This chapter reports preliminary findings from a study of epistemic consequences of misinformation in social networks. It uses the methodology of computer simulation, constructing computer models of Bayesian learning in networks that include untrustworthy sources. Censorship and de-platforming take time and money, and they violate social and democratic norms of inclusiveness and free speech. Enqui
In this paper, the role and significance of opinion-shaping and persuasion activities are explored through an analysis of the activation of women in the Swedish labour market in the 1960s, highlighting the ways in which gender equality ideals became infused in these activities through a process of ‘transformative state feminism’. The analysis draws on qualitative data including archival material a
The research presented in this paper is based on interviews with 51 employees from 51 different organizations (including private and public sectors). Employees were interviewed more than once, over a period of 6 months, each interview lasted between 30 min to 1 h. The discussion in this paper is based on interviews during sessions which were explicitly dedicated to Information Systems and Cybersec
The transition to farming in the coastal environments of southern Scandinavia remains a key conundrum in European prehistory. This region was heavily exploited by Late Mesolithic communities of the Ertebølle culture, complex hunter-fisher-gatherers who flourished for some 1500 years prior to the arrival of farming at around 4000 BCE marking the start of the Neolithic period. Extensive genetic and
Background: Proficient Human Papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping services are essential to support HPV and cervical cancer elimination strategies, in particular to support HPV vaccine research. Objectives: To perform a global HPV genotyping proficiency study, with evaluation in relation to previous proficiency studies. Study design: The proficiency panel contained 44 coded samples (40 samples containi
Tumour angiogenesis and the levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor type I (PAI-I) are both informative prognostic markers in breast cancer. In cell cultures and in animal model systems, PAI-I has a proangiogenic effect. To evaluate the interrelationship of angiogenesis and the PAI-I level in breast cancer, we have evaluated the prognostic value of those factors in a total of 228 patients with p
This paper reports the observation of top-quark pair production in proton-lead collisions in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is performed using 165 nb−1 of p+Pb data collected at sNN = 8.16 TeV in 2016. Events are categorised in two analysis channels, consisting of either events with exactly one lepton (electron or muon) and at least four jets, or events with two
Background: Nocturnal hypoxemia commonly affects people with pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Research Question: What are the current practices for assessment of sleep and nocturnal hypoxemia in PF, and what are the research priorities and outcome measures of importance for nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT)? Study Design and Methods: People with PF and health care professionals (HCPs) with expertise in PF, s
We report resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of neon atoms interacting with intense x-ray pulses generated using an x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL). We find that an unexpected peak emerges near the Ka line of Ne, which does not coincide with any physical resonances of neon ions. We perform theoretical calculations based on a quantum-state-resolved rate-equation approach with x-ray
28th of September 2016 Seven Year Review of the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies at Lund University Alan Irwin, Kate Soper and Richard Taylor were asked to evaluate the Institute and besides being given access to all necessary material they also visited the Institute for a week this past April. Their efforts culminated in this document. We thank our three evaluators for all their hard work

The objective of the study was to assess sense of coherence (SOC) many years after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and explore the relationship between SOC and self-rated life satisfaction (LS) as well as measures of functioning and disability, sex, age at injury, injury severity and time post-injury. Sixty-six individuals (aged 18-65 years) who were 6-15 years post-injury were interviewed. Data on S
To explore the global sequence and dispersion of repolarization of the right atrium, monophasic action potentials (MAPs) were sequentially recorded from the right atrium using an electroanatomical mapping (CARTO) system in 10 healthy pigs and in 10 patients with (n=6) and without (n=4) paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) during sinus rhythm, or using two MAP recording catheters in 30 patients wit
Swedish theatre around 1970 was socially committed and experimental, in a vibrant time of new forms within an ideological climate. This context forms a paradoxical and important backdrop to Lars Norén’s great success as a traditional, yet innovative playwright in the 1980s. Lars Norén made his debut as a poet in 1963 and as a playwright in 1973, with Fursteslickaren at the Royal Dramatic Theatre
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of medium and large vessels of the body which is mainly characterized by the formation of lipid rich plaques within the arterial tissue. It is the most common cause of cardiovascular disease leading to clinical manifestations of coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease. Immune responses targeting modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) play an im
