A text may be seen as the result of input from the external world and human internal aspects on it. The paper shows how the same event — a submarine following a trawler — may give rise to different types (genres) of text, e.g., a report on the facts, an evaluation of the facts, a summary of the most important features against the background of previous events, or a mixture of some or all of these.
This paper provides insights into the handling of climate change issues related to cultural heritage at different government decision levels dealing with physical planning, and in particular roads. Data are derived from a qualitative analysis of official reports and interviews with local and regional planners in three Swedish regions with contrasting climates. The theoretical lens of Institutional
Aerosol-cloud interactions contribute to a large portion of the spread in estimates of climate forcing, climate sensitivity and future projections. An important part of this uncertainty is how much new particle formation (NPF) contributes to cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and, furthermore, how this changes with changes in anthropogenic emissions. Incorporating NPF and early growth in Earth system
The conservation of migratory species poses significant challenges that may be countered by detailed knowledge about the sites used by migrants throughout the annual cycle. We present the first GPS-tracking data on the migration of declining Caspian terns Hydroprogne caspia breeding in the Baltic Sea. For 39 Caspian terns from colonies along a latitudinal gradient from 57 to 65°N, we identified ke
Social studies indicate that a gendered language may limit equal opportunities for women (Jakiela and Ozier 2018). Likewise, the use of gender-neutral pronouns may improve gender equality (Tavits and Pérez 2019). We aim to investigate this issue using cross-cultural data. The studies of (Whyte 1978) and (Sanderson and Donoghue 1989) (W1978/SD1989) connect gender inequality to cultural features.Tes
Presents a new view of the standard of living development in Sweden during the agricultural revolution, using evidence on the ability to overcome short-term economic stress. The results corroborate previous findings, based on a variety of indicators, that standard of living in Sweden increased for most people after the mid-nineteenth century, but also support a more negative view of the immediate
Combined heat and power (CHP) production in combination with a district heating (DH) grid gives an energy-efficient use of wood fuels. The heat demand in the DH grid will, however, decline in the coming decades, and operators are seeking additional heat sinks. In this case study, the integration of a pyrolysis unit into an existing CHP plant was investigated as a possible solution. The retrofitted
INTRODUCTION: Numerous prior studies, even from countries with free access to care, have associated long travel time to care with poor survival in patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS: This is a data-linkage study of all 3718 patients with colorectal cancer, diagnosed between 2007 and 2013 in Northern Sweden, one of the most sparsely populated areas in Europe. Travel time to nearest hospital w
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors are commonly used in pulmonary arterial hypertension but, as suggested by the RESPITE study, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor therapy (mono-/combination) does not always have a satisfactory treatment effect. This study aimed to investigate the clinical course of pulmonary arterial hypertension patients not at treatment goal after at least 90 days of treatment with phosp
Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TESI) is a frequently used intervention for lumbar radicular pain.
Objective. To study frequency of dose escalation in infliximab-treated patients and to identify possible predictors thereof. Methods. Patients with chronic arthritis initiating their first course of anti-TNF treatment with infliximab at Lund University Hospital were included in a structured clinical follow-up protocol. Information on diagnosis, drug dosage, disease duration, previous and ongoing D
Background: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is typically characterized by multiple colonic polyps and frequent extracolonic features. Whereas the number of colonic polyps has been linked to the APC gene mutation, possible genotype-phenotype correlations largely remain to be defined for the extracolonic manifestations. Methods: Full genomic sequencing combined with multiplex ligation-dependent
Purpose Hip dislocation after arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures (FNF) remains a serious complication. The aim of our study was to investigate FNF patients treated with THA, with a special focus of comparing the effect of surgical approach and femoral head size on the risk of revision for dislocation. Methods Data were derived from the Lithuanian Arthroplasty Register, and we calculated the c
Aims P2Y(12) receptor antagonism and platelet inhibition by prasugrel vs. clopidogrel were investigated in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Methods and results One hundred and ten aspirin treated subjects were randomized to double-blind treatment with clopidogrel (n = 55) 600 mg loading dose (LD) and 75 mg maintenance dose (MD) or prasugrel (n = 55) 60 mg LD and 10 mg MD for 28 days.
B vitamins and polymorphisms in genes coding for enzymes involved in one-carbon metabolism may affect DNA synthesis and methylation and thereby be implicated in carcinogenesis. Previous data on vitamins B2 and B6 and genetic polymorphisms other than those involving MTHFR as risk factors for gastric cancer (GC) are sparse and inconsistent. In this case-control study nested within the European Prosp
Background: To investigate hand bone loss (HBL) measured by digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) receiving different treatment regimens, and to evaluate if DXR change rates during the first 12 months correlate with radiological damage after 24 months. Methods: From the total SWEFOT trial population, 159 patients had hand radiographs correctly timed an
The starting point for the modern pornography that exists today was after the first Playboy magazine was released. The rapid spread showed that there was a market for this. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the debate on pornography in Sweden. The survey is done through a content analysis that will analyze eighteen different articles. The theories that are used are Andrea Dworkins theory o

De svenska ränteavdragsbegränsningsreglerna infördes 2009 för att förhindra att vinster fördes ut ur Sverige till länder med en mer förmånlig beskattning med hjälp av olika typer av ränteupplägg. Dessa regler har utvecklats succesivt för att täcka in ytterligare situationer där det har upptäckts att brister i regler-na. 2021 avgjorde EU-domstolen det så kallade Lexel-målet kopplat till ränteav-drThe rules on whether a company may deduct interest expenses or not was first introduced in Sweden in 2009 to make sure that the country’s tax base wasn’t emptied to countries with preferable tax laws. These rules have since then been developed to fill in any gaps that may have been discovered. In 2021 the European Court of Justice determined that the rules regarding the deduction of interest expe
