We live in ‘Tomorrowland’; a land at the nexus of social science and natural science where the solution to our problems will be found tomorrow. The paper addresses the impossibility of international relations by proposing an alternative approach located in critical social theory. The paper utilises critical social theory to critique contemporary liberal assumptions and rationalisations of cultures

Medverkar gör pianisterna Hans Pålsson och Francisca Skoogh, sopranen Amelia Jakobsson, Lunds Kammarsolister och Malmö Akademiska Kör under ledning av Daniel HaSalomon Smith Kammarmusikförening celebrates the composer and composition professor Staffan Storm with a portrait concert. It will feature the premiere performance of the string quartet "Rifts and Pathways" along with a selection of his works from the past 20 years. Participating artists include pianists Hans Pålsson and Francisca Skoogh, soprano Amelia Jakobsson, Lund Chamber Soloists, and Malmö

Vid regeringsbildningar har flera länder ett system där det enligt så kallade investiturregler krävs en omröstning i parlamentet. I och med 1974 års regeringsform är detta fallet även i Sverige. I den jämförande analys av olika länder som genomförs i detta kapitel visar det sig att ett sådant system är känsligt för förändringar av partisystemet. En genomgång av alla statsministeromröstningar i Sve

AimTo investigate the incidence rate of urinary tract infections (UTIs) among febrile infants aged ≤60 days before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study in 2 Swedish paediatric emergency departments between 2014 and 2022. We included full-term infants aged ≤60 days with fever without source. We calculated the annual incidence rate of UTI per 1000 births

Background: Insufficient physical activity is a growing public health concern and is closely linked to obesity in both adults and children. Swedish physical activity on prescription (PAP) is effective in increasing physical activity levels in adults, but knowledge about how PAP is used in paediatric healthcare is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to explore experiences of working with PAP for c

The human cathelicidin LL-37 shows activity against microorganisms, but it is also cytotoxic to host cells. The CAMP gene codes for the LL-37 precursor hCAP18 which is processed extracellularly to active LL-37. It has previously been shown that vitamin D stimulates CAMP gene activity, but less information is available demonstrating that vitamin D also can increase hCAP18/LL-37 protein production.

Revealing the local structure information of relaxor ferroelectrics is necessary for a clear understanding of their structure-property relationships, especially the determination of the size of polar nanoregions (PNRs), which is still a long-standing challenge. In this work, the local structure of the pseudo-cubic solid solutions 0.60Bi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3-0.40PbTiO3 and 0.65Bi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3-0.35PbTiO3,

The reactivity of six MnIV-oxo complexes in C-H bond oxidation has been examined using a combination of kinetic experiments and computational methods. Variable-temperature studies of the oxidation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) and ethylbenzene by these MnIV-oxo complexes yielded activation parameters suitable for evaluating electronic structure computations. Complementary kinetic experiments of

Much of our understanding of automatic control relies on descriptions and words. While rooted in mathematical theory, control is generally explained using examples and abstraction. Different terminology is used in different textbooks which can lead to inadvertent miscommunication. Here, the terminology introduced in the most frequently used textbooks is collated. The paper addresses lecturers, stu

In the generator coordinate method the wavefunctions are defined with respect to reference states that can indicate different shapes and deformations, which are examples of collective generator coordinates. In this work, we study the collective wavefunctions of Yrast states up to the terminating state of 50Cr using a recently introduced framework to calculate projected states of spins up to I = 14

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common primary liver cancer, is usually diagnosed in its late state. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sorafenib and regorafenib are one of the few treatment options approved for advanced HCC and only prolong the patient's life expectancy by a few months. Therefore, there is a need for novel effective treatments. Cyclophilins are intracellular proteins tha

Ganciclovir (GCV) is the first-line therapy against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a widespread infection that is particularly dangerous for immunodeficient individuals. Closely resembling deoxyguanosine triphosphate, the tri-phosphorylated metabolite of GCV (GCV-TP) is preferentially incorporated by the viral DNA polymerase, thereby terminating chain extension and, eventually, viral replication. H

Large attachments can dramatically affect the dynamic response of an assembled structure. In various industrial sectors, e.g., the automotive, aircraft, and shipbuilding industries, it is often necessary to predict the dynamic response of assembled structures and large attachments in early-stage engineering design. To deal with this, it is often the finite element method (FEM) that is used in the

Thanks to name statistics published by the national bureaus of statistics in Scan­dinavia it is possible to study the changing popularity of first names. This paper is based on statistics from the years 1998-2002 in Sweden, 1998-2000 in Finland and 1880-2000 in Norway. The rise and fall in popularity — and in some cases renaissance — of individual names are shown and analyzed.It is observed that o
