As an historian studying the Swedish migration to America, I often come across the notion that the Swedish sources on the subject are excellent and that we who studies swedish migration are fortunate because of this. It is generally thought that 1.2 million swedes emigrated to America and that about 200.000 people returned to Sweden, but is this true? In my ongoing study of the return migration
With the growth of mobile computing, users will have simultaneous access to multiple networks, each with different characteristics, services and costs. This paper introduces TOMTEN (TOtal Management Of Transmissions for the ENd-user), a framework for managing resources in this environment. TOMTEN is a reactive framework that is only active when either the application is started up or the user indi
During the last decades, there has been continuous development of nationwide quality registries to assess healthcare and to do research in Sweden. An important background motive is the demographic transition resulting from an increasingly ageing population as one of the most important challenges of our time and a growing concern in many European countries and elsewhere. One condition for meeting t
Migrating birds perform extreme endurance exercise when fly-ing. This shifts the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the antioxidant defense system toward the former, potentially generating oxidative damages. In between migratory flights, birds make stopovers, where besides accumulat-ing fuel (mainly fats), they are assumed to rest and recover from the strenuous flight. W
Today, it is becoming increasingly common for companies to harness the spirit of play in order to increase worker engagement and improve organizational performance. This paper examines the ethics of play in a business context, focusing specifically on the phenomenon of workplace gamification. While critics highlight ethical problems with gamification, they also advocate for more positive, transfor
Background: Antibody-mediated complement fixation has previously been associated with protection against malaria in naturally acquired immunity. However, the process of early-life development of complement-fixing antibodies in infants, both in comparison to their respective mothers and to other immune parameters, remains less clear. Results: We measured complement-fixing antibodies in newborns and
Mathematical models of cancer and bacterial evolution have generally stemmed from a gene-centric framework, assuming clonal evolution via acquisition of resistance-conferring mutations and selection of their corresponding subpopulations. More recently, the role of phenotypic plasticity has been recognized and models accounting for phenotypic switching between discrete cell states (e.g., epithelial
We propose a pebble-driven core accretion scenario to explain the formation of giant planets around the late-M dwarfs of M∗=0.1-0.2 M⊙. In order to explore the optimal disk conditions for giant planet, we performed N-body simulations to investigate the growth and dynamical evolution of both single and multiple protoplanets in the disks with both inner viscously heated and outer stellar irradiated
This thesis examines how the Italian party Fratelli d’Italia (FDI), generally regarded as a radical right-wing populist party, carries out its foreign policy while in government. The aim is to assess whether FDI´s foreign policy aligns the typical features of radical right populism or whether it instead shows signs of other types of populism, such as regionalist, market liberal or left-wing populi
När domstolar ska tolka ett avtal och ett tolkningsalternativ inte kan väljas utifrån subjektiv- och objektiv tolkning finns det generella tolkningsregler el-ler prioritetsregler att tillämpa för att fastställa avtalsinnehållet. Huvudsakli-gen finns det två sådana som kan tillämpas, oklarhetsregeln och minimumre-geln. Oklarhetsregeln innebär att avtalet tolkas mot den som bär ansvaret för oklarhetWhen courts fail to choose an appropriate interpretation of a contract based on subjective and objective methods of interpretation, there are general rules of interpretation or priority which can be applied to determine a satisfactory meaning of the contract. Essentially, there are two such rules available. Ac-cording to the contra proferentem rule, the contract or clause is to be inter-preted aga
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Sverige kom att få fri abort genom att redogöra för argumentationen som fördes under riksdagsdebatten år 1974 gällande införandet av den nya abortlagen. Det görs genom rättshistorisk metod och materialet som har använts är främst riksdagsprotokollen från debatten. För att sätta in riksdagsdebatten i sitt sammanhang berör uppsatsen även kort en överblick The purpose of this essay is to investigate how Sweden got free abortion by examining the arguments made during the parliamentary debate in 1974, which concerned the legislation of free abortion. This is done using a legal historical method and the material that has been used consists mainly of the protocols from the debate. To put the debate in its context the thesis also gives an overview over
Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur grammatikundervisningen i kursen Svenska 2 kan se ut. Genom en semistrukturerad intervju studeras sex verksamma svensklärares beskrivning av sitt grammatikinnehåll och sitt resonemang kring innehållsurvalet. Resultatet visar att det finns en samsyn mellan majoriteten av lärarna kring vilket innehåll de inkluderar: fraser, satsdelar och bisatser i kombination meHow can grammar teaching be designed in the course Svenska 2? An interview study about Swedish teachers’ grammar teaching in the course Svenska 2 The purpose of this study was to investigate how grammar teaching can be designed in the course Svenska 2. Through the method of semi structured interview, six Swedish teachers’ description of their selection of grammar content as well as their explanat
Our closest living relatives are the chimpanzees, with whom we last shared a common ancestor about 5-6 million years ago. 98% of our protein-coding regions are identical. However, despite our close similarities when it comes to the protein-coding regions in our genome, our cognitive abilities and the size of our brains differ considerably. The Non coding regions, which cover 98% of our genome, are
Within Social Work in Sweden, there has been a long-established tradition to work cooperatively across organizations to achieve various preventive measures, for instance with juvenile crime issues. The purpose of this study was to investigate how such cooperation across two organizations - the police force and the social services- is perceived by the professionals involved in practice. The method

This study sets out to investigate the non-diegetic music in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar (2014) in order to highlight its implicit narrative functions and meanings. The theoretical approach consists of semiotic concepts such as ‘Cognitive denotative’ and ‘Cognitive connotative’ functions by Emilio Audissino, ‘Myth’ and ‘Anchorage’ by Barthes as well as Claudia Gorbman’s ‘Connotative Cueing’.
Measuring the radar response has proven to be a valid input for neural networks used for gesture and motion recognition. Previous work have been based on measuring the radar response of hand gestures, but it has been shown that models based on the analytic expressions for basic objects are useful when simulating larger motions, such as pedestrians. This work explores if a hand model made of basic
