Neofobi, rädslan för det nya har genom historien alltid varit förekommande hos människor, sett evolutionärt så finns det troligen fördelar med detta. Med detta sagt så är det många saker i det mänskliga samhället som i stora drag varit snarlika genom tiderna varvid frågan om GMO, vilken totalt (kan) omkullkastat hur människor traditionellt tillskansat sig föda. Trots högljudda rop från alla kanter
Abstract Denna uppsats fokuserar på Gustaf Wingrens lära om kallelsen vilken har sin grund i Wingrens avhandling Luthers lära om kallelsen från 1942. Det är ett textstudium där den övergripande frågeställnigen handlar om Wingrens syn på Guds handlande med människan i den yttre ordningen och i det inre samvetet. Det jag kommer fram till är på vilket sätt Guds rike, det jordiska och himmelska riket,
This thesis explores the discursive depiction of life in Portugual from the perspective of lifestyle migrants and digital nomads on TikTok. The aim of this thesis is to uncover the motivations of foreigners to live in Portugal, lifestyle migrants’ integration into Portuguese society, and their acknowledgement of the growing gentrification issues in Portugal. The method used in this study is Norman
Cultural tourism and cultural heritage management, while distinct disciplines with differing foci, are also inherently intertwined. However, conflicts between the two often arise due to the diverse number of stakeholders and interests involved in either the travel industry or the conservation and protection of cultural heritage. Despite this, cultural tourism can greatly benefit the conservation o
The idea of Chile as a “miracle” of neoliberal reform has been extensively confronted since October of 2019 in a large wave of protests throughout the country, by a vast majority feeling excluded from its benefits. Despite this conflict (known as the “Estallido Social”, or “Social Outbreak”) occurring exclusively in cities, previous analyses do not explicitly address the role of urban space in thi
This thesis explores how sustainability-oriented venture capital firms (sVCs) evaluate sustainability-oriented early-stage startups. While sustainability has gained prominence in financial discourse, its role in early-stage venture evaluation remains diffuse. Startups with strong sustainability missions often face investor hesitation; not due to lack of relevance, but due to limited standardizatio
Extractivist projects are causing widespread socio-ecological destruction across Indonesia, impacting ecosystems, rural communities, and Indigenous ways of life. At the forefronts of socio-ecological collapse, women are increasingly taking up leadership roles in environmental activism. Simultaneously, women environmental defenders (WEDs) are experiencing a growing crisis of violent repression. Thi
The most frequently used model to describe the exponential increase in mortality rate over age is the Gompertz equation. Logarithmically transformed, the equation conforms to a straight line, of which the slope has been interpreted as the rate of senescence. Earlier, we proposed the derivative function of the Gompertz equation as a superior descriptor of senescence rate. Here, we tested both measu
Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is often found in chronic infections, including cystic fibrosis lung infections and those related to chronic wounds and venous ulcers. At the latter sites, P. aeruginosa can be isolated together with Staphylococcus epidermidis, and we have therefore explored the effect of clinical isolates and laboratory strains of P. aeruginosa strains on colonization by S. epiderm
A report from the conference Post-Colonialism and Global Migration and the exhibition Inclusion/Exclusion held in Graz, Austria, in 1997.
With the ongoing developments in the field of anti-amyloid therapy for Alzheimer’s disease, it is crucial to better understand the longitudinal associations between amyloid-β deposition and altered network activity in the living human brain. We included 110 cognitively unimpaired individuals (67.9 ± 5.7 years), who underwent [18F]flutemetamol (amyloid-β)-PET imaging and resting-state magnetoenceph
This article describes the synthesis and characterization of novel cationic five-coordinate Pt(II) complexes containing nitrogen sugar-based ligands. The cytotoxicity of the complexes was evaluated on different cell lines with the expectation that both the coordinative saturation and the sugar moiety cooperate to enhance their biological activity. In fact, the complexes resulted to be more active
Every day we make choices, but our degree of investment in them differs, both in terms of pre-verbal experience and verbal justification. In an earlier experimental study, participants were asked to pick the more attractive one among two human faces, and among two abstract figures, and later to provide verbal motivations for these choices. They did not know that in some of the cases their choices
BACKGROUND: We previously observed decreasing resection rates of non-metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma (GaC) in the US and some European countries. If and to what extent these trends affect the trends in overall survival (OS) of patients with non-metastatic GaC at the population level remain unclear. This large international population-based cohort study aimed to assess the impact of the previousl
The formation of platoons, where groups of vehicles follow each other at close distances, has the potential to increase road capacity. In this paper, a decentralized control approach is presented that extends the well-known constant headway vehicle following approach to the two-dimensional case, i.e., lateral control is included in addition to the longitudinal control. The presented control scheme
BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a clinical diagnosis and was long categorized as an acquired disorder, but more and more genetic etiologies are being identified. This review aims to identify the clinical characteristics that are associated with genetic CP to aid clinicians in selecting candidates for genetic testing.METHODS: The PubMed database was systematically searched to identify genes asso
