A study of changes in everyday mobility during the Covid-19 pandemic: As perceived by people living in Malmö, Sweden

Sweden's strategy to manage the spread of Covid-19 has not included any form of lockdown, in contrast to the approaches adopted by most other countries. Instead, the strategy has been largely based on strong recommendations for society. Even though Sweden has not had any form of lockdown, the Covid-19 pandemic has during a relatively short period of time brought changes for society, significantly

Indian into Irish : Paul Muldoon’s ‘Translation’ of the Winnebago Trickster Cycle in “The More a Man Has the More a Man Wants”

In formal postcolonial jargon, writing back signifies an interplay where one cultural practice - commonly called the Western - is being modified, resisted or abandoned to give room for alternative modes of expression and creation. In its post-90 development towards the cultural turn, translation studies has conversely become occupied with ideological concerns. Who translates, and who / what is bei

Mobilizing pity : the dialectics of narrative production and erasure in the case of Iran’s #BlueGirl

In this article we present a case analysis of Sahar Khodayari’s transformation into a global injustice icon, the #BlueGirl, after she set herself ablaze outside a courthouse in Tehran, Iran, allegedly in protest against the ban on women entering football stadiums. We focus on the ways in which ‘pity’ was generated, mobilized, and transformed into indignation against the Iranian state by digital ac

Crises and entrepreneurial opportunities : Digital social innovation in response to physical distancing

As physical distancing is a core measure of containing the spread of COVID-19, this pandemic is a crisis that has uprooted social interaction. While current research mainly focuses on crises as a challenge for entrepreneurial ventures and potential regulatory response mechanisms, we complement this research by addressing the question of how crises in general—and COVID-19's physical distancing meas

Methylchloroisothiazolinone and/or Methylisothiazolinone Contact Allergies in Thailand

BACKGROUND: Methylchloroisothiazolinone, in combination with methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI), and MI alone are common preservatives. The incidences of MCI/MI and MI-alone contact allergies have risen markedly worldwide, leading to changes in their use in products.OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to determine the incidences of positive patch test reactions and factors associated with MCI and/or

Molecular mechanism of cytokinin-activated cell division in Arabidopsis

Mitogens trigger cell division in animals. In plants, cytokinins, a group of phytohormones derived from adenine, stimulate cell proliferation. Cytokinin signaling is initiated by membrane-associated histidine kinase receptors and transduced through a phosphorelay system. We show that in the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem (SAM), cytokinin regulates cell division by promoting nuclear shuttling of

Longitudinal and azimuthal evolution of two-particle transverse momentum correlations in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN= 2.76 TeV

This paper presents the first measurements of the charge independent (CI) and charge dependent (CD) two-particle transverse momentum correlators G2CI and G2CD in Pb–Pb collisions at √SNN=2.76 TeV by the ALICE collaboration. The two-particle transverse momentum correlator G2 was introduced as a measure of the momentum current transfer between neighboring system cells. The correlators are measure

The upgrade of the ALICE TPC with GEMs and continuous readout

The upgrade of the ALICE TPC will allow the experiment to cope with the high interaction rates foreseen for the forthcoming Run 3 and Run 4 at the CERN LHC. In this article, we describe the design of new readout chambers and front-end electronics, which are driven by the goals of the experiment. Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors arranged in stacks containing four GEMs each, and continuous re

Swedish occupational therapists’ considerations for leaving their profession : outcomes from a national survey

Background: Occupational therapists are an essential healthcare profession and play a vital role in rehabilitating patients in the activities of daily life. Nevertheless, many occupational therapists in Sweden are leaving the profession and this jeopardises occupational therapy services. Objective: To explore factors that cause occupational therapists to seriously consider leaving their profession

Imaging Markers of Brain Frailty and Outcome in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional outcome after stroke may be related to preexisting brain health. Several imaging markers of brain frailty have been described including brain atrophy and markers of small vessel disease. We investigated the association of these imaging markers with functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke. METHODS: We retrospectively studied patients with acute ischemic str

Luftföroreningshalter på förskolegårdar

På uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket har avdelningen för Arbets- och miljömedicin vid Lunds Universitet utfört studie kring luftföroreningssituationen på förskolegårdar.Denna studie består av tre delar vara av en är en kunskapsinventering bland landets kommuner kring luftkvalitén på förskolebarns utemiljöer och effekter/strategier för att eventuellt förbättra detta. (sedan tidigare publicerad i denna ra

Poorly Expressed Alleles of Several Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Genes are Common in the Human Population

Extensive diversity has been identified in the human heavy chain immunoglobulin locus, including allelic variation, gene duplication, and insertion/deletion events. Several genes have been suggested to be deleted in many haplotypes. Such findings have commonly been based on inference of the germline repertoire from data sets covering antibody heavy chain encoding transcripts. The inference process
