The narrative of domestic fiction frequently depicts a woman’s search for domestic bliss, as a mother, wife, and homemaker. Shirley Jackson has often contested this narrative by portraying female characters who, through uncanny manifestations of repressed desires and fears, go against these norms. ‘The Deamon Lover’ (1949) and ‘The Tooth’ (1949) present two female protagonists, who are confronted

Due to their representation of the Western myth, Native Americans, and women, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s semiautobiographical Little House novels have been a topic of debate since their publication between 1932 and 1971. However, scholars have overlooked the role the domestic education of girls plays in Wilder’s novels. The domestic education can be seen as a method for conveying myths of the Western

Under 1900-talets första hälft användes retroaktivt verkande skattelagstiftning återkommande i tider av krig och krigsfara för att inbringa mer pengar till statskassan. 1979 lades ett principiellt förbud mot retroaktivt verkande skattelag till i regeringsformen i 2 kap. 10 § andra stycket regeringsformen. Paragrafen innehöll dock undantag från förbudet, bland annat i tider av krig, krigsfara och sDuring the first half of the 20th century, retroactive tax legislation was used repeatedly in times of war on the European continent. 1979, however, a ban of retroactive tax legislation was written in to the Swedish constitution. The ban came with two exceptions, among them an exception from the ban when used for “particular reasons” (Swe: särskilda skäl) in times of “war, danger of war or strong

Villkorlig frigivning infördes i svensk rätt 1906 för att möjliggöra en kontrollerad övergång från fängelsestraffets frihetsberövande till livet i frihet. Reglerna var då fakultativa och endast tillämpliga för långtidsdömda. Sedan 1906 har institutet om villkorlig frigivning successivt utvidgats och utgör idag en huvudregel som ska ske efter två tredjedelar av avtjänat fängelsestraff, dock tidigasParole was introduced into Swedish law in 1906 to enable a controlled transition from imprisonment to life in freedom. Initially, the rules were discretionary and applicable only to long-term prisoners. Since 1906, the scope of parole has gradually expanded and now constitutes the general rule, allowing release after two thirds of the prison sentence has been served, though not earlier than 30 day

This essay examines the role of class in Sally Rooney’s novels Normal People (2018) and Beautiful World, Where Are You (2021). The critical response to Sally Rooney’s novel Normal People has focused on several aspects of the novel, such as how class and gender are portrayed and identity formation in recessionary Ireland, whereas literary criticism on Beautiful World, Where Are You has focused on o

Ray Bradbury is one of the most influential American writers within speculative fiction. Critics has mostly focused on his science fiction novels, but he has a series of books that through nostalgia and fantastical elements have described a part of America, both specific and universal. The three novels Dandelion Wine, Farewell Summer and Something Wicked This Way Comes have together shaped Green T

Conventional methods of pea protein extraction are resource-intensive, involving multiple purification steps that remove co-existing components such as starch. In contrast, we investigate how minimally processed yellow pea protein extracts that retain residual carbohydrates form thermally induced gels. Contrast-variation small-angle neutron scattering, rheology, and differential scanning calor

Detection of toxic hexavalent chromium in soil, groundwater, industrial effluent, etc., is of significant interest. We demonstrate the electrochemical detection of Cr(VI) using a surface-engineered mesoporous carbon-based material. The mesoporous carbon-based material is obtained by the controlled pyrolysis of a homogenous mixture of Fe and Co complexes of hydrolyzed collagen. The as-synthesized m

The production cross sections of D0, D+, and Λc+ hadrons originating from beauty-hadron decays (i.e. non-prompt) were measured for the first time at midrapidity in proton–lead (p–Pb) collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN = 5.02 TeV. Nuclear modification factors (RpPb) of non-prompt D0, D+, and Λc+ are calculated as a function of the transverse momentum (pT) to investigate

Psychiatric disorders are highly heritable and polygenic, influenced by environmental factors and often comorbid. Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) through consortium efforts have identified genetic risk loci and revealed the underlying biology of psychiatric disorders and traits. However, over 85% of psychiatric GWAS participants are of European ancestry, limiting the applicabil

BACKGROUND In patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), therapies that could further reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes are needed. METHODS In this international registry-based, randomized, double-blind trial, patients without prior diabetes or chronic heart failure, presenting with acute MI and impaired left ventricular systolic function, were randomly assigned

Liquid-phase ammonia, a carbon-free alternative fuel, is increasingly being considered for improving overall efficiency, reducing system complexity, and lowering costs across various thermal applications such as engines, gas turbines, and burners. However, the physical properties of ammonia are far from usual carbon-based fuels as it is prone to flash boiling upon injection. Therefore, experimenta

Introduction.Kraft black liquor is a side-stream produced during the kraft pulping process containing lignin, hemicelluloses and cooking chemicals. The stream is usually evaporated and burned in the recovery boiler to recover the cooking chemicals and generate energy. The mill is, however, often/sometimes limited by recovery boiler capacity, and removing some of the lignin from kraft black liquor

Neuroanatomical findings on youth anxiety disorders are notoriously difficult to replicate, small in effect size and have limited clinical relevance. These concerns have prompted a paradigm shift toward highly powered (that is, big data) individual-level inferences, which are data driven, transdiagnostic and neurobiologically informed. Here we built and validated supervised neuroanatomical machine

33Background: PSMA PET has been shown to detect more metastasis and alter management at biochemical recurrence (BCR), but it remains to be determined that it changes oncologic outcome. We assessed the quantitative parameters on 18F-DCFPyL PET at BCR and evaluated their association with tumor volume, metastatic locations with the subsequent biochemical progression free survival (bPFS). Methods: Thi

INTRODUCTION: Placental transfusion at caesarean sections (CS) is affected by different factors, such as cord clamping (CC) time and the cardiopulmonary transition of the infant. Measuring residual placental blood volume (RPBV) is one method to assess the magnitude of placental transfusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between CC time and RPBV in elective and emergency CS,

Microbial bio-aroma synthesized from biowaste, and its marketing is an emerging aspect of future research due to their benefits. However, the sensory lexicon of bio-aroma has not yet been developed so far. This study aims to identify the smell characteristics of bio-aroma produced by fermentative yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus by solid-state fermentation, where the sample was extracted from ferment

BackgroundPreliminary results from the SNAP trial presented at ESCMID Global 2025 reported a high incidence (19.8%) of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients treated with (flu)cloxacillin for Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB).ObjectiveIn Sweden, cloxacillin is used at lower daily doses, and the risk of nephrotoxicity has not been assessed in this setting.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated re

Introduction: Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) is implemented in Swedish general Mental Health Services. While FACT focuses on supporting the participation and personal recovery of individuals with complex mental health needs, critical components enabling these aspects are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to understand the critical components of FACT delivery supporting pa
