One of the ways in which globalization is manifesting itself in higher education and research is through the increasing importance and emphasis on scientific mobility. This article seeks to provide an overview and analysis of current trends and policy tools for promoting mobility. The article argues that the mobility of scientific labour is an indispensable prerequisite for building capacity and w
When we communicate with others, we use a variety of abilities to facilitate and enable that communication. These abilities range from being responsive to others’ communicative cues to making one’s own communication more functional. Such facilitators of communication has been suggested as atypical in the development of autism. Reduced infant responsiveness towards communicative cues -– such as speWhen we communicate with others, we use a variety of abilities to facilitate and enable that communication.

How can cities and communities around the world become more sustainable? What can we do as researchers to help them? As we move through the twenty-first century, these questions assume ever-greater importance. Many of the quickest wins for human and planetary health involve reimagining and reconfiguring cities. Activities that generate negative impacts like air pollution and poor health are concen
En antologi som belyser den geopolitiska friktionen mellan ekonomisk integration och nationell politisk suveränitet i en sammankopplad värld.
Dissemination of risk information is ubiquitous in contemporary society. We explore how individuals react in everyday life to health-risk information, based on what they report in personal interviews. Health-risk information was without exception recognized as unstable and inconsistent. This conformity, however, did not extend to the narratives regarding how health-risk information should be handl
A common problem in particle physics is the requirement to reproduce comparisons between data and theory when the theory is a (general purpose) Monte Carlo simulation and the data are measurements of final state observables in high energy collisions. The complexity of the experiments, the obervables and the models all contribute to making this a highly non-trivial task. We describe an existing lib
Based on the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are widely used methods in medical diagnostic imaging and biological research. Clinical MRI has been restricted to imaging of protons, for reasons of sensitivity. In recent years, hyperpolarization techniques have emerged that can increase the NMR signal by 5–6 ord
Genome-wide association studies of breast cancer have identified multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with increased breast cancer risks in the general population. In a previous study, we demonstrated that the minor alleles at three of these SNPs, in FGFR2, TNRC9 and MAP3K1, also confer increased risks of breast cancer for BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers. Three addi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Mer än 75 % av energianvändningen i världen kommer idag från förbränning av fossila bränslen, biobränslen och avfall. Trots att alternativa energikällor är på framfart kommer förbränning stå för den största andelen av världens energianvändning även de kommande decennierna. Tyvärr medför förbränning flera negativa konsekvenser, såsom ökad koldioxidhalt i atmosfären och uLaser-induced incandescence, LII, is a laser-diagnostic technique that can be used to measure the volume fraction and the sizes of soot particles suspended in a gas, such as within a combustion process or in its exhausts. The technique is based on the facts that the time-decay of the radiation from laser-heated soot particles is directly related to the particle size in the probed volume, and that
I juni 2023 presenterades SOU 2023:36. Betänkandet syftar till att utreda frågan om hur EU-kommissionen och Rådets direktiv om tillräckliga minimilöner i Europeiska unionen ska implementeras i den svenska rätten. Betänkandet har bemötts av viss kritik i remissvar från berörda aktörer och experter inom området. Främst med anledning av hur betänkandet behandlar frågan om enskilda rättigheter samt tä

During lipolysis of chylomicron triacylglycerol by lipoprotein lipase, arachidonic acid (AA) esters are hydrolyzed at a slower rate than the predominant 16-18 carbon fatty acid esters. The further metabolism of the AA that is hereby enriched in the chylomicron remnant acylglycerols has not been investigated. In the present study, we examined the low density lipoprotein (LDL) dependent and independ
In the ActivAbles and STARR projects we are developing interactive training tools for stroke survivors. Our initial user studies pointed to balance being a key ability, therefore one of the developed tools is an interactive balance pad. Equipment exists for persons with good balance (eg. Wii), but most consumer games and exercises are less suited for many stroke survivors. The development process
For diagnostic purpose, particles can be labeled with radionuclides or contain magnetizable materials making them suitable for external measurements of their biokinetics in vivo. In therapy, particles can be used as targetable drug-delivery systems or, if containing radioactivity, for internal radiation therapy. Loaded with, e.g., stable iodine, particles may also be used for photon activation the
