We aimed to highlight the roles of the pancreatic enzymes, with special reference to amylase, on glucose homeostasis in healthy pigs and in pigs with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). Healthy pigs fed a high-fat diet (HFD) were subjected to mixed meal tolerance tests (MMTTs) and pancreatic enzyme treatments, and then blood glucose and insulin concentrations were determined. Following the de

Researchers use area of interest (AOI) analyses to interpret eye-tracking data. This article addresses four key aspects of AOI use: 1) how to report AOIs to support replicable analyses, 2) how to interpret AOI-related statistics, 3) methods for generating both static and dynamic AOIs, and 4) recent developments and future directions in AOI use. The article underscores the importance of aligning AO

Non-representational and materialist theories have enabled geographers to understand subjectivity as something that is interwoven with intimate and dynamic spaces. While previous work has questioned the political efficacy of integrating subjectivity into the environment, this paper traces a ‘new’ problem to the philosophical naturalism of early non-representational work where the subject was const

Sahej Rahal’s 2022 exhibition ANCESTORS presented findings from an alleged archaeological site to narrate an alien temporality inside the confines of the history museum. We reflect on how the exhibition demonstrates that encounters with appropriately narrated objects constitute a sort of “temporal heist,” forcing its observers to reconsider their present through a new temporality. By articulating

Hard-to-heal wounds are a growing human and financial concern, constituting approximately 1–3% of the healthcare budget. Wound care is not a medical specialty and is often not prioritized within healthcare. A large portion of the cost and suffering caused by wounds has the potential to be mediated through improved knowledge and effectivised workflows. One potential way to achieve this is through t

Responding to ideas about ‘geologizing the social’ (Clark and Gunaratnam 2017. “Earthing the Anthropos? From ‘Socializing the Anthropocene’ to Geologizing the Social.” Journal of Social Theory 20 (1): 146–163. doi:10.1177/1368431016661337), this conceptual paper reflects on the requirements for reconsidering the idea of the human in the Anthropocene context. It does so by parsing the Anthropocene

Paper on Charles XII as he was portrayed by Gösta Ekman the older in the film Charles XII (1925).

This chapter is an attempt to engage Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus, which remains one of the most influential works in contemporary geographical theory through a fictional or apocryphal addition that was not, but perhaps could have been a part of an early draft of their seminal work. The chapter develops the different risks of becoming-animal, -imperceptible, etcetera in

Today the majority of 13.5 MHz RFID - system operate ”passive” i.e. without the need of an integrated battery. The basic operating principle of passive RFID system is energy and data transmission using inductive coupling. An antenna of the reader generates a magnetic field, which induces a voltage in the coil of the tag and supplies the tag with energy. The goal of this project is to develop a

Hexagonal ferrites doped with metal oxides have long been used in a variety of fields such as in sensors, actuators and other hardware. They are inherently stable and exhibit different properties, such as the magnetoelectric effect, which can be tuned through choice of structure and dopants. The production of magnetoelectric hexaferrites can be costly and complicated. In this thesis a method base

The structure-agency debate in the social sciences is pervasive in policymaking; in recent policy paradigms and in their consequent macro-level policies. The present study attempts to study how in the latest two policy paradigms, neoliberalism and social investment respectively, the structure-agency debate has undergone changes in Swedish Government Official Reports, which investigate the integrat
