry, and reforestation, to mitigate these impacts. Focusing on carbon storage and sediment retention at the watershed level (Sidi Barrak), the InVEST model quantified changes from 1990 to 2050 under

What is in the learner’s mind when trying to verbalize grammatical rules? : English third-person singular -s in two settings, Sweden and Vietnam.

The present study examines the outcome of teaching second language English (L2 English) third-person singular present tense -s for declarative knowledge in two different settings, namely Sweden and Vietnam. Third person -s is one of the most studied grammatical structures in second language acquisition research. Data are collected in two classroom contexts with different teaching traditions. Parti

Språktypologi och språkinlärning

Språklig mångfald är inget nytt, och inte heller något ovanligt, varken i Sverige eller i övriga världen. Cirka 200 olika språk talas i dagens Sverige och nästan alla världens språkfamiljer är representerade. Hur ser de ut? Hur används de? Hur lär man sig dem?De germanska språken är nära besläktade och har många gemensamma drag som vi kan känna igen. Andra språk kan se helt annorlunda ut. Genom at
