Water is the matrix of life, and its confinement in nanocavities is a central topic from geophysics to nanotribology. Phyllosilicate layered minerals provide natural nanocavities for water due to their capacity to hydrate by confining water molecules in the interlamellar space. However, the hydration of phyllosilicates at the nanoscale is not a fully understood process and depends on the geologica
In this essay I argue that with too few alternative approaches, the strong feminist epistemological habit of attending to the political utility of art risks placing representations of subjective narratives whose emancipatory qualities might be unclear or doubtful out of scholarly reach. Feminist art historian Irit Rogoff discusses how feminist art historians are inclined to acknowledge visual repr
In Sweden, approximately 1,200 individuals die by suicide annually. Inpatient suicide is considered rare, but death by suicide still occurs when admitted to a psychiatric hospital. This study was part of a national retrospective project covering data from all patients' medical records for the 2 years before death by suicide in 2015. In this study, 41 patients who died by suicide while being admitt
This volume celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). In so doing, it offers a comprehensive and systematic treatment of the rights and duties contained in the UDHR, in the light of its history, the intentions of its drafters ant the standard-setting activities and monitoring efforts which have grown out of its existence. Each article of the UDHR is treat
This proposal addresses the profile area: Art, Technology, Materiality, by focusing on discussions of the nature of the materiality of artistic practice and its implications. The proposal considers the interplay between making and thinking, encompassing both the human and the non-human, resulting in co-constructed knowledge and meaning through performative and textile practices. This performative
Importance: Blood phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) are promising peripheral biomarkers of Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology. However, their potential alterations due to alternative mechanisms, such as hypoxia in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest, are not known. Objective: To evaluate whether the levels and trajectories of blood p-tau, Aβ42, and Aβ40 following cardiac a
Downstream processing in the manufacturing biopharmaceutical industry is a multistep process separating the desired product from process- and product-related impurities. However, removing product-related impurities, such as product variants, without compromising the product yield or prolonging the process time due to extensive quality control analytics, remains a major challenge. Here, we show how
Geospatial information is indispensable for various types of spatially informed analysis and decision-making, such as traffic analyses, and natural resource management. In addition, geospatial information is one of the most powerful information integrators to bridge diverse sources of information. Such natures of geospatial information entail the need of geospatial data integration and geospatial
Degrowth thought and strategies suffer from a tension between viewing the state as incapable of initiating transformational change and making a political appeal to it to do precisely this via targeted eco-social policies. While a small number of academic papers has theoretically addressed this tension, there is a lack in research on the strategic implications arising from conceptualizations of the
Polyclonal protein HC-IgA complexes (HC-IgA) were isolated from two different serum pools. Their hydrodynamic volumes were found to be slightly greater than that of monomeric IgA but less than that of dimeric IgA. Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of reduced and carboxymethylated complexes followed by immunoblotting showed that the complexes contained normal light an
The present dissertation concerns how brain tissue properties reflect proficiency in two aspects of language use: the ability to use tonal cues on word stems to predict how words will end and the aptitude for learning foreign languages. While it is known that people differ in their language abilities and that damage to brain tissue cause loss of cognitive functions, it is largely unknown if differ
Trees have the potential to improve urban air quality as leaves and needles capture air pollutants from the air, but further empirical data has been requested to quantify these effects. We measured the concentration of 32 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in leaves of pin oak (Quercus palustris) and needles of black pine (Pinus nigra) in the City of Gothenburg, Sweden, during the summer of 2
