Vem styr det civila samhället i Sverige? Denna viktiga gemensamma del av samhället, skild från staten och marknaden, framställs ofta som en motvikt till den maktordning som gäller i politik och näringsliv. I rörelser som idrottsföreningar, intressegrupper och trossamfund kan strukturerna tyckas mer tillåtande och inkluderande. Men vad vet vi egentligen om det civila samhällets interna hierarkiska
How is practical change work carried out in modern organizations? And what kind of challenges, tasks and other difficulties are normally encountered? In a turbulent and changing world, organizational culture is often seen as central for sustained competitiveness. Organizations are faced with increased demands for change but these are often so challenging that they meet heavy resistance and fizzle
Fishing is a livelihood that is typical for many Indigenous peoples in the world and is often based on specific natural resources within areas that they have traditionally inhabited, giving rise to a distinct culture and way of life. Fishing may be important for the subsistence of an Indigenous group but also for trade, social life, language, ceremonies or artwork. It is also transmitted from gene
The immune cell component of the tumor microenvironment is an important modulator of tumor progression. In patients with breast cancer, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) represent core aspects of anti-tumor immunity, both increasingly recognized for clinical relevance. In this study, we evaluated immune-related histology features using whole slide H&E
Mounting climate-related floods, fires, droughts and storms across the globe raise crucial questions about the role of law in adjudicating rights and obligations. While climate litigation attracts scholarly attention, vulnerable populations often lack the means to use formal laws and courts. We draw on ethnographic interviews conducted in 2022 in the city of Cartagena, Colombia, to study how resid
Group A Streptococcus (GAS)causes infections ranging from mild sore throats to severe invasive disease; however, no licensed vaccine is currently available. In this thesis, the author leverages streptolysin O (SLO), an important GAS protein and therapeutic/vaccine target, as a model system to develop a multimodal protein mass spectrometry(MS) strategy. Through an integrated approach of MS-based pr
This chapter explores the interaction between competition law and especially Article 101(3) TFEU and environmental and climate change goals in the context of the EU’s Green Deal and the aim of energy transition. First, it reviews the evolution of the Commission’s and national authorities’ approaches to environmental and climate benefits in their general assessment of horizontal and vertical agreem
Ne Zha has successfully created both an emotional and patriotic bond with Chinese audiences while boosting China's cultural confidence.
We reconcile dense and sparse modelling by exploiting the positive aspects of both. We employ a high-dimensional, approximate static factor model and assume the idiosyncratic term follows a sparse vector autoregressive model (VAR). The estimation is articulated in two steps: (i) factors and loadings are estimated via principal component analysis (PCA); (ii) a sparse VAR is estimated via the lasso
Our food and land-use systems are critical for staying within our planetary boundaries and the Earth’s system resilience. Among the six Transformations required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the fourth Transformation—focusing on food, land, and water—is crucial. This Transformation is key to achieving SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 12 (Responsib
Research question: Do directed oocyte donors differ from non-directed identity-release oocyte donors regarding pre-donation motives and ambivalence, and post-donation satisfaction and openness? Design: The study is part of the longitudinal Swedish Study on Gamete Donation where consecutive samples of identity-release gamete donors at seven Swedish University Hospitals were approached during a 3-ye

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is known for its multiple physiological functions, including beneficial effects against several metabolic disorders. This study explores enzymatic strategies to enhance the functional value of Andean seeds, specifically tarwi (Lupinus mutabilis), cañihua (Chenopodium pallidicaule) and quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) real varieties, by converting their naturally occurring
