The Amit conjecture about word maps on finite nilpotent groups has been shown to hold for certain classes of groups. The generalised Amit conjecture says that the probability of an element occurring in the image of a word map on a finite nilpotent group G is either 0, or at least 1/|G|. Noting the work of Ashurst, we name the generalised Amit conjecture the Amit–Ashurst conjecture and show that th
Background: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by the placenta and plays an essential role in the maintenance of pregnancy. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have the potential to interfere with functions related to the production and secretion of hCG; however associations between exposure to EDCs and hCG concentrations in humans remain to be elucidated. Objectives: To investigate
The solubilisation capacities of the micelles formed by a range of surfactants possessing a dodecyl (C12) hydrocarbon ‘tail’ and a variety of hydrophilic ‘headgroups’ have been studied for a range of hydrophobic steroids (testosterone (T) and its propionate (TP) and enanthate (TE) esters). The solubilisation studies were performed at ambient temperature, with drug concentration monitored (over 48–
What is done in the act of public intelligence disclosures? Leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, US intelligence agencies engaged in an unprecedented amount of public disclosures, causing scholars and journalists to describe it as a tectonic shift in intelligence practice. Going beyond the traditional question of strategic aims related to intelligence disclosures, this article ta
What are the political implications of seeing the human mind as a key source of insecurity? The idea that the cognitive realm represents a ‘new domain of war’ is an emerging concern among Western security professionals which can be read against a background of advancements in the neurosciences, the introduction of psychographic targeting and a preoccupation with online disinformation. Drawing on m
In recent years, trust has emerged as a topic of interest for scholars aiming to understand the mechanisms enabling transnational intelligence cooperation and focusing on relations of trust between intelligence agencies. The potential dynamics between the trust facilitating transnational intelligence cooperation and the public trust in intelligence agencies on a national level however remains unex
Authorship is important for career progression but it also implies responsibility for the integrity of work undertaken. There are variousguidelines for authorship, but with no clear definition and with tacitly agreed standards which vary between disciplines, it can be amatter of interpretation and negotiation who will be listed as an author. It is often not clear what contribution each person has
The significance of writing for PhD students, particularly at faculties of Humanities, cannot be overemphasized; the written manuscript is the final product to be publicly discussed by external examiners. This article takes as its starting point a “quick & dirty” study of a student-initiated writing group at a humanities department (HD) and the assumption that thesis supervisors nowadays need
Klimatförändringar, pandemier och skolskjutningar är alla exempel på samhällskriser som aktualiserar frågan om hur skolans personal arbetar i krissituationer. Vilken beredskap har skolan att hantera samhällskriser? Vilka kompetenser behöver skolans personal? Vad innebär det att vara en krisaktör?I boken beskrivs olika typer av samhällskriser, deras faser, orsaker och karaktäristika. Författarna ar
