This doctoral research develops Ancestral Dramaturgies, a decolonial, practice-based methodology for investigating how personal, collective, and more-than-human histories can be activated, encountered, and transformed through dramaturgical and performative practice. The research emerges from my situated trajectory as a diasporic, Queer, non-binary artist and researcher of colour engaging with migr

Insects are by far the most successful group of animals. They occupy virtually every region and habitat on Earth and constitute roughly half of all described species on our planet. Although it has been estimated that there is perhaps as many as 20 million species of insects, only a fraction of them have been described to date. This leaves millions of them undiscovered and thus undescribed – a daun

PURPOSE: Subterminal intracranial Internal Carotid Artery (ICA-I) occlusion is a lesser-known stroke subtype which may delay access to endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). We compared clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, treatment delays, outcomes, and diagnostic accuracy between EVT-treated patients with ICA-I and carotid terminus (ICA-T) occlusions.METHODS: All EVT-treated patients with i

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the posterior fossa, that is, cerebellum and brainstem, often has a poor prognosis. Treatment options are limited. However, primary preventive measures may have changed during the last decades. We aimed to study the hospitalization-based incidence and characteristics of posterior fossa ICH and examine whether these changed during a 13-year period. Meth

Background: The external environment, including toxicants, remains largely unexplored in celiac disease (CeD). Some of the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have immune-toxic properties and may play a role in the development of autoimmune diseases.Methods: In case-control studies nested in the Norwegian MoBa and the Finnish DIPP cohorts, children with CeD were identified by case-finding (

Achieving negative resection margins (R0) is central to curative surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but its prognostic relevance in multivisceral resections has been unclear. Using the largest international registry of multivisceral pancreatic resections, we performed a propensity score-matched analysis comparing R0 and R1 resections in patients undergoing multivisceral resection

An in vitro model of classical conditioning could improve our understanding of underlying mechanisms thanks to controlled pharmacological manipulation and negligeable perturbations from external networks. Here, using mice cerebellar slices and patch clamp recordings, we present a protocol for classical conditioning of Purkinje cells in vitro at room temperature. Repeated pairing of a parallel fibe

DN DEBATT.Politiker pratar gärna om hur mycket mer pengar medelklassen får i fickan av skattesänkningar, men statistiken visar att detta inte stämmer. Tittar man på balansen mellan inbetalad skatt och utbetalade ersättningar ser man att medelklassen tappat mest under 2000-talet, skriver Niklas Altermark och Anton Svensson, forskare vid Lunds universitet.

STUDY DESIGN: Psychometric study.OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the data completeness, data distribution and ceiling/floor effects, internal consistency and convergent validity of the Swedish versions of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure IV (s-SCIM IV) and the Spinal Cord Independence Measure Self-report (s-SCIM-SR).SETTING: Swedish inpatient and outpatient spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation.METH

PURPOSE: Deleterious effects from concomitant gradients are amplified at lower field strengths and stronger gradients. We aimed to show the signal errors caused by concomitant gradients across a wide range of hardware configurations and propose corrections that can be applied during experimental design and analysis.THEORY AND METHODS: We derived a compact but accurate expression for concomitant gr

BackgroundClinical monitoring of patients with heart failure or cardiomyopathy is facilitated by detailed assessment of cardiac loading conditions. Specifically, alterations in preload and afterload may unmask pathology through effects on ventricular pressure–volume (PV) relations. Therefore, the aim was to assess non-invasive PV loops during left ventricular load manipulation in healthy participa

The increasing demand for accessible phosphorus sources, essential for plant growth, is placing growing pressure on both industry and academia. Here, we investigate nanoplatelets as carriers for phosphate species, using Laponite® as a model system for sprayable phosphorus formulations. We examine how phosphate species chain length (1, 2, 3, 14, 60, and 130 monomers) governs dispersion stability an

Abstract.– In ectothermic invertebrates, high temperatures generally accelerate developmental rates and decrease adult body sizes. However, such temperature effects on body size could have contrasting fitness effects in the two sexes, as under certain circumstances in some species small males may have higher mating success, but large female insects almost invariably have higher fecundity. Here we

The modulation of charge carrier dynamics by lattice motion is an inherent characteristic of photovoltaic materials. Increasing research interest in understanding and controlling this complex interaction has continuously grown for the past few years with the aim of further improving solar cells’ device performance. This review analyses recent studies on solution-processed organic polymers, hybrid
