Quantitative analysis of large-scale political text data in the form of word embeddings has great potential for systematising differences between political parties. We examine the differences between embeddings obtained from speakers from the two competitors for the PM position in Sweden (Social Democrats and Moderates) over a 30-year period. The goal is to compare how off-the-shelf general pre-trQuantitative analysis of large-scale political text data in the form of word embeddings has great potential for systematising differences between political parties.

Background: Osteocalcin is a metabolic active hormone, which correlates positively with bone formation and inversely with body mass index and waist circumference in adults. Objectives: To investigate whether osteocalcin in infancy and early childhood were related to childhood growth or body composition. Methods: A Swedish longitudinal birth cohort with blood samples from 551 children from birth un

Background Uncertainty is present in many situations in dental practice, but must not prevent wise clinical decision-making. Dental education should acknowledge uncertainty and teach useful management strategies. This study explored if dental students are aware of, and comfortable with uncertainty. The aims were to (i) measure students’ comfort or discomfort with and awareness of uncertainty whil

Aim: To audit adherence to the Swedish paediatric guidelines for urinary tract infections (UTIs) in infants. Secondary objectives were to compare findings on imaging performed according to the guidelines with imaging without guideline support and to identify predictors of non-adherence. Methods: A prospective multicentre study of infants <1 year treated at paediatric hospitals for their first UTI.

Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) play a vital role in AEM water electrolysis (AEMWE), a promising technology for hydrogen production. However, it remains challenging to develop AEMs that simultaneously achieve high OH− conductivity, robust alkaline stability, and sustained operational performance in AEMWE. In the present study, we report on a class of high-performance, readily synthesized AEMs base

I mitt arbete som nybliven doktorand på Musikhögskolan i Malmö avser jag fördjupa kunskapsbilden kring folkmusikens gehörsmetod, hur den vuxit fram och etablerats och hur den används idag, framför allt inom ramen för den svenska kulturskolan.I mötet mellan folkmusikens och kulturskolans respektive pedagogiska traditioner synliggörs flera spänningar som har betydelse för bl.a. inkludering, tillgäng

Politics interferes with sport, whether we like it or not, not least in foreign policy. Despite this, the history of Swedish sport's foreign policy is largely unwritten. Is there a common thread in how the sports movement has related to nations that for one reason or another are perceived as controversial or reprehensible? What criteria does the sports movement use to decide who should and should

The article analyzes how central and eastern European members of the EU relate to the main nodes of the EU’s politics of memory, such as the first and second world wars, the Holocaust as Europe’s negative founding myth, Soviet Communism being equally as criminal as the Nazi regime, expulsions as a pan-European trauma, the legacy of colonialism, Europe as a continent of immigration, and Europe’s po

This paper explores the shift in family influence on socio-economic outcomes, focusing on sibling relationships, from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries in the Barcelona area. Our findings reveal a diminishing role of vertical ties (parents–children) and an increasing significance of horizontal ties (between siblings). Specifically, brothers who were first in the sibling group to marry exer

BACKGROUND: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common and potentially fatal medical emergency. This study aimed to investigate the frequency, causes, outcomes, and efficacy of endoscopy in the treatment of UGIB at King Fahad Central Hospital in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.METHODS: Between January 2017 and December 2023, a retrospective study was performed including all hospitalized patients with

Polens ambitioner inför det kommande EU-ordförandeskapet är stora

For a project to be delivered on-time and to an agreed cost in accordance with the specification, it is important to have an appropriate purchasing strategy. A project succeeds due to many factors, one of which is cost alongside timely delivery and quality. Formal purchasing strategies for different purchasing categories are common in the manufacturing industry, but less so in a project-based indu

This study explores the use of isothermal calorimetry to assess heat release during the initial phases of dredged sediment stabilization with the primary goal of predicting the 28 days unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and enhancing the stabilization process' quality control (QC). The study was performed on dredged sediment (DS) samples collected from Göta river, Gothenburg, Sweden. The water

Recently, the incentive structure facing doctoral students and researchers in economics has changed significantly in many European countries as a result of the adoption of the US approach to evaluating research output. This poses a threat to the development and position of the subject of economics in Europe since evaluation for promotion is characterised by an excessive focus on publishing in the
