Bouchra Khalili – Twenty-Two Hours23 April–16 June 2024A key figure in Bouchra Khalili’s film installation “Twenty-Two Hours” is Jean Genet, the French writer and political activist, who came to the United States between March and May 1970. He was there at the invitation of the Black Panther Party founded in 1966.In Khalili’s “Twenty-Two Hours”, Quiana and Vanessa, two young African-American women

The majority of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibit aggregates of Trans-active response DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in their hippocampus, which is associated with a more aggressive disease progression. The TDP-43 inclusions are commonly found in neurons, but also in astrocytes. The impact of the inclusions in astrocytes is less known. In the current study, we investigate the presenc

This chapter explores, through the lens of the history and development of the situation of statelessness across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) – a consequence of nation-state formation, state succession and/or discriminatory ethnic, religious and gender law and policy – the striking commonalities in both the causes and consequences of statelessness. It focuses on how the MENA region lacks

To better understand and tackle poverty amongst stateless people it is proposed here that statelessness be considered through the lens of structural violence.

Grief is a normal reaction after the death of a loved one. Death rituals are an integral part of the mourning processes. Not being able to carry out death rituals can affect relatives' quality of life. The aim was to evaluate death rituals during COVID-19 and their association with relatives' quality of life. In a Swedish nation-wide study relatives to persons who died during the COVID-19-pandemic

Blog for the European Network on Statelessness on the impact of the temporary asylum law on the resolution of statelessness of refugees.

The paper is part of a wider research project which seeks to explore the nexus between statelessness and refugee-ness at global, national and individual level. The relationship between the two legal concepts has not received much attention. This is surprising given that one in ten refugees globally are believed to be stateless. To begin to unpack this relationship, Denmark and Sweden are used as c

Many of the protracted situations of statelessness that we face today have arisen due to State succession. In addition, State succession continues to poses a risk with regard to the creation of further large scale cases of statelessness. Therefore, there is a need to better understand how to prevent and resolve statelessness in situations of State succession. This chapter argues that if we are to

Blog for the European Network on Statelessness on the issues of ensuring that all children have a nationality in highly localised settings.

In this thesis, I discuss the nature of responsibility and punishment. The main aim is to present a philosophical account of responsibility and punishment that is open to insights from other disciplines such as evolutionary biology, cognitive science, politics, cultural studies, and so forth.In the first section, which consists of three papers, I examine the relationship between responsibility, li

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of structures by providing continuous information about damage or anomalies. Vibration-based SHM, which focuses on the dynamic behavior of structures, offers insights into structural conditions through changes in dynamic properties. Among SHM approaches, damage localization is crucial for pinpointing the geometric l

We provide tools to analyze factorization at the amplitude level for processes involving the entire standard model. We focus in particular on a momentum region, in which the factorization of real and certain virtual corrections appears in a generalized eikonal approximation in which we expand around a quasisoft limit for massive gauge bosons, fermions, and scalars. We use the chirality-flow formal

This article belongs to the debate » Unboxing the New EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive

In a few recent papers we introduced the chirality-flow formalism, which builds on the spinor-helicity formalism, but incorporates the Fierz identity into the Feynman rules. Calculations at tree level are thereby trivial, often to the extent that it is possible to immediately write down a tree-level Feynman diagram in terms of spinor inner products. This simplification persists in tree-level compu

Violent Extremism: A Nordic Outlook illuminates the global issue of violent extremism, with a particular focus on Sweden and the Nordic countries. This concise volume leverages empirical research to uncover the mechanisms and dynamics driving violent extremism, setting itself apart in a field often criticized for a lack of data-driven analysis. The contributors employ unique Nordic data to offer i

Background: Postoperative management after surgery for perforated peptic ulcer is still burdened by old traditions. All available data for fast-track recovery in this setting are either very unspecific or underpowered. The aim of this study was to evaluate fast-track recovery in this diagnosis-specific context in a larger sample. Methods: Electronic data sources were searched. Eligible studies wer

The Colombian peace agreement, which has brought an end to a prolonged internal armed conflict has led to significant land use changes that underscore existing inequalities and struggles over natural resources. The expansion of industries such as cattle ranching, agriculture, and extraction is encroaching on indigenous territories and protected areas, resulting in negative consequences for communi

Motivated by empirical research on bias and opinion formation, we formulate a multidimensional nonlinear opinion-dynamical model where agents have individual biases, which are fixed, as well as opinions, which evolve. The dimensions represent competing options, of which each agent has a relative opinion, and are coupled through normalization of the opinion vector. This can capture, for example, an
