This comparative study explores how breaches can be applied to unveil potential blindspots within the social constructs surrounding design practice in Sweden and New Zealand. When in-depth interviews with designers in both countries were analysed, similarities and differences appeared. The underlying norms and values identified suggest that the two countries share a similar value-base in relation This comparative study explores how breaches can be applied to unveil potential blindspots within the social constructs surrounding design practice in Sweden and New Zealand.

In Classical Athens, being at war was more common than peace. The military expenditures were correspondingly large. The main puzzle, however, is notfinancial, but where the Athenians found the multitude of rowers needed for their ships. It was not until the end of the Peloponnesian War that there were good reasons to use slaves as rowers. The Spartan occupation of Decelea in 413 BCE had profound eIn Classical Athens, being at war was more common than peace. The military expenditures were correspondingly large.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the contemporary population based incidence of acute lower limb ischaemia (ALI) and factors associated with major amputation/death at one year. Methods: In this retrospective observational study, in hospital, operation, radiological, and autopsy registries were scrutinised to capture 161 citizens of Malmö, Sweden, with ALI between 2015 and 2018. Age

Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and biocl

The 2018–2019 Central European drought was probably the most extreme in Germany since the early sixteenth century. We assess the multiple consequences of the drought for natural systems, the economy and human health in the German part of the Elbe River basin, an area of 97,175 km2 including the cities of Berlin and Hamburg and contributing about 18% to the German GDP. We employ meteorological, hyd

The ecosystem-atmosphere flux of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) has important impacts on tropospheric oxidative capacity and the formation of secondary organic aerosols, influencing air quality and climate. Here we present within-canopy measurements of a set of dominant BVOCs in a managed spruce- and pine-dominated boreal forest located at the ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation Syste

The Last Interglacial (LIG) experienced substantial changes in seasonal insolation compared with the present day, which may have affected the hydrography and water-mass exchange in the North Sea and Baltic Sea region. Here we investigate the effects of solar radiation and greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing on the regional climate by analyzing model simulations of the LIG (127 ka BP), pre-industrial (PI,

In recent years, digital technologies provided new affordances for movement leaders as communication strategies in political protests in order to advance democratisation processes, especially in less developed countries. In Ethiopia, numerous protests have been taken place lately, which were mainly organised along ethnic lines on the basis of nationalist sentiments. Political activists in Tigray,

Over the years more and more drama documentaries regarding the mediatisation of past events have been released on various platforms such as online streaming services. Mediatisation is the influence the media has on an individual’s everyday life either through the influence of a medium or through the act of communication. The drama documentary genre on the other hand is built through the combinatio

Cultural memories are meaningful for the present and are often constructed in remembrance media that institutions produce and audiences engage with. While the remembrance media texts have been getting much attention, the perspective of media audiences is still underresearched. Processes of mediatization, digitalization, and the affective turn call for studies that approach social media audiences’

This thesis explores the relationship between feminism and advertising from the individual woman's perspective. In-depth qualitative interviews with fourteen Swedish women have been conducted, in which a number of feminist advertisement videos have been viewed and discussed. This has been done in order to explore which audience reactions and actions that these advertisements generate; an area

This research addresses the potential of political comedy and satire as television genres in the construction of democracy and civic culture in Colombia. Through a set of elite interviews with representative individuals in the media, political humor and media scholarship circles of the country; and through genre-based and political, economical and cultural analyses, this research underscores the r

Molecular blood biomarkers are lacking for high-grade (HG) gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). To histologically distinguish between neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), neuroendocrine tumors G3 (NET G3), adenocarcinoma and MINEN is often challenging. The mRNA-based NETest has diagnostic, prognostic and predictive value in neuroendocrine tumors G1-2 but has not been studied in
