Transnational feminist activism in the contemporary Middle East : Practices of community, relationality, and history.

Feminist solidarity transcends borders. Yet, there is a tension arising from an entrenched view of feminism as inherently “Western,” originating in Europe and exported to the rest of the world. Building on fieldwork and interviews with Tunisian and Egyptian feminist activists, this paper challenges this perception by looking at how feminist activists relate to their diverging histories, and how fe

Factors associated with empowerment after participating in a supported osteoarthritis self-management program : An explorative study

Objective: To explore factors associated with change in empowerment in patients that have participated in a 3-month Supported Osteoarthritis Self-Management Program (SOASP). Further, to evaluate empowerment in the longer term. Design: An explorative analysis including patients from a cohort study conducted in primary healthcare in Sweden was performed. Univariable linear regression models were per

Glucocorticoid treatment in SLE is associated with infections, comorbidities and mortality—a national cohort study

Objectives: Patients with SLE have an increased risk of comorbidities and impaired survival. We aimed to assess whether various thresholds of oral CS (OCS) can predict development of infections, comorbidities, malignancies and survival in SLE using data from national health registries in Sweden. Methods: All incident SLE cases, age >18 years, in Sweden (n ¼ 5309) between 2005 and 2020 and matched

Innovation theater in corporate venturing units : Cultural design as a (de)legitimizing mechanism

This paper builds theory on theatrical cultural design in corporate venturing units, such as manifested in playful esthetics (foosball tables and beanbags), startup lingo, or youthful behavior (building with Lego bricks and informal dressing). We develop a set of propositions, illuminating how theatrical cultural design can (de)legitimize corporate venturing units, highlighting three different fun

Impact of osteoporosis and osteoporosis medications on fracture healing : a narrative review

Summary: Antiresorptive medications do not negatively affect fracture healing in humans. Teriparatide may decrease time to fracture healing. Romosozumab has not shown a beneficial effect on human fracture healing. Background: Fracture healing is a complex process. Uncertainty exists over the influence of osteoporosis and the medications used to treat it on fracture healing. Methods: Narrative revi

A Swedish population-based study to evaluate the usefulness of resting heart rate in the prediction of suicidal behavior among males

Introduction: Resting heart rate has been distinctly related to both internalizing (high pulse) and externalizing (low pulse) disorders. We aimed to explore the associations between resting heart rate and suicidal behavior (nonfatal suicide attempt [SA] and suicide death [SD]) and evaluate if such associations exist beyond the effects of internalizing/externalizing symptomatology. Method: We used

Investigation of Iron-N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes for Photocatalytic Applications

Humanity’s ever-growing energy demands require the implementation of more sustainable ways to harvest and store energy. At the same time, the reduction of greenhouse gas emission and thus global warming remains of paramount importance. To this end, solar energy harvesting presents an attractive route towards satisfying these requirements—be that by conversion to thermal energy, electricity or to c

Investigating reliable amyloid accumulation in Centiloids : Results from the AMYPAD Prognostic and Natural History Study

INTRODUCTION: To support clinical trial designs focused on early interventions, our study determined reliable early amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation based on Centiloids (CL) in pre-dementia populations. METHODS: A total of 1032 participants from the Amyloid Imaging to Prevent Alzheimer's Disease–Prognostic and Natural History Study (AMYPAD-PNHS) and Insight46 who underwent [18F]flutemetamol, [18F]florb

Thin loess in Southwestern Sweden

A thin (20–80 cm), patchy layer of silt-rich sediment occurs at the surface throughout Svartedalen, a nature reserve 30 km north of Gothenburg, Sweden. This surface silt mantles a bedrock-dominated, fracture-valley landscape. Using data from grain-size analysis, OSL dating and detrital-zircon U-Pb dating, we argue that the silt is loess sourced from glacial sediment that was eroded from local bedr

Shame, Blame, and Passion: : Affects of (Un) sustainable Wardrobes

In order to change consumption patterns into something that is more sustainable, it is essential that we consider the various and conflicting meanings clothes have in people's lives. This article presents an analysis of diaries written by consumers of different ages and occupations over a period of three months in 2015. These consumers documented their clothing and shoe purchases, took inventory o

Similar immune responses to alpha1-oleate and Bacillus Calmette–Guérin treatment in patients with bladder cancer

Background: The molecular content of urine is defined by filtration in the kidneys and by local release from tissues lining the urinary tract. Pathological processes and different therapies change the molecular composition of urine and a variety of markers have been analyzed in patients with bladder cancer. The response to BCG immunotherapy and chemotherapy has been extensively studied and elevate

It's not all 'bout the money : (Un) doing the gendered economy

During the past decade, gender equality has increasingly been motivated by economic gain, and has been described as a key to economic growth and “good for business”. This article draws on an ethnographic study of professional gender equality consultants in order to explore the effects of market feminism. The participants use entrepreneurship as a form of activism and try to make a difference re

Agreements ‘in the wild’ : Standards and alignment in machine learning benchmark dataset construction

This article presents an ethnographic case study of a corporate-academic group constructing a benchmark dataset of daily activities for a variety of machine learning and computer vision tasks. Using a socio-technical perspective, the article conceptualizes the dataset as a knowledge object that is stabilized by both practical standards (for daily activities, datafication, annotation and benchmarks

Transformational Leadership

Transformational leadership is a theory that has made a significant mark on the leadership research during the last four decades. The basic idea behind the theory is that leaders can transform their followers in ways that leads to improved organizational performance. By focusing on idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration leaders can

Empowering Sustainable Manufacturing: Unleashing Digital Innovation in Spool Fabrication Industries

In industrial landscapes, spool fabrication industries play a crucial role in the successful completion of numerous industrial projects by providing prefabricated modules. However, the implementation of digitalized sustainable practices in spool fabrication industries is progressing slowly and is still in its embryonic stage due to several challenges. To implement digitalized sustainable manufactu

Kastalen Hagbards källare RAÄ67 samt intilliggande husgrund, RAÄ668. : Arkeologisk forskningsundersökning 2023

I maj 2023 genomfördes en arkeologisk forskningsundersökning vid kastalen ”Hagbards källare”, RAÄ 67 i Ronneby socken, Blekinge. Fältarbetena var del av ett projekt som bedrivs vid Lunds universitet kring kastaler i Sverige. Undersökningen innebar en sökschaktsgrävning i området mellan RAÄ67 och RAÄ 668, samt handgrävning av ett antal mindre schakt i anslutning till kastalen. Undersökningarna var

Relating the single particle soot photometer (SP2) signal response to soot maturity

Light absorbing carbonaceous aerosols produced from combustion span over a range of physicochemical properties. Soot is the most recognized species in this category and its formation process involves gradual maturation from amorphous young soot with a high hydrogen-to-carbon-ratio toward mature soot aggregates. In this work, the optical response of a single particle soot photometer (SP2) to electr
