Photosynthetic eukaryotic cells arose more than a billion years ago through the engulfment of a cyanobacterium that was then converted into a chloroplast, enabling plants to perform photosynthesis. Since this event, chloroplast DNA has been massively transferred to the nucleus, sometimes leading to the creation of novel genes, exons, and regulatory elements. In addition to these evolutionary no…
This article deals with the translations of a Bunin’s story The Gentleman from San Francisco into Japanese and English. Japanese translations of the phrase with the existential verb byt’ reflect a different understanding of death. A comparison of the original text with the translations also helps us understand the image of the gentleman’s being, bytie, which changes as the story develops.
The present article explores Le Clerc’s relationship with Cambridge Platonism, in particular with the thought of Ralph Cudworth (1617–1688), as presented in the Bibliothèques.
Children of homeowners are more likely to enter homeownership than are children whose parents rent. We investigate whether this association is dependent on parental divorce, focusing on parental assistance as a conduit of intergenerational transmission. Event history analyses of data for England and Wales from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) show that the intergenerational transm…
This volume is an interdisciplinary attempt to insert a broader, historically informed perspective into current political and academic debates on the issue of evidence and the reliability of scientific knowledge. The tensions between competing paradigms, different bodies of knowledge and the relative hierarchies between them are a crucial element of the historical and contemporary dynamics of s…
This chapter studies the ways in which family members draw on their mediational repertoires to interact with one another near and far in the light of theories of translocality (Conradson & McKay 2007, Kyto?la? 2016), family discourse practices (Tannen et al. 2007) and language and emotions (Pavlenko 2004, Dewaele 2010). Through the analysis of digital power and connection manoeuvres (cf. Kendal…
This collection is the first of its kind to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the caseloads and clinical practice of speech-language pathologists. The volume synthesises existing data on the wide-ranging effects of COVID-19 on the communication, swallowing, and language skills of individuals with COVID infection. Featuring perspectives of scholars and practitioners from around the …
Tantangan besar untuk tahun-tahun mendatang terkait emisi mesin diesel adalah mengembangkan filter partikel diesel (DPF) dengan sistem regenerasi katalitik. Pekerjaan ini difokuskan pada pemahaman global tentang oksidasi jelaga diesel pada filter logam sinter (SMF). Platina dipelajari sebagai katalis referensi. Tujuan pertama adalah untuk menentukan kuantitas platina, ukuran partikel platina, a…
Senyawa Organik Volatil (Volatile Organic Compounds - VOCs) merupakan salah satu polutan udara utama yang berkontribusi signifikan terhadap pembentukan ozon troposfer, kabut asap (smog), serta ancaman serius bagi kesehatan manusia dan lingkungan. Di antara berbagai teknologi pengendalian polusi, oksidasi katalitik destruktif telah muncul sebagai salah satu metode yang paling efisien dan menjanj…
This chapter draws on the longitudinal ethnographic and demographic field study of three communities representing major Indonesian ethnicities (Javanese, Sundanese, and Minangkabau), located in three of the five provinces that, since 1990, have reported more than 7 per cent of the population over the age of 60. Comparative ethnographic study supported by panel surveys enables us to establi…
