We extend the generalized information criteria for high-dimensional penalizedmodels to sparse statistical jump models, a new class of statistically robust and computationally efficient alternatives to hidden Markov models. In a simulation study, we demonstrate that the new generalized information criteria selects the correct hyperparameters with high probability. Finally, providing an empirical ap

En av den moderna demokratins mest bestående, och i allt högre grad aktuella, frågor är om, och i vilket avseende, folket kan vara närvarande. Samtidigt som folkets närvaro har, och alltjämt fortsätter att vara, demokratins villkor, har det sedan länge ansetts omöjligt för folket att vara närvarande i faktisk bemärkelse. Enligt det konventionella narrativet har denna frånvaro setts som en nödvändiIn modern political thought, one of the most recalcitrant, and increasingly pressing, questions of modern democracy is whether, and in what sense, the people can be present. While the presence of the people has, and continues to be, the sine qua non of the democratic form of government, it has also been for a long time held that the people cannot be present literally or in fact. According to the c

This book addresses an under-researched area within populism studies: the discourse of supporters of populist parties. Taking the 2019 European elections as their case study, the authors analyse how supporters in eleven different countries construct identities and voting motivations on social media. The individual chapters comprise a range of methods to investigate data from different social mediaThis book addresses an under-researched area within populism studies: the discourse of supporters of populist parties.

Filmen handlar om avhandlingen Kustnära yrkesfiske i förändring: Från mångsysslare till entreprenör som prisades med utmärkelsen Årets ciceron i besöksnäringen 2022 av Stiftelsen för kunskapsfrämjande inom turism och BFUF. Det kustnära yrkesfisket är idag en del av besöksnäringen. Malin Anderssons forskning visar hur det här går till. Det värdskap som yrkesfiskarna bedriver i hamnarna blir som lär

Epithelial cells play an important role in maintaining the intestinal mucosa barrier, a barrier that is impaired in several inflammatory conditions. The mechanisms behind this impairment are not known, but it can be presumed that structural alterations of the epithelial cells are involved. In support of this notion, we here show the inflammatory mediator leukotriene D4 (LTD4) triggered first a rap

Mechanisms of resilience against tau pathology in individuals across the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum are insufficiently understood. Longitudinal data are necessary to reveal which factors relate to preserved cognition (i.e. cognitive resilience) and brain structure (i.e. brain resilience) despite abundant tau pathology, and to clarify whether these associations are cross-sectional or longitudinal

In international law, according to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, a coat of arms of a state and other state emblems are protected against use in trademarks. Included in the protection is also ”any imitation from a heraldic point of view” of the protected emblem. This phrase has been further defined in EU law. The Court of Justice of the European Union held in the ”

Detta kapitel har som utgångspunkt den historiska relationen mellan Alfred Nobel och Karlskoga, då kommunen nu mer än 100 år efter Alfred Nobels död försöker bygga upp platsvarumärket ”Alfred Nobels Karlskoga” i syfte att generera regional tillväxt och utveckling. Att använda sig av en känd person från bygden i syfte att marknadsföra en plats är inte ovanligt. Liknande exempel kan hämtas från exem

Building on the experiences from organising participatory urban art in the stigmatised suburbs of various Swedish cities, the article discusses the ways in which such processes democratise space and develop democratic praxis. It then points at the implications of such lessons for organising workplace democracy.

Background: With the increasing digitalization in health care, an effective instrument is necessary to assess health care consumers' digital competencies-their "eHealth literacy." The 7-scale eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ), based on the theoretically robust eHealth Literacy Framework, has shown strong psychometric properties in Denmark and Australia.Objective: The aim of this study was to t

Background: Because overweight and obesity are still increasing and prevention of childhood obesity is more likely to be effective when initiated in preschool children, the Child Health Service in the south of Sweden developed a structured child-centred health dialogue model targeting all 4-year-old children and their families. The aim of this study was to describe parents' recalled experiences of

It is often a challenge for a child to communicate their pain, and their possibilities to do so should be strengthened in healthcare settings. Digital self-assessment provides a potential solution for person-centered care in pain management and promotes child participation when a child is ill. A child's perception of pain assessment differs when it is assessed using digital or analog formats. As w

Humans have an irresistible inclination to coordinate actions with others, leading to species-unique forms of cooperation. According to the highly influential Shared intentionality theory (SITh), human cooperation is made possible by shared intentionality (SI), typically defined as a suite of socio-cognitive and motivational traits for sharing psychological states with others, thereby enabling ind

Protein-DNA interactions are involved in many biological processes essential for gene expression and regulation. To understand the molecular mechanisms of protein-DNA recognition, it is crucial to analyze and identify DNA-binding residues of protein-DNA complexes. Here, we proposed a novel descriptor shape string and another two related features shape string PSSM and shape string pair composition
