Att Sverige en gång i tiden hade ett statligt institut för rasbiologi är väl känt, liksom att det bedrevs omfattande rasforskning i Sverige under 1900-talets första decennier. Men vad hände egentligen med den svenska rasforskningen efter 1930-talet försvann den bara?I Vetenskapen som försvann? genomför historikern Martin Ericsson den första systematiska undersökningen av svensk rasforskning från 1
The present paper proposes an ECG simulator that advances modeling of arrhythmias and noise by introducing time-varying signal characteristics. The simulator is built around a discrete-time Markov chain model for simulating atrial and ventricular arrhythmias of particular relevance when analyzing atrial fibrillation (AF). Each state is associated with statistical information on episode duration an
This study focuses on the democratic development of Ukraine. Unlike most works devoted to this topic, the Ukrainian case is considered in the context of European (and global) political processes related to the crisis of democracy. This study also emphasizes the dynamics of Ukrainian democratic development. The comparative analysis of longitudinal studies of the level of democracy in Ukraine has de
The transition to a fossil-free society in Sweden is expected to cause an increased demand for forest-derived products which may intensify existing conflicts between forest ecosystem services. This study investigated the preferences among non-industrial private forest owners for maintaining multiple forest ecosystem services and their preferences for future forest development. The findings were re
Brain size variability in primates has been attributed to various domain-specific socio-ecological factors. A recently published large-scale study of short-term memory abilities in 41 primate species [1] did not find any correlations with 11 different proxies of external cognitive demands. Here we found that the interspecific variation in test performance shows correlated evolution with total brai
“Midnight Reflections about our own Northern Ventriloquist's Skills” is articulated in the form of a podcast in a conversational style scripted by longtime collaborators composer and performer. It starts by cartographing the authors’ previous collaborative works until they approach their last project ensemble, Campo Amniótico [CA] (2021), work in which the feedback or Larsen plays a paramount role
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex hematological malignancy marked by proliferation of immature myeloid cells with a dismal 5-year survival. A major challenge is the persistence of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) after standard treatment, leading to relapse. This thesis employs in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 screening to investigate critical AML and LSC molecular mechanisms, interrogating the dependancies
A palliative cancer diagnosis in a parent has a major impact on many aspects of their children’s lives. Studies show that professionals do not seem to offer relatives, in general, much attention in the palliative fieldAim: To explore how doctors and social workers handle children of cancer patients in order to understand the possibilities and difficulties in supporting children in specialized pall
Background: Measurements of local tissue water and circumferences are methods to evaluate lymphedema. Knowledge about reference values and reproducibility needs, however, to be determined for the head and neck (HN) area of healthy persons before it can be used in persons with HN lymphedema. The objective of this study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability including measurement errors of loca
Interdisciplinary in perspective, this book explores contemporary struggles around ‘identity politics’ in Europe, offering a unique glimpse into contemporary tensions and paradoxes surrounding identities, belonging, exclusions and their deep-seated gendered, colonial and racist legacies. With a particular focus on the Nordic region, it provides insights into the ways in which people who find thems
Forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services, and ecosystem models can be applied to assess the contribution of different forest management strategies to climate mitigation and adaptation. Complex model output and trade-offs between environmental, economic, and social sustainability dimensions are difficult to convey. To facilitate stakeholder communication, we developed composite indicators
Fibre-optic based sensing technologies are becoming popular in the field of geophysics since enable long range and high spatial resolution acoustic measurements. In this work, we present preliminary results obtained using quasi-distributed Fibre-Bragg grating sensing and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) to monitor seismic activities in an operational underground mine. 12 FBGs and 800 metres of f
Background A parent’s death is a dramatic event, and it can affect children in many ways, both acutely and long-term. Aim To explore how children who had lost a parent were included, acted, and interacted in a support program focusing on relational and contextual aspect.An ethnographic field study consisting of 82 hours of observations, 25 semi-structured interviews, and one focus group interview.
