Intersectional studies are expanding and generating vital and much-needed theoretical debate in the discipline of feminist/gender studies. The aim of this article is to contribute to the debate through a critical reflection over the process of translation through which the concept has been introduced, interpreted and acted upon in Swedish gender studies. The purpose is also to bridge the concept o
Circular building design could significantly reduce the environmental impact of buildings and the pressure on natural resources. However, most buildings today are not designed according to the principles of the circular economy. Most literature has focused on either methods for quantifying the lifecycle analysis of buildings and materials, or on innovative circular building materials, but not muchCircular building design could significantly reduce the environmental impact of buildings and the pressure on natural resources.

BACKGROUND: Many clinical trials have evaluated the benefit of long-term use of antiplatelet drugs in reducing the risk of clinical thrombotic events. Aspirin and ticlopidine have been shown to be effective, but both have potentially serious adverse effects. Clopidogrel, a new thienopyridine derivative similar to ticlopidine, is an inhibitor of platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate
A fitting-attitude analysis which understands value in terms of reasons and pro- and con-attitudes allows limited wriggle room if it is to respect a radical division between good and good-for. Essentially, its proponents can either introduce two different normative notions, one relating to good and the other to good-for, or distinguish two kinds of attitude, one corresponding to the analysis of go
Aims: Middle Eastern immigrants to western countries are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, the heritability and impact of first-degree family history (FH) of type 2 diabetes on insulin secretion and action have not been adequately described. Methods: Citizens of Malmö, Sweden, aged 30–75 years born in Iraq or Sweden were invited to participate in this population-based study. Ins
Background: Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has been used to reduce spasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP) for decades. The purpose of this study was to analyze to what extent BTX-A treatment was used to treat spasticity in a total population of children with CP. We investigated 1) the use of BTX-A in relation to age, sex, and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level, 2) the mos
In recent times, pragmatics has made more and more room for the theory of discourse. The switch in emphasis was triggered, amid other phenomena and theories, by the flourishing pf the communication theory, with its tenet that the process of communication is quite unstable and unpredictable. It is not only the context the one which distorts the transmission of messages, but also the mood of those i
The article presents results of a study made in the context of introducing bilingual instruction in Swedish and Arabic. Classroom interaction was videotaped in grades one to four at two urban schools. Based on the video material, an inventory was made of how Arabic was used by the bilingual teachers, and how it related to the corresponding Swedish content. Simplified language use, code-switching a
Understanding human development among the oldest old is a sequential building process taking into account building-block data, theories, and models from childhood, adulthood, and old age toward a new territory of oldest-old survivors who have lived way beyond the average life-span. A central question is whether the oldest-old survivors have developed specific survival techniques and/or protective
In porous materials the molecular confinement is often realized by means of weak Van der Waals interactions between the molecule and the pore surface. The understanding of the mechanism of such interactions is important for a number of applications. In order to establish the role of the confinement size we have studied the microscopic dynamics of molecular hydrogen stored in the nanocages of clath
Background: Falls and fear of falling (FOF) are common in persons with late effects of polio, but there is limited knowledge of associated factors. Objective: To determine how knee muscle strength, dynamic balance, and gait performance (adjusted for gender, age, and body mass index) are associated with falls and FOF in persons with late effects of polio. Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: A
Carbohydrates are involved in many cellular processes, and most biomolecules are glycosylated. Thesemodifications are used in biological systems as information carriers, helping regulate organization on the cell surfaceand interactions between cells and the environment. Galectins are a family of carbohydrate binding proteins thatbind to polysaccharides containing a galactose. Galectins have the ab
A search for flavour-changing neutral current decays of a top quark into an up-type quark (q = u, c) and the Standard Model Higgs boson, t → Hq, is presented. The search is based on a dataset of pp collisions at s = 13 TeV recorded in 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1. Two complementary analyses are pe
Enzyme catalysis in water-immiscible organic solvents is strongly influenced by the amount of water present in the reaction mixture. Effects of substitution of part of the water by other polar solvents were studied. In an alcoholysis reaction catalyzed by chymotrypsin deposited on celite, it was possible to exchange half of the water by formamide, ethylene glycol or dimethyl sulfoxide with often i
Creating bimodal grain size distribution in crystalline materials is an effective strategy to improve structural efficiency. Present investigation demonstrates that further control over topology through the formation of bimodal 'harmonic' structure simultaneously increases average values of strength and ductility, reduces the variation of corresponding properties, and thwarts the localization of p
This study evaluated the effects of a predialysis patient education programme on functioning and well-being in 28 uraemic patients. The programme consisted of four group sessions with the following themes: renal disease and dietary restriction, active renal replacement therapy, physical exercise, and the impact of chronic renal failure on economy, family and social life. Three to 9 months after ha
A method is presented to infer cloud liquid water path (LWP in kg/m2) over the ocean from passive microwave measurements of SSM/I. The algorithm to retrieve LWP is based on simulated satellite observations. They are calculated with a radiative transfer model applied to about 3000 radiosonde ascents over the Atlantic Ocean. Since radiosonde observations do not contain direct information about cloud
Human haemoglobin (Hb) may appear in a number of glycated species. The glycation pattern of Hb using shielding boronate affinity chromatography (SBAC) has been studied in the present work. SBAC is a novel separation technique, which eliminates nonspecific boronate-protein interactions by introducing a so-called shielding reagent [1,2]. Two samples from Bio-Rad (Lyphochek(R))-one from normal person
Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje år drabbas cirka 8000 svenska kvinnor av bröstcancer, och antalet nyinsjuknade ökar årligen med någon procent. I Sverige idag finns fler än 90 000 kvinnor som har avslutat eller är under behandling för sjukdomen. Med hjälp av nya återfallsförebyggande läkemedel har prognosen kraftigt förbättrats och 5-årsöverlevnaden är nästan 90 %. Den stora utmaningen i dagens bOne of the great challenges in breast cancer treatment today is to customize adjuvant treatment to each patient’s individual needs. To do this it is necessary to learn more about the prognostic and treatment predictive factors that determine the risk of relapse and response to a certain mode of treatment. This thesis describes studies on the effect of amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1), a coactiv
