National quality registries provide valuable opportunities for prospective, standardised follow-up of clinical outcomes over long periods. In cleft care, such long-term data remain limited internationally, particularly beyond childhood. The Swedish National Cleft Lip and Palate (CL/P) Registry, established in 1999 with predefined variables and standardised follow-ups, enables longitudinal evaluati

Biocoal is a fossil- free reductant in metallurgical processes. Due to the increasing use, risks associated with self-heating needs to be better understood. In this work, the apparent activation energy and reaction kinetics of a commercial biocoal were investigated using isothermal calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and basket heating tests, including the c

Background Artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer-aided detection (CAD) systems have demonstrated clinically significant performance in mammographic screening in both retrospective and prospective studies. However, the role of AI in early cancer detection requires further evaluation. Purpose To demonstrate how AI scores in individuals diagnosed with breast cancer may increase up to 10 years b

Positive and balancing selection on pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is widely thought to target ligand-binding domains and affect the specificity of recognition of different pathogens. Alternatively, positive/balancing selection on PRRs could affect general responsiveness by targeting for example signaling domains or cis-regulatory variation. Studies of a wild rodent (the bank vole, Clethrion

This licentiate thesis is based on two papers related to convergence analysis of numerical schemes that contain stochasticity for problems under low-regularity assumptions. The first paper is about a randomized Runge-Kutta scheme for stiff ODEs. The second paper is on a domain decomposition method for parabolic SPDEs.In the first paper, we show that a two-stage singly diagonally implicit Runge-Kut

This study contributes to the research field of research-based mathematics teacher education by offering insights into the scientific competencies of students at the end of their education. Ninety-eight pre-service secondary school teachers’ uses of theoretical and methodological frameworks in 74 degree theses in mathematics education at 14 Swedish universities were examined. A content analysis wa

Skjutningarna i Sverige minskar kraftigt. Vad har hänt? Vi har inte besegrat gängbrottsligheten, och svaren finns heller inte i socioekonomin. Det som rent faktiskt har skett är att en lång rad repressiva åtgärder har införts. Exakt vilka som gav effekt är för tidigt att säga, men klart är att något har ändrats, skriver Ardavan M Khoshnood, docent i akutsjukvård.Shootings in Sweden are falling sharply. What has happened? We have not defeated gang crime, nor can the answers be found in socioeconomic factors. What has in fact happened is that a long series of repressive measures has been introduced. It is still too early to say exactly which of them had an effect, but one thing is clear: something has changed, writes Ardavan M. Khoshnood, Associate Professo

Extract In Iraq, like elsewhere in the region, cinemagoing became a popular form of leisure in the 1920s and 1930s. The emergence of permanent indoor and outdoor cinemas during this period gave rise to new consumption practices, ways of inhabiting the city, opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs, and the creation of a leisure and entertainment economy that was both modern, international, an

This article situates the 1955 novel Abū Nuwās fī Amrīkā by Ṣafāʾ Khulūṣī as an exemplar of and commentary on the dynamics of twentieth-century Iraqi cultural production. Drawing on Margaret Litvin’s application of “travel literature readings” to modern diasporic and expatriate literatures, it analyzes the novel’s protagonist—in the form of a reincarnated, radically reformed version of the Abbasid

In the late 1960s, Palestine became an iconic signifier of solidarity and support for the Left, but also a transgressive tool that shaped and re-situated ideological positions at domestic levels. In this article, we attempt to answer why, how, and when this happened. Most research to date has stressed the global diplomatic offensive by the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization). Palestinian revol

This article traces the emergence of juvenile delinquency as a legal and medical category in Hashemite Iraq (1921–58). We argue that as children and youth became increasingly visible through actions and inactions that highlighted the weaknesses of political and social structures, state institutions adopted international frameworks and vernaculars concerning the participation of youth in labor. Med

This article maps the internationalization of the Palestinian cause by studying the participants, groups, and themes at Palestinian solidarity conferences held in 1969–70. Examining such conferences reveals the extent of communication and ideological debate between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and international solidarity activists at an important juncture in the internationalizatio

Abstract på franskaL’émergence de nouvelles formes de loisirs (tels que le cinéma, lesboîtes de nuit, et le théâtre) dans les paysages urbains irakiens a provoquédes débats sur leurs dangers comme de leurs potentiels. Ce processus a léguéun ensemble d’archives textuelles portant sur les pratiques et les institutionsde loisirs aussi vastes qu’éparpillées. En ce qui a trait au cinéma, les archivespeThe emergence of new forms of leisure in Iraqi urban landscapes,such as cinemas, nightclubs, and theaters, unleashed debates about the dangersand potentials of leisure. The result of this process is a vast, albeit scattered,archive of texts that deal with practices and institutions of leisure. The archive ofleisure, as it pertains to cinema, can be located across a variety of texts includingmemoir

This article uses a queer lens to examine two short stories by the Iraqi communist, teacher, and prose writer Dhu al-Nun Ayyub (1908–88), “The Eagles’ Anthem” and “How I Found a Guy,” published in his collection Sadiqi (1938). Scholars have avoided analysis of the homoerotic and heterotopic aspects of Ayyub’s writings, even if they mention his depictions of physical attraction between men. Rather

The Palestinian national liberation movement - or the Palestinian revolution as it is known in Arabic - emerged during the 1960s as an iconic cause of the global Left. This volume highlights the different practices of international solidarity that characterised this period, and how they shaped and were shaped by the global trajectory of the Palestinian movement. Bringing together scholars with ver
