En ny boktrend har trätt fram på sociala medier - bokgenren dark romance. Genrens typiska innehåll är bland annat kidnappning, förföljelse och tvivelaktigt samtycke. Dessa brottsliga handlingar begås av den manliga huvudpersonen mot den kvinnliga huvudkaraktären i romanen. Trots att den manliga protagonisten har en hjälteroll och ses som attraktiv går hans brottsliga handlingar snarare i linje med

Research and theories show that politics in today’s society is mediated and for most of the citizens the media image is the only perception of politicians that exists. Therefore, studying how politicians are portrayed is essential in the journalistic field, this due to the changes in political journalism and the growing entertainment focus in journalism. SVT’s Valet Forever is a hybrid genre progr

Throughout history, people have used products from different microorganisms and plants for many medicinal and nutritional applications. Chilli peppers have been used for spicing up food, but also for their pharmacological properties. They contain alkaloid molecules called capsaicinoids, which have been shown to activate and desensitise the heat receptor - Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid typ

Forskningsfråga: Hur kommunicerar Tele2 kring goodwill från förvärv till nedskrivning? Vad påverkar företags kommunikation av goodwill? Syfte: Att förstå goodwillkommunikationen över tid från förvärv till nedskrivning genom en fallstudie. Metod: Kvalitativ undersökning i form av dokumentstudier. Empirin utgörs i huvudsak av årsredovisningar, pressmeddelanden och transkriberingar från videokonferResearch question: How does Tele2 communicate about goodwill from acquisition to impairment? What affects corporate communication of goodwill? Purpose: To understand goodwill communication over time from acquisition to impairment through a case study. Methodology: Qualitative research in the form of document studies. The empirical data consists mainly of annual reports, press releases and transc

For most food crops the identity and efficiency of pollinators across key growing regions remains a significant knowledge gap that needs to be addressed before we can develop crop-specific approaches for pollination service delivery. Here, we conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis on watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb. Matsum. & Nakai)), a globally important fruit crop, t

Background: Brain metastases are associated with considerable negative effects on patients’ outcome in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). Here, we investigated the proteomic landscape of primary LADCs and their corresponding brain metastases. Materials and methods: Proteomic profiling was conducted on 20 surgically resected primary and brain metastatic LADC samples via label-free shotgun proteomics. Afte

We measured early 2016/17 season influenza vaccine effectiveness (IVE) against influenza A(H3N2) in Europe using multicentre case control studies at primary care and hospital levels. IVE at primary care level was 44.1%, 46.9% and 23.4% among 0–14, 15–64 and ≥ 65 year-olds, and 25.7% in the influenza vaccination target group. At hospital level, IVE was 2.5%, 7.9% and 2.4% among ≥ 65, 65–79 and ≥ 80

The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between the historical and literary stereotype of the mad and locked up woman, with the sick and isolated women in the novels: "Pájaros en la boca" (A mouthful of birds), "Papá Noel duerme en casa" (Santa Claus sleeps at our house), "La respiración cavernaria" (Breath from the Depths) and "Cuarenta centímetros

Bakgrund: Svårigheter att upprätta en fullgod ventilation hos barn kan bero på många olika orsaker. Det kan bland annat bero på diagnoser som cystisk fibros, primär ciliär dyskinesi och multipla funktionshinder. Barnen kan behöva andningsvårdande behandling under stora delar av dygnet och föräldrar kan få kunskap och stöd från fysioterapeuter, men ansvarar sedan själva för att utföra behandlingen

Due to a combination of changes in the societal view on fire safety along with reconstruction and renovations, the fire rescue services are no longer able to act as an alternative escape route from some buildings in urban parts of large cities. This thesis aims to survey how widespread the problem is, as well as identify and evaluate different solutions. Surveys and interviews were conducted to ev

Over recent years, there has been a rapid development of membrane-mimetic systems to encapsulate and stabilize planar segments of phospholipid bilayers in solution. One such system has been the use of amphipathic copolymers to solubilize lipid bilayers into nanodiscs. The attractiveness of this system, in part, stems from the capability of these polymers to solubilize membrane proteins directly fr

This chapter reviews the evolving understanding of structuring in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with a focus on choline chloride-based systems as the most popularly studied DES. Recent literature is critically evaluated to attempt to identify common aspects of the structure and interactions in different DESs to improve our fundamental understanding of these solvents.

A large proportion of grafted striatal neurons die, and mechanisms by which they succumb may involve excitotoxicity and oxidative stress. We investigated the effects of pretreatment of the graft tissue with the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist (+)dizocilpine hydrogen maleate (MK-801) and lipid peroxidation inhibitor lazaroid U-83836E on the survival of transplanted striatal neurons.

PURPOSE Heart failure (HF) is a potentially life-threatening complication of treatment for childhood cancer. We evaluated the risk and risk factors for HF in a large European study of long-term survivors. Little is known of the effects of low doses of treatment, which is needed to improve current treatment protocols and surveillance guidelines.METHODSThis study includes the PanCareSurFup and ProCa
