Abstract The aim of this three-year research project is to investigate displacements, i.e. changes in the right to housing and food according to the Swedish Social Service Act between 1982-2018, and its implications for the broader issue of social rights in the welfare state. This is done through the notion of advanced legal practices, which refer to incidents where the dominant current law is con

Anna Lindberg, Anna Lundberg och Mehek Muftee har läst och analyserat barnfamiljers asylakter. I denna artikel visar de med hjälp av olika exempel hur tid ges en central roll i Migrationsverkets utredningsarbete, som närmast låter sig beskrivas som en frenetisk jakt på kronologiska berättelser. Glapp i tidskronologin och tveksamma svar på frågor som rör tid resulterar i att den asylsökande misstän

Aquaglyceroporin 7 (AQP7) facilitates glycerol flux across the plasma membrane with a critical physiological role linked to metabolism, obesity, and associated diseases. Here, we present the single-particle cryo-EM structure of AQP7 determined at 2.55 Å resolution adopting two adhering tetramers, stabilized by extracellularly exposed loops, in a configuration like that of the well-characterized in

Background: Acute ischemic lesions are challenging to detect by conventional computed tomography (CT). Virtual monoenergetic images may improve detection rates by increased tissue contrast. Purpose: To compare the ability to detect ischemic lesions of virtual monoenergetic with conventional images in patients with acute stroke. Material and Methods: We included consecutive patients at our center t

We celebrate Govindjee, Professor Emeritus of Plant Biology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, on the occasion of his 90th birthday. He is renowned for his pioneering work in the discovery of the two-light reactions and two photosystems, PSI and PSII, leading to the Z-scheme of the electron transport chain; and for breakthrough advances in oxygenic photosynt

Governments exercise power over the public in many ways. One clear example is during societal crises when government agencies engage in purposeful strategic communication, issue restrictions and recommendations, and rely on people’s compliance to reach response objectives and meet needs in society. Here, issues of authority and legitimacy are crucial. In this study, we are interested in how this p

Vegetation optical depth (VOD) from satellite passive microwave sensors has enabled monitoring of aboveground biomass carbon dynamics by building a relationship with static carbon maps over space and then applying this relationship to VOD time series. However, uncertainty in this relationship arises from changes in water stress, as VOD is mainly determined by vegetation water content, which varies

Flicker can be annoying, but above all it can have a negative effect on human health; causing irritation, headaches, eye strain and migraines. With the introduction of LED lamps, flicker has once again become a problem. In addition to the unnecessary suffering caused to individuals, the negative consequences create an obstacle to the wide and rapid adoption of new LED technology and thus also an oFlicker can be annoying, but above all it can have a negative effect on human health; causing irritation, headaches, eye strain and migraines.

We present a rare case in which a patient has gained her smell after lifelong anosmia. The patient was objectively tested and diagnosed with functional anosmia at age 13 and reported they were experiencing a new sensation of smell at age 22. Our results show an electrophysiological signal for two unimodal odorants. The patient had a retronasal score in the hyposmic range and self-reported the abil

The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of olfactory testing and presynaptic dopamine imaging in diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS); to evaluate if the combination of these two diagnostic tools can improve their diagnostic value. A prospective investigation of 24 PD patients, 16 APS patients and 15 patients with non-parkinsonian syndromes was per

The interaction between student language use and sensemaking is an area in science learning that needs further elucidation in order to meet government standards in science education. In this study, concept mapping was used to elucidate the relationship between scientific language use and sensemaking defined as the interaction between the scientific concept system and everyday concepts in order to
