This chapter uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to conceptualise changes that have occurred in the urban development in the Swedish city of Malmö. The concepts of CDA and its philosophical foundations in Critical Realism are discussed, and linked with the methodology of dialectics. The two texts Västra Hamnen – City of Tomorrow (the Western Harbour – City of Tomorrow) and Områdesfakta för Malm

PURPOSE: To determine the impact of the implementation of novel systemic regimens and locoregional treatment modalities on survival at population level in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients presenting with peritoneal metastases (PMs).METHODS: All consecutive CRC patients with synchronous PM (<3 months) between 1995 and 2014 were extracted from the Eindhoven area of the Netherlands Cancer Registry. T

For populists inside and outside of the German parliaments, Christianity is about belonging rather than believing. Yet identity politics are politics of exclusion that stifle democratic participation. In order to escape the anti-pluralist populist pattern, a starting point is to recognise Germany for what it is: a country whose citizens share multiple cultures and identities, all of which need to

Class actions in Sweden are not flourishing. This paper examines why the oldest class action regime in Scandinavia has not developed into anything more than a peripheral addition to the Swedish legal landscape, drawing on relevant procedural, political, and sociological insights. It is divided into two sections that (1) analyse the reform process in the 1990s and latest developments, including mai

For most food crops the identity and efficiency of pollinators across key growing regions remains a significant knowledge gap that needs to be addressed before we can develop crop-specific approaches for pollination service delivery. Here, we conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis on watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb. Matsum. & Nakai)), a globally important fruit crop, t

The combined use of the inverse kinematics technique and the advanced detection setup R3B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) at GSI/FAIR provides unique opportunities to study the fission process. This approach provides access to the complete isotopic identification of the two fission fragments, the precise determination of their velocities and the measurement of the neutrons and gamm

While the future and temporality have received increased attention in economic geography in recent years, there is a need for further understanding of how this creates opportunities and challenges for our methods. Based on our independent research on environmental markets, this paper discusses the methodological challenge of studying markets-in-the-making while taking the force of the future serio

A general survey of the octupole instability of high spin superdeformed (2:1) and hyperdeformed (3:1) nuclei has been performed in the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model. The octupole degree of freedom is predicted to play an important role in several already observed superdeformed nuclei around152Dy, and in particular in N=114 isotones in the Hg-Pb-region. High spin reflection asymmetric hyperdefor

The side-feeding patterns and the spectra of unresolved γ-lines are calculated for Gd, Dy and Er nuclei with neutron numbers from 82 to 86. Energies and configurations for states from the yrast line and approximately 2 MeV higher in energy are calculated as many-quasiparticle configurations in a deformed oblate potential. The γ-cascade is simulated by a Monte Carlo calculation. With a common avera

Introduction. In this article we explore how findings from existing research on time, temporality and migration can be relevant to social work practice and inform social workers’ interaction with migrating individuals. In social work literature, time mainly appear as part of the procedural knowledge as organizationally decided time frames and deadlines for work which is sometimes interna

Starting from the premise that English negative modal contractions constitute partly variable patterns of associations that include both the preceding subject and the following verb infinitive, the study sets out to investigate distributional differences between can’t, shouldn’t, and won’t and their corresponding uncontracted parent forms.

The beam performance of the MAX II storage ring is described by computer simulations. The dynamic aperture reduction due to chromaticity correcting multipoles, higher order multipoles in quadrupoles and dipoles, alignment errors and energy deviations is calculated. The future operation of the storage ring with insertion devices is discussed. The results show that the MAX II storage ring will opera
