This chapter explores how the two contemporary political parties, the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People’s Party, use the Vikings and the Viking Age as symbols in their national mythmaking. It examines the political dimensions of public history and the way in which these parties draw historical parallels between the Viking Age and the present in order to call for action.

The anthology Cross-Sections: Historical Perspective from Malmö University contains contributions from researchers sharing historical perspectives, but representing different disciplines, such as arts, ethnography, history, literature studies, religion and sports science. The seventeen contributions clearly demonstrate the breadth and diversity of historical research carried out in different depar

Universal screening for defective mismatch repair (dMMR) in colorectal cancer utilizes immunohistochemical staining for MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PSM2. Additionally, BRAF V600E mutations status and MLH1 hypermethylation should be performed to distinguish germline and somatic dMMR alterations. A decade of Danish population-based registries has been analysed regarding screening uptake, detection rate and

Objectives The purpose of a parallel-hole collimator in a scintillation camera system is to transmit only those photons that have an emission angle close to the direction of the hole. This makes it possible to receive spatial information about the origin of the emission, that is, radioactivity decay. The dimension, shape, and intrahole thickness determine the spatial resolution and, by a tradeoff,

Objectives Collimators have a significant role in image quality and detectability in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. Using an appropriate alloy that effectively absorbs scattered photons, without induced secondary x-rays, and with proper rigidity and weight may provide an effective approach to the image improvement that conventionally collimators made of lead (Pb).

De senaste åren har den digitaliserade gigekonomin och de nya arbetsformerna plattformsarbete och egenanställd etablerats i Sverige och övriga EU-länder. Gemensamt är att själva arbetet fragmentiserats och består av korta uppdrag åt ett flertal uppdragsgivare som förmedlas via en digital delningsplattform eller app. Den som utför en arbetsprestation gör det antingen som anställd eller som företaga

The external ventricular drain (EVD) is an important instrument in the management of neuro-intensive care patients through its ability to meassure intracranial pressure and to treat increased intracranial pressure by drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, EVDs are associated with the risk of external ventricular drain related infection (EVDRI). EVDRI diagnosis is challenging as symtoms an

Under åren 1941–1943 steg dödstalen brant på Vipeholms sjukhus, ettstatligt sinnessjukhus för vård av så kallade ”svårskötta obildbara sinnesslöa”. Dehöga dödstalen har, framför allt i massmedia, tolkats som att Hugo Fröderberg,överläkare på Vipeholm, utsatte patienterna för medveten dödssvält eller eutanasi.Stöd för denna tolkning utgörs bland annat av de avlidna patienternas lågakroppsvikt samt
