This article analyzes learning in the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) by way of drawing on recent theoret- ical advancements on the concept of communities of practice (CoP) in international relations (IR). The article presents an analytical framework that distinguishes between reproductive and transformative learning in relation to levels of contestation in CoPs. To illustrate the f

The impact of anaerobic bacteria on the human host is sparsely investigated due to cultivation challenges. Nonetheless, in the last decade increasing research demonstrated the importance of paying attention to these overlooked pathogens. In this chapter, we provide an overview of analyzing surface and intracellular inflammation markers of neutrophils and monocytes in response to Gram-positive anae

OBJECTIVE: To explore the experience of using audience response systems (ARS) in postgraduate physiotherapy training.DESIGN: Qualitative interview study following the 'reflexive thematic analysis' by Braun and Clarke.SETTING: Higher education university.PARTICIPANTS: Ten Italian students (60% men, N=6; 40% women, N=4) agreed to partake in the interviews.RESULTS: We generated four themes. Specifica

The aim of this study is to investigate how newspaper articles from the Swedish newspaper Expressen have presented cannabis in the years 1992 and 2022. The objective was to compare the coverage between these years. After applying selection criteria and random selection, 70 articles were chosen for analysis. The method on which this work is based is qualitative text analysis. The content from the a

Background:The known genetic causes for Parkinson’s disease (PD) onlyexplain a small proportion of the familial aggregation of PD. Despiteintensive efforts by researchers internationally, identifying and confirmingadditional monogenic causes for PD has been difficult.Methods:We examined 16 members of a large family with multi-incidentPD and dementia. Eight members were examined by whole exome (WES

BackgroundCongenic leptin receptor deficient rat generated by introgression of the Koletsky leptin receptor mutation into BioBreeding Diabetes Resistant rat (BBDR.lepr−/−) is a novel animal model combining obesity, systemic insulin resistance and diabetes. Systemic insulin resistance is associated with reduced myocardial glucose utilization, but its effect on myocardial external efficiency, i.e. t

AIMS: There is considerable controversy regarding optimal management of patients with paraesophageal hiatus hernia (pHH). This survey aims at identifying recommended strategies for work-up, surgical therapy, and postoperative follow-up using Delphi methodology.METHODS: We conducted a 2-round, 33-question, web-based Delphi survey on perioperative management (preoperative work-up, surgical procedure

Detta examensarbete undersöker estetiska värden i arkitektur inom ramarna för cirkulär ekonomi och design. Vad som blir värdefullt när ett samhälle skiftar från vår tids globala kapitalism till ett system där evig tillväxt ersätts av ett resilient system som arbetar inom gränserna för planetens resurser. Rapporten undersöker olika källor kopplade till estetiska värden och cirkulär ekonomi och -desThis thesis examines aesthetic values in architecture within the framework of circular economy and design. The objective is to identify what becomes valuable when a society transitions from the current global capitalism to a system where perpetual growth is replaced by a resilient model that operates within the limits of the planet’s resources. The thesis analyzes various sources related to aesthe

Sustained motivation is crucial to learning a second language (L2), and one way to support this can be through the mental visualisation of ideal L2 selves (Dörnyei & Kubanyiova, 2014). This paper reports on an exploratory study which investigated the possibility of using technology to create representations of language learners' ideal L2 selves digitally. Nine Chinese learners of L2 English we

The use of timber as a construction material demands continuous improvements of our knowledge about the material and computational techniques for structural analysis and design.In this report the fracture properties of wood are studied and implemented into numerical crack propagation models. The numerical algorithms are utilized for computing the development of cracks in structural elements. Six t

The performance of timber in exposed environments is affected by several biotic and abiotic factors. For timber cladding and decking, two important aspects include reduced structural performance due to fungal decay and aesthetical changes resulting from superficial effects such as photodegradation and moulds. Predicting the long-term performance of timber is important because it enables rational m

Galectins are a group of carbohydrate-binding proteins with a presumed immunomodulatory role and an elusive function on antigen-presenting cells. Here we analyzed the expression of galectin-1 and found upregulation of galectin-1 in the extracellular matrix across multiple tumors. Performing an in-depth and dynamic proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of human macrophages stimulated with galecti

Sharing housing with non-family members has increasingly become a way to reduce costs while pursuing an autonomous yet communal living throughout the life course. During the past decade, a new form of shared housing has entered the Swedish real estate market: coliving. Like shared housing generally, some of the aims of coliving are to help address the housing shortage, decrease loneliness, increas

BACKGROUND: Patient perspectives have received increasing importance within health systems over the past four decades. Measures of patient experience and satisfaction are commonly used. However, these measures do not capture all the information that is available through engaging with patients. An improved understanding of the various types of patient perspectives and the distinctions between them

Background: Dormant coronary collaterals are highly prevalent and clinically beneficial in cases of coronary occlusion. However, the magnitude of myocardial perfusion provided by immediate coronary collateral recruitment during acute occlusion is unknown. We aimed to quantify collateral myocardial perfusion during balloon occlusion in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Patients
