Patent counts have been extensionally used to measure the innovative capacities of countries. However, since economic values of patents may differ, simple patent counts may give misleading rankings, if the patents of one country are on average more valuable than those of another. In the literature several methods have been proposed, which shall adjust for these differences. However, often these do
The designation of astrology as an art raises some simple but fundamentally im-portant historical questions. How old is this designation, and, given that earlier generations of astrologers wrote in different languages, what words did they use that we translate as ‘art’? What are the connotations of those different words in their historical contexts? What other designations than ‘art’ would have be

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess information literacy performance of students doing their master thesis at 5th year the Medical Degree Programme, Lund University, Sweden. The study investigates if there is a difference in performance between library class participants and non-participants. Method: A case-control approach with rubrics assessment was used to assess students’ informatio
Welders are exposed to high levels of metal particles, consisting mainly of iron and manganese (Mn) oxide. Metal particles, especially those containing Mn can be neurotoxic. In this exploratory study, we evaluated associations between welding and expression of 87 putative neurology-related proteins in serum in a longitudinal approach. The study cohort from southern Sweden included welders working
The Ålandic autonomy has evolved into a relatively well-functioning system over the last century. A scrutiny of the first three decades following the decisions by the Council of the League of Nations shows that this was not always the case. This article engages with the main political issues that Åland faced during this time, focusing on the problems that directly or indirectly involved the League
Det är dags för ett nytt socialt kontrakt som utgår ifrån individens skyldighet att bidra till ett samhällssystem som tar de ekologiska gränserna på allvar. Staten bör i sin tur garantera att det sätts ett tak på hur jordens resurser ska kunna användas för befolkningens välbefinnande, skriver Jayeon Lindellee och Max Koch.
Computed tomography (CT)-derived finite element (FE) models have been proposed as a tool to improve the current clinical assessment of osteoporosis and personalized hip fracture risk by providing an accurate estimate of femoral strength. However, this solution has two main drawbacks, namely: (i) 3D CT images are needed, whereas 2D dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images are more generally av
Strand, S.M., H.H. Christiansen, M. Johansson, J. Åkerman, O. Humlum. 2020. Permafrost and Periglacial Processes 2020Active layer probing in northern Sweden, northeast Greenland, and central Svalbard indicates active layer thickening has occurred at Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) sites with long‐term, continuous observations, since the sites were established at these locations in 1978, 1996, and 2000, respectively. The study areas exhibit a reverse latitudinal gradient in average active layer thickne
