Governments encourage cultural entrepreneurship in various ways, including by so-called tax incentives. Tax incentives are tax benefits for certain persons or activities. Most well known in relation to cultural policy are tax incentives for donations. The design of these tax incentives varies between countries. Not only may domestic tax incentives for donations be important for cultural organizati

I civilprocessrätten är taleformerna, möjligheten att göra taleändringar och reglerna om rättskraft centrala, men de anses ofta svåröverskådliga. Här ges en översikt över rättsläget med fokus på de viktigaste frågorna. Bland annat behandlas när en prestation måste vara förfallen till fullgörelse för att en fullgörelsetalan ska kunna väckas, hur förutsättningarna för att väcka en fastställelsetalan

This thesis consists of four self-contained chapters that explore two areas in development economics: the impact of geography and climate on health, learning, and financial decision-making, and the influence of history and culture on human and social capital.In the first chapter, we study the effect of waterborne disease risk on children’s health and learning in Tanzania. Using a hydrological mode

You want to run an experiment where you anticipate finding a treatment effect.How large should your sample size be to have a reasonable chance of detectingsignificant results? In this manuscript, I present and explain the Stata code I use toaddress this question. The code uses simulations to conduct power analyses,offering a flexible alternative to the commonly used analytical tools. Unliketraditi

Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can cleave the strong triple bond in N2, making nitrogen available for biological life. Despite extensive research, the mechanism of nitrogen fixation by nitrogenase is not fully understood, partly due to the enzyme’s complex structure, which includes the largest iron–sulfur cluster known in metalloenzymes, the FeMo cluster. Understanding this process requires t

Heart failure (HF) is associated with high mortality, decreased quality of life, and places a heavy burden on healthcare resources. Numerous HF patients are diagnosed without a conclusive echocardiogram and are lacking appropriate pharmacotherapy. The majority of HF studies in Sweden are based on hospital registries that may not represent the entirety of the HF patient population. This thesis exam

Variations in solar activity have been proposed to play an important role in recent and past climate change. To study this link on longer timescales, it is essential to know how the Sun has varied over the past millennia. Direct observations of solar variability based on sunspot numbers are limited to the past 400 years, and beyond this we rely on records of cosmogenic radionuclides, such as 14C a

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and hormonal contraceptives may affect each other's metabolism and clinical efficacy. Loss of seizure control and unplanned pregnancy may occur when these compounds are used concomitantly. Although a large number of available preparations yield a plethora of possible drug combinations, most of these drug interactions are predictable and, thus, avoidable. Unfortunately, t

When treating pregnant women with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), clinicians have to balance potential fetal adverse effects against the risks of uncontrolled maternal disease. Only recently have emerging scientic data provided a rational basis for treatment decisions considering both aspects. The focus of research is currently moving from the first to the second AED generation. Lamotrigine is relativ

The human silencing hub (HUSH) complex binds to transcripts of LINE-1 retrotransposons (L1s) and other genomic repeats, recruiting MORC2 and other effectors to remodel chromatin. How HUSH and MORC2 operate alongside DNA methylation, a central epigenetic regulator of repeat transcription, remains largely unknown. Here we interrogate this relationship in human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs), a soma

Background. The debate about increased welfare and health service costs is well-known in relation to the growing ageing population. Over the past thirty years, ageing in place has been the guiding principle for policies concerning older people and housing in Sweden and other Western countries. Sweden is among the countries in the European Union and internationally whose populations have the longes

Treating severe dermal disruptions often presents significant challenges. Recent advancements have explored biological cell sprays as a promising treatment, but their success hinges on efficient cell delivery and complete wound coverage. This requires a good spray distribution with a small droplet size, high particle number, and ample surface coverage. The type of nozzle used with the spray device

Summary: In the few social work publications dedicated to exploring phenomenological philosophical concepts, embodiment or the lived body, promoted especially by phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty, seems to have received special attention. Roughly, and according to a phenomenological philosophical perspective, the lived body signifies a mind–body unity that is believed to constitute acts of hum
