Home, as a special attachment to (and appropriation over) place, can also be cultivated in the public urban space, under certain conditions that we explore through case study Rinkeby, Stockholm. This article analyses various forms of homemaking among Somali-Swedes who live there. It shows how, vulnerable immigrants, neighbourhood feels like home insofar it facilitates continuity with their past...

The concept of ‘religion’ as modern, European-derived, and therefore problematic in premodern Asian contexts is well established, but leaves us with a problem: if the church/state sacred/secular dynamic modern misconception even England, Fitzgerald argued, then how should we go about examining central place specific institutions, behaviour, belief workings medieval Japanese society that have fo...

– Stage 2. Triacastela-Sarria (440 m above sea level). We walked toward Samos for 18.6 kilometers, avoiding the first 4 kilometers that run parallel to the road because they required reaching the top of a peak at kilometer 4.7 and had difficult sections for the support vehicles. We felt that the next section, Sarria-Portomarín, was inappropriate, with too many parts unsuitable for vehicular tra...

This article reviews some effects of disorder in percolation systems away from the critical density pc. For densities below pc, the statistics of large clusters defines the animals problem. Its relation to the directed animals problem and the Lee–Yang edge singularity problem is described. Rare compact clusters give rise to Griffiths singularities in the free energy of diluted ferromagnets, and...

Crohn's disease (CD) is a lifelong inflammatory bowel disease with a rapidly rising incidence in the pediatric population. A common complication of CD is the development of fibrotic strictures, which may be present at initial diagnosis or develop many years later. Clinical presentation depends on stricture location and degree of obstruction, and strictures frequently contain a mixture of inflam...
