Firearm-Related Homicide in Sweden : A Latent Class Analysis of Suspected Offenders

Sweden has witnessed a significant increase in the rate of firearm-related homicide. We therefore aimed to study the characteristics of individuals suspected of homicide, attempted homicide, preparation to commit homicide as well as conspiracy to commit homicide with a firearm in Sweden. By using information from different registers, suspected individuals between 2000 and 2017 and aged 15 to 60 we

Socioeconomic inequalities in death from past to present : An introduction

In the early postwar period, improvements in life expectancy in many Western countries made health authorities, health scientists and politicians believe that social differences in mortality converged. The assumption was that inequality, when measured as death rates, was on steady decline, possibly even on the brink of disappearing. The question is then, how far back in time can social differences

A highly-contiguous genome assembly of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, provides insight into a major forest pest

Conifer-feeding bark beetles are important herbivores and decomposers in forest ecosystems. These species complete their life cycle in nutritionally poor substrates and some can kill enormous numbers of trees during population outbreaks. The Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) can destroy >100 million m3 of spruce in a single year. We report a 236.8 Mb I. typographus genome assembly usin

Biosynthesis of the sex pheromone component (E,Z)-7,9-Dodecadienyl acetate in the European Grapevine Moth, Lobesia botrana, involving ∆11 desaturation and an elusive ∆7 desaturase

The European grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana, uses (E,Z)-7,9-dodecadienyl acetate as its major sex pheromone component. Through in vivo labeling experiments we demonstrated that the doubly unsaturated pheromone component is produced by ∆11 desaturation of tetradecanoic acid, followed by chain shortening of (Z)-11-tetradecenoic acid to (Z)-9-dodecenoic acid, and subsequently introduction of the sec

Hässleholmskvinnor i kampen för rösträtt

Den svenska demokratin firar hundraårsjubileum. År 1921 hölls första riksdagsvalet med allmän och lika rösträtt. Hur såg kampen för kvinnors rösträtt ut i Hässleholms kommun? Här porträtteras: Nelly Thüring, uppvuxen i Mala och verksam som fotograf i Lund från sekelskiftet 1900, en av de fem första kvinnorna i riksdagen; Maria Schalin, medlem i Frisinnade Kvinnor, propa­gerade för kvinnors rösträt

Old and New Perspectives on Mortality Forecasting

This open access book describes methods of mortality forecasting and discusses possible improvements. It contains a selection of previously unpublished and published papers, which together provide a state-of-the-art overview of statistical approaches as well as behavioural and biological perspectives. The different parts of the book provide discussions of current practice, probabilistic forecastin

Some spanners in the works of grounding mechanisms removed

In this paper I address two concerns with Kelly Trogdon’s grounding mechanism view, i.e. the idea that metaphysical explanation can be modeled on causal-mechanical explanation. The first concern threat-ens to undermine the unity that grounding-mechanical explanations imposes on metaphysical explana-tion; and the second concern requires the grounding mechanic to put forth a formal condition on grouIn this paper I address two concerns with Kelly Trogdon’s grounding mechanism view, i.e. the idea that metaphysical explanation can be modeled on causal-mechanical explanation.
