This article examines the ways in which parenting practices of refugee parents are the object of concern for the Danish welfare state. Emphasis is placed on how interventions of daycare institutions and other welfare professionals have been experienced by refugee families who live in a context of radical uncertainty since they hold temporary residence permits in Denmark. Based on ethnographic fiel
Filtration through porous media is the oldest form of drinking water treatment and, to this day, constitutes a focal point of research in water engineering. Mathematical models of filtration are often used in conjunction with supplementary models of concurrent phenomena. For instance, both fluid flow inside and outside the filtering medium are of interest, and models of both flow through porous me
Why are some men attracted to misogynistic groups? Drawing on literature on intergroup threat, we hypothesize that men who perceive that their status is threatened are more likely to engage with misogynistic groups. We also hypothesize that anger reactions to such threats is an important mechanism explaining why perceived masculine status threats lead to such engagement. In a survey (N = 2,751) we
Klima is a carbon-backed cryptocurrency running as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). In 2021, it had accumulated 9 million metric tons of digital carbon credits and reached a market value of more than US$1 billion. In 2023, its treasury stored twice as many carbon credits, but its spot price was a tiny fraction compared to 2021. Building on prior scholarship at the intersection of car
Secondarily phosphatised olenid trilobites from organic-rich limestones (orsten) in the Furongian (Upper Cambrian) of Vastergotland, south-central Sweden, are described and illustrated. All trilobites originate from the Peltura scarabaeoides Zone and were collected on the western slope of Kinnekulle. Only the dorsal exoskeletons have become secondarily phosphatised, and the ventral appendages are
This study investigated whether there is an association between bone density and features of the metabolic syndrome in relation to hormonal status. All women aged 50 to 59 years living in a defined geographic area in Sweden were offered a health assessment program including blood glucose, lipid profile, blood pressure, and bone densitometry. Women were divided into 3 groups according to their horm
We have performed lifetime measurements in the sequences of2S1/2 and2D3/2 states for the alkali-like 4d10 ns,nd configurations of neutral silver. Selective stepwise excitations from the 4d10 5s2S1/2 ground state were performed using two pulsed dye lasers. Optical transients were recorded and evaluated with regard to the decay time. The lifetime results are compared with those of a theoretical stud
PURPOSE: To report a surgical technique for transplantation of full-thickness neuroretinal sheets into the subretinal space of a large animal with a vascularized retina and to establish the light microscopic morphology of such specimens. METHODS: Twelve normal pigs underwent transplantation of a neuroretinal sheet from a neonatal donor into the subretinal space by means of a vitrectomy-based techn

Objectives: We studied the range in urinary levels of 2-thiothiazolidine-4-carboxyl acid (TTCA), a metabolite of CS, and phthalic acid (PA), a common metabolite of phthalates, across factories and departments in the contemporary rubber manufacturing industry. Methods: Spot urine samples from 101 rubber workers employed in nine different factories were collected on Sunday and during the workweek on
Aquaporins are water channel proteins that facilitate the movement of water and other small solutes across biological membranes. Plants usually have large aquaporin families, providing them with many ways to regulate the water transport. Some aquaporins are regulated post-translationally by phosphorylation. We have previously shown that the water channel activity of SoP1P2;1, an aquaporin in the p
Cystatin C (CstC) is a potent cysteine-proteinase inhibitor. The structure of the mouse CstC-encoding gene (Cst3) was examined by sequencing a 6.1-kb genomic DNA containing the entire gene, as well as 0.9 kb of 5′ flanking and 1.7 kb of its 3′ flanking region. The sequence revealed that the overall organization of the gene is very similar to those of the genes encoding human CstC and other type-2
We have studied the detailed reaction mechanism of iron and manganese superoxide dismutase with density functional calculations on realistic active-site models, with large basis sets and including solvation, zero-point, and thermal effects. The results indicate that the conversion of O-2(-) to O-2 follows an associative mechanism, with O-2 directly binding to the metal, followed by the protonation
A group of Swedish oncologists and hospital physicists have estimated the number of patients in Sweden suitable for proton beam therapy. The estimations have been based on current statistics of tumour incidence, number of patients potentially eligible for radiation treatment, scientific support from clinical trials and model dose planning studies and knowledge of the dose-response relations of dif
