What are we subjected to when presented with stories about art's past in the context of classrooms or collections? In order to prepare students for a profession in the humanities or in the field of artistic production and reception at large, art history courses in higher education are obliged to provide them with an understanding for the collection of texts, debates or works of art that are consid
Bird names are very important and interesting when it comes to studying iconicity. In particular, words naming birds with a distinct call, such as crow, raven, cuckoo, owl, and eagle, typically emerge by direct imitation. Initially, the name of the bird in languages mimic the sound of the bird’s call (Marttila 2011). However, over time, the sound structure of the name of the bird often becomes sub
Sammanfattning Denna uppsats behandlar fastställandet av föräldraskap i svensk rätt när barn tillkommit genom surrogatarrangemang utomlands. Surrogatmoderskap är inte tillåtet inom svensk hälso- och sjukvård, men internationella surrogatarrange-mang förekommer och medför att barn födda genom sådana arrangemang regelbundet möter den svenska rättsordningen. I avsaknad av särskild lagstift-ning på omSummary This thesis reviews the establishment of legal parenthood in Swedish law in cases where children are born through international surrogacy arrangements. Despite the fact that surrogacy is not authorized within the Swedish healthcare system, such arrangements exist abroad with increasing frequency, resulting in children commonly entering the Swedish legal order. In the absence of distinct le
Background: SARS-CoV-2 remains globally circulating, yet post-pandemic comprehensive molecular, serological, and population-level immunity data from low-resource settings such as Ethiopia are limited. This study employed genomic surveillance with seroepidemiological assessment to characterize the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 among individuals presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe a
Nyhamnen, som en gång definierades av industri, färjor och hamnfunktioner planeras bli Malmös nya stadsdel med tusentals bostäder, arbetsplatser och nya stadsfunktioner. Idag står platsen tom, karaktäriserad av stora asfalterade ytor, åtskilda av staket. Platsen befinner sig i väntan, på tröskeln mellan då och sen. I närheten av Nyhamnen finns två materialbanker. En stor del av det här arbetet hNyhamnen, once defined by industrial activities, ferry terminals and harbour functions, will in the future become Malmö’s new neighborhood with thousands of new housings, workplaces and city functions. Today the area stands empty, defined by large vacant spaces closed of by fences. The area awaits in silence, standing on the threshold between past and future. In close proximity to the site, ther
BACKGROUND In the United States, Black men are at highest risk for being diagnosed with and dying from prostate cancer. Given this disparity, we examined relevant data to establish clinical prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening guidelines for Black men in the United States. METHODS A comprehensive literature search identified 1848 unique publications for screening. Of those screened, 287 studi
Background: Previous studies demonstrated increases in diagnostic confidence and change in patient management after amyloid-PET. However, studies investigating longitudinal outcomes over an extended period of time are limited. Therefore, we aimed to investigate clinical outcomes up to 9 years after amyloid-PET to support the clinical validity of the imaging technique. Methods: We analyzed longitud
Dateringen för uppförandet av Kämpinge kyrka på Falsterbohalvön var okänd fram till 1987. Det året undersökte lärare och studenter från Lunds universitet byggnaden och kyrkogården. Kyrkan visade sig vara byggd omkring år 1400 och utformad med långhus, kor och tresidigt avslutat kor. Ett sidoaltare vid norra tvärskeppet och ett högaltare dokumenterades, liksom två separata golvnivåer och fundament The construction date for Kämpinge church on the Falsterbo peninsula was unknown until 1987. In that year, teachers and students from Lund University investigated the building and the cemetery. The church was found to be built around 1400 AD and designed with a nave, chancel and three-sided chancel gable. A side altar at the north transept and a high altar were documented, along with two separate
Background: The mechanisms underlying the obesity-cancer relationship are incompletely understood. This study aimed to characterise metabolic signatures of greater body size and to investigate their association with two obesity-related malignancies, endometrial and colorectal cancers, and with weight loss within the context of an intervention study. Methods: Targeted mass spectrometry metabolomics
The SET theory implies that energy is transferred from the catalyst system via infrared radiation to the molecules that are supposed to react. In previous investigations it has been demonstrated that the activation of the reacting species-as long as the molecules are infrared active-can occur at low adsorption strength. However, for molecules that are IR inactive, e.g. dinitrogen, this is not poss
PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes of total endovascular aortic arch repair using three-vessel inner branch stent-grafts for aneurysms and chronic dissections.METHODS: We reviewed the clinical data and outcomes of consecutive patients treated by total endovascular aortic arch repair at eight academic centers using three-vessel inner branch stent-grafts (William Cook Europe, Bjaeverskov, Denmark) be
This study investigates values and narratives of urban biodiversity in the highly culturally and biologically diverse city Cape Town, South Africa. Local expressions of values of biodiversity are explored, in the context of the challenge of accounting for diverse values of biodiversity through a green infrastructure approach. Based on interviews with practitioners involved in green space and biodi
Textile handicrafts are often seen as an important tool for women to handle times of crisis and societal change. This chapter explores and discusses the Swedish humanitarian organisation Individuell Människohjälp (Swedish Development Partner), IM, and its strategies of developing local traditions of textile handicraft work as help to self-help in the small mountain village of Vlasti in Northern Gr
Context. Hot Jupiters (HJs) with close-by planetary companions are rare, with only a handful of them having been discovered so far. This could be due to their suggested dynamical histories, which lead to the possible ejection of other planets. TOI-2109 b is special in this regard because it is the HJ with the closest relative separation from its host star, being separated by less than 2.3 stellar
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising candidates for future energy systems due to their ability to use renewable fuels and that they are energy efficient. A fully coupled two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model based on the finite element method (using COMSOL Multiphysics) is developed to describe an intermediate temperature SOFC single cell. Governing equations for various

The structural heterogeneity of tumor tissue can be probed by diffusion MRI (dMRI) in terms of the variance of apparent diffusivities within a voxel. However, the link between the diffusional variance and the tissue heterogeneity is not well-established. To investigate this link we test the hypothesis that diffusional variance, caused by microscopic anisotropy and isotropic heterogeneity, is assoc
Aims: Utilization of cheap and readily available agricultural residues as cheap carbon sources for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production by Halomonas boliviensis. Methods and results: Wheat bran was hydrolysed by a crude enzyme preparation from Aspergillus oryzae NM1 to provide a mixture of reducing sugars composed mainly of glucose, mannose, xylose and arabinose. Growth of H. boliviensis using
Nowadays for small-scale power generation there are electrochemical batteries and mini engines. Many efforts have been done for improving the power density of the batteries but unfortunately the value of 1 MJ/kg seems to be asymptotic. If the energy source is an organic fuel which has an energy density of around 29 MJ/kg with a minimum overall efficiency of only 3.5%, this device would surpass the
