This paper empirically examines the relationship between fuel prices and patenting activity in environment-friendly technologies in the auto industry across the OECD countries for the period 1994-2011. Overall, the results suggest that tax-inclusive fuel price affects innovative activity in environment-friendly technologies. More specifically, the analysis shows that the technologies aiming to red
Det blir allt mer populärt att spela eller gamea som man oftast säger. Framförallt gäller det unga killar som identifierar sig som gamers. Gaming-kulturen har växt otroligt fort de senaste åren och vissa gamers kan till och med leva på att gamea som sysselsättning, i någonting som kallas esport. Esport är ett område som det inte pratas så mycket om och därför är det intressant att undersöka. SyfteMore and more people are getting into gaming. Mostly young males who identify themselves as gamers. The gaming culture has grown rapidly over the last few years and some of the best gamers in the world can make a living by playing games. Esports is a new field that does not get much attention which makes it interesting to study. The purpose of this study is to increase knowledge about gamers'
Under 2017 återaktiverades totalförsvarsplikten för alla svenska medborgare. Situationen startade igång diskussioner kring jämställdhetsintegrering eftersom Sverige porträtterar sig själva som en modern, jämställd, nation. Utöver detta är Sverige en medlemsstat av Förenta Nationerna (FN) och måste förhålla sig till FN:s säkerhetsrådsresolutioner. Därmed behöver staten nationellt implementera ResolDuring 2017 the conscription for all Swedish citizens was reactivated. This situation triggered discussions surrounding gender mainstreaming since Sweden portrays itself as a modern, equal, nation. In addition, Sweden is a member state of the United Nations and has to adapt to their Security Council resolutions. Therefore the Resolution 1325 on women, peace, and security (2000) also has to be impl
Background: Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) affects 50–80% of pregnant women and is correlated to the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe condition, with an incidence of 0.2–1.5%, characterized by consistent nausea, vomiting, weight loss and dehydration continuing after the second trimester. Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to inves
OBJECTIVES: Preterm birth has been linked with increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, potential causality, sex-specific differences, and association with early term birth are unclear. We examined whether preterm and early term birth are associated with ASD in a large population-based cohort. METHODS: A national cohort study was conducted of all 4 061 795 singleton infants born
This study examines the influence of scientific knowledge in rule-making processes aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union. Specifically, the paper examines the case of regulation on forest biomass in the revised Renewable Energy Directive from 2018. Through the method of process-tracing, the paper seeks to explain the science-policy interface in the case. The so called “u
In this paper, I discuss resistance against antisemitism in relation to the overall antiracist struggle. Inspired by postcolonial theory and critical race studies, and by locating notions of “Swedishness” at the core of the analysis, I show that antisemitism can be understood as a form of structural racism entangled with other racisms.

Reuse and recycling were important, but often forgotten, parts of managing the preindustrial fashionable wardrobe. Through researching diaries and extant garments from Swedish collections, the sources reveal everyday textile practices of costly textiles, mending, turning, altering, using old fabric or garments for new, change of parts or color, and reuse of textile material for new fabrics.

RATIONALE: Preterm infants diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are thought to have fewer and larger alveoli than their term peers, but it is unclear to what degree this persists later in life.OBJECTIVES: To investigate to what degree the distal airspaces are enlarged in adolescents born preterm and to evaluate the new Airspace Dimension Assessment (AiDA) method in investigating this gr

Diamond–Blackfan anemia (DBA) results from haploinsufficiency of ribosomal protein subunits in hematopoietic progenitors in the earliest stages of committed erythropoiesis. Nemo-like kinase (NLK) is chronically hyperactivated in committed erythroid progenitors and precursors in multiple human and murine models of DBA. Inhibition of NLK activity and suppression of NLK expression both improve erythr
Arsenic (As) is one of the most important dangerous elements as more than 100 million of people are exposed to risk, globally. The permissible threshold of As for drinking water is 10 μg/L according to both the WHO’s drinking water guidelines and the Iranian national standard. However, several studies have indicated that As concentrations exceed this threshold value in several regions of Iran. Thi
Background and aims The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) shares several common pathways with atherosclerosis. Prospective clinical plasma biomarker studies in AAA have been hampered by the need for very large cohorts and long follow-up time. Methods We analyzed a prospective longitudinal cohort of middle-aged individuals from the cardiovascular cohort of the Malmö Diet and Cancer st
Background: Novel efficacious treatments with long-term tolerability are needed for transplant-ineligible, newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients. This phase 2 study evaluated the safety and efficacy of all-oral ixazomib-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone (ICd) followed by single-agent ixazomib maintenance. Patients and methods: Patients were randomised (1:1) to receive 4.0 mg of ixazomib, 3

BackgroundCancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) comprise a heterogeneous population of stromal cells within the tumour microenvironment. CAFs exhibit both tumour-promoting and tumour-suppressing functions, making them exciting targets for improving cancer treatments. Careful isolation, identification, and characterisation of CAF heterogeneity is thus necessary for ex vivo validation and future impl
In this thesis, I examine the datafication of football through the lens of document theory. From this perspective, I view data as necessarily material, social and cognitive. The aim of the thesis is to (1) increase the understanding of how the intensified quantification of sport shapes fans’ interaction with it and (2) to bridge a gap between document theory, as a part of library and information s
