Abstract på danskaDenne artikel undersøger relationen mellem kold krig og velfærd ved at afdække hvordan Civilforsvaret i stigende grad blev bygget ind i velfærdsstatens arkitektur fra midten af 1950’erne. Artiklens hoveddel er tre case-studier: et socialt boligbyggeri, en skole og et hospital, der alle havde vitale funktioner i det beredskab, der var etableret af Civilforsvaret for at imødegå denThis article explores the relationship between welfare and warfare during theCold War by focusing on the increasing incorporation of civil defence into welfare state architecture from the mid-1950s. Three case studies: a social housing area, a school and a hospital, demonstrate how ordinary welfare architecture had vital functions for civil defence in preparations for the nuclear war. The article

An interrupted time series analysis of gambling behavior based on gambling operator revenue-based taxation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden

Objectives: The impact of COVID-19 on gambling behavior and the gambling industry itself has been widely speculated. Prior studies have shown how boredom, social isolation, poor mental health, and financial hardships, all of which have been associated with COVID-19, can aggravate problem gambling behaviors in patients with gambling disorders while also luring newcomers. Few studies have used metho

Growth after the streaming instability : The radial distance dependence of the planetary growth

Streaming instability is hypothesized to be triggered at particular protoplanetary disk locations where the volume density of the solid particles is enriched comparable to that of the gas. A ring of planetesimals thus forms when this condition is fulfilled locally. These planetesimals collide with each other and accrete inward drifting pebbles from the outer disk to further increase masses. We inv

Evaluation of Simple Algorithms for Proportional Control of Prosthetic Hands Using Intramuscular Electromyography

Although seemingly effortless, the control of the human hand is backed by an elaborate neuro-muscular mechanism. The end result is typically a smooth action with the precise positioning of the joints of the hand and an exerted force that can be modulated to enable precise interaction with the surroundings. Unfortunately, even the most sophisticated technology cannot replace such a comprehensive ro

Blended and Online Learning Environments : Motivations, Contradictions, and Influencing Factors

Blended and online learning environments continue to grow, transforming higher education. The motivation behind this study is to explore blended and online learning environments, from the perspective of students, through the lens of Activity Theory (AT). Based on 12 virtual semi-structured interviews with Master's (MSc) students at one University in England, the paper sheds light onto some of the

On the osmotic pressure of cells

The chemical potential of water (//h2o) provides an essential thermodynamic characterization of the environment of living organisms, and it is of equal significance as the temperature. For cells, //H,0 is conventionally expressed in terms of the osmotic pressure. We have previously suggested that the main contribution to the intracellular osmotic pressure of the bacterium E. coli is from soluble n

Assessment of phylogenetic approaches to study the timing of recombination cessation on sex chromosomes

The evolution of sex chromosomes is hypothesized to be punctuated by consecutive recombination cessation events, forming “evolutionary strata” that ceased to recombine at different time points. The demarcation of evolutionary strata is often assessed by estimates of the timing of recombination cessation (tRC) along the sex chromosomes, commonly inferred from the level of synonymous divergence or w

Short Attosecond Pulse Trains at High Repetition Rates for Novel Pump-Probe and Coincidence Studies

This work aims at studying photoionization dynamics from atoms and surfaces at attose time scales. The work was based on development and applications of a high repetition rate High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) light source that utilizes Optical Parametric Amplification (OPA) laser technology. The laser system delivers few-cycle pulses in the near infrared (IR) at a repetition rate of 200 kHz.

Taking Seat

The sound work "Taking Seat" by Robert Willim, could be experienced from a specially designed ‘sound bench’ placed outside Skissernas Museum in Lund. Combining manipulations of words and field recordings the work reflects practices of sitting.What are the forces set in motion by sitting? What are the technologies and techniques of sitting?Anthropologists argue that we have been living in The Sitti

Standardization, IPRs and open innovation in synthetic biology

It is fair to assume that the process of standardization may have a significant impact on the development and adoption of SB. Within SB different standardization efforts have been made, but none has assumed a dominance or authority in the area. Standardization efforts within SB may differ within various technical areas, and also the basic processes of standard creation can be divided into various

Energi- och resurseffektiva murade ytterväggar

EUs Energieffektiviseringsdirektiv innebär en skärpning av kraven på byggnaders energiprestanda. För murverksbranschens del har man identifierat ett behov av att utveckla ytterväggskonstruktioner med 30 procent lägre U-värde jämfört med idag vanligt förekommande murade ytterväggslösningar. Utveckling av välisolerade murade ytterväggskonstruktioner med tunna, ytförstärkta bärande delar förefaller v

Sexual Harassment and Criminalisation

The aim of this paper is to explore sexual harassment and criminalisation, and, more specifically, to what extent the criminal legal system may serve as a measure against sexual harassment. It is not the task of this paper to provide a straightforward answer. Instead, it provides abrief account of ongoing trends in Sweden which prompts further analysis of this issue, suchas #metoo, crime statistic
