This study was conducted as part of a government commission which wasgiven to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Swedish EPA) in 2014.The Environmental Protection Agency mandated the International Institutefor Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University to conducta research study on nudging. The study has served and will serve as a directinput to further strategic work
Pointing with the chin is a practice attested worldwide: it is an effective and highly recognizable device for re-orienting the attention of the addressee. For the chin point to be observed, the addressee must attend carefully to the movements of the sender’s head. This demand comes into conflict with the politeness norms of many cultures, since these often require conversationalists to avoid meet
Since the colonial period spatial violence has been a regular occurrence for people throughout Yangon (Rangoon). These acts, led by successive state powers have only increased. Since 2021, the scale of these violences are unprecedented and country wide displaying raw brutality exerted by the junta.Yangon Stories is a collaborative research project aimed at documenting and bearing witness to the sp
Rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD), enactment of dreams during REM sleep, is an early clinical symptom of alpha-synucleinopathies and defines a more severe subtype. The genetic background of RBD and its underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we perform a genome-wide association study of RBD, identifying five RBD risk loci near SNCA, GBA, TMEM175, INPP5F, and SCARB
Side-channel resilience is a crucial feature when assessing whether a postquantum cryptographic proposal is sufficiently mature to be deployed. In this paper, we propose a generic and efficient adaptive approach to improve the sample complexity (i.e., the required number of traces) of plaintext-checking (PC) oracle-based sidechannel attacks (SCAs), a major class of key recovery chosen-ciphertext S
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is effective and safe for adults with severe depression, but less studied in adolescents. Here, we examined the indications, prevalence, practice, response and remission rates, and side effects in young people treated with ECT in Sweden. We also examined the usage of ECT in the transition to adult psychiatry. Using data from national patient registers and the Swedis
Background: The nature of free, uncomplexed prostate-specific antigen (s) in the circulation is still unknown. In this study, we developed novel anti-PSA antibodies using PSA produced by a metastasized cancer cell line, LNCaP, as an immunogen. Methods: Hybridoma cell lines were screened with different methods that aimed at finding antibodies specific for the forms of free PSA produced by LNCaP cel
Purpose: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) exists in the serum in several molecular forms that can be measured by immunodetectable assays: free PSA, PSA complexed to alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (complexed PSA) and total PSA, which represents the sum of the free and complexed forms. We determined the normal distribution of values and established the appropriate reference ranges for these 3 molecular for
Background: The favorable properties of lanthanide chelates compared with conventional fluorescent probes have attracted considerable interest. A Eu3+ chelator, 4,7-bis(chlorosulfophenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (BCPDA), has been synthesized previously. Methods: We here describe immunoassay, immunohistochemistry, and microarray applications of a new streptavidin-based universal p
We describe a novel assay for detection of point mutations. The method combines the specificity and sensitivity of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allele-specific oligonucleotides (ASO) with highly sensitive time- resolved fluorometry. ASO probes differing by a single base substitution and labeled with europium (Eu) chelates were hybridized in solution simultaneously with a biotinylated ol
Polyclonal antibodies against semenogelin (SG) isolated from human seminal vesicle secretion and acid phosphatase (PAP), β‐microseminoprotein (β‐MSP), and Prostate‐Specific Antigen (PSA) derived from human prostatic fluid, as well as a monoclonal antibody against β‐MSP were used for immunocytochemical detection of the respective antigens in different organs from different species. SG immunoreactiv
Background: The free PSA fraction in serum of patients with various prostatic disorders is essentially unreactive with the anti-proteases in blood. Recently reported data show that it is likely to consist of a mixture of proPSA, internally cleaved PSA forms, and possibly other uncharacterized forms. Currently there are no specific methods available to measure the different free PSA subfractions an
Public involvement in health and social care research is increasingly prioritized by policy-makers and research funders. Often, the impact of the involvement is described in terms of how it has contributed to the research outcomes and how it has affected the involved members of the public. There is a dearth of studies reporting from the perspective of researchers themselves of having involved memb
Elaborating on conceptualizations of kitsch in the realm of art and sociology in the context of ISIS propaganda and culture, this article introduces the concept of jihadi kitsch. Kitsch is characterized by a compulsion to escape from the banality of daily reality and lack of coherent meaning in modern society through, in the words of the philosopher and sociologist Theodor Adorno, a self-made and Elaborating on conceptualizations of kitsch in the realm of art and sociology in the context of ISIS propaganda and culture, this article introduces the concept of jihadi kitsch.

Providing an in-depth and cutting-edge investigation into the rise of Asian research practices and paradigms, Mats Benner examines how this rise has been accomplished, what effects it has had, and how it has shaped universities across seven Asian countries.
The essay aims at understanding the nationalist characters present in the cultural discourse of Romanian national-communism by the multilayered analysis of i) communist regime cultural politics, which developed the discourse on the nation in a Marxist-Leninist framework; ii) the keywords around which Romanian public discourse was build since the beginning of modernity until the instauration of com
Genom fyndet av delar från en eller två Husabykistor, med en klar anknytning till Västergötlands medeltida härskargrupp, under gräset på Gudmuntorps kyrkogård aktualiserades en genomgång av Rikard Holmbergs undersökning av den medeltida kyrkan samt de slutsatser han presenterat i en artikel för snart 60 år sedan. Resultatet blir att en kyrka med kunglig prakt och möjligen en oppositionell grupper
