The gut microbiome as a target for prevention and treatment of hyperglycaemia in type 2 diabetes: from current human evidence to future possibilities

The totality of microbial genomes in the gut exceeds the size of the human genome, having around 500-fold more genes that importantly complement our coding potential. Microbial genes are essential for key metabolic processes, such as the breakdown of indigestible dietary fibres to short-chain fatty acids, biosynthesis of amino acids and vitamins, and production of neurotransmitters and hormones. D

Eugenics and Pragmatism : F.C.S. Schiller's Philosophical Politics

The British philosopher F. C. S. Schiller (1864–1937) was a leading pragmatist in the early twentieth century. His critiques of formal logic and his attempts to construct a humanist logic, derived from an anti-foundationalist humanism, are recognized as lasting philosophical achievements. But scholars have failed to consider that Schiller was passionately committed to the British eugenics movement

Multiple discrimination at work: Gaining entry to the Swedish workforce

This article discusses the role played by the law in personal experiences of marginalization from Swedish society from the perspective of sociology of law through the framework of intersectional. Like many legal issues, discrimination dwells in the world of everyday life, work life, and society. While most of the social sciences deploy a varied array of methods and methodological approaches, acros

The Gaia-ESO Survey : The present-day radial metallicity distribution of the Galactic disc probed by pre-main-sequence clusters

Context. The radial metallicity distribution in the Galactic thin disc represents a crucial constraint for modelling disc formation and evolution. Open star clusters allow us to derive both the radial metallicity distribution and its evolution over time. Aims. In this paper we perform the first investigation of the present-day radial metallicity distribution based on [Fe/H] determinations in late

Multi-Grid detector for neutron spectroscopy : Results obtained on time-of-flight spectrometer CNCS

The Multi-Grid detector technology has evolved from the proof-of-principle and characterisation stages. Here we report on the performance of the Multi-Grid detector, the MG.CNCS prototype, which has been installed and tested at the Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer, CNCS at SNS. This has allowed a side-by-side comparison to the performance of 3He detectors on an operational instrument. The demonst
