Some political parties employ clientelist practices to gain voter support. Yet as more citizens now vote from abroad, little is known about parties engaging in clientelism domestically versus transnationally. We propose parties adopt either a replication or differentiation approach, meaning they apply similar or different campaigning strategies abroad. Using a large-N sample of voter turnout in So
The production of neuroepithelial stem (NES) cells, a promising therapeutic candidate for neurological conditions such as stroke and spinal cord injuries, faces significant manufacturing challenges, particularly in quality control (QC). Specifically, current QC methods rely on labor-intensive manual assessments that are costly, time-consuming, and subject to operator bias, limiting scalability and
Spectrum arguments are purported to show that the betterness relation is not a transitive relation. This is a drastic conclusion since much normative theorizing and everyday reasoning assume that betterness is transitive. In order to avoid this conclusion, many reject a plausible view on trade-offs between quality and quantity. The rejection can take the form of a radical or a conservative rejecti
Ett radioaktivt nedfall efter ett kärnkraftshaveri kan resultera i kontamination av stora landområden. I syfte att skydda människors hälsa mot joniserande strålning kan storskalig sanering vara nödvändig. Sverige saknar nationell erfarenhet av denna typ av storskalig sanering. Det finns därmed stora osäkerheter i verkan av en sådan sanering som bl.a. är beroende av de enskilda saneringsåtgärdernas
This article presents a search for a heavy charged Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark and a bottom quark, and decaying into a W boson and a 125 GeV Higgs boson h. The search is performed in final states with one charged lepton, missing transverse momentum, and jets using proton-proton collision data at s = 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the LHC at CERN. T
Objectives Structural valve deterioration is an inherent limitation of bioprosthetic valves; however, the time it takes to develop varies depending on the valve model. The Sorin Soprano aortic bioprosthetic valve (Sorin Group/LivaNova, Milan, Italy) lacks reported long-term results. This study aims to establish the long-term durability of this bioprosthetic valve in a nationwide cohort. Methods Al
Objectives Critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are at an increased risk of acquiring bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI). We aimed to describe patient characteristics, risk factors, and the microbiological spectrum in blood cultures and evaluate the impact of ICU-acquired BSI on outcomes in a Nordic setting. Methods A prospective multicenter cohort study w
Denna uppsats behandlar diskrimineringsrättens förbud mot bristande tillgänglighet i arbetslivet och analyserar hur långt arbetsgivarens skyldighet att vidta anpassningsåtgärder för arbetstagare med funktionsnedsättning sträcker sig. Med utgångspunkt i en rättsdogmatisk metod undersöks gällande rätt genom analys av svensk diskrimineringslagstiftning, EU-rätt, internationella åtaganden enligt FN:s This thesis examines the prohibition of lack of accessibility under discrimination law in working life and analyses the extent of employers’ obligations to implement reasonable accommodation measures for employees with disabilities. Using a legal dogmatic method, the study analyses current law through Swedish discrimination legislation, EU law, international obligations under the UN Convention on
The old duality that eventually came to produce the mind/body-problem indicates the problem of transcendental subjectivity. The enduring significance of this problem shows itself in a provocation of any paradigm that has become too objectivistic, too naturalistic – even too idealistic in a certain sense – and too forgetful of its own departure from a perspective always presumed. Analytic philosoph
Background In patients with stage III cutaneous melanoma, adjuvant treatments with PD-1 and BRAF+MEK inhibitors were approved based on improved recurrence-free survival. However, as the treatments have significant side effects and costs, the effect on overall survival remains a matter of great importance. Methods Clinical and histopathological parameters were obtained from the Swedish Melanoma Reg
With organic solar cells surpassing 20% efficiency, the focus is shifting toward understanding the more complex mechanisms in ternary blends. This work investigates the distinct working principles of ternary organic solar cells based on a polymer donor (D) and a nonfullerene acceptor (NFA), with a fullerene acceptor (FA) as the third component. A systematic comparison between ternary D:NFA:FA syst
In Scandinavian crime fiction, an implicit dynamics is noticeablebetween the adjacent worlds: Scandinavia and ‘Eastern Europe’.The author of the article approaches their relation using the twointerrelated concepts of border and boundary (Casey, 2011). Whileborders are fixed and established by conventional agreements,boundaries are natural, perforated, and undermine the impenetra-bility of the bord
The emigration of three thousand Polish-Jewish citizens to Denmark following the events of March 1968 in Poland has only recently attracted the attention of filmmakers and writers in Denmark. Two documentary films and a novel, created within a relatively short period of time, address this topic: Jacob Kofler’s Statsløs (Stateless, 2004), Jacob Dammas’ Kredens (Dresser, 2007), and Maja Magdalena Sw
When designing novel technology, many of the important design decisions tend to be taken early in the process, which is also when it is usually easier to modify the design. Thus, it is important to learn as much as possible, as early as possible in any design process. This work is carried out within the EU project ABILITY, which aims at developing novel refreshable tactile displays. Previously, we
In the article, I argue that by means of qualities intrinsic to the medium of the photobook, the renowned Danish photographer Krass Clement (b. 1946) constructs a complex narration, which, on the one hand, seeksmeta-refl ection on the relationships between photography, memory, and the perception of reality, and, on the other, explores the post-GDR condition of Berlin and Germany. Venten på i går.
The article offers a discussion of Sofi Oksanen’s novelPurge, focusing on the book’s strategy of evoking stereotypicalnarratives about Eastern Europe, such as the (postcommunist) fallenwoman and (Russian) return home narratives, as well as relatedintertexts, primarily Lukas Moodysson’s film Lilya 4-ever. I argue thatOksanen constructs the plot around clichés in order to challenge them ina subversi
