The Burning Qur'an and the Benign Bible : Representation of Scripture(s) in the Swedish Media Debate on the Qur'an Burnings

In this article, we examine the way the (Christian) Bible and the Qur’an are represented in Swedish press in the wake of the Qur’an burnings that took place in Sweden 2020–23. Through critical discourse analysis we investigate debate articles and identify prominent discourses that stress the Bible as benign and the Qur’an as malign for Swedish society. The Bible is framed as harmonizing with Swedi

The COVID pandemic and public support for the euro

The COVID pandemic had disastrous effects on health and economic activity worldwide. In the euro area, mandatory lockdowns contributed to a sharp fall in production and a rapid rise in unemployment, inducing an expansionary fiscal and monetary response. This column examines the effects of the pandemic and the ensuing economic policies on public support for the euro. Public support reached historic

Exploring the placement of gambling problems within the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology

The placement of gambling problems within the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) framework, which organizes psychopathology alongside broad overarching symptom spectra, is unclear. With the objective to identify associations between gambling problems and the internalizing, externalizing, and thought disorder spectra of the HiTOP, we distributed an online survey to a sample of 1005 Sw

Sustaining Social Interaction in Public Squares After Dark : A socio-physical perspective on the lighting-behaviour relationship

Public squares are everyday life-spaces, essential for supporting social interaction and thereby contributing to individuals’ wellbeing and quality of life. The provision of safe, accessible, and inclusive public squares is an imperative for sustainable urban development of cities and communities.After dark, electric lighting is necessary for sustaining activities, including social interaction, inPublic squares are everyday life-spaces, essential for supporting social interaction and thereby contributing to individuals’ wellbeing and quality of life.

Association between continuity of care in Swedish primary care and emergency services utilisation : a population-based cross-sectional study

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to determine the association between longitudinal continuity of care (CoC) in Swedish primary care (PC) and emergency services (ES) utilisation.Study design: A cross-sectional analysis of longitudinal population data. Setting. PC centres, out-of-hours PC facilities and emergency departments (EDs) in Blekinge County in southern Sweden. Subjects: Pe

Humanising the Nonhuman : An Ecocritical Toolbox for Anthropomorphic Agency

Ecocriticism tends to acknowledge anthropomorphisms as a possible tool to create empathy for nonhumans, but in doing so mostly labels said tool as too sentimental for serious environmental literature. This paper aims to establish a categorisation of anthropomorphisms in media that allows a more diverse and detailed analysis of humanised nonhumans. It seeks to overcome the prevailing idea that anth

Insulinoma Manifesting Early Postpartum: Case Report and Review of the Literature

ABSTRACT Objective: Insulinomas are insulin-producing neuroendocrine tumors. Insulinomas presenting during pregnancy and the early postpartum period are very rare. Methods: A 33-year-old woman with hypoglycemia early postpartum is described. Abdominal computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasound showed 2 lesions of the pancreas. An 11C-5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan (11CHTP) positron emission tomography-

Which did most to encourage secularisation: politics, economy or family? Shifting seasonality of marriages in the Barcelona Area, 1715–1880

This article aims to analyse how the intertwining of politics and religion, economic transformation due to industrialisation, and family influence each contributed to the abandonment of the traditional, religious marriage calendar during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the Barcelona Area or the Oficialitat de Barcelona, the most populated deanery among the four that comprised the Dioces

Measuring the quantum state of photoelectrons

A photoelectron, emitted due to the absorption of light quanta as described by the photoelectric effect, is often characterized experimentally by a classical quantity, its momentum. However, since the photoelectron is a quantum object, its rigorous characterization requires the reconstruction of the complete quantum state, the photoelectron’s density matrix. Here we use quantum-state tomography to

A multidimensional approach to quantum state tomography of photoelectron wavepackets

There is a growing interest in reconstructing the density matrix of photoelectron wavepackets, in particular in complex systems where decoherence can be introduced either by a partial measurement of the system or through coupling with a stochastic environment. To this end, several methods to reconstruct the density matrix, quantum state tomography protocols, have been developed and tested on photo

The (im)possibilities of circular consumption : Producing and performing circular clothing consumption in retail and household settings

I cirkulära ekonomier förväntas konsumenter förlänga produkters livslängd och säkerställa att de återvinns—en betydande omställning från dagens ekonomiska system där linjära konsumtionssätt dominerar. För att stödja denna omställning behöver vi förstå hur cirkulär konsumtion (o)möjliggörs i olika kontexter som formats av linjär konsumtion, t. ex. detaljhandeln och hushåll. Syftet med denna avhandlIn circular economies, consumers are expected to extend product lifetimes and ensure recycling—a considerable departure from the linear take-make-dispose model. To support this shift, we need to understand how circular consumption is currently enabled in retail markets and how consumers navigate these tasks. Thus, in this dissertation, I aim to explore and conceptualise how circular consumption is

Systematic Review of Methods for Individual Prediction of Postoperative Pain

Background: Acute postoperative pain is a common problem in clinical practice and merits attention considering its potential long-term adverse effects. This systematic review covers current knowledge on methods for individual prediction of postoperative pain. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using the PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases for original studies with adult patient
