This paper explores the changing meanings and understandings of the concept of care in parenting support policies in Sweden since the 1990s. Caring responsibilities and practices has historically been framed and negotiated within general family policy reforms, comprising universal child allowances and generous parental leave schemes combined with publicly funded childcare, in turn closely related Åsa LundqvistProfessor in SociologyDepartment of SociologyLund UniversitySwedenAsa.Lundqvist@soc.lu.seAbstractCapable to Care?

We investigate four different methods for background estimation in calcium imaging of the insect brain and evaluate their performance on six data sets consisting of data recorded from two sites in two species of moths. The calcium fluorescence decay curve outside the potential response is estimated using either a low-pass filter or constant, linear or polynomial regression, and is subsequently use

This study compares the performance of different models used to assess the local wind near-surface conditions at an agricultural site in Scania, southern Sweden. The methods are: (a) the WASP model (Wind Analysis and Application Program), (b) separate linear regressions of the two wind vector components, (c) a regression model based on vector correlation, and (d) linear regression of scalar wind.

Both the antibody affinity and the detectability of the label are essential in deciding the final characteristics of a heterogeneous immunoassay. This paper describes an approach to obtain a supplementary enhancement of the signal generated by using an enzyme label, e.g., by including the product of the enzymatic reaction in an additional amplification cycle during the detection step performed wit

The effects of input data uncertainty on the critical loads and exceedance estimates for Swedish forest soils was assessed using Monte Carlo simulations of the PROFILE model. The study focuses on the effects of data uncertainty on the 5%-ile critical load at 150 × 150 km resolution and the 95%-ile exceedance at 150 × 150 km and 50 × 50 km resolution. The results indicate that data uncertainty limi

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is the major source of 1-carbon units required for nucleotide synthesis. Humans have cytosolic (SHMT1) and mitochondrial (SHMT2) isoforms, which are upregulated in numerous cancers, making the enzyme an attractive drug target. Here, we show that the antifolates lometrexol and pemetrexed are inhibitors of SHMT2 and solve the first SHMT2-antifolate structures.

Pentaklorfenol (PCP) är en klorerad aromatisk förening som användes flitigt för att behandla trä mot mikrobiell nedbrytning innan den blev förbjuden på 70-talet. På grund av dess höga löslighet förekommer PCP som en grundvattenförorening kring äldre sågverk. Hjortsberga i södra Sverige är ett exempel på denna typ av förorening och är det område som undersöks i arbetet. Förorenat grundvatten spridsPentachlorophenol (PCP) is a chlorinated aromatic compound that was commonly used for treatment of wood against microbial degradation before it got banned in the 1970s. Due to its solubility in water, PCP is a common groundwater contaminant around old sawmills, for example near Hjortsberga in southern Sweden where this study was performed.. The contaminated groundwater is spreading and leaking int

I had the opportunity to work with the flood plain community: Nossa Senhora das Gracas in the Amazon in Brazil. During a month long stay I observed the daily life of the people. A life where the inhabitants shape their daily routines after the rising and dropping Solemoes river. Solemoes is a part of the Amazon river. I identified a need of harvesting water during the low water season, when the r

Young MultiParker's image competition of 2023 We're excited to announce our upcoming "Brain in Picture" photo contest! The theme of the competition: The challenge is to capture the essence of brain research in a single snapshot. We're looking for images that showcase neuroscience's beauty, complexity, and wonder (It could be immune staining of brain cells, MRI, PET, or other things linked to your

Decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) in permafrost terrain and the production of greenhouse gases is a key factor for understanding climate change-carbon feedbacks. Previous studies have shown that SOM decomposition is mostly controlled by soil temperature, soil moisture, and carbon-nitrogen ratio (C:N). However, focus has generally been on site-specific processes and little is known about v

The carbon cycle of the terrestrial biosphere plays a vital role in controlling the global carbon balance and, consequently, climate change. Reliably modeled CO2 fluxes between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere are necessary in projections of policy strategies aiming at constraining carbon emissions and of future climate change. In this study, SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) L3

Natten mot 24 april 1915 arresterades 250 armeniska politiker, poeter, författare, läkare, jurister och andra intellektuella och de flesta avrättades inom loppet av 72 timmar. Detta blev startskottet för ett folkmord som fram till 1923 skördade 1,5 miljoner armeniers liv och hundratals assyriers, syrianers, kaldéers och grekers. Folkmordet 1915 i det Osmanska riket är idag det mest utforskade fallOn the night of April 24, 1915, 250 Armenian politicians, poets, writers, doctors, lawyers and other intellectuals were arrested, most of them executed within 72 hours. This was the starting point of a genocide that until 1923 claimed the lives of 1.5 million Armenians and hundreds of Assyrians, Syrians, Chaldeans and Greeks. The Arme-nian genocide in the Ottoman Empire is today the most researche

Friendships are central to our social lives, yet little is known about individual differences associated with the number of friends people enjoy spending time with. Here we present the Friendship Habits Questionnaire (FHQ), a new scale of group versus dyadic-oriented friendship styles. Three studies investigated the psychometric properties of group-oriented friendships and the relevant individual
