The normality of industrial and commercial waste: Economic, Technical and Organizational barriers to waste prevention

This study shows that the production of industrial and commercial waste should form part of normal organisational practices. When asked about waste prevention, representatives of food, textile, electronics and construction companies in Sweden have difficulties highlighting concrete waste-prevention objectives, measures and outcomes. Instead, they highlight economic, technical, and organisational b

Revisiting the life of things : A cognitive semiotic study of the agency of artefacts in Amazonia

Many contemporary scholars have recently defended the idea that the agency of things is symmetrical and equivalent to human agency. We propose an alternative approach to artefacts’ agency based on a field study concerned with contextually situated observations of the process of design of artefacts in Amazonia. By means of participant observation and interviews, we address the role of artefacts in

Vill du rädda klimatet? Välj verkliga alternativ

Sabotera gasledningar, menar Andreas Malm. Vänta på ”riktig kris”, menar Alf Hornborg. Men det duger inte. Lösningen är att fortsätta agera kollektivt genom civilsamhället med olika metoder för att mobilisera bredare massor och sätta press på makthavare, skriver forskare vid Lunds universitet.

Towards a definitive symptom structure of obsessive-compulsive disorder: A factor and network analysis of 87 distinct symptoms in 1366 individuals

Background. The symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are highly heterogeneous and it is unclear what is the optimal way to conceptualize this heterogeneity. This study aimed to establish a comprehensive symptom structure model of OCD across the lifespan using factor and network analytic techniques.Methods. A large multinational cohort of well-characterized children, adolescents, and adu

Reluctant Europeans? European integration and the transformation of Turkish politics

Turkey is in search of a new social contract premised on an extensive revision of the country's Kemalist inheritance and incorporating the economic and political transformations set in motion in the Ozal period. This is not a straightforward task for the reformist forces in Turkish politics and civil society; the imperative and nature of reform are the object of contestation between those factions

The Meanings of the People in Turkish Politics: A Genealogy

This thesis is intended to make a contribution to ongoing efforts to enhance our understanding of the “popular” in the study of politics through a critical examination of the uses and constructions of the people in Turkish politics since the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, to the present in order to distinguish between different modalities of appeals to the “people” and their implic

Familial Risks between Pernicious Anemia and Other Autoimmune Diseases in the Population of Sweden

Background. Pernicious anemia (PA) is an autoimmune disease (AID) which is caused by lack of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) due to its impaired uptake. PA is a multifactorial disease which is associated with a number of other AID comorbidities and which is manifested as part of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Due to the shortage of family studies on PA, we planned to address the problem by assessing f

Reading Spaces : Original Audiobooks and Mobile Listening

Following ‘the audiobook boom’ of recent years, born-audio narratives have emerged: texts produced specifi cally for the audiobook format and intended for mobile audio consumption. Focusing on this category of works, this article examines how the audiobook draws attention to places and situations in which we read, and how these places, in turn, infl uence the content and experience of literary worFollowing ‘the audiobook boom’ of recent years, born-audio narratives have emerged: texts produced specifi cally for the audiobook format and intended for mobile audio consumption.

Differential associations of APOE-ε2 and APOE-ε4 alleles with PET-measured amyloid-β and tau deposition in older individuals without dementia

Purpose: To examine associations between the APOE-ε2 and APOE-ε4 alleles and core Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathological hallmarks as measured by amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau PET in older individuals without dementia. Methods: We analyzed data from 462 ADNI participants without dementia who underwent Aβ ([18F]florbetapir or [18F]florbetaben) and tau ([18F]flortaucipir) PET, structural MRI, and cognitive

Heliga Birgittas bön

En bön som kallas Heliga Birgittas har blivit populär bland pilgrimer: "Herre, visa mig din väg och gör mig villig att vandra den". Den är inspirerad av Birgittas uppenbarelser, men är inte ett ordagrant citat. Den är hämtad ur en längre bön av kyrkoherden Sam Stadener, ihopredigerad av Birgittacitat som Emilia Fogelklou tillhandahållit. Denna bön publicerades i Den svenska psalmbokens bönbok 1921

RIFM fragrance ingredient safety assessment, 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13-decahydrocyclododecaoxazole, CAS Registry Number 38303-23-0

The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13-Decahydrocyclododecaoxazole was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data show that 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13-decahydrocyclododecaoxa

Ultra-hypofractionated versus conventionally fractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer (HYPO-RT-PC) : patient-reported quality-of-life outcomes of a randomised, controlled, non-inferiority, phase 3 trial

Background: The HYPO-RT-PC trial compared conventionally fractionated radiotherapy with ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy in patients with localised prostate cancer. Ultra-hypofractionation was non-inferior to conventional fractionation regarding 5-year failure-free survival and toxicity. We aimed to assess whether patient-reported quality of life (QOL) differs between conventional fractionation

Den praktiska teologin som professionsteori

Artikeln påminner svensk praktisk teologi om dess historiskt givna identitet samt visar att denna identitet härleds ur ett bestämt encyklopediskt sammanhang. Utgångspunkten för den encyklopediska bestämningen är att akademisk teologi är en i Schleiermachers mening positiv vetenskap, vars uppgift är att främja kyrka och kristendom. I denna positiva vetenskap har den praktiska teologin rollen av proThe purpose of this article is to remind Practical Theology in Sweden of its historically given identity and to show that this identity derives from a welldefined encyclopedic context. The point of departure is that theology is a positive science, in the sense used by Friedrich Schleiermacher: a science directed towards a specific goal, which in theology's case is the wellinformed government of th

Late postpancreatectomy hemorrhage from the gastroduodenal artery stump into an insufficient hepaticojejunostomy : a case report

Background: Mortality after elective pancreatic surgery in modern high-volume centers is very low. Morbidity remains high, affecting 20–40% of patients. Late postpancreatectomy hemorrhage is a rare but potentially lethal complication. The exceptionality in our case lies in the underlying mechanism of its clinical presentation. It is a demonstration of the difficulties associated with finding the s

Generic Drug Switch in Epilepsy – Pharmacokinetic and Clinical Aspects

Background and aim: Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients as brand- name drugs, with the advantage of much lower costs. The aim of this thesis was to contribute new knowledge to the ongoing debate on the safety of generic antiseizure drug (ASD) substitutions. There was a particular emphasis on the pharmacokinetic and clinical outcomes.Methods: In papers I and II, a prospective naturali

Third time recurrent Boerhaave’s syndrome : a case report

Background: Effort rupture of the esophagus or Boerhaave’s syndrome is a rare entity, and prognosis is largely dependent on early diagnosis and treatment. Recurrent effort ruptures are very rare, only reported in a few case reports in English literature. We present a case with a third time effort rupture, and to the best of our knowledge there are no such previous publications. Furthermore, the pr
