Under hösten 2017 och våren 2018 kom Svenska Akademien och dess ställning att uppmärksammas. Bakgrunden var den turbulens i akademien som förekom efter det att anklagelser om grova brott och oegentligheter hade förts fram i massmedier. Kungens åtgärd var överraskande eftersom den tydliga utgångspunkten i svensk statsrätt är att kungen inte ska utöva någon offentlig makt.. Akademiens grundläggande

Introduction: The long-term risk of somatic disease in hepatoblastoma survivors has not been thoroughly evaluated in previous studies. In this population-based study of 86 five-year HB survivors, we used inpatient registers to evaluate the risk for a range of somatic diseases.Methods: In total, 86 five-year survivors of hepatoblastoma were identified in the Nordic cancer registries from 1964 to 20

BACKGROUND: Being involved in the care of a loved one is a desire of many next of kin. However, according to several studies of the perceptions of nursing home staff, the involvement of next of kin is not an obvious part of care. To be able to involve next of kin in care at nursing homes, the perceptions of what participation means are an important piece of knowledge. The aim of this study was the

I samband med det forna Jugoslaviens upplösning, under och efter de krig som kom att dominera mediebilder av området, har det gjorts dokumentärfilmer som på olika sätt berört det tragiska efterspelet av Josip Broz Titos och landets död. Jugoslaviens kollaps var en historisk händelse av stor betydelse för de individer och det kollektiv som utgjorde landet, men också för regionen, för Europa och vär

Utvecklingen av världen, ekonomier och städer hänger idag nära samman med den ökade digitaliseringen. Men den tekniska utvecklingen påverkar även förutsättningarna för utbildning och forskning. Idag växer det tack vare ny teknik fram nya distributionsformer och arenor för kunskapsinhämtning som ger upphov till ett förändrat utbildningslandskap på alla plan. Presentationen innehåller erfarenheter f

A study of music videos from intermedial theory perspectives. Also a case study on Mi.I.A:s song and video Paper Planes.

Nano-magnetic biocatalyst particles, lipase-immobilized chitosan-crosslinked magnetic nanoparticles (LCMNs) were prepared by a new approach integrated from magnetic nanoparticle preparation, in situ thin layer coating and crosslinking of chitosan, and enzyme immobilization method. Thin layer coating of magnetic (Fe3O4) by crosslinked chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by reacting FeCl3.6H2O and

a discussion of the music video exhibition MY MUSIC, at ARKEN art museum, Copenhagen.

This paper addresses the question of the origin of Roman fired bricks from the perspective of diffusion of innovations. It is seen as a part of a larger process, related to cultural evolution and the transferal of behavioural habits through social interaction. Fired bricks are particularly well suited to shed light on this topic, since the diffusion of bricks was both irregular and extended over a

Background: The intestinal tract is important for development of immune tolerance and disturbances are suggested to trigger autoimmune disorders. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of Maillard products in skim milk powder obtained after long storage, compared to fresh skim milk powder. Methods: Young rats were weaned onto a diet based on skim milk powder with high concentration of Mai

A feasibility study of a Bayesian based algorithm for orphan source localization by means of mobile gamma spectrometry is presented. The method was tested on three types of gamma sources (137Cs, 133Ba and 131I) using a HPGe detector mounted on a vehicle. Estimates on source activity and source locations were within 51% and 29% of actual values, respectively. Further studies are required to validat

OBJECTIVE: Depression has been associated with diabetic retinopathy and increased plasma levels of galectin-3, a lectin expressed in activated macrophages. Increased levels of sCD163, the soluble form of a macrophage expressed scavenger receptor involved in several inflammatory processes, have been demonstrated in the vitreous of the eye in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients with severe diabetic retin

Combining sustainable consumption with the circular economy concept could help tackle challenges, such as resource scarcity and climate change by reducing resource throughput and increasing cycling of products and materials within the economic system, thereby reducing emissions and virgin material use. To achieve sustainable consumption in a circular economy production and consumption practices ne

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Salt-inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) is downregulated in adipose tissue from obese or insulin-resistant individuals and inhibition of SIK isoforms results in reduced glucose uptake and insulin signalling in adipocytes. However, the regulation of SIK2 itself in response to insulin in adipocytes has not been studied in detail. The aim of our work was to investigate effects of insulin on v

The material evidence left from the cult of Sabazios is meagre, apart from sculpted bronze hands dating to the Roman Empire. The hand is held in a certain pose, the so-called benedictio Latina gesture, and the hand was often covered with depictions of various objects and symbols. The bronze hands were probably attached to staffs and carried around in processions. This practice most likely spread v
