This article analyses the three recent Nordic Noir television series Bordertown (Sorjonen) from Finland, Trapped (Ófæro), from Iceland, and the Danish- Swedish The Bridge (Broen/Bron). All series are located on national borderlands, and this article aims to discern the significance of using such borderland settings. Departing from Doreen Massey's emphasis on places as being inherently interlinked

Utomhusbelysning i offentliga miljöer har en viktig roll i en hållbar stadsutveckling. Energieffektiv LED-belysning kan stödja mobilitet i stadsmiljöer och medverka till en ökad tillgänglighet för personer med särskilda behov. Belysningen i föreliggande studie upplevdes ge tillräcklig ljusmängd och jämnt ljus, och det gick att se bra i belysningen. Trots att LED-belysningen ökade möjligheterna til

Type 1 diabetes is a complex disease where numerous genes are involved in the pathogenesis. Genes that account for approximately 50% of the familial clustering of the disease are located within or in the vicinity of the HLA complex on chromosome 6. Some DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 genes are known to be involved, in addition to as yet unidentified HLA-linked genes. The DR4-DQ8 and DR3-DQ2 haplotypes are kn

BACKGROUND: Glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 (GAD65), the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is the major autoantigen in both type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes and stiff-man syndrome (SMS). The observation that GAD65 autoantibodies may be present for years before the clinical onset of diabetes raises the question of when GAD65 is available to initiate an immune

Islet autoantibodies are early markers for Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to establish whether islet autoantibodies were present at birth in children who developed Type I diabetes before 15 years of age. Cord blood sera from 81 children who developed Type I diabetes between 10 months and 14.9 years of age were tested for glutamic acid decarboxylase autoanti

This paper presents a qualitative questionnaire study of brand-specific visual product design in the automotive sector. The purpose of the study was to explore the visual product experience of automobile design as perceived by the general public and to analyse those experiences using an emerging framework for visual product experience; VPE. In the study; respondents were asked to assess the design

Writing well is central to academic success, but writing skills are not always taughtexplicitly. This is especially problematic in international, interdisciplinaryprograms where such skills help students from diverse backgrounds to develop ashared vocabulary of writing and tools to decode their new academic context.We tackled this issue by hiring and training peer writing tutors to encourage newst

Avian haemosporidian parasites are particularly diverse and widespread. To date, more than 3,000 distinct cytochrome b lineages have been recorded, of which some present extremely wide geographical distributions, even including multiple continents. Whether these isolates represent one or several cryptic species remains unknown. Here we carried out a case study of SISKIN1, a common haemosporidian p
