In contemporary Sri Lanka, nationalistic Sinhala organizations like Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) have made a great impact on the debate over what role Buddhism should play in the country. BBS claims that Islam is a non-Sri Lankan element in the Buddhist majority society, campaigning on such issues on social media between 2012 and 2014. This led Sri Lankan Muslim organizations to use social media to counte
Cell staining techniques are essential for cell visualization and bioanalysis, providing valuable insights into cellular structure, function, and behavior. Despite their significance, the impact of staining processes, such as dye penetration, adsorption, or hydrogen bonding, on the physical properties of cells remains largely unexplored. Acoustic methods have proven effective in noninvasively prob
Background: The motivation for this study is the growing prevalence of cohabitation over remarriage in stepfamily formation. Despite this trend, there is limited research on how cohabitation versus remarriage affects children’s educational outcomes. This study examines these differences, focusing on ninth grade educational performance in Denmark.Objective: The study investigates: How do grades dif
Objectives: Many Japanese adults experience poor sleep quality. Prolonged sedentary behavior negatively affects health, including sleep-associated problems. We investigated the association between sedentary behavior and sleep quality among urban white-collar workers in Japan with metabolic syndrome or at risk of metabolic syndrome, a population thought to have particularly prolonged sedentary time
We measured πΣ invariant mass spectra below and above the K̄N mass threshold in the K-d → NπΣ reaction in order to study the K̄N interaction and the Λ(1405) resonance. This reaction can be described by the two-step process: (i) K-N1 → K̄N followed by (ii) K̄N2 → πΣ, where N1 and N2 are nucleons bound in the deuteron. We deduced the S -wave scattering amplitude of K̄N → K̄N as well as K̄N → πΣ in I
Dogs exhibit an exceptional range of morphological diversity as a result of their long-term association with humans. Attempts to identify when dog morphological variation began to expand have been constrained by the limited number of Pleistocene specimens, the fragmentary nature of remains, and difficulties in distinguishing early dogs from wolves on the basis of skeletal morphology. In this study
Reusing building products is a feasible strategy for the construction and real estate industry to mitigate its climate impact. Sustainable reuse must be executed with quality assurance and defined responsibilities to encourage clients and avoid suboptimal outcomes. Despite the growing need to quality-assure reused products, there is limited research, particularly from an industry perspective. Prev
The study discussed in this article aimed to understanding how pre-activity formulations are designed and accomplished by mothers in play interactions as everyday interactional business. Here, we report specifically on instances during the lab-based interactions where the mother orients to the lab-based task of singing with their infant, and discuss potential implications of such participant orien
The Carina Nebula is an active star-forming region with several open clusters rich in massive OB stars, thus making it an optimal target for studying stellar properties such as rotation for large samples of these early-type stars. We studied a sample of early-type stars probable members of the eight open clusters in the Carina Complex. The observational data consist of high-resolution spectra from
Dark matter (DM) is one of the major components in the Universe. However, at present its existence is still only inferred through indirect astronomical observations. DM particles can annihilate or decay, producing final-state Standard Model pairs that subsequently annihilate into high-energy γrays. The dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) in the Milky Way DM halo have long been considered optimal tar
De senaste decennierna har inneburit stora omvälvningar av den svenska offentligheten. Internets genomslag, de sociala medierna och smarta telefoner har i grunden förändrat hur vi tar till oss information om aktuella händelser och kunskap om det förflutna. Traditionell läsning har haft svårt att konkurrera med audiovisuella medier i den nya uppmärksamhetsekonomin. Vilka roller historiker ska ha oc
Modern imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes have extensively observed young nearby supernova remnants (SNRs), with ages of about 1000 years or less, in the very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray band. These efforts resulted in the detection of VHE emission from three young SNRs – Cassiopeia A, Tycho, and SN 1006 – and provided significant evidence for emission from the more distant Kepler’s SNR. How
Clusters of galaxies are the largest gravitationally-bound structures in the Universe. They are composed of galaxies and gas (approximately 15% of the total mass) mostly dark matter (DM, accounts up to 85% of the total mass). If the DM is composed of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), galaxy clusters represent one of the best targets to search for gamma-ray signals induced by the decay
Inclusive cross-sections for top-quark pair production in association with charm quarks are measured with proton–proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC between 2015 and 2018. The measurements are performed by requiring one or two charged leptons (electrons and muons), two b-tag
The 1914 eruption of Sakurajima (the Taisho eruption) caused catastrophic consequences by releasing enormous volcanic ash to Japan’s atmosphere, affecting both proximal and distal regions. As volcanic ash is a complex hazard that can cause damage to critical infrastructure and disrupt socio-economic activities, impacts from such an eruption in contemporary Japan will be more severe than in 1914.
