Den 29 juni 2025 beslöt styrelsen för International Sociological Association (ISA) om en tillfällig avstängning (”suspension”) av medlemskapet för Israeli Sociological Society (ISS). Avstängningen, som föregicks av en serie initiativ och uppmaningar från ISA:s nationella medlemsorganisationer, hänvisar dels till ett tidigare beslut om att avbryta alla relationer med offentliga israeliska instituti
BACKGROUND: Plasma biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease could improve prognostic assessment for people with Down syndrome in both clinical practice and research settings. We aimed to identify the plasma biomarkers that most accurately predict longitudinal changes in Alzheimer's disease-related pathology and cognitive functioning in individuals with Down syndrome.METHODS: This longitudina
Controlling the surface morphology and chemical interaction is necessary for the development of advanced quantummaterials, particularly in low-dimensional systems. As the research increasingly focuses on miniature and nanoscaletechnologies, a fundamental understanding of localized or interface states becomes essential for successful integrationinto functional devices. This thesis investigates atom
BackgroundIbrutinib, a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, prolongs progression-free survival when added to immunochemotherapy as first line treatment. The ENRICH trial compared the chemotherapy-free combination of ibrutinib and the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab (ibrutinib–rituximab) with standard immunochemotherapy (R-CHOP [rituximab–cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone] or b
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling undersöker realismen i människors konfidensbedömningar. En konfidens- bedömning sker när en person uttalar hur säker han/hon är på att en proposition han/hon har framfört är korrekt. Med realism menas hur väl personens konfidensbedömning matchar korrektheten i uttalandet. Många olika faktorer påverkar realismen i konfidensen och denna avhandling fokuserThis dissertation investigates the realism in people's confidence judgments. Study I investigated whether mood influences the confidence people have in their event memory. However, there were no significant differences in the realism of the participants' confidence judgments between conditions (elated and neutral). This study concluded that moderate levels of elation might not influence the realis
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populariteten av karttjänster, t.ex. på Internet, ökar ständigt. Detta beror till stor del på en hela tiden förbättrad teknik och ett ökande antal idéer för kartapplikationer. Exempel på kartapplikationer är: positioneringstjänster, navigationstjänster, och tjänster för att söka efter, titta på och ladda ner geografiska data och kartor. Kartorna i dessa tjänster skapas The research presented in this thesis has focused on methods for improving the legibility and usability of maps in real-time map services. The aim has been threefold: to create methods to increase the cartographic quality of maps in map services, to develop methods to measure the legibility, as perceived by the user, and to evaluate the quality of maps. Map services are becoming increasingly commo
Forests are of major importance to climate change mitigation due to their strong capacity to sequester carbon. Nearly half of the terrestrial carbon is stored in forests, and forests contribute to half of the terrestrial primary productivity, with forests in the mid- and high latitude ecosystems as major contributors. These high latitude forests are, however, projected to be strongly influenced by
In blood, the oxygen-transporting protein hemoglobin (Hb) governs the oxygenation of cells and tissues. Naturally, this protein has claimed a place in the center of the research field of artificial oxygen therapeutics. Such Hb-based products have used cell-free Hb purified from human, bovine, invertebrate, or recombinant sources to create hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs). However, administ
Konflikter mellan olika samhällsgrupper och människors fördomar har länge intresserat samhällsvetenskapliga forskare. Många har också sökt svar på frågan om vad som kan göras för att överbrygga och minska dessa klyftor, splittringar och fördomar. Denna avhandling relaterar till denna diskussion och forskningsprocessen har ägt rum i flera steg. Först har en experimentell praxis utvecklats för att mConflicts between different social groups and people's prejudices have interested social science researchers for a long time. Many have also sought answers to the question of what can be done to bridge and reduce these gaps, divisions and prejudices. This dissertation relates to these discussions and the research process has taken place in several stages. First, an experimental practice has been d
If places indeed matter, as economic geographers believe, then it must matter most to the people who live their everyday lives in these places and experience the world materially and socially through it. When a crisis hits and uncertainty ensues, it affects people who call these places home the most. So much so, that some of them might be willing to stake a claim on its recovery, and development
The glymphatic system is a brain-wide solute clearance system that has developed in the brain to clear metabolic waste during sleep. This clearance is mediated by advective fluxes of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) along perivascular spaces (PVS) and through the brain. The movement of CSF from the PVS and through the brain is dependent on the polarised expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) at astrocyte endfe
Människors nyfikenhet och drivkraft att förstå och mäta vår värld har lett till många vetenskapliga framsteg. Vårt ständiga sökande efter kunskap har hjälpt oss att bland annat förhindra sjukdomar, förbättra skördar och förstå de ekosystem vi lever i. Dock varierar förutsättningar och utmaningar för forskning runt om i världen, och i många forskningsmiljöer saknas det tillgång till avancerad labor

Background: The absence of Epithelial Membrane Protein 3 (EMP3) on red blood cells (RBCs) underlies the MAM-negative (MAM−) phenotype. EMP3 is a ubiquitous protein found at low levels in most tissues but with higher expression in hematopoietic cells. Low levels of CD44 are a signature of MAM− RBCs due its proposed physical interaction with EMP3, indicating that EMP3 stabilises CD44 in the membrane
Importance: Blood phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) are promising peripheral biomarkers of Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology. However, their potential alterations due to alternative mechanisms, such as hypoxia in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest, are not known. Objective: To evaluate whether the levels and trajectories of blood p-tau, Aβ42, and Aβ40 following cardiac a
Background: Posterior cortical atrophy is a rare syndrome characterised by early, prominent, and progressive impairment in visuoperceptual and visuospatial processing. The disorder has been associated with underlying neuropathological features of Alzheimer's disease, but large-scale biomarker and neuropathological studies are scarce. We aimed to describe demographic, clinical, biomarker, and neuro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Många industridesignkonsultföretag har som ambition att anta en strategisk roll i sina kundföretag. Design ses i detta sammanhang som ett viktigt konkurrensmedel med en kreativ process som stödjer en innovationsdriven verksamhet. Samtidigt saknas ofta kunskap, framförallt i små och medelstora företag - SMF, om hur designmetoder och processer kan bidra utöver skapandet aWhile the design industry is moving into new domains, it seems that potential customers do not always understand how the designer can contribute beyond the aesthetically appealing product. The overall purpose of this thesis is to expand our understanding of design as an enabling service in the context of small and medium sized enterprises. Enabling design services have the potential to result in o
Lojalitet är ett begrepp som har funnits sedan urminnes tider, såväl från en moralisk synpunkt som en juridisk. Redan under romarriket fanns det krav på lojalitet gentemot huvudmän av differentierade slag. Vidare, under människo historiens utveckling, har lojalitet kontinuerligt spelat en central roll. Moti veringen, till ovan nämnda, är behovet av att samhället upprätthåller grund läggande etisThe principle of loyalty has existed since ancient times, both from a moral perspective as well as a judicial one. As early as the Roman Empire, the public imposed demands on loyalty to various types of principles. As different soci eties evolved at their own pace and in their own direction, loyalty continued to play a role in contractual relationships. This was based on the understand ing that
