Barriers for Inclusion in Swedish Jazz Culture: Subcultural Restraints and Possibilities in a Male Dominated Environment

Cultural values and beliefs within the jazz community have intrigued social scientists for a long time. Being one of the oldest recognised subcultures, jazz has been celebrated for its socio-political ambitions as well as the complexity and aesthetics of the music itself. Being recognised as an outlet for fighting social injustices throughout history, the notable exclusion of female jazz musicians

Remote and unsupervised digital memory assessments can reliably detect cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease

INTRODUCTION: Remote unsupervised cognitive assessments have the potential to complement and facilitate cognitive assessment in clinical and research settings. METHODS: Here, we evaluate the usability, validity, and reliability of unsupervised remote memory assessments via mobile devices in individuals without dementia from the Swedish BioFINDER-2 study and explore their prognostic utility regardi

Tunneling dynamics of Dy 164 supersolids and droplets

The tunneling dynamics of a magnetic Dy164 quantum gas in an elongated or pancake skewed double-well trap is investigated with a time-dependent extended Gross-Pitaevskii approach. Upon lifting the energy offset, different tunneling regimes can be identified. In the elongated trap and for sufficiently large offset, the different configurations exhibit collective macroscopic tunneling. For smaller o

Beyond Justice versus Efficiency – Reconciling Law and Economics approaches to Fairness

Recent years have seen the dominance of neoclassical, marginalist and welfarist schools of Competition Law and Economics being challenged more vigorously than ever [See two major collecting works on fairness in economics in: Fennell and McAdams (2013) and Cappelen and Tungodden (2019)]. Although the core assumptions of the neoclassical school regarding overt reliance on rationality and efficiency

Osteopontin : A Key Multifaceted Regulator in Tumor Progression and Immunomodulation

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is composed of various cellular components such as tumor cells, stromal cells including fibroblasts, adipocytes, mast cells, lymphatic vascular cells and infiltrating immune cells, macrophages, dendritic cells and lymphocytes. The intricate interplay between these cells influences tumor growth, metastasis and therapy failure. Significant advancements in breast canc

The future of fossil fuels, chemicals, and feedstocks : Outlining a research agenda on the role of China in the global petrochemical industry

Petrochemical production is tightly entangled with fossil fuel extraction and constitutes the primary driver of oil demand growth. Therefore, scholars have increasingly started exploring the linkages between fossil fuels and chemicals, tracing their importance for the political economy of energy transitions. A defining feature in the global petrochemical industry is that the majority of the recent

A Study in Additive Manufacturing of Windings for Traction Machines

This work presents a literature study over how additive manufacturing can be used to improve the performance of windings for traction machines when it comes to materials, loss minimization and thermal management, especially for concentrated windings. It continues to present the additive manufacturing methods most suitable for additively manufacturing windings. The lessons from manufacturing coils

Att navigera i ett nytt digitalt landskap -- En fallstudie om svensklärares och skolledares syn på AI i skolan

Föreliggande uppsats hade det övergripande syftet att skapa ökad förståelse för hur lärare och skolledare möter det nya och komplexa fenomenet AI i skolan. Studiens syfte uppfylldes genom att med en fallstudie genomföra kvalitativa intervjuer med åtta gymnasielärare och tre verksamma skolledare. Resultaten visar varierande erfarenheter av AI, men samtliga lärare efterfrågar mer tid för att fortbil"Navigating a New Digital Landscape – A Case Study on Swedish Teachers’ and School Leaders Perspectives on AI in Schools" This paper aimed to, through a case study, gain a better understanding of how teachers and school leaders navigate the new and complex phenomenon of AI in schools. The purpose of the study was fulfilled by conducting qualitative interviews with eight upper secondary

Scanning WAXS microscopy of regenerated cellulose fibers at mesoscopic resolution

In this work, regenerated cellulose textile fibers, Ioncell-F, dry-wet spun with different draw ratios, have been investigated by scanning wide-Angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) using a mesoscopic X-ray beam. The fibers were found to be homogeneous on the 500nm length scale. Analysis of the azimuthal angular dependence of a crystalline Bragg spot intensity revealed a radial dependence of the degree of

Did the Danish Supreme Court Give the Fashion Industry the Kantian Boot?

The long-running case,1 which revolved around the brightly colored, fashionable leather boots by iconic Danish designer Ilse Jacobsen, ended with the Danish and European fashion industry on the receiving end of the legal boot. The Danish Supreme Court stopped short of awarding copyright to Ilse Jacobsen as a reward for her ‘free and independent creative effort’ in regard to the design of the now i

Let´s dance! excessive royalties and the economic value of music

Case C-372/19 Belgische Vereniging van Auteurs, Componisten en Uitgevers CVBA (SABAM) v Weareone.World BVBA and Wecandance NV, Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Fifth Chamber) of 25 November 2020 The most recent excessive pricing case considered by Court of Justice of European Union (CJEU) revolved around fees imposed by a national royalty collective society (SABAM) on two Be

Changing patronage and informality configurations in Ukraine : From the shopfloor upwards

This article examines hegemonic norms of political and moral economy in Ukraine today acting at the level of the workplace. My research is based on fieldwork I conducted in a large industrial city in the east of Ukraine from January to June 2019. Using the general Gramsci-inspired theoretical framework and the insights of Hillel Ticktin, Simon Clarke and Michael Burawoy regarding Soviet and post-S

Is civilizational primordialism any better than nationalist primordialism?

The ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war seems to have prompted a return to anthropology's origins: the armchair. Claiming authority based on status and knowledge accumulated elsewhere and extrapolated to Ukraine, public scholars have proffered takes, op-eds, and geopolitical phantasies. Slow research in the full ethnographic mode, studying actors and subjectivities in fast shifting contexts, would have be

Culturally and linguistically diverse children's retention of spoken narratives encoded in quiet and in babble noise

Multi-talker noise impedes children's speech processing and may affect children listening to their second language more than children listening to their first language. Evidence suggests that multi-talker noise also may impede children's memory retention and learning. A total of 80 culturally and linguistically diverse children aged 7 to 9 years listened to narratives in two listening conditions:

Leva mer med mindre - hur bor en vital minimalist?

This project combines the theory of vital materialism by Jane Bennett with a perspective of minimalist lifestyle. The aim is to explore whether this approach of ’vital minimalism’ may offer a new, potentially more sustainable, way of designing residential architecture. A brief overview of the concept of minimalism in architecture and some of the origins of an ascetic or minimalist lifestyle shows

"Det naturliga är hormonfritt!" : om det hormonfria preventivmedelsidealet

Uppsatsens syfte är att förklara varför frågan om hormonella preventivmedel på senare tid har blivit alltmer kontroversiell. Detta uppnås genom att analysera oron för biverkningar av hormonella preventivmedel genom innehållsanalys av videoklipp och podcasts av influencers på plattformen Youtube. Studien tar hänsyn till huvudsakligen två perspektiv som förklarar det hormonfria preventivmedelsideale
