Att ta en tugga av havet. Om blå åkrar, grön ekonomi och den smarta tångens svåra resa

The marine environment has an important role to play in the change-over to a green economy where the blue fields of the sea can form new and ex- panded cultivation spaces. Over the recent years there has been an increasing interest for seaweed as food in Europe. In this article we follow the sea- weed’s journey into the Swedish cuisine by letting it lead us to different places and actors. Seaweed

Tourism, technology and ICT : a critical review of affordances and concessions

The digital information age has changed global tourism in profound ways. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are pervasive, and they have become inextricably linked with contemporary consumer cultures. ICTs represent affordances: to apprise, plan, order, network, socialize, stream, transact and rate. These are remunerated with concessions in the form of consumer data that is used to d

ESS Control System Data Lab - Executive Summary

Driven by the idea to use alarm data to explore machine learning across Industry 4.0 applications, the goal of this pilot study was to explore how to collect, store, manage and share data from the ESS Control System. Generally, we seek to make any control system data available for research and innovation but started with alarms as a feasible domain in which to explore machine learning. The goals w

The End of a Noble Narrative? : European Integration Narratives after the Nobel Peace Prize

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize 2012 to the EU (European Union) came as a surprise. Not only was the eurozone economic crisis undermining both policy effectiveness and public support for the EU, but it was also seriously challenging the EU's image in global politics. The eurozone crisis, the Nobel Prize and the search for a ‘new narrative for Europe’ demonstrate that the processes of Europea

Urinary bisphenol a, f and s levels and semen quality in young adult danish men

Bisphenol A (BPA) is considered an endocrine disruptor and has been associated with deleterious effects on spermatogenesis and male fertility. Bisphenol F (BPF) and S (BPS) are struc-turally similar to BPA, but knowledge of their effects on male fertility remains limited. In this cross– sectional study, we investigated the associations between exposure to BPA, BPF, and BPS and semen quality in 556

Regulatory interplay between mir-181a-5p and estrogen receptor signaling cascade in breast cancer

The efficacy and side effects of endocrine therapy in breast cancer (BC) depend largely on estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) expression, the specific drug administered, and treatment scheduling. Although the benefits of endocrine therapy outweigh any adverse effects in the initial stages of BC, later- or advanced-stage tumors acquire resistance to treatments. The mechanisms underlying tumor resistance

Serotonin transporter messenger RNA in the developing rat brain : Early expression in serotonergic neurons and transient expression in non- serotonergic neurons

Serotonin has been shown to affect the development of the mammalian nervous system. The serotonin transporter is a major factor in regulating extracellular serotonin levels. Using in situ hybridization histochemistry the rat serotonin transporter messenger RNA was localized during embryogenesis, the first four weeks postnatally and adulthood. Three general classes of serotonin transporter messenge

In it together? An Exploration of the Moral Duties of Co-Parents

Even though co‐parenthood is one of the most significant close personal relationships that people can have, there is relatively little philosophical work on the moral duties that co‐parents owe each other. This may be due to the increasingly questionable assumption, still common in our societies, that co‐parenthood arises naturally from marriage or romantic coupledom and thus that commitment to a

Review article: the ethics of population policies

This is a review of contemporary philosophical discussions of population policies. The focus is on normative justification, and the main question is whether population policies can be ethically justified. Although few analytical philosophers have directly addressed this question – it has been discussed more in other academic fields – many arguments and considerations can be placed in the analytica

The landscape of small cell lung cancer metastases : Organ specificity and timing

Background: Early metastasis is a hallmark of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the mechanisms and resulting patterns of SCLC dissemination are unclear. Our aim was thus to investigate the organ specificity and timing of blood-borne metastases in a comprehensive large cohort of SCLC patients. Methods: In this retrospective non-interventional cross-sectional study of 1009 Caucasian SCLC patie
