A Nordic-Soviet programme was initiated in 1990 to evaluate the external and internal radiation exposure of the inhabitants of several villages in the Bryansk region of Russia. This area was one of the number of areas particularly affected by the nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. Measurements were carried out yearly until 1998 and after that more irregularly; in 2000,
In the research on two of the most prominent persons among those who rescued Jews from the Holocaust, Oskar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg, a reappearing purpose has been to separate mythical, and therefore more or less false, elements in the story from the true, and implicit, academic historical writing. However, during the last decades, it has been obvious that history is not only, and sometimes
This study is a contribution to the empirical underpinning of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), and it aims to identify linguistic correlates to the proficiency levels defined by the CEFR. The study was conducted in a Swedish school setting, focusing on English, French and Italian, and examined the relationship between CEFR levels (A1-C2) assigned by experienced rate
PURPOSE: The early loss of a parent is a tragedy and a serious life event. This study investigated grief resolution and morbidity in cancer-bereaved teenagers 6 to 9 years after the loss of a parent to cancer. METHODS: In a nationwide population-based study of 622 of 851 (73 %) youths who as teenagers 6 to 9 years earlier had lost a parent to cancer, we explored the magnitude of unresolved grief a
Iron-carbene complexes show considerable promise as earth-abundant light-harvesters, and adsorption onto nanostructured TiO2 is a crucial step for developing solar energy applications. Intrinsic electron injection capabilities of such promising FeII N-heterocyclic complexes (Fe-NHC) to TiO2 are calculated here, and found to correlate well with recent experimental findings of highly efficient inter
BACKGROUND: Statins have been suggested to protect against breast cancer risk, but the observational evidence is inconclusive. We examined the association between statin use and breast cancer incidence among women at higher risk of breast cancer due to a history of benign breast disease (BBD).METHODS: Using Danish registries, we identified cancer-free women aged ≥50 years during 1996-2018 with a h

Recent years has seen a growth of so-called ”Al-Qaeda franchises”, terrorist groups who formally ally with Al-Qaeda. This study investigates the phenomenon through how one such actor, the “Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat” (GSPC), has developed after its alliance with Al-Qaeda in 2006 and rebranding as ”Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb” (AQIM). By analyzing GSPC before and after the alliance
It is apparent that climate change is progressing, increasing the frequency of heavy rainfall events. In coastal areas, halocline formation caused by increased freshwater inflow can inhibit vertical mixing, reducing oxygen concentration in the bottom layer. The Ariake Sea, an inner bay in Japan with a large tidal range, has faced serious issues such as red tides and hypoxia. Previous studies
I samtida digital kultur har sociala medieplattformar blivit centrala arenor för förhandlingar kring kön, intimitet och attraktion. Tidigare forskning har i hög grad fokuserat på hur kvinnor representeras och objektifieras online, medan mindre uppmärksamhet har ägnats åt hur kvinnor kollektivt tolkar, kategoriserar och värderar män i digitala miljöer. Denna studie adresserar denna forskningslucka

CONTEXT: Uptake of organic farming falls short of stated sustainability targets, particularly in highly productive regions where adoption could mitigate environmental impacts of intensive farming. Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain the constraints on adoption, but these have not been assessed within an integrative, interdisciplinary framework.OBJECTIVE: The objective was to develop a
Premise: Flower color, a key trait influencing plant–pollinator interactions, may be influenced by abiotic factors such as soil. We investigated association between pollinators, soil characteristics, and flower color variations in Digitalis purpurea across native populations in Sweden and introduced populations in Bolivia. Methods: We measured floral traits, reflectance of petals and nectar-guide
Introduction: Evidence for gut–kidney interactions in early kidney disease is limited, particularly in community-dwelling adults with largely preserved kidney function. Here, we quantified links between gut microbiota and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in two population-based Swedish cohorts. Methods: Deep shotgun metagenomics profiled fecal samples from 9788 adults in the Swedish CAr
A computational method to simulate bimolecular quenching reactions using coarse-grained reaction-diffusion dynamics is presented and applied to the quenching of molecular photosensitizers in solution. The simulations describe photoinduced reactions involving explicit excited states of light-harvesting species together with intrinsic deactivation, as well as collision quenching from separate quench
