Mobile Stroke Units (MSUs) are specialized ambulances that can diagnose and treat stroke patients; hence, reducing the time to treatment for stroke patients. Optimal placement of MSUs in a geographic region enables to maximize access to treatment for stroke patients. We contribute a mathematical model to optimally place MSUs in a geographic region. The objective function of the model takes the tra

I denna studie analyseras USA:s motiveringar till vetoanvändandet i Israel-Palestina-konflikten. Studien är av vikt för att fallet i sig är unikt och intressant. Samtidigt kan resultatet också säga något mer allmänt om möjliga tillvägagångssätt för stater som försöker rättfärdiga sitt agerande inför omvärlden. Materialet som används är resolutioner och protokoll från FN:s säkerhetsråd. Studien utg

Populism is a disputed concept and has become a popular term for describing political leaders and movements. The United States is not an exception from having its presidents and politics labeled as populist. Thus it raises the question whether American politics has become more populistic over time during the 21st century. This paper's purpose is to investigate the development of populism in co

Utgångspunkten för denna studie rör den pågående diskussionen kring patriotiska uttalanden och nationalism i den svenska politiska kontexten. Syftet är att undersöka nationalismens inflytande och närvaro i samtida svensk politik. Studien synliggör således nationalistiska tendenser i två partier, Moderaterna och Socialdemokraterna. Det teoretiska ramverket särskiljer klassisk och liberal nationalis

The Arab Spring broke out in the MENA-region in 2011 in the guise of a series of mass protests demanding political and regime change. The rebellion was triggered by a long period of autocratic rule which for the region’s citizens had meant social injustice, economic complications, oppression and lack of political and human rights. The purpose of this study is to examine the democratization process

Denna studie ämnar att undersöka och påvisa den påverkan som valsystemet har på demokratiskt backsliding i en jämförande fallstudie av Ungern och Tjeckien. Länderna har haft många liknande förutsättningar, men ändå har Ungern upplevt mer demokratiskt backsliding i olika politiska institutioner. Genom att tillämpa most similar design systemet har vi analyserat hur majoritetsaspekterna i valsystemet

De senaste 50 åren har den svenska bostadspolitiken förändrats stort. Avregleringar och liberaliseringar har skett i system som utformats med ambitionen att ge korrektiv till marknadskrafterna och gynna boendeformer som inte styrs av ekonomisk vinst. Socialdemokraterna, som varit drivande i hur den svenska bostadspolitiken organiserats, har under samma tid rört sig mot mitten på den politiska skal

A growing class of small RNAs, known as tRNA-derived RNAs (tdRs), tRNA-derived small RNAs or tRNA-derived fragments, have long been considered mere intermediates of tRNA degradation. These small RNAs have recently been implicated in an evolutionarily conserved repertoire of biological processes. In this Review, we discuss the biogenesis and molecular functions of tdRs in mammals, including tdR-med

This article explores and compares two similar debates in Germany and Sweden duringthe 1980s, in which feminists blamed the Hebrew Bible, or ‘Old Testament’, for being the origin ofthe patriarchy. In Germany, the psychologist and pedagogue Gerda Weiler articulated the discoursein several writings, which led to a scholarly debate on anti-Jewish tendencies within Christian femi-nist theology. In Swe

ObjectivesPre-treatment staging of anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) includes pelvic MRI and [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET-CT). MRI criteria to define lymph node metastases (LNMs) in ASCC are currently lacking. The aim of this study was to describe the morphological characteristics of lymph nodes (LNs) on MRI in ASCC patients with PET-CT-posi

Rubella virus encodes a nonstructural polyprotein with RNA polymerase, methyltransferase, and papain-like cysteine protease activities, along with a putative macrodomain of unknown function. Macrodomains bind ADP-ribose adducts, a post-translational modification that plays a key role in host-virus conflicts. Some macrodomains can also remove the mono-ADP-ribose adduct or degrade poly-ADP-ribose ch
