Old Norse into English into American English into Korean : some remarkable connections between modern Danish and Korean

A first glance Korean and Danish seem to be seemingly far apart each other in every linguistic aspect, from the grammar over pronunciation to the written language, not to mention the elaborated polite-conjugations we find in Korean compared to the Danes’ habit of saying ‘you’ (‘du’) to just about everyone. However, both languages have, from the latter half of the 20th century to nowadays, receivedA first glance Korean and Danish seem to be seemingly far apart each other in every linguistic aspect, from the grammar over pronunciation to the written language, not to mention the elaborated polite-conjugations we find in Korean compared to the Danes’ habit of saying ‘you’ (‘du’) to just about everyone.

Queer refugees in Sweden: responding to vulnerabilities

Academic research on a global level and somewhat in Sweden has addressed the risks queer refugees face, uncovering vulnerabilities, their responses, and views on the agency. Though they left open questions about how much queer refugees can or can not respond to their vulnerabilities, how is this correlated to their agency, and what is the intersectionality of their experiences. This research aims

Cash is king - eller klandervärt risktagande? - En rättssäkerhetsanalys av bestämmelsen om ringa näringspenningtvätt och tillämpningen i underrätterna

I 7 § 3 st. 2 m. i lagen (2014:307) om straff för penningtvättsbrott (penningtvättsbrottlagen) regleras brottet ringa näringspenningtvätt. Den kriminaliserade gärningen består i att någon medverkar till en åtgärd som skäligen kan antas vara vidtagen i penningtvättssyfte. Det är således, till skillnad från vad som gäller för penningtvättsbrott enligt 3–4 §§ penningtvättsbrottlagen, irrelevant huruvThe crime of minor commercial money laundering is provided under the sec-ond sentence of the third paragraph in section 7 of the Act (2014:307) on penalties for money laundering offences. The criminalised act is defined as a measure that can reasonably be assumed to be taken for money laundering purposes. It is therefore, in contrast to what applies to money laundering offences according to 3–4 §§

The genetic regulation of protein expression in cerebrospinal fluid

Studies of the genetic regulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins may reveal pathways for treatment of neurological diseases. 398 proteins in CSF were measured in 1,591 participants from the BioFINDER study. Protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) were identified as associations between genetic variants and proteins, with 176 pQTLs for 145 CSF proteins (P < 1.25 × 10−10, 117 cis-pQTLs and 59

Ecology and Epiphany in Short Fiction by Zadie Smith and Joyce Carol Oates

This essay investigates ecological epiphany in short stories by Zadie Smith and Joyce Carol Oates, moments in which characters confront the link between their own consumption habits and planetary damage. These moments build on a longer literary history of epiphany in modern fiction, a history that foregrounds suddenness, physicality, and the mundane, but these short stories also adapt epiphany to
