The abrupt emergence of COVID-19, has ushered in health crises around the world and has affected global security. This pandemic shows that the relationship between security affairs and global health is becoming one of the more complicated topics in world politics. The states’ unilateral and individualized response to this transnational threat marks a shift in international relations away from glob

Ground improvement with lime-cement pillars is becoming increasingly common in the Nordic countries for exploitation of areas with poor stability. However, there is a need for non-destructive methods for volumetric quality control of the ground improvement. The quality control can be divided into two steps where the first include quality control at the installation process with monitoring of produ

We revisit and substantially extend the evidence on the importance of instruction time for student achievement on international assessments. We first successfully replicate the estimate of a positive effect of weekly instruction time in the seminal paper by Lavy (Economic Journal, 125, F397-F424) in a narrow sense. We then extend the analysis to data from other international student assessments an

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) have shown a great potential to be used in several applications, e.g., portable, mobile and stationary systems. Each of the mentioned applications demands from PEFCs different operating conditions to perform in the best possible manner. Knowing in detail the behavior of their internal components will help to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of th

Med projektet Ordbro sätter Centrum för Öresundsstudier fokus på och undersöker språk och språkkultur i det svenska och danska språket. Vi ber personer med olika bakgrund, inriktning och modersmål att utveckla hur de ser på ett visst danskt eller svenskt ord, begrepp eller talesätt.

Background: Dietary advice remains the cornerstone of prevention and management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, understanding the efficacy of dietary interventions is confounded by the challenges inherent in assessing free living diet. Here we profiled dietary metabolites to investigate glycaemic deterioration and cardiometabolic risk in people at risk of or living with T2D. Methods: We analyse

Seating of churches is crucial to how the building is used, experienced and structured. The liturgical practice and contemporary use of seating of chairs play a fundamental part for the participatory performance on a liturgical stage. The long tradition of close interaction between church and nation, society and contemporary material culture, plays part in shaping the design process of the physicaSeating of churches is crucial to how the building is used, experienced and structured.

A low-cost microprocessor-based temperature controller for hyperthermia experiments on rats is described. The system directs a microwave generator, used for heating, by feedback power regulating signals in accordance with the temperature in the animal. The microwave power is pulsed for short on-and-off periods and the temperature recordings are carried out during the off periods. More than 300 hyp

Den aisopiska fabeln etablerades som genre i den grekiska antiken och nådde Skandinavien under medeltiden. I svensk kultur upplevde fabeln en storhetstid under den tidigmoderna epoken (1500–1800). Monografin Fabelbruk i svensk tidigmodernitet. En genrehistorisk studie tar ett helhetsgrepp om fabelgenrens historia i Sverige under denna 300-årsperiod. I dialog med ny internationell fabel- och genrefEstablished as a genre in Greek antiquity, the Aesopic fable reached Scandinavia during the Middle Ages. In Sweden, the fable experienced its glory days during the early modern epoch (1500–1800). The monograph Fabelbruk i svensk tidigmodernitet. En genrehistorisk studie [Usage of Fable in Swedish Early Modernity. A Genre History] takes a comprehensive look at the history of fable in Sweden during

BACKGROUND: Expansion of type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in hypercholesterolaemic mice protects against atherosclerosis while different ILC2 subsets have been described (natural, inflammatory) based on their suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) and killer-cell lectin like receptor G1 (KLRG1) expression. The aim of the current study is to characterize the interleukin 25 (IL25)-induced splenic

Land use contributes to environmental change, but is also influenced by such changes. Climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels’ changes alter agricultural crop productivity, plant water requirements and irrigation water availability. The global food system needs to respond and adapt to these changes, for example, by altering agricultural practices, including the crop types or intensity
