I perform a narrow and wide replication of the labor force participation analyses in Bertand,Pan, and Kamenica (2015), which finds a negative relationship between realized and predicted female breadwinning and wives’ labor force participation. Their results replicate in a narrow sense, even when samples from the same data sources cannot be perfectly reproduced. In the broader replication, I test w
The main goal of this thesis has been to investigate the interaction of the intrinsically disordered peptide Histatin 5 (Hst5), with phospholipid bilayers, using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques, such as, small- angle X-ray scattering, circular dichroism, neutron reflectometry, quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, The main goal of this thesis has been to investigate the interaction of the intrinsically disordered peptide Histatin 5 (Hst5), with phospholipid bilayers, using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques, such as, small- angle X-ray scattering, circular dichroism, neutron reflectometry, quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations,
Finland seems to suffer from a kind of ‘policy amnesia’ when it comes to the topic of housing cooperatives. Tracing back from 1920 to 2020, this article analyses waves of experimentation and political debate with housing cooperativism across both housing production and consumption. Supplementing a document analysis with expert interviews, it investigates which cooperatively-organized modes of hous
Lignin is one of the most naturally occurring biopolymers on Earth and exists in a relatively large portion of the residual stream of the pulp and paper industry. Technical lignin is water-soluble, nontoxic, and rich in quinone-type groups; therefore, it could be a potential redox species for next-generation aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs). Despite having attractive features, lignin does not s
e consider waveform iterations for dynamic coupled problems with respect to therole of time window length. We review existing theoretical results about the error of waveformiterations and the role of the time window length. Furthermore, we present numerical resultsfor waveform iterations with both time adaptive sub solvers and with fixed time steps. Thisway, we are able to give a recommendation on
BACKGROUND: Child stunting is a significant challenge for most districts in Rwanda and much of sub-Saharan Africa and persists despite multisectoral efforts. There is a notable lack of population-based studies examining the correlation between violence against women and child stunting in Rwanda.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the association between Rwandan women's exposure to intimate partner
This chapter addresses perinatal mortality in early modern Lutheran Sweden by examining the interplay between religious and medical birth practices and fetal and infant concepts and imagery. Early modern European birth intervention strategies aimed at securing baptism: the spiritual survival of unborn individuals. Lutheran doctrine demanded a complete live birth before baptism, yet emergency solut
How can we talk about musico-dramatic methods and models for operatic acting, and how do these relate to other kinds of acting? Observing the tendency of operatic professionals and pedagogues to import concepts and ideals from theatrical and cinematic practices with non-operatic application of music, we reflect upon what possibilities and problems this discursive choice instils. Interestingly, whiHow can we talk about musico-dramatic methods and models for operatic acting, and how do these relate to other kinds of acting?

Avhandlingen undersöker begreppet tillhörighet utifrån 42 livsberättelser som samlats in genom intervjuer med pakistanska muslimer i tre svenska städer. Ur ett intersektionellt flergenarationsperspektiv på diaspora ställs frågor om ”vem som hör hemma” och ”hur man hör hemma”.I avhandlingen beskrivs hur diasporiska identiteter formas, förhandlas och omvandlas över generationer inom ramen för svenskIn an unprecedented Muslim migration context in Sweden, with changing demographics as well as pressures on the welfare state, how Muslim family background is negotiated in Sweden is strikingly understudied. For second-generation Pakistanis, inheriting a Muslim identity from their parents can barely be considered a windfall gain. As they forge both roots and routes to embed into the country in whic
The 244Pu(50Ti,xn)294−xLv reaction was investigated at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s 88-Inch Cyclotron. The experiment was aimed at the production of a superheavy element with Z ≥ 114 by irradiating an actinide target with a beam heavier than 48Ca. Produced Lv ions were separated from the unwanted beam and nuclear reaction products using the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator and implanted in
As part of its commitment to transparency, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has been developing improved approaches to assessing uncertainty and expressing the degree of certainty in its scientific outputs. The objectives of this workshop were to review and improve the provision of this information by EFSA and its usefulness for risk managers, and to help risk managers to interpret and us
Cellular-based localization and sensing pave the way for a variety ofapplications across various domains, ranging from autonomous driv-ing to emergency care and intelligent traffic management. Althoughtraditional methods have been effective, they still face challenges such as therequirement for highly accurate models and the inherent complexity of thealgorithms. This thesis explores the potential
The aim is to explain: (1) Why union density (the share of employees affiliated to trade unions) is so high in the Nordic countries: 50-70%, in Iceland about 90%, (2) Why the rate of unionization (union density) varies between the Nordic countries, and (3) Why union density in the last 25-35 years has declined considerably in Denmark, Finland and Sweden, but not at all or only modestly in Iceland
This scoping review assessed the surgical backlog in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) due to COVID-19 and identified mitigation strategies. We searched seven databases for citations from December 2019 to December 2022, focusing on LAC patients with cancelled or postponed procedures. We registered our protocol at Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/x2nd8) and adhered to PRISMA-ScR guideline
