Workers in the informal transport sector are often exposed to multiple forms of workplace violence, for instance by the police and their colleagues. Through a collection of rich ethnographic stories and using the concept of popular resistance, this article investigates how and under what conditions rickshaw drivers in Bogotá resist violence in their workplace. The results reveal that rickshaw asso

Phosphorus (P) availability affects the response of terrestrial ecosystems to environmental and climate change (e.g., elevated CO2), yet the magnitude of this effect remains uncertain. This uncertainty arises mainly from a lack of quantitative understanding of the soil biological and geochemical P cycling processes, particularly the P exchange with soil mineral surfaces, which is often described b

For many years, universities represented the ultimate outpost for professional autonomy in Western democracies. Despite little insight into the professional practices of scholars or administrators, governments provided the academic profession with extensive discretion, including the freedom to regulate qualifications for positions, terms for promotion, quality standards, goals, performance indicat

Introduction: Cyanide exposure can occur in various settings such as industry and metallurgy. The primary mechanism of injury is cellular hypoxia from Complex IV (CIV) inhibition. This leads to decreased ATP production and increased reactive oxygen species production. The brain and the heart are the organs most affected due to their high metabolic demand. While the cardiac effects of cyanide are w

Purpose of review: The study aims to provide a summary of recent developments for diagnosing and managing posterior cortical atrophy (PCA). We present current efforts to improve PCA characterisation and recommendations regarding use of clinical, neuropsychological and biomarker methods in PCA diagnosis and management and highlight current knowledge gaps. Recent findings: Recent multi-centre consen

Prior research has established the key impact of customers' Big Five personality traits (e.g., agreeableness/conscientiousness) on their brand engagement, suggesting that individuals exhibiting differing personality traits engage differently with brands. In parallel, extending influential customer engagement research, stakeholder engagement, which covers any stakeholder's (e.g., a customer's, supp

The Scandinavian countries have neither been a focus area in terrorism nor intelligence studies, even though the Scandinavian intelligence agencies perceive the terrorist threats as rather present in their countries. This thesis aims to examine the similarities and differences within the assessment of the most significant terrorist threats in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway between 2001-2022 based on

When the Bosnian civil war ended in 1995 by signing the Dayton-peace agreement, the international community imposed so-called liberal peacebuilding, known as the top-down approach. Since this proceeding had brought unsuccessful results, the number of nongovernmental organizations began to increase in order to build a sustainable and more inclusive peace in post-Dayton BiH. This thesis examines th

IntroductionThe development of neutralising (inhibitors) and non-neutralising antibodies (NNAs) is a complication to factor replacement therapy in haemophilia. The diagnostic methods available lack standardisation, have high inter-laboratory variation, and false-negative as well as false-positive results may affect treatment. Both functional inhibitors and NNAs may be detected with higher reproduc

Car sharing is promoted as one alternative to decrease emissions from personal transport in cities. Most emission assessments have focused on the production and use phase of car sharing, but few have focused on the impacts of changes in consumption. In this article I assess changes in the total output from various sectors and in the carbon footprint of car sharing users from a consumption perspect

Over the last decade, the family of galectin proteins has been identified as key regulators of important biological processes. They bind β-D-galactopyranoside residues in glycoconjugates, and by presenting multiple binding sites, within one galectin or by forming dimers or multimers, they can cross-link glycoproteins and form galectin-glycoprotein lattices. Such lattices formed on the cell surface

I dagens historieteoretiska diskussion framstår ’historieantropologi’ som ett udda eller anakronistiskt begrepp som sällan används. Samma förhållande gäller ’filosofisk antropologi.’ I nordamerikansk litteratur används ’antropologi’ synonymt med ’socialantropologi’, utan att skillnaden mot annan antropologi noteras. Trots den intensiva diskussionen kring den antropocena tidsåldern som den nya eran

De senaste decennierna har användningen av extern kvalitetssäkring av högre utbildning ökat i Sverige och Europa. Policyn för kvalitetssäkring formas i ett komplext samspel mellan nationell och internationell politik, där Bolognasamarbetet varit centralt. l uppsatsen kartläggs metoderna för den statliga externa kvalitetssäkringen av högre utbildning i Sverige mellan 1995 och 2020. Genom en analys

The purpose of this paper is to study the arguments, reasoning and security analysis made by government actors that resulted in the different and contradictory development trajectories for the civil defense and population protection policies in Sweden and Finland during the last decades. During the period leading up to the full- scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Finland has adequately pre

Uppsatsen har som syfte att, med hjälp av en tematisk innehållsanalys, påvisa samband mellan den utbredda sociala teknologin och globaliseringen av extremismen i västvärlden. Utgångspunkten är att studera forskningsproblemet utifrån en kunskapsteoretisk ståndpunkt för att tolka den sociala verkligheten, därtill valdes en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Arbetet tar även upp det teknologiska fenomenets
