This article sets out to study the ways in which reactions and adaptations to modernity and societal change among non-elite communities in late nineteenth-century Sweden are visible in contemporary attitudes to social deviants and nonconformists. In Swedish provincial cultures, narratives about local characters in the oral tradition played a significant part in regional identity formation in the n
Evolutionen som livboj för en krympande slända Många organismer påverkas negativt av mänsklig miljöpåverkan, och riskerar att dö ut. Evolutionära processer kan dock fungera som en livboj och bromsa den negativa utvecklingen från miljöförändringar. Global uppvärmning driver en insektsart till en mindre kroppsstorlek. Men när naturlig selektion istället verkar för en stor kroppsstorlek kommer de ne
This thesis investigates particle sorting in deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) microfluidic devices, with a focus on how particle size and shape influence sorting behavior. A broad range of synthetic and biological particles were studied, including polystyrene particles, fabricated silicon-based structures, and bacterial samples with diverse physical properties.While DLD has traditionally b
Background: Sedation is routinely administered to critically ill patients to alleviate anxiety, discomfort, and patient-ventilator asynchrony. However, it must be balanced against risks such as delirium and prolonged intensive care stays. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different levels of sedation in critically ill adults. Methods: Systematic review with meta-analysis and trial seq
Selective depletion of nerve growth factor receptor-bearing neurons in the basal forebrain cholinergic system nuclei by the immunotoxin 192 IgG-saporin offers a new and highly useful tool for the study of the role of the forebrain cholinergic system in cognitive functions. In the present study, we have tested the effects of 192 IpG-saporin in an operant delayed matching-to-position task which has
Plastics have become ubiquitous in modern society. It is a group of materials that is versatile and useful in many types of applications and have thus become extremely popular. Plastics are thus important for many industries and value chains as well as for everyday practices of most individuals – and should thus be also for investors and financial actors. A transition to sustainable plastics will
Tactile feedback plays a vital role in inducing ownership and improving motor control of prosthetic hands. However, commercially available prosthetic hands typically do not provide tactile feedback and because of that the prosthetic user must rely on visual input to adjust the grip. The classical rubber hand illusion (RHI) where a brush is stroking the rubber hand, and the user's hidden hand synch
Silicon (Si) phases such as biogenic silica, lithogenic silicate and authigenic silica/silicate in marine sediments provide valuable information about past Si cycling. Wet-chemical sequential leaching methods are often applied to extract different Si phases from marine sediments to study Si diagenetic processes in shallow subsurface. The potential of this method to separate Si phases from deeply-b

BackgroundEducation is expected to bring about positive behavioral changes which could lead to improved health behaviors. Parental education is a primary determinant of child health and development. However, some evidence showed inverse associations between high parental education and recommended infant and young child feeding (IYCF) in Bangladesh. How the association of parental education differs
Climatic conditions affect animals but range-wide impacts at the population level remain largely unknown, especially in migratory species. However, studying climate–population relationships is still challenging in small migrants due to a lack of efficient and cost-effective geographic tracking method. Spatial distribution patterns of environmental stable isotopes (so called ‘isoscapes’) generally
Rationale: According to the Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), the FEV1/FVC ratio is used to confirm the presence of airflow obstruction in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), whereas FEV1 percent predicted normal value (FEV1%pred) is used for grading its severity. The STaging of Airflow obstruction by the FEV1/FVC Ratio (STAR), and its prediction of
