Over the last few decades, a critical revision of prior scholarship concerning Roman domestic space has led to the reappraisal of the traditional account of the atrium suggesting a possibility for this space to be ‘unroofed’. Accordingly, scholars have proposed to look for a convergence of impulses previously cultivated in isolation combining new theoretical frameworks, and a careful examination o

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor känner sig ofta oförberedda och osäkra på att vårda och bemöta HBTQIA+-personer, särskilt transpersoner. Syfte: att belysa hur sjuksköterskor upplever sin kompetens vid vårdmöten med transpersoner. Metod: Litteraturstudie med tematisk analys baserad på nio artiklar från databaserna Cinahl och PubMed. Resultat: Fyra teman identifierades; brist på kunskap, rädsla för att gör

Detta är en studie i det internationella tänkandets subjekt. Människor och stater, om än ofta betraktade som varandras motsatser, delar en sak: de är det internationella tänkandets huvudsakliga subjekt. Avhandlingens argumentet är att orsaken till detta står att finna i det språk genom vilket subjektskap artikuleras, personbegreppets språk, som stipulerar vissa kriterier – i första hand rationalitThis is a study of subjecthood in international thought. Human beings and states, while often held to be opposed to one another, share this: they are international thought’s key subjects. The following chapters attempt to answer the question of why that is. The main argument advanced is that this is because of the particular language in which subjecthood is articulated, the language of personhood,

This paper discusses Late Iron Age gold foil figures from Scandinavia. The figures can be described as tiny humanoid beings stamped on very thin gold foil. They date to c. AD 550–800, and are commonly interpreted in representationalist ways, and as being symbols. By contrast, this paper starts from the assumption that art and imagery are simultaneously material, affective and emergent. As a conseq

Background:Adults with CHD are a growing patient group and childbirth is a relatively new phenomenon. EQ-5D is commonly used to measure health-related quality of life. We sought to investigate EQ-5D status before, during, and after pregnancy in women with CHD.Methods:We identified 128 pregnancies in 86 CHD women giving birth in Skåne County during 2009–2021. Repeated measures ANOVA was performed t

This thesis explores bodily representations in Late Iron Age Scandinavia (400–1050 AD). Non-human bodies, such as gold foil figures, and human bodies are analysed. The work starts with an examination and deconstruction of the sex/gender categories to the effect that they are considered to be of minor value for the purposes of the thesis. Three analytical concepts – masks, miniature, and metaphor –

Questions of authority are perennial. Authority has been and still is a key topic in many studies of history, society, literature, and religion, just as it is a key issue in contemporary societies. In spite of the scholarly attention, authority continues to have an elusive quality.Reframing Authority provides new perspectives by focusing on the role of materiality and media for questions of author

We perform, to our best knowledge, the first systematic mapping of the foundational economy (FE) at the sub-national level by looking at the FE employment in Swedish regions between 2007 and 2016. We show that the FE itself not only suffered less than traded activities from employment decline during the Great Recession of 2007–2009 but was also a domain of substantial job creation in the post-cris

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskans huvudansvar är omvårdnad, vilket inkluderar agerande som patientförespråkare och belysande av missförhållanden med mål att främja patientsäkerheten. Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelse av att agera som visselblåsare eller bli utsatta för en visselblåsning i samband med bristande omvårdnad. Metod: Litteraturstudien omfattade åtta vetenskapliga studier som hittades

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Gallstones (cholelithiasis) constitute a major health burden with high costs related to surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy), generally indicated for symptomatic gallstones. The association between gallstones and cholecystectomy and kidney cancer is controversial. We comprehensively investigated this association, considering age at cholecystectomy and time f

In the academic discussion about the Muslim Brotherhood, MB in Sweden, there is consensus that the Islamic Association in Sweden, IFiS is inspired by MB but the organizational relationship between the organizations has not been researched before. Holy White Lies is an English translation of the original Arabic book al-Kedhb al-Abyad al-Muqaddas. Both books were published in Cairo 2018. The book co

OBJECTIVES: To examine the role of prenatal and postnatal second-hand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure on asthma, rhinitis, and eczema development up to 16 years of age.METHODS: A birth cohort of 4089 children was followed for 16 years. Information on parental smoking habits, lifestyle factors, and symptoms of allergic disease was gathered using repeated parental questionnaires. Generalized estimating

Exercise training prevents age-related decline in muscle function. Targeting epigenetic aging is a promising actionable mechanism and late-life exercise mitigates epigenetic aging in rodent muscle. Whether exercise training can decelerate, or reverse epigenetic aging in humans is unknown. Here, we performed a powerful meta-analysis of the methylome and transcriptome of an unprecedented number of h

Rising global temperatures are creating a variety of changes in polar regions and pushing organisms to new extremes. Snow cover changes in the arctic are leading to exposed soils, allowing the soil to freeze at lower temperatures and experience freeze thaw cycles. In this study, I investigated the effect of freeze thaw cycles on arctic microorganisms, focusing on the main microbial groups bacteria

The human vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) leads to maintenance of the acuity of an image on the retina and contributes to the perception of orientation during high acceleration head movements. Our objective was to determine whether vision affects the horizontal VOR by assessing and comparing the performance at the boundaries of contribution of: (a) unrestricted visual information and (b) no visual i
