The article presents the most important lexicographic resources and milieus in Scandinavia. Each section is dealing with both mono- and bilingual lexicography and puts emphasis on contemporary as well as historical dictionaries. The field of lexicography is old, which means that several dictionary projects were started (and completed) a long time ago. In several cases, such works have had been upd
This project investigates how power operates as performative in the everyday work experiences of employees of different ethnic backgrounds in a multinational organization. Rather than treating power as a stable possession held by individuals or institutions, the study conceptualizes power as enacted, reproduced, and negotiated through routine individual and organizational practices. For migrants t
At a time when journalism is said to be facing an epistemic crisis, the Baltic Sea islands tell a different story. On Åland, Gotland, Bornholm, and Saaremaa, local newsrooms still verify their information and connect to and sustain public life. Besides being a source of information, their journalism is also part of the islands’ shared identity – and a reminder that a free press is something worth
This study examines home-leaving patterns among Middle Eastern (ME) immigrants and youth with ME backgrounds in Sweden using population register data for individuals aged 17 to 35 between 1998 and 2022. Applying competing risks models, we analyse transitions from the parental home to independent living while accounting for marriage as an alternative pathway. The results show that youth of ME origi
Peripartum hysterectomy (PH), the surgical removal of the uterus during the peripartum period, is a rare but potentially life-saving intervention for severe obstetric complications such as major haemorrhage, uterine rupture, and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). As a maternal near-miss event, PH carries substantial maternal and neonatal morbidity, mortality, and long-term psychological impact. Data
The article examines the significance of confessional culture for conceptions ofvocation, gender roles, and organizational forms within the Deaconess Institutionand the Deacon Institution during the period circa 1850–1910.The study shows that the traditional Lutheran understanding of the house-hold’s responsibility for one’s neighbor, as part of the earthly calling, was rede-fined within diaconal
This book provides a general guide to stone-structures of the pre-colonial period called zimbabwes. This is a name which denotes their usage as prestige buildings and that a particular quality of masonry with frequent application of wall decoration patterns was required, which distinguishes them from many other stone structures of coarse workmanship. At least 300 sites are known within the borders
African elephants are keystone species facing severe declines due to the ivory trade and habitat loss. To investigate the genomic consequences, we analyze 232 high-coverage genomes from 17 African countries in the first continent-wide genomic analysis treating savanna (Loxodonta africana) and forest (L. cyclotis) elephants as distinct species. We find a deep divergence between species, with forest
Summary: Codon sequences can influence proteins to misfold during cotranslational folding. Here, we develop an in vivo assay in E. coli to comprehensively study the impact of single synonymous substitutions on protein folding efficiency and apply it to the N-terminal domain of ddlA. By mapping the influence of codons along the sequence, we show that codon identity can substantially influence foldi
The North Atlantic region is a key component of the climate system via large-scale atmosphere and ocean circulation. Climate field reconstructions can provide a long-term context for ongoing climate change and contribute to our understanding of climate dynamics, impact of external forcings, and act as references for model evaluation and baseline for natural variability. There are distinct differen
During the investigations within the Vestfoldbane excavation project, c. 1000 sherds of Neolithic pottery were found at Langangen Vestgård 6, Figure 1 (Reitan 2014a). This pottery is classified as Funnel Beaker type. Both radiocarbon and shoreline dating are in accordance with the typological dating, c. 3900-3600 BC (all dates in this article are in calBC). When the site was in use, it was close t
For multi-vehicle complex traffic scenarios in shared spaces such as intelligent intersections, safe coordination and trajectory planning is challenging due to computational complexity. To meet this challenge, we introduce a computationally efficient method for generating collision-free trajectories along predefined vehicle paths. We reformulate a constrained minimum-time trajectory planning probl
Abstract – Introduction: Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is associated with substantial impairment and high healthcare use, particularly among patients with chronic symptoms, psychiatric comorbidity, and poor response to standard interventions. Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a promising emotion-focused approach, but evidence in treatment-resistant SSD remains limited. Methods
Background – Advancing the development of highly efficacious and long-lasting malaria vaccines is hampered by incomplete knowledge of protective immune mechanisms and an absence of established correlates of immunity. Antibody avidity is frequently evaluated as an indicator of a high-quality or protective antibody response to vaccination. However, the importance of avidity in vaccine-induced immuni
Many Japanese regional cities face population decline, industrial constraints, and limited resources for decarbonization, yet hold untapped potential in the residential and commercial sectors through local energy use. This chapter develops a carbon neutrality (CN) strategy for Tochigi Prefecture and evaluates its feasibility with particular attention to social acceptance. Six scenarios were create
Absorption of chemicals through the skin affects occupational and environmental exposure to diverse compounds. We previously showed that loss-of-function (null) mutations and low–copy number variants (CNV) of Filaggrin (FLG), which encodes a key skin barrier protein, increased dermal chemical absorption; however, the FLG genotype did not explain all the observed variation. Here, we explore the eff
The initiation of adaptive immunity requires antigen presentation in immune inductive sites. Classical dendritic cells (cDC) sense peripheral immune response inducing cues and migrate to the tissue-draining lymph nodes upon engagement, where they present acquired antigen to cognate T cells. Vaccines include adjuvants, which enable cDC activation and migration, both essential steps in the cascade l
