Misstänksamheten mot det nyuppfunna margarinet var nära att leda till ett totalförbud i Sverige kring sekelskiftet 1900. Ännu idag florerar fördomar mot ”konstsmöret”, som måste betraktas som ett av våra mest politiskt kontroversiella livsmedel.

Föreställningen utspelar sig i en magisk världsdel befolkad av märkliga figurer och omöjliga f

In the current work, cationic polymers functionalized with N-alicyclic quaternary ammonium (QA) cations were synthesized and characterized as potential hydroxide exchange membranes (HEMs) for application in fuel cells. Three different polymers, namely poly(arylene ether sulfone), spiro-ionene and poly(arylene alkylene), were explored as polymer backbones for the HEMs. Various mono- and spirocyclic

Scholarly literature on science-policy interaction is typically dividedbetween advocating that science and policy need to be broughtcloser together or separated. In a recent article in this journal,Sundqvist and colleagues [Sundqvist et al. (2018) Oneworld ortwo? Science–policy interactions in the climate field, Critical PolicyStudies, 12:4, 448–468] proposed a typology that structures thisdebate.

This case study on the dark side of communication and place branding explores the Amazon corporation’s highly-publicized competitive search for a city to become their second headquarters (dubbed HQ2). In 2017 Amazon sent an open Request for Proposals (RFP) to cities in North America defining what constitutes an ‘ideal’ headquarters. In addition to offering capital and incentives, Amazon’s ideal ci

Separately collected urine is an attractive potential fertilizer because of its high nutrient content, low cost, and inherent linkage of urban wastewater management and peri-urban agriculture. Urine from waterless urinals was applied to corn and lettuce plants to examine the impact of urine application rates and frequency on plant growth and soil parameters. In both corn and lettuce experiments, u

A multicentre study was performed at four oncology centres in Sweden, in 160 chemotherapy-naive women, primarily with ovarian or endometrial carcinomas. Abdominal surgery preceded chemotherapy in 146 (91%) women, and another 39 (24%) women had a history of radiotherapy. The chemotherapy regimens contained cisplatin (50-100 mg/m2), in combination with a variety of other agents. In Course 1, all pat

Tumor growth in the pelvis with nerve involvement causes severe pain which is notoriously resistant to pharmacological treatment. Chordotomy is a classical method for the relief of pain. This is a retrospective study of 24 chordotomy cases, operated on at the department of Neurosurgery, and independently evaluated at the department of Gynecologic Oncology. Initially 19 patients (79%) were painfree

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the conceptualisation of bibliometric analyses in terms of the levels on which they are performed, adding contextual factors to the dimension where the size of the unit being analysed is considered. Based on empirical investigations of resource allocation systems and research evaluation practices, as well as the previous literature conceptualising bibliometr
