Fungi have the capacity to cause devastating diseases of both plants and animals, causing significant harvest losses that threaten food security and human mycoses with high mortality rates. As a consequence, there is a critical need to promote development of new antifungal drugs, which requires a comprehensive molecular knowledge of fungal pathogenesis. In this review, we critically evaluate curre
In this paper we develop a system for detection of word-related head movements in audiovisu-al recordings of read news. Our materials consist of Swedish television news broadcasts and comprise audiovisual recordings of five news readers (two female, three male). The corpus was manually labelled for head movement, applying a simplistic annotation scheme consisting of a binary decision about absenceIn this paper we develop a system for detection of word-related head movements in audiovisu-al recordings of read news.

The objective of control flow obfuscation is to protect the program control flow from analysis. A technique called control flow flattening addresses static analysis by hiding edges between basic blocks in a program and introduces a dispatcher block that determines the execution order of the randomized blocks.In this paper we propose a novel flattening construction and lightweight dispatchers that
The interwar period constitutes a formative period in the history of European labour movements. This study examines why the Swedish labour movement, unlike several of its European counterparts, developed during the interwar period from a weak labour movement with competing centers of power to a strong and more unified social democratized movement. In short: The path to social democratic hegemony,
This essay will discuss how public art is debated in Swedish newspapers. Selected artworks for this study are the mural painting Fuck the world by Carolina Falkholt; the installation Du gamla, du fria by Mattias Norström; and Peter Lindes statue of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The artworks have been debated both by members of the public and politicians and the debates actualize questions about gender and n
This study examines the economic and political impact of China's Belt and Road Initiative on Sri Lanka and Kenya with the intention of discussing its implications for the states’ independence and political sovereignty. By applying a realistic international political economy (IPE) with particular emphasis on Robert Gilpin's approach within realist IPE, the study considers connections betwee
This paper uses the Spanish Christmas Lottery to provide new evidence about the relationship between wealth and health for adults and infants. Using a difference-in-difference design across provinces and time, I explore how overall health status, hospitalization rates, neonatal health, and alcohol consumption are affected by lottery outcomes. For adults, my results suggest no immediate effect on t
Host societies’ attitudes towards immigrants in Europe has continuously been getting attention in recent decades of increased levels of globalization, as attitudes determine the levels of immigrants’ integration. This, in turn, has huge influence on social cohesion so important for the functioning of peaceful and just societies. While Sweden has proved itself as an exception both in terms of open
This thesis examines how the architecture of Landskrona Konsthall is experienced. Building on a formalist analysis, it investigates two distinct phenomenological perspectives, Wölfflin’s concept of spatial forces and Rasmussen’s emphasis on sensory perception. Methodologically, the study combines reading of theory with on-site field observations, in which visual and sensory impressions are documen
Företrädaransvaret är ett intressant institut inom Skatterätten som från början har sin grund i straffrätten. Det instiftades ursprungligen för att förhindra att aktiebolagsformen utnyttjades på statens bekostnad genom, att skatteskulder byggdes upp och användes som riskkapital. Reglerna som återfinns i 59 kap. 12–21 §§ skatteförfarandelagen (2011:1244) innebär att en företrädare kan bli solidarisThe rules on the liability of company representatives for taxes is an interesting legal institute within Swedish tax law, which originally has its roots in the criminal law. It was initially introduced to prevent the limited company form from being exploited at the expense of the state, by allowing tax liabilities to be accumulated and used as risk capital. The provisions set out in Chapter 59, Pa
This article explores a number-based comparative logic unfolding around a particular kind of meeting in a social work setting: a daily and short gathering referred to as a “pulse meeting”. At such meetings, staff gather around a whiteboard visualizing individual statistics in terms of the number of client meetings performed or assistance decisions made.

This thesis explores the experiences of international and domestic higher education students in the U.S. during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. By using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach the aim of the thesis, in the first place, is concerned with students’ experience during national and global lockdowns with social distancing and isolation and, secondly, with the structural c
This paper examines the effects of key macroeconomic and trade variables on invoicing currency patterns. Departing from common model assumptions of complete local currency pricing or partner country pricing, the existing analytical and empirical literature suggests a range of macroeconomic and strategic determinants of internationally trading actors’ currency usage. Using panel data on trade invoi
This B.A-thesis has its focus on the Roman Iron Age in southern Scandinavia; i.e. Scania and the Danish isles. The main plot line is about the military and political structures during this time; how they worked together and what the archaeological evidence for this is. The material used consists of weapon burials, bog finds and historical sources. Since this material already have been examined and
This study examines how youth leaders in peace projects in Ethiopia develop through their engagement. Based on six weeks of fieldwork across three peace projects in Addis Ababa, Jimma and Hawassa, the study takes a strength-based perspective of the leaders and asks how the peace-project engagement serve developing. Drawing on Honwana's concept of waithood, the study argues that youth leaders i
Our understanding of the present is informed by the past and the future as ideas about where we are right now are shaped by our memories of where we have been and our expectations about where we are going. This paper explores how the understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic was influenced both by experiences from past pandemics and predictions about the present. The paper focuses on the Swedish Publ
Cardiovascular disease is common among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a transient cardiac disorder that, in its typical form, involves left ventricular dysfunction with apical ballooning and mimics acute coronary syndrome (ACS). "Bronchogenic TTS" has been proposed as a specific form of TTS (during severe acute dyspnea in asthma or COPD) witCardiovascular disease is common among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The science of decision making is studied in many areas of science and engineering, for example within, computer science, automatic control theory, mathematics and neurophysiology. The aim of this text is to provide a very brief overview of some of the models and tools used within mathematical decision making. These models can be studied in terms of an agent that observes the world and takes decis
