This study investigates the level of engagement among female politicians in Örebro Municipal Council, with a particular focus on their commitment to climate policy compared to their male counterparts. The purpose of the study is to explore whether women generally exhibit greater dedication to climate issues. To address the research questions, a combination of interviews and quantitative content an
Denna studie undersöker människors prioritering mellan värdena frihet och säkerhet kvantitativt utifrån SOM-institutets enkätundersökning 2022. Säkerhet är enligt postmaterialistisk teori ett materialistiskt värde som prioriteras högre i tider av osäkerhet. Hypotesen är formulerad utifrån teorin och lyder: människor som anser att utvecklingen i Sverige går åt fel håll borde prioritera säkerhet öve
Carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndromes (CDG) are inherited multisystem disorders characterized by the abnormal glycosylation of a number of serum glycoproteins. CDG-Ia results from deficiency of phosphomannomutase that catalyzes the conversion of mannose-6-phosphate to mannose-1-phosphate in the cytosol. We report a case of CDG-Ia in an 11-month-old girl with developmental delay, failure to
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders and affects over 65 million people worldwide. Despite the continuing advances in anti-epileptic treatments, one third of the epilepsy patients live with drug resistant seizures. Besides, the mortality rate among epileptic patients is 2 - 3 times higher than in the matching group of the general population. Wearable devices offer a promising
We present the first large-scale study that demonstrates how ages can be determined for large samples of stars through Galactic chemical evolution. Previous studies found that the elemental abundances of a star correlate directly with its age and metallicity. Using this knowledge, we derive ages for 214 577 stars in GALAH DR3 using only overall metallicities and chemical abundances. Stellar ages a
Mammalian metabolism comprises a series of interlinking pathways that include two major cycles: the folate and methionine cycles. The folate-mediated metabolic cycle uses several oxidation states of tetrahydrofolate to carry activated one-carbon units to be readily used and interconverted within the cell, which are required for nucleotide synthesis, methylation and metabolism, particularly for pro
This chapter explores the role of assessment in global citizenship education (GCE). We will consider what can be assessed, and how teachers can design and manage appropriate assignment tasks in relation to normative assessment practices. The ways in which assessment might inform curriculum, behaviours, and engagement with GCE are considered in relation to institutional practices. The role of the a
This paper reports on a one-to-one relation between articulation and acoustics. It explains how segment boundaries are a result of rapid movements of the articulators. In the acceleration profile, this is identified as peak acceleration, which can be measured. A previous study found that rapid movements of an active articulator - peak acceleration - correlate with the acoustic segment boundary in
In the concluding chapter, we outline the major findings from the eleven book chapters by connecting them to one another. We come back to the triadic delegation and accountability relationship between candidates, voters and parties that were developed based on principal–agent theory, and emphasise the most relevant findings of this book that inform this triad. The chapter also takes a critical sta
We present the widespread Ewald summation method in a new light by utilizing a truncated Gaussian screening charge distribution. This choice entails an exact formalism, also as particle mesh Ewald, which in practice is not always the case when using a Gaussian screening function. The presented approach reduces the number of dependent parameters compared to a Gaussian and, for an infinite reciproca
Group A Streptococcus is a common pathogen that elicits a protective humoral response against the cell wall component GlcNAc. In this issue of Immunity, New et al. demonstrate the ability of long-lived B-1 cells to be programmed by microbial colonization and early life immunization to uniquely incorporate GlcNAc reactivity in mice, establishing their critical role in mediating neonatal immune impr
