Constructions of migrant victims of labor exploitation in Nordic court cases

The aim of this article is to explore how courts produce certain representations of victims of labor exploitation in the Nordic context based on court judgements from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. To achieve this, we analyze and compare criminal court judgements focused on the exploitation of migrant workers by asking: How are ‘victims’ of labor exploitation represented in Nordic court judg

Samband mellan skyddsnivå och risknivå för en vätgastankstation baserat på kvantitativ riskanalys

Currently, there are no given directives and regulations on how hydrogen refueling stations should be designed in Sweden. A proposal regarding hydrogen refueling stations H2-TSA, is being developed by Energigas Sverige and is expected to be published in 2023. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to development and future revisions of H2-TSA. It is done by analyze how a general hydrogen refuelin

From Exclusion to Extremism : The Role of Significance Loss and Identity in the Radicalization Process

Under de senaste åren har det skett en förskjutning i forskningen från att försöka förstå vem som löper risk att bli radikaliserad, till att undersöka vad som gör att vissa individer har större benägenhet att bli radikaliserad. Känslor av exkludering, diskriminering och marginalisering har tidigare kopplats till extremistiska handlingar. Trots det finns det få empiriska studier som utforskar sambaThe present thesis aims to examine the causal role of social exclusion within theradicalization process and further to explore moderating and mediating factors. In recent years there has been a move away from trying to understand who is at risk of becoming an extremist, to exploring what makes someone at risk. Feelings of exclusion, discrimination and marginalization have all been linked to partic

Radiologically enlarged cardiophrenic lymph nodes and CA-125 in relation to diaphragmatic carcinomatosis, surgical outcome, and overall survival in advanced ovarian cancer

BackgroundWe primarily aimed to determine whether the presence of enlarged cardiophrenic lymph nodes (CPLNs), visualized by computed tomography (CT), and CA-125 can be used to assess diaphragmatic carcinomatosis and residual disease (RD) in advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) patients treated with upfront surgery. The secondary aim was to determine the prognostic role of CT-CPLNs in overall survival (OS

Sensory Overresponsivity and Symptoms Across the Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum: Web-Based Longitudinal Observational Study

Background:Sensory overresponsivity (SOR) has emerged as a potential endophenotype in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but few studies have examined SOR in relation to the major symptom dimensions of OCD and to symptoms across the full obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptom spectrum.Objective:This study had 2 main objectives. First, we examined the psychometric properties of the SOR Scales in a com

Polygenic scores of diabetes-related traits in subgroups of type 2 diabetes in India: a cohort study

BackgroundA machine-learning approach identified five subgroups of diabetes in Europeans which included severe autoimmune diabetes (SAID), severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD), severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD), mild obesity-related diabetes (MOD) and mild age-related diabetes (MARD) with partially distinct genetic aetiologies. We previously validated four of the non-autoimmune subgroup

Age and Referral Route Impact the Access to Diagnosis for Women with Advanced Ovarian Cancer

Purpose: The majority of women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed in late stages. Most women do have symptoms prior to diagnosis, sometimes several months before the diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the timeline from the first presentation of symptoms to a physician until there is a reasonable suspicion of cancer, among women diagnosed with advanced stage ovarian cancer. We wanted t

Morphological development of a small-scale beach nourishment in a non-tidal area

Combining hard and soft costal protection solutions can be an appropriate measure to enhance structure lifetime. This study aims to quantify the morphological evolution of the nourished stretch and adjacent coastlines. A small-scale beach nourishment has been performed in front of a rock revetment at site in Faxe Ladeplads in Zealand, Denmark. The overall objective is to learn more about the dynam

More Theory for Mortuary Research of the VikingWorld

This themed journal issue provides many examples of ways forward in the study of death and memory in the Viking world. While all contributions demonstrate that there are exciting new ways to study remains from funerary contexts that focus on different forms of citation involving material culture and monuments, this article will very briefly discuss dimensions that have not been addressed here. Spe

The impact of immunomodulating treatment on the immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory rheumatic diseases compared to healthy controls. A Swedish nationwide study (COVID19-REUMA)

OBJECTIVES: To elucidate antibody responses after the second and third dose of COVID-19 vaccine in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) treated with biologic/targeted disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b/ts DMARDs).METHODS: Antibody levels to antigens representing spike full length protein and spike S1 were measured before vaccination, 2-12 weeks after the second dose, before a

Do Exporters Import Gender Inequality?

We examine whether exposure to gender inequality at export destinations affects the gender wage gap in exporting firms. We motivate the analysis through a stylized model where wages depend on worker productivity, and men have a comparative advantage when trading with gender-unequal countries due to customer discrimination. Empirically, we use high-quality matched employer-employee data from Sweden

Arabinoxylan and its potential role in lowering the glycaemic index

Oat (Avena sativa) is a cereal crop rich in dietary fibre, vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients. It is considered to have higher nutritional values compared to other cereals (Tosh & Miller, 2016). Arabinoxylan (AX) is a hemicellulose naturally abundant in cereal crops. It is a major component of dietary fibre in crops like wheat, barley, rye, maize, rice and oats (Lu et al., 2000). Stu

High arabinoxylan oat lines characterization: structural properties and heat-treatment effect

Arabinoxylan (AX) is a beneficial dietary fibre found in cereals such as oats. This crop also possesses high quality proteins and other fibres like b-glucan that help reduce LDL and postprandial blood glucose levels. Lines with a higher content of AX have been recently identified, and the current study aimed to investigate the structure of the AX fibre in these lines in comparison to the commercia

Empirical challenges from the comparative and developmental literature to the Shared Intentionality Theory : A review of alternative data on recursive mind reading, prosociality, imitation and cumulative culture (Part 2)

Humans have an irresistible inclination to coordinate actions with others, leading to species-unique forms of cooperation. According to the highly influential Shared intentionality theory (SITh), human cooperation is made possible by shared intentionality (SI), typically defined as a suite of socio-cognitive and motivational traits for sharing psychological states with others, thereby enabling ind

Dual-Band Infrared Scheimpflug Lidar Reveals Insect Activity in a Tropical Cloud Forest

We describe an entomological dual-band 808 and 980 nm lidar system which has been implemented in a tropical cloud forest (Ecuador). The system was successfully tested at a sample rate of 5 kHz in a cloud forest during challenging foggy conditions (extinction coefficients up to 20 km–1). At times, the backscattered signal could be retrieved from a distance of 2.929 km. We present insect and bat obs
