Proponents of religious non-doxasticism standardly aim to show how a commitment to traditional religion can be rational in the absence of religious belief. We demonstrate how the non-doxastic framework can be given a much wider application. In a study on Swedish semi-secularity, sociologist Ann af Burén has discovered a pattern where subjects simultaneously entertain naturalistic and supernatural

Nya studier visar att elever ofta ignorerar feedback. Samtidigt vet vi att feedback är centralt för lärande. För att förstå vad som händer måste vi betrakta feedback som en sammanhängande process i flera steg av uppmärksamhet, tolkning, förståelse och användning. Detta i motsats till en traditionell modell som endast betraktar den feedback som ges (input) och elevens motsvarande prestation (output

Collagen type II (CII)-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice is a model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in which the role of T lymphocytes remains controversial. To clarify this, we have bred a targeted gene deletion of TCR beta or delta loci into two mouse strains susceptible to CIA, the B10.Q and DBA/1 strains. The TCRbeta-/- mice lacked alphabeta T cells, which was compensated by an expansion of B cell

Transgenic techniques in inbred mouse strains are powerful tools to investigate the specific roles of genes in biological pathways and disease models. However, there is increasing concern over the influence of a variable genetic background in such experiments. To date there have been few investigations of the immunological differences between inbred mouse strains used in models of autoimmune disea

Previous research has shown that class differences in adult mortality in the study area emerged only in the mid-twentieth century. Such findings question a universal association between socioeconomic status and mortality. This chapter examines whether these class differences in adult mortality emerged at the same time in urban as in rural areas. The analysis shows that the social class gradient in

This article aims to examine the nexus between social media, anti-corruption activism and democratisation in authoritarian regime contexts. It will investigate the complex ways in which civil society actors utilise art and humour on social media platforms to engage in covert anti-corruption activism. In doing so, we will show how, in authoritarian contexts, digital (social media) activists creativ

Previous research indicates that higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) have an important role in L2 learning. In an online learning context, e-assessment tasks are ideally designed to target these skills. A recently conducted study by Johansson (2020) indicates that HOTS e-assessment is relatively common in Swedish online English as a Foreign Language (EFL) courses. Generally, instructors’ perceptio

Background: In luminal breast cancer, adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitors (eg, abemaciclib) improve invasive disease-free survival. In patients with T1–2, grade 1–2 tumours, and one or two sentinel lymph node metastases, completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND) is the only prognostic tool available that can reveal four or more nodal metastases (pN2–3), which is the only indication for adjuvant abe

The intact SP6 χ promoter stimulated transcription 30 times more efficiently than did a control promoter consisting of a TATA motif as the only promoter element. Mutation of the SP6 χ promoter decamer in two positions reduced the transcriptional stimulation activity by over 90%. Promoters containing the SP6 χ promoter octamer or a consensus octamer in front of a TATA box were ineffective immunoglo

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate what measures Baltic coastal States may take under international law to respond to the Russian shadow fleet and to the deliberate damage to submarine cables and pipelines in the Baltic Sea. The thesis addresses three research questions concerning the available legal measures and the extent to which existing international legal frameworks are sufficient

This chapter summarizes current knowledge and diagnostic criteria for T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL). T-PLL is an aggressive disease characterized by a proliferation of small to medium-sized lymphocytes with a postthymic phenotype usually involving the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and skin. The leukemic cells are usually positive for CD2, CD3 CD5, CD7, CD43, CD52, and CD26, but

It is apparent that climate change is progressing, increasing the frequency of heavy rainfall events. In coastal areas, halocline formation caused by increased freshwater inflow can inhibit vertical mixing, reducing oxygen concentration in the bottom layer. The Ariake Sea, an inner bay in Japan with a large tidal range, has faced serious issues such as red tides and hypoxia. Previous studies

This paper firstly proposes a simple yet efficient generalized approach to apply differential privacy to text representation (i.e., word embedding). Based on it, we propose a user-level approach to learn personalized differentially private word embedding model on user generated contents (UGC). To our best knowledge, this is the first work of learning user-level differentially private word embeddin

En diskussion rörande 2 Piers och The Glass Bubble av konstnären och landskapsarkitekten Monika Gora. Verken diskuteras i förhållande till platsbegreppet och mot en bakgrund av teoretiker och konstnärer som Miwon Kwon, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Rosalind Krauss, Robert Smithson och Ana Mendieta.
