I dagens historieteoretiska diskussion framstår ’historieantropologi’ som ett udda eller anakronistiskt begrepp som sällan används. Samma förhållande gäller ’filosofisk antropologi.’ I nordamerikansk litteratur används ’antropologi’ synonymt med ’socialantropologi’, utan att skillnaden mot annan antropologi noteras.

På grund av förändringar i världen, politiska som icke-politiska, förändras politiska system.

Information-theoretic Bayesian optimization techniques have become popular for optimizing expensive-to-evaluate black-box functions due to their non-myopic qualities. Entropy Search and Predictive Entropy Search both consider the entropy over the optimum in the input space, while the recent Max-value Entropy Search considers the entropy over the optimal value in the output space. We propose Joint

In most western parliamentary democracies it is common for opportunistic elections, with increased power as the goal, to take place and it is therefore a popular area of research. Bridging over this subject is the research on coalition bargaining and how parties act when there is a big change in polls, which might trigger opportunistic elections.

Andelen anställda som omfattas av kollektivavtal ligger sedan flera år på omkring 90 procent. Ungefär lika hög är organisationsgraden bland arbetsgivarna om man mäter den som andelen anställda med en arbetsgivare som är med i en arbetsgivarorganisation. Den fackliga organisationsgraden har stabiliserats på närmare 70 procent, men med ökade skillnader mellan tjänstemän och arbetare. Fyra av tio arb

Cancer plasticity is now a recognized new hallmark of cancer which is due to disturbances of cell differentiation programs. It is manifested not only in various forms like the best-known epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) but also in vasculogenic and megakaryocytic mimicries regulated by EMT-specific or less-specific transcription factors such as HIF1a or STAT1/2. Studies in the past decades

The 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl (TMSEt) β-glycosides of globotetraose [β-d-GalNAc-(1 → 3)-α-d-Gal-(1 → 4)-β-d-Gal-(1 → 4)-d-Glc] and the terminal trisaccharide, as well as the methyl α-glycoside 1 of the terminal disaccharide, were synthesised by silver trifluoromethanesulfonate-promoted β-glycosylation of suitably protected galactoside, galabioside, and globotrioside alcohols with 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-
