Popular Abstract in Swedish Ortnamn utgör en särskild del av kulturarvet; under århundraden har de muntligen traderats från generation till generation på den plats där de skapats, där de minner om tidigare händelser, aktiviteter och kunskaper. I synnerhet på de håll skriftlig dokumentation är relativt sentida ger ortnamn en möjlighet att nå insikter om den mer avlägsna historien. Detta gäller särsAs a special part of our cultural heritage, toponyms have been handed down orally from generation to generation for centuries or more at the place where they were coined, recalling events, activities and knowledge. Especially where written documentation is relatively young, place names offer a way to reach further back into the past. This is particularly true of many dialectal cultures, in which o

This essay is an analysis of the narrative instance in two novels: Montedidio of the contemporary Italian writer Erri De Luca, published in 2002, and La vie devant soi written by Romain Gary in 1975. The aim of this study is to compare these novels which appear quite similar at first glance: they are both narrated by an autodiegetic narrator, this being a child living in poor social condition. Mor

Abstract in ItalianThe study presented here is part of a wider context of historical ecology and rural archaeology research projects carried out by the Laboratorio di Archeologia e Storia Ambientale (LASA, Dafist-Distav) of Genoa University. In particular, our contribution is focused on the reconstruction of agricultural practices connected to the historical transformation of breeding systems in t

Recently, multi-agent systems have become a central study topic in many different disciplines including biology, engineering, physics, and social science. This has led to the emergence of large and constantly growing interdisciplinary research field, known as network science. The analysis of the mathematical models describing such systems has achieved significant results, but remains mostly an ope

This article analyses the seasonality of births in pre-industrial Bologna between 1729 and 1860, comparing the city and the surrounding countryside and integrating long-term demographic data with meteorological information. Using Henry’s indices and regression models for the period 1814-1860, the study examines the role of temperature and precipitation during the conception period. The results ind

Introduction: The ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is a prominent risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its implication in other dementias is less well studied. Methods: We used a data set on 2858 subjects (1098 AD, 260 vascular dementia [VaD], 145 mixed AD and VaD, 90 other dementia diagnoses, and 1265 controls) to examine the association of APOE polymorphisms with clinical d

Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a protein involved in transport of lipids and has been implicated to play an important role in regeneration after nerve injury. Determination of apoE in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) thus have a potential interest when studying different forms of brain damage and as a marker of ongoing regenerative processes in the brain. However, previous studies on CSF-ApoE in Alzheimer's

"What lies hidden behind online ads for erotic services, or on streets on the outskirts of cities, or in the downtown apartments used by escorts? What is someone who buys sex risking? What can be done to prevent human trafficking? What rights to sex workers have? Why is it that Germany considers prostitution to be a service, while Sweden punishes it as one of the most shameful forms of violence ag

The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1 is known as a negative regulator of cell-cycle progression and as a tumour suppressor. Cdk2 is the main target of p27 (refs 2, 3) and therefore we hypothesized that loss of Cdk2 activity should modify the p27-/- mouse phenotype. Here, we show that although p27-/- Cdk2-/- mice developed ovary tumours and tumours in the anterior lobe of the pituitary, we

The present article analyses the relation between politics and historiography in communist Romania (1948- 1989). Since the beginning of the four-decades-long communist dictatorship, history has been turned into an ancillary discipline of the political discourse. The analysis of this peculiar kind of historiography starts from the processes that have determined its political nature and brought to i

One relevant challenge in the field of sustainable mobility is to plan and operate transport services equitable from a geographical and a social point of view. New forms of mobility can exacerbate pre-existing inequalities in the access to public transport systems by excluding some urban areas such as low-income neighborhoods or outskirts, where residents could benefit most from more supply. The g
