Christer Lundh, professor in Economic History at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, turns 65 in April 2017. This is the age of retirement in the Swedish public’s mind. It has really only been the age for retirement in Sweden since 1967, and since 1994 has been an option rather than a rule (Johannisson and Philp 2015). Given the usual short and slow-changing historical memory of people (includin
The traditional Talmian binary typology of satellite-framed vs. verb-framed languages has proven to be insufficient for showing the diversity across the world’s languages. One approach within post-Talmian motion typology follows Holistic Spatial Semantics, which has been applied to languages like Swedish, French, Thai and Telugu, but not to Slavic languages. This motivates the present research. We
Recently suggested strategies for ammonia-blended combustion promote the interest in oxygenated hydrocarbon fuels. The development of combustion models for blended fuels is challenging and the cross-reactions are critical to the performance of the models. In this work, comprehensive ab initio thermodynamic and kinetic studies targeting diethyl ether (DEE) and its cross-reactions with NH2 were carr
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess excellent material properties due to the combination of metals and reinforcing phases, yet this reduces their machinability. Numerous studies have shown that, due to the ploughing effect of the cutting tool, the edge effect can directly impact the material removal mechanism and the generation of surface integrity. However, the influence of different cutting-e
Grain coarsening inhibition in hard metals is regarded as controlled by formation of interface complexions. To date, however, direct experimental insights into the presence and evolution of interface complexions during sintering of hard metals have been lacking. We here present in-situ small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments up to 1500 °C and provide first-hand evidence on the thickness
Introduction: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) involves a long trajectory with high risk of complications. In person-centred care (PCC), patients’ needs, resources and the care relationship are central to the care process. Healthcare professionals’ (HCPs) ratings of PCC have not previously been investigated in this context. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate health
One of the outstanding goals of the planetary science community is to measure the present-day atmospheric composition of planets and link this back to formation. As giant planets are formed by accreting gas, ices, and rocks, constraining the relative amounts of these components is critical to understand their formation and evolution. For most known planets, including the solar system giants, this
Background: Poor oral health is associated with several non-communicable diseases including cardiovascular disease. There are also well-known associations between lifestyle habits, cardiovascular disease, and oral health. In Europe, SCORE2 is a recommended instrument for assessing an individual's risk of a cardiovascular event within 10 years. However, no previous studies have examined the associa
In this article, I examine and compare how the book of Esther is interpreted on two Swedish and one US based online discussion forums (Familjeliv, Flashback, and Reddit). The study is conducted from a reception critical perspective, highlighting dominant interpretations and their ideological consequences, such as the reproduction of relations of domination. While religious actors tend to praise Es
Starch is the main polysaccharide in the human diet and is the major calory supplier. The digestibility of starch can be controlled by processing conditions, which produce the rearrangement of the polymer's multi-scale structure and interactions with other components in the food matrix. The interest in consuming functional foods with polyphenols is linked to the pursuit of overall well-being. Stil
Aims/hypothesis: Low birthweight (LBW) is associated with younger age, less obesity and more hypertension among people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, as well as increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality risk. It is not known whether LBW is associated with an increased risk of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) among people with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Methods: Original mid
We analyze the clustering of scatterers in mobile radio channels, i.e, the fact that scatterers are usually not located uniformly in the whole coverage area, but tend to occur in clusters. While this has been recognized for some time, a realistic model for this phenomenon has been lacking up to now. We first analyze measurements to extract the distribution of the number of observed clusters. We th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Främmande arter är sådana som introducerats med människans hjälp till områden de inte kan sprida sig till på egen hand. Om en introducerad art är framgångsrik och lyckas etablera och sprida sig i mottagarregionen kan den påverka de inhemska arterna genom predation, konkurrens, hybridisering, parasitism och förändring av habitat. Eftersom arterna i mottagarområdet inte hWe live in a globalised world where people and goods travel large distances. Various species are brought along on these journeys, intentionally or as hitchhikers. Some of these species establish populations in regions to which they could not have spread without human assistance, and where they are considered to be non indigenous species (NIS). These species can affect the ecosystem in the recipien
This paper seeks to explain the persistence of inner-city deprivation in spite of sustained regeneration efforts, through demonstrating how urban regeneration policies are embedded in peculiar political-institutional power dynamics that actually contribute to the further disempowerment of the already disempowered groups in inner cities. The reconstruction of the post-war planning history of one sp
The aim of this study is to generate a quality-controlled sub-kilometer dataset of the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) across Scandinavia from satellite. FAPAR is required for estimating the amount of PAR absorbed (APAR) by vegetation, which in turn allows for estimation of carbon uptake. In this study, FA-PAR was modeled from normalized difference vegetation index
