The aim of this article is to give a tentative illustration of how a creative, postpolitical citizen is imagined and encouraged to unfold within the frame of a city renewal project. As a starting point, the article outlines an exploratory framework structured through the analytical concept of postpolis. Postpolis is a term that offers an illustration of the distinguishing qualities of contemporary
Objective. The aim of the study was to screen eight species of berries for their ability to prevent obesity and metabolic abnormalities associated with type 2 diabetes. Methods. C57BL/6J mice were assigned the following diets for 13 weeks: low-fat diet, high-fat diet or high-fat diet supplemented (20%) with lingonberry, blackcurrant, bilberry, raspberry, açai, crowberry, prune or blackberry. Resul
We developed an inbred rat model of diabetic embryopathy, in which the offspring displays skeletal malformations (agnathia or micrognathia) when the mother is diabetic, and no malformations when she is not diabetic. Our aim was to find genes controlling the embryonic maldevelopment in a diabetic environment. We contrasted the fetal outcome in inbred Sprague-Dawley L rats (20% skeletal malformation
I avtalsrätten utgörs en central princip av pacta sunt servanda – löften ska hållas. Denna princip, som på ytan kanske inte ser ut att innebära några svårigheter, kan leda till bekymmer sett inom ramen för användandet av letter of intent respektive letter of comfort. I det moderna näringslivet har ett flertal sätt att sluta kommersiella avtal vuxit fram och lett till att avtalslagens anbud-accepOne fundamental principle within the field of contract law is pacta sunt servanda - agreements must be kept. This principle, which on the surface might not seem very complicated, may cause problems when applied on the use of letter of intent and letter of comfort. In the modern business world several ways of entering commercial contracts have arisen, causing the offer-and-acceptance-model provide
Freedom of expression and freedom of assembly are an integral part of a democratic society and of paramount importance to demonstrations and Non-governmental organisations (NGO). Both demonstrations and NGO:s are a very important sort of social capital and are part of horizontal organisations. Russia today is characterized by dominant vertical relations, even if there is a sufficient amount of hor
Internettjänsteleverantörer är en grupp aktörer som har ägnats stor uppmärk-samhet inom ramen för upphovsrätten. Dessa aktörer är nämligen, av flera anledningar, intressanta att rikta såväl civilrättsliga som straffrättsliga krav mot med anledning av upphovsrättsintrång som begås på internet. Den öka-de svårigheten att komma åt ursprungskällan vid brott på internet är en bi-dragande faktor till vaInternet Service Providers (ISP:s) have been widely discussed in the ambit of copyright law. This group of service providers is namely, from many points of view, more interesting to pursue, when it comes to illicit material posted on the internet, than the actual source of the content. The increased difficulty to find the actual perpetrator is a contributory reason for why cop-yright owners choose
The focus of this research is to examine the basic factors affecting the West Sahrawi young refugees’ lives and survival strategies in their situation of exile in the refugee camps of Tindouf, Algeria. The purpose is to answer the following questions: First, which are the main problems as perceived by the youth born in the refugee camps? Second, which are their coping strategies? And finally, whic
Background: In January 2020, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child was incorporated into Swedish law. According to Swedish regulations, patients are to be given the opportunity to participate in quality improvement. Sometimes, the patients are children who have the right to be heard on matters concerning them, such as their experience of a hospital visit. Objective: This study a
A central concept raised by the climate justice movement is climate debt. Here, the claims and warrants of the movement support for climate debt is identified through an argumentation analysis of their central manifestos. It is found that the climate debt claim is understood as primarily restorative, in the sense that the environmental space of the developing countries must be returned, “decoloniz
Ashbya gossypii is a homothallic, flavinogenic, filamentous ascomycete that starts overproduction of riboflavin and fragments its mycelium quantitatively into spore producing sporangia at the end of a growth phase. Mating is not required for sporulation and the standard homothallic laboratory strain is a MATa strain. Here we show that ectopic expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MATα2 in A. goss
In Sweden social work with homeless people is dominated by “Treatment First” (or the staircase model). The Treatment First models weak results in combating homelessness has increased the interest for Housing First. In 2015 we started a participatory design-oriented research project in the City of Helsingborg in Sweden that aims to implement principles of Housing First in a social housing programme
In this paper we describe present work on multimodal prosody by means of simultaneous recordings of articulation and head movements. Earlier work has explored patterning, usage and machine-learning based detection of focal pitch accents, head beats and eyebrow beats through audiovisual recordings. Kinematic data obtained through articulography allows for more comparable and accurate measurements,
Gender lay theory is a framework of information interpretation related to gender categorisation and can be divided into twogeneral forms: gender essentialism versus gender as socially constructed. The present study investigated how exposure toscientifically framed explanations for gender differences affects individuals’ gender lay theory and if endorsement of an essentialist gender lay theory inflGender lay theory is a framework of information interpretation related to gender categorisation and can be divided into twogeneral forms: gender essentialism versus gender as socially constructed.

This article draws on socio-legal theory in relation to growing concerns over fairness, accountability and transparency of societally applied artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The purpose is to contribute to a broad socio-legal orientation by describing legal and normative challenges posed by applied AI. To do so, the article first analyzes a set of problematic cases, e.g., image
Bread dough was studied in relation to three Andean grain flours, quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) and canahua (Chenopodium pallidicaule), as partial replacements for wheat flour with the perspectives of dough and breadmaking. This thesis deals with the understanding of both dough as a complex system, consisting of various water-filled polymers, and dough as a viscoelast
The objective of this study was to explain the variation in cesarean section rates among hospitals (obstetrical departments) in Sweden, and to discuss its potential economic consequences. Using data from The Swedish Medical Birth Registry 1991, we made a cross-sectional study of the cesarean section rate at the departmental level. We identified some 20 determinants, demand-related as well as suppl
The newly developed website ’Den botaniska skattkammaren’ [The botanic treasury; www.botskatt.se] is presented. It is intended to be gradually filled with miscellaneous information about vascular plant taxa found in, or expected to be found in Swedish nature (i.e. including all kinds of ephemerals and garden escapes). The material included will partly be newly produced, partly reproduced with perm
Case-control and cohort studies published between 1977 and 1988 were reviewed with the purpose to evaluate the relationship between use of oral contraceptives (OC-use) and breast cancer risk, tumour biology and tumour prognosis with special emphasis on early OC-use. the risk of breast cancer was assessed in 30 case-referent studies and 5 cohort studies, and the prognosis of breast cancer had been
