Childlessness is an increasingly visible phenomenon. Once predominantly associated with high-income settings, it now spans diverse cultural, economic, and political contexts, including the Global South. Among recent demographic shifts, childlessness has emerged as one of the most ideologically charged and widely debated topics in public discourse, particularly through media narratives. Although me
Paratransit services support individuals with limited mobility by providing access to healthcare, errands, and social activities. While designed to be enabling, these services impose temporal demands that require the user’s active engagement, such as booking in time and coordinating with other support services. This study explores how older users experience and manage the temporal dimensions of Sw
I have been studying public squares in Lund and Malmö over the past twenty years often focusing on how their uses have changed over the decades. Looking back at these studies, I have seen how the squares of these two cities increasingly have turned into crowded pedestrianized areas for extraordinary events and weekend or evening entertainment, rather than catering for more mundane needs.
Correlations between event-by-event fluctuations of anisotropic flow harmonics are measured in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV, as recorded by the ALICE detector at the LHC. This study presents correlations up to the hexagonal flow harmonic v6, which was measured for the first time. The magnitudes of these higher-order correlations are found to vary as a fu
This article examines the emerging migration corridor between Uzbekistan and Sweden based on interviews, focus groups, and data from a survey conducted in both countries in 2024. Although small in scale, this corridor is analytically significant for understanding the diversification of Uzbek migration beyond Russia and Turkey. Findings show that demographic pressures, limited employment, and envir
Heterochromatin is characterized by an inaccessibility to the transcriptional machinery and is associated with the histone mark H3K9me3. However, studying the functional consequences of heterochromatin loss in human cells has been challenging. Here, we used CRISPRi-mediated silencing of the histone methyltransferase SETDB1 to remove H3K9me3 heterochromatin in human neural progenitor cells. Despite
BackgroundWireless pH-monitoring is an accurate method for diagnosing adults with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of the Bravo capsule on children investigated for GERD in terms of safety, tolerability and feasibility before and after administration of proton pump inhibitors.MethodsA Bravo capsule was inserted during upper endoscopy under gener
Aging is accompanied by progressive physiological declines in body functions. However, the molecular mechanisms of aging remain poorly understood in decapod crustaceans, a diverse group of invertebrates. We investigated age-related differences in the hemolymph proteomes of marbled crayfish using label-free protein quantification (LC-MS/MS), applying a significance threshold of p < 0.05 and a fold
IntroductionChanges in long-term survival after stroke at the population level are incompletely characterized, particularly using recent data and stratified by stroke type.Patients and MethodsThis nationwide, register-based cohort study used data from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke) and the Swedish Causes of Death Register. Adults (≥18 years) hospitalized with ischemic stroke or intracere
AIMS: To investigate the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction and associated risk factors in pre-diabetes and diabetes in the general population.METHODS: Diastolic function was assessed by transthoracic echocardiography in a cross-sectional sample of 3840 men and women aged 50-64 years from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study. Anthropometry, medical history, blood pressure, biochemistry and
This thesis concerns oaths, curses, and prayers in Roman comedy, more precisely the comedies by the playwriter Terence (185/84 - 159 BC). So-called informal/interjectional oaths and prayers constitute the main focus of this investigation, however, asseverations, formal oaths, formal prayers, and curses are included as well. In this study, carried out by utilizing the methodological frameworks herm
Introduction: Validation of a new test method to determine nicotine from chewing gum extracts with ultra high-performance liquid chromatography. Background: In Quality Control-laboratories, the methods that are regularly used are consistently developed in order to conduct effective analysis procedures. The aim of all of these developments is to simplify the analysis as much as possible and make t
Thermal comfort is a topic that for the last century has interested designers and researchers. European and International standards have given guidelines for assessment of thermal comfort in typical indoor environments for long occupancy, however the transitory spaces and semi-external spaces have not been addressed. Available literature was reviewed and summarize to find appropriate methods for a
Drawing on a range of previously unused data to construct a data series of practically every strike in the US automotive industry from 1946-2002, this paper examines the changing relationship between strikes and wage determination in the post-war period. Drawing on the historical concept of the ‘labour-capital accord’ this study undertakes analysis on two sub-periods, 1946-1981 and 1982-2002. Thro
Abstract: This thesis is an anthropological study on how a group of people suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD] construct meaning in a community center in Copenhagen. The specific aim of this thesis is to investigate how place can be understood as a factor that plays into well-being and recovery. Based on a case study of a Danish community health center, this study shows how users
In the past decade, micro-enterprise development has gained popularity as an intervention in the Global South, including Colombia, a country where more than 90% of businesses are micro. For decades, this country has endured an internal conflict that has left millions of victims of forced displacement, who live in vulnerable situations and, in many cases, resort to creating micro-enterprises to mak
Membrane filtration was used to concentrate proteins and decrease the salt concentration in a hydrolyzed fermentation broth. The broth was a by-product from the bacterial production and extraction of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), that can be used to produce biobased plastics. 3 ultrafiltration-membranes, RC70PP, GR70PP and ETNA10PP from Alfa Laval Corporate AB, were evaluated at varying cross-flow
Climate change is one of the most significant challenges that building sector is confronting. For example, Climate change and associated extreme events are posing a significant challenge for the building sector. Buildings should be prepared to withstand the climate changes and extreme weather that will happen in the future. Designing buildings based solely on past or average weather conditions, wh
This text is a comparative case study with focus on the two cases Hungary and Poland. The purpose with this study is to investigate which factors that affect the democratic backsliding in each country. The study also aims to answer which factors that affected Poland's attempt in 2023 to become more democratic. The analysis is based on two combined theories, Nancy Bermeos theory as well as Jame
