The aim of this study is to understand whether globalization has any effects on modern democracy and if so to see whether it can be replaced by something else – something larger than democracy within the nation-state. The aim was also to find out whether a cosmopolitan democracy is possible among nation-states with the help of cosmopolitan theory. In order to receive this information the author ha

Medierna spelar en viktig roll i hur vi formar våra värderingar och uppfattningar om omvärlden. Mediernas sätt att framställa ett fenomen är i hög grad avgörande för vårt sätt att förstå det. Främlingsfientlighet och rasism är ämnen som har fått stor betydelse på senare tid då extremhögern har varit på frammarsch runt om i Europa. Det är därför viktigt att studera vilken roll medierna har i detta

Denna studie handlar om ett möte mellan Reggio Emilias filosofi och Rytmik. Följande frågor behandlas: Vad händer med barns lärande i mötet mellan Reggio Emilias pedagogiska filosofi och Rytmik? På vilket sätt påverkar förskolans förutsättningar lärandet? På vilket sätt utforskar barnen musik? Vad lär sig barnen? Studien, som genomförts med aktionsforskning, har gjorts på en förskola i en barngrupTitle: A meeting between the Reggio Emilia pedagogical philosophy and Eurhythmics. This study is about a meeting between the Reggio Emilia philosophy and Eurhythmics. The following questions are addressed: What happens to children's learning in the meeting between the Reggio Emilia philosophy and Eurhythmics? How do preconditions affect learning? How do children explore music? What do they lea

Författare: Anders Wiklander Titel: Självbildens resa genom kriminalvården Kandidatuppsats: SOCK01, 15 hp Internet Handledare: Åke Nilsén Sociologiska institutionen, Vårterminen 2013 Problem/Bakgrund: När en blivande kriminalvårdsklient för första gången kommer till en kriminalvårdsanstalt, ställs han inför något som på många sätt kan betecknas som en annan värld. Mycket av den sociala bas som ska

Purpose: Examine the association between circulating lipids and breast cancer outcomes in patients enrolled in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS). Patients and methods: Circulating lipid levels were measured in blood sampled upon enrollment in the female MDCS cohort (N = 17,035). We identified all MDCS participants with incident invasive breast cancer diagnosed between 1991 and 2014. Follow-up

There is emerging evidence of an association between epigenetic modifications, glycemic control and atherosclerosis risk. In this study, we mapped genome-wide epigenetic changes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and advanced atherosclerotic disease. We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) using a histone 3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9ac) mark in peripheral blood mononuc

Aim: The Cockcroft-Gault (CG) creatinine-based equation is still used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for drug dosage adjustment. Incorrect eGFR may lead to hazardous over- or underdosing. Methods: In a cross-sectional analysis, CG was validated against measured GFR (mGFR) in 14 804 participants and compared with the Modification-of-Diet-in-Renal-Diseases (MDRD), Chronic-Kidney-Disea

We present the idea and illustrate potential benefits of having a tool chain of closely related regular, unscreened and screened hybrid exchange–correlation (XC) functionals, all within the consistent formulation of the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) method (Hyldgaard et al (2020 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 32 393001)). Use of this chain of nonempirical XC functionals allows us to map wheWe present the idea and illustrate potential benefits of having a tool chain of closely related regular, unscreened and screened hybrid exchange–correlation (XC) functionals, all within the consistent formulation of the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) method (Hyldgaard et al (2020 J.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to monitor blood perfusion in human upper eyelid skin flaps and examine how the perfusion is affected by the thickness of the flap.METHODS: Twenty upper eyelids were dissected as part of a blepharoplasty procedure in patients. The medial end of the blepharoplasty flap remained attached to mimic a flap design often used in reconstruction in the periocular area,

OBJECTIVE: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a vasculitis of unknown aetiology with a high risk of coronary aneurysms if untreated. Timely treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin decreases the risk for coronary artery aneurysms (CAA). In this study, we set out to elucidate the factors associated with the risk of developing CAA. METHODS: Records of all KD-diagnosed children in Skåne between 2004 and 2014

Background Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) plasma levels are associated with increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objectives This study aimed to determine the thrombotic risk of rare and common variants of 27 genes linked to VWF or FVIII plasma levels in genome-wide association studies. Methods Exon sequences of 27 genes linked to plasma levels of VWF or

Background. The estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is one tool to detect renal disease. The most used biomarker remains serum creatinine and the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFCcrea ) equation is the most validated in Europe. More recently, cystatin C has been proposed as a biomarker. We studied the performances of the EKFC equations in a large cohort of subjects according to

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility of AI-assisted reading of prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Organized Prostate cancer Testing (OPT). Methods: Retrospective cohort study including 57 men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels ≥3 µg/L that performed bi-parametric MRI in OPT. The results of a CE-marked deep learning (DL) algorithm for prostate MRI lesion detection wer

The Arctic-Boreal region is projected to experience spatially divergent trends in snow depth following climate change. However, the impact of these spatial trends has remained largely unexplored, despite potentially large consequences for the carbon cycle. To address this knowledge gap, we forced a customised arctic version of the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS with daily CMIP6 outputs from a

On-chip optical communication between individual nano optoelectronic components is important to reduce the footprint and improve energy efficiency of photonic neuromorphic solutions. Although nanoscale photon emitters and receivers have been reported separately, communication between them remains largely unexplored. We demonstrate direct on-chip directional broadcasting of light between individual
