Democratization of Intelligence? Comparing Vietnam and Ukraine

This study explores how a contemporary systemic shift regarding secrecy and intelligence is affecting the strategic performance of states engaged in overt or covert intervention. These changes are conceptualized by researchers as “implausible deniability”, “delayed disclosure” and “the democratization of intelligence” and their significance are applied to limited-war theory with a theoretical focu

Lexikal betydelseutveckling i teori och praktik : En analys av fem definitionsformler i Svenska Akademiens ordbok och de semantiska förändringsmekanismer som de beskriver

I avhandlingen undersöks betydelsebeskrivningen i Ordbok över svenska språket utgiven av Svenska Akademien (SAOB) i ljuset av teoretisk semantik. De fem etablerade och i ordbokens definitionstext högfrekventa formlerna, eller semantiska etiketterna, "bildlig", "oegentlig", "utvidgad", "allmännare" och "överförd användning" studeras ur olika perspektiv.Frågan som ställs i avhandlingen är hur formle

Om tillit till polisen – En idéanalys av offentlig debatt under några tidsperioder med låg grad tillit till institutionen

This essay is about trust in the police organization at two time periods, the mid - and late 1990s and 2010s. In these periods the national polls pointed at a weaker experienced trust in the police compared to other time periods. Trust in the national institutions is of importance to the democratic system. National polls are however very seldom complemented by studies based on qualitative methods

Dynasties and State Formation in Early Modern Europe

In state formation research, princely houses have been a blind spot. The development of states has been discussed from many perspectives, like interstate competition, internal social conflicts, fiscal-military developments, etc., but at the centre of most European states, there was a princely house. These ruling houses have been overlooked in studies about state formation. What’s more, when discus

Hyper high haemoglobin content in red blood cells and erythropoietic transitions postnatally in infants of 22 to 26 weeks' gestation: a prospective cohort study

Objective Blood cell populations, including red blood cells (RBC) unique to the extremely preterm (EPT) infant, are potentially lost due to frequent clinical blood sampling during neonatal intensive care. Currently, neonatal RBC population heterogeneity is not described by measurement of total haemoglobin or haematocrit. We therefore aimed to describe a subpopulation of large RBCs with hyper high

Applied in situ product recovery in ABE fermentation

The production of biobutanol is hindered by the product's toxicity to the bacteria, which limits the productivity of the process. In situ product recovery of butanol can improve the productivity by removing the source of inhibition. This paper reviews in situ product recovery techniques applied to the acetone butanol ethanol fermentation in a stirred tank reactor. Methods of in situ recovery inclu

S:t Pauli kyrkogårdar - På marken, bland människorna och under trädens kronor

I have long been fascinated by the St. Pauli cemeteries in Malmö and how they relate to the city itself. A large residential area, Norra Sorgenfri, is currently being built around the cemeteries. As the city’s population density increases, more people use these cemeteries as their nearest green space. The work examines the possibilities for developing the use of St. Pauli cemeteries, as the city g

The dynamic floor of Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, USA : The last 14 k.y. of hydrothermal explosions, venting, doming, and faulting

Hydrothermal explosions are significant potential hazards in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. The northern Yellowstone Lake area hosts the three largest hydrothermal explosion craters known on Earth empowered by the highest heat flow values in Yellowstone and active seismicity and deformation. Geological and geochemical studies of eighteen sublacustrine cores provide the first detailed syn

Exact analysis of One-Warehouse-Multiple-Retailer inventory systems with quantity restricted deliveries

Joint consideration and coordination of inventory and shipment decisions is an important challenge in the quest for sustainable distribution systems. This paper addresses this issue by presenting a method for exact analysis of the inventory level distributions in a centralized One-Warehouse-Multiple-Retailer (OWMR) inventory system with quantity restricted deliveries from the warehouse. The system

Svensk arbetarhistoria efter larsarna

Hur mår svensk arbetarhistorisk forskning i dag? Magnus Olofsson, historiker vid Lunds universitet, trendspanar kring ett mer än halvsekelgammalt forskningsfälts tillstånd utifrån det Nionde svenska arbetarhistorikermötet, som han var med och arrangerade i Helsingborg i oktober 2022.

Evaluation of rainfall-runoff modelling data in Sebeya Catchment, Rwanda - Recommendations for improved flood hazard analysis

Rwanda has experienced an increase in the frequency of riverine floods since the mid 2000s, and the future impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle is uncertain. Flood hazard analysis is one tool used to reduce flood risks; the analysis is often based on models which requires hydrological and meteorological data. New hydrological measurement stations have been installed at select locatio

Smart City Governance – AI Ethics in a Spatial Context : Selected Essays from 2022/2023

This brief anthology presents the basics of the interdisciplinary course called Smart City Governance – AI Ethics in a Spatial Context, given at LTH, Lund University. Furthermore, it includes three selected essays from the main assignment written by students from the class of 2022/2023. These provide with examples of the topics possible to analyse when combining engineering students from programme

Lowering levels of reelin in entorhinal cortex layer II-neurons results in lowered levels of intracellular amyloid-β

Projection neurons in the anteriolateral part of entorhinal cortex layer II are the predominant cortical site for hyper-phosphorylation of tau and formation of neurofibrillary tangles in prodromal Alzheimer's disease. A majority of layer II projection neurons in anteriolateral entorhinal cortex are unique among cortical excitatory neurons by expressing the protein reelin. In prodromal Alzheimer's

Prediction of underlying atrial fibrillation in patients with a cryptogenic stroke : results from the NOR-FIB Study

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) detection and treatment are key elements to reduce recurrence risk in cryptogenic stroke (CS) with underlying arrhythmia. The purpose of the present study was to assess the predictors of AF in CS and the utility of existing AF-predicting scores in The Nordic Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke (NOR-FIB) Study.METHOD: The NOR-FIB study was an international prospectiv

Long-Term Exposure to Transportation Noise and Risk for Type 2 Diabetes in a Nationwide Cohort Study from Denmark

BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies have linked transportation noise to increased morbidity and mortality, particularly for cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies investigating metabolic outcomes such as diabetes are limited and have focused only on noise exposures estimated for the loudest residential façade.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine the influence of long-term residential exposure to trans

Long-term residential road traffic noise and mortality in a Danish cohort

Transportation noise is a growing public health concern worldwide and epidemiological evidence has linked road traffic noise with mortality. However, incongruent effect estimates have been reported between incidence and mortality studies. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate whether long-term exposure to residential road traffic noise at the most and least exposed façades was associat
