Addressing representations of Russia and neighbouring Eastern Europe in post-1989 Nordic cinemas, this ground-breaking volume investigates their hitherto-overlooked transnational dimension. Departing from the dark stereotypes that characterise much of ‘Eastern noir’, the author presents Russia and Eastern Europe as imagined spaces depicted with a surprisingly rich, but previously neglected, cinema

In this article I investigate the spatial development of Swedish district courthouses and their different room types from 1970 to 2020, with attention to the specificities and commonalities with other building types. How have spatial form and use travelled between building types during this period, and how has this contributed to the recent, quite radical developments and transformation of the cou

The growing popularity of nature-based tourism means that the tourism industry is increasingly utilizing wilderness areas to provide visitor experiences. However, tourism activities negatively impact wilderness quality. Tourism service providers play an important role in shaping these impacts. Therefore, this study investigates their preferences regarding wilderness use and development. It focuses

Denna kandidatuppsats fokuserar på införandet av AI inom e-handel i Sverige. En kvalitativ metod antogs genom att intervjua yrkesverksamma som arbetar inom e-handelssektorn.

AIMS: The aim of this study is to investigate how genetic variations in genes related to oxidative stress, intake of antioxidant vitamins, and any potential interactions between these factors affect the incidence of intact abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and its rupture (rAAA), accounting for sex differences where possible.METHODS AND RESULTS: The present retrospective cohort study (n = 25 252) us

Background: Eugenol is a known contact sensitiser included in fragrance mix I. Objective: To assess the allergic reactivity to eugenol in different concentrations using patch test as well as repeated open application test (ROAT). Methods: Overall 67 subjects from 6 European dermatology clinics participated in the study. The ROAT was performed for 21 days twice a day, applying 3 dilutions of eugeno

Aspects of spatial and temporal rainfall variability and rainfall analysis in relation to some water management problems are surveyed and discussed. It is concluded that relevant modelling of hydrological processes in which the rainfall is a driving force is vital with respect to possibilities of finding solutions to increasing environmental problems following urbanization and industrialization. H

Luftföroreningar dödar 7 miljoner människor varje år och är därmed enligt WHO ett av de största hälsohoten i vår tid. Hälsoeffekterna av luftföroreningar kan vara akuta eller kroniska och de kan drabba flera olika organsystem, bland annat lungor och hjärta. En grundpelare i att åtgärda dessa problem är att kunna mäta och uppskatta hur utsatta vissa individer är för luftföroreningar. Gällande just Background: Air pollution, a global issue affecting millions of individuals, is linked to adverse health effects on the respiratory system, but also to e.g., cancer and cardiovascular ailments. In low-income countries, cooking is often conducted by biomass-combustion, causing women and children to be exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution. Method: A mathematical model has been developed in

The next years will see the completion of the radioactive ion beam facility SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) and the upgrade of the accelerators complex at Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare – Legnaro National Laboratories (LNL) opening up new possibilities in the fields of nuclear structure, nuclear dynamics, nuclear astrophysics, and applications. The nuclear physics community ha

The master thesis Mellanhus, english title: "Interside" explored the connection of thermal environment and the architecture of dwellings in a theoretical investigation coupled with a design proposal for a new housing area in Lund. It starts from a regard of dwelling space as not just contained to the comfort of the own home but in between the buildings of the neighbourhood. A disregard

Middle aged adults experience depression and anxiety differently than younger adults. Age may affect life circumstances, depending on accessibility of social connections, jobs, physical health, etc, as these factors influence the prevalence and symptomatology. Depression and anxiety are typically measured using rating scales; however, recent research suggests that such symptoms can be assessed by Middle aged adults experience depression and anxiety differently than younger adults.
