We study the electronic structure of bulk 1T-TaSe_{2} in the charge-density wave phase at low temperature. Our spatially and angle-resolved photoemission data show insulating areas coexisting with metallic regions characterized by a chiral Fermi surface and moderately correlated quasiparticle bands. Additionally, high-resolution laser angle-resolved photoemission reveals variations in the metallic
This paper takes its point of departure in the planned, but later stopped, memorial over the Utöya massacre in Norway. The suggested memorial called Memory Wound was designed by Swedish artist Jonas Dahlberg and would in reality become two memorials, one at Utöya and one in Olso. Examining the debate that eventually led to the cancellation of the planned memorial project, the paper raises question
Histone chaperones control nucleosome density and chromatin structure. In yeast, the H3-H4 chaperone Spt2 controls histone deposition at active genes but its roles in metazoan chromatin structure and organismal physiology are not known. Here we identify the Caenorhabditis elegans ortholog of SPT2 (CeSPT-2) and show that its ability to bind histones H3-H4 is important for germline development and t
After DNA replication, chromosomal processes including DNA repair and transcription take place in the context of sister chromatids. While cell cycle regulation can guide these processes globally, mechanisms to distinguish pre- and post-replicative states locally remain unknown. Here we reveal that new histones incorporated during DNA replication provide a signature of postreplicative chromatin, re
A numerical scheme is presented for solving the Helmholtz equation with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on piecewise smooth open curves, where the curves may have corners and multiple junctions. Existing integral equation methods for smooth open curves rely on analyzing the exact singularities of the density at endpoints for associated integral operators, explicitly extracting these singu
The Human Right to Science is about the “human right to benefit from progress in science and its applications,” also known more succinctly as the “right to science.” Although the right to science is one of the oldest internationally recognized human rights, it has suffered too long from neglect. International organizations and States pay little attention to it. There are only a few inadequate indi
Tattoo ink on the European market has been reported to contain many human toxicants, which has raised concerns about health effects. Clarifying the exposure distribution in the population is key to understanding potential public health implications. We investigated the prevalence of tattoos in a population-based Swedish cohort of 13 046 individuals aged 20–68 years with exposure data collected thr
Fine-grained windblown deposits (loess) in which fossil soils (palaeosols) are preserved are excellent records of past climate. However, so far paleoclimate reconstruction studies conducted on such loess-palaeosol sequences (LPS) in SE Europe were focused on the climate changes of the last one or two glacial-interglacial cycles, while almost no attention has been directed to the climate of the cur
Förlossningen är en omvälvande och minnesvärd livshändelse. Den nyblivna mammans fokus ligger på det nyfödda barnet, likaså vårdpersonalens. En förlossning kan leda till allvarliga skador på bäckenbotten (pelvic floor, PF), ibland med komplikationer som inkontinens. Tyvärr förbises eller tonas dessa skador ofta ned – både av nyblivna mödrar och vårdgivare. I Sverige drabbas ungefär 1–4% av kvinnorGiving birth is a profound life event. Most of the time, mothers move their attention to their newborn, as do healthcare providers. Childbirth can cause severe pelvic floor (PF) injuries, potentially leading to complications, such as incontinence. Despite their impact, these injuries are often deprioritised or normalised—both by postpartum women and healthcare providers. In Sweden, 1–4% of women w
Flat bands can induce strong electron correlation effects that help stabilize both magnetic and superconducting states. Here, we carry out angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations to study the electronic structure of the Co-pnictides CaCo2As2 and LaCo2P2. We find that the kz Fermi topology of ferromagnetic LaCo2P2 is markedly two-dimensional, while the a
Avian malaria parasites pose a significant threat to conservation, affecting populations worldwide. Despite this, our understanding of factors influencing the transmission of avian Plasmodium parasites by vectors is limited to the study of mosquito immune responses. However, the complex life cycle of Plasmodium within the vector suggests that non-immune physiological and metabolic pathways may pla
The particle-rotor model using strong coupling basis functions is briefly reviewed. Recent developments are discussed. For example, a formalism for odd-odd nuclei (and negative parity states in even nuclei) is presented. With a standard neutron-proton interaction, measured spins and moments of transitional and deformed Ho nuclei are used to extract their main configurations. Total energy calculati
A surge in societal and scientific discussion surrounds psychedelic research. One surprising fact keeps standing out: Many users report the psychedelic experience as a positive and lasting impact on their quality of life. The present study aimed to explore the quality and consequences of the most impacting psychedelic experience, with the user's Big Five personality in focus. This experienced samp
Based on an ethnographic research among contemporary Pagan communities in Southern Italy (Salento, Apulia), The Spider Dance challenges ideas of historicity, healing, place-making and the experience of time among persons engaged in reviving, continuing, or re-creating traditional Pagan practices. The Spider Dance looks at a specific Pagan group, the sisters of the cerchio (circle), and their ritua
This article is concerned with the tenure track (TT) model, which has become increasingly used to extend the period of early career academics’ probation from one to five years across the EU. This article focuses on the TT in Trinity College Dublin (TCD), the oldest and most prestigious university in Ireland, one where gender equality has been embedded more consistently and where the pace of change
This open access edited volume discusses the impact of digitalization on taxation, using the Swedish welfare state model as a lens through which to examine the disruptive effect of new technologies on traditional tax models. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, it integrates perspectives from economics, law, audit, and public policy to shed light on contemporary challenges in taxation. With Sweden
Throughout the last decades, the social responsibility of corporations has undergone significant changes. From revolving around self-regulation, voluntariness, and soft law, the regulatory landscape has expanded to involve harder demands on corporations, such as mandatory sustainability due diligence. This thesis considers these changes as a hardening of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and
Early kidney function decline may be associated with reduced filtration of middle-sized molecules, currently defined as selective glomerular hypofiltration syndrome (SGHS), and driven by the accumulation of atherosclerosis-promoting proteins. We aimed to investigate whether SGHS and other markers of kidney function are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis as evaluated by intima-media thickn
PurposeWelfare technology (WT) intends to promote engagement in everyday activities and the well-being of older adults at risk of developing or already having impairments. However, its effectiveness depends on how older adults experience and interact with WT. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between various forms of WT user experience (perceived usability, perceived control,
