Carl Johan Schlyter was the first modern Swedish legal historian and served as a professor of legal history at Lund University from 1840 to 1876. Schlyter introduced Savigny’s historical school to Sweden, but his great scholarly contribution was his edition of the Swedish medieval laws, published in thirteen volumes from 1827 to 1877. He was also a deeply religious Christian. Schlyter and his teac

An important part of Sweden’s first freedom of religion act, passed in 1951, was citizens’ right not to practice a religion. The post-World War II generations lived in an increasingly secularized paradigm. In this context, Göran Göransson was a very knowledgeable and influential jurist who not only practiced ecclesiastical law within the Swedish church but also served as a departmental jurist acti

This study considers detection of polyproline type II secondary structures from protein sequences. This difficult problem was handled with multilayer perceptron neural networks, which were found to be useful for such bioinformatics studies. Polyproline II secondary structures have not previously been tried to be predicted from sequences.

A Cochrane metaanalysis and a study performed on children have recently confirmed that therapeutic hypothermia does not improve outcome after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is not comparable to a short episode of global ischemia, where therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve outcome. The difference may be explained by the fact that hypothermia-induced stress after a traumatic b

Background: Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), a complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), is linked to cerebral vasospasm and associated with poor long-term outcome. We implemented a structured cerebral microdialysis (CMD) based protocol using the lactate/pyruvate ratio (LPR) as an indicator of the cerebral energy metabolic status in the neurocritical care decision making, using an LPR ≥ 30 as

The main objective of this work is the application of variational concepts to microscopic multiple particle systems (MPS) which are assigned to corresponding points of a macroscopic continuum. Due to this underlying micro-structure it is not sufficient to simulate the macroscopic behavior with pre-assumed (overall) material parameters, or rather constitutive-law-based standard methods. Therefore,

This paper introduces a logic to reason about a well-known model of opinion dynamics in socialnetworks initially developed by Morris DeGroot as well as Keith Lehrer and Carl Wagner. The proposed logic is an extension of Lukasiewicz' famous fuzzy logic with additional equational expressivity, modal operators, machinery from hybrid logic, and dynamic modalities. The model of opinion dynamics in soci

The prospect of death influences people’s thoughts about and how they deal with their remaining time. We aimed to understand whether patients with progressive, life-limiting diseases are oriented in the past, present, or future and how they deal with temporality. We conducted 57 in-depth interviews with end-of-life patients in 10 countries using thematic analysis at three levels (i.e., locally in

Over the last few years, we have witnessed a surge in protest movements around the world. As planet Earth shows its vulnerability and a global pandemic has fundamentally recalibrated the textures of our individual and collective lives, a shared concern for survival triggers individuals and groups to contest the status quo and to call for alternative solutions to the pressing issues of our time.
