The topic of this thesis is to study which women are represented in hair-adds, -advice and -articles. Also, to study in what way representation has changes from 1970s to 21st century. The study is based on eighty-seven volumes from the magazine Veckorevyn from the period 1970-2000. The results shown that representation is mainly white woman, and this reflecting how society views women of other nat

A protein interacting with an A-T-rich region that is a positive control element within the SP6 κ promoter was purified and identified as CArG-box binding factor-A. The purified protein was shown to interact specifically with the coding strand of single-stranded DNA and, with lower affinity, with double-stranded DNA. A mutation that inhibited binding of the protein to the A-T-rich region also abor

Three new cobalt complexes of the general formula [CoIII(L)Cl]2+, where L is one of five pentadentate nitrogen-donor ligands based on the N4Py framework, have been synthesized and characterized fully by UV−visible and NMR spectroscopies, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESI-MS), X-ray crystallography, and electrochemistry. The electrocatalytic capabilities of these comp

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor inom akutsjukvård arbetar under högt tempo och med många patienter. Det är ett arbete som kräver ett känslomässigt engagemang. Långvarig och upprepad exponering för patienters lidande och trauman kan leda till emotionell utmattning och påverka sjuksköterskans empatiska förmåga. Emotionella, kognitiva och beteendemässiga förändringar hos sjuksköterskan leder till konsekven

The main goal with the thesis was to design, construct and evaluate a system able to drive and brake a mechanical axis to simulate loads and stored rotational energy - a hardware force simulator. The force simulator was then to be integrated in a existing hardware-in-the-loop testing rig to enhance the mechanical dynamics of door simulations. The force simulator was to be realised using a brushed

In this conceptual article, we argue that artificial intelligence (AI) systems are contributing to the generation of an environment of affordances for everyday information practices through which they exert influence on people and the planet in ways that often are left unrecognised. We illustrate our insights by focusing on the practices of information seeking in everyday life, suggesting that the

Whole-body glucose homeostasis is coordinated through secretion of glucagon and insulin from pancreatic islets. When glucose is low, glucagon is released from a-cells to stimulate hepatic glucose production. However, the mechanisms that regulate glucagon secretion from pancreatic a-cells remain unclear. Here we show that in a-cells, the interaction between fatty acid oxidation and glucose metaboli

Importance: Despite some promising preclinical and clinical data, it remains uncertain whether remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) with transient cycles of limb ischemia and reperfusion is an effective treatment for acute stroke. Objective: To evaluate the effect of RIC when initiated in the prehospital setting and continued in the hospital on functional outcome in patients with acute stroke. Desig

Some new interpolation inequalities are obtained in terms of maximal functions that measure smoothness. The results generalize a wide class of recent and classical inequalities and are valid for functions belonging to larger spaces (such as Triebel spaces).

We prove a Galiardo-Nirenberg type pointwise interpolation inequality for special maximal functions which measure smoothness in the multidimensional case. It turns out that the classsical inequality follows from this one; it is also possible to use naturally BMO norms in the inequality. Bibliography: 6 titles.

Why are Nordic sociologists not providing diagnoses of society these days? What has happened to our desire to describe the wider sociocultural currents of the world we live in? Where indeed are the present-day Danish Sennett, the Finnish Rosa, or the Swedish Bauman? These questions resurface now and again, yet without gaining substantial traction. Even so, present-day Nordic sociology is in many w

Barriers to healthcare for men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are rooted in stigma and discrimination against MSM fuelled by the criminalization of homosexuality. These barriers are influenced by factors involving MSM and the healthcare workers (HCWs). MSM are uncomfortable disclosing their identities and conceal symptoms of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), especial

Limited research has assessed whether sports participation can be linked to decreasing risky sexual behavior among adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa. The current study aimed to assess whether participation in a football league that provides sexual and reproductive health and rights lessons before each football match strengthened adolescent Zambian girls’ sexual health knowledge, attitudes, an

Det är viktigt att förstå att rättigheter kan etableras och utvecklas i en viss tid, för att i en annan tid utmanas, urholkas och ersättas av skyldigheter. Olika rättighetskategorier kan få olika tyngd i förhållande till varandra. Ett exempel belyses i detta kapitel, om de mänskliga rättigheternas framväxt i ett internationellt sammanhang. Bland annat behandlar kapitlet hur det kommer sig att ekon

BackgroundDigital applications that automatically extract information from electronic medical records and provide comparative visualizations of the data in the form of quality indicators to primary care practices may facilitate local quality improvement (QI). A necessary condition for such QI to work is that practices actively access the data. The purpose of this study was to explore the use of an
