Ultrafast manipulations of magnetic phases are eliciting increasing attention from the scientific community because potentially relevant to the understanding of nonequilibrium phase transitions and to novel technologies. Here, we focus on manipulations applied to magnetic impurities in metallic hosts. By considering small nanoring geometries, we show how currents can induce a dynamical switching b
Rules-based fiscal policy is under threat. Over the last two decades, it proved frustratingly complicated to strike the right balance between three essential properties of sound fiscal policy rules: simplicity, flexibility, and enforceability. Simplicity has been sacrificed to ensure that more contingent (i.e. flexible) rules remained enforceable. The resulting arrangements have failed to adequate
This paper highlights and assesses the importance of the role of economic shrinking for the long-term growth process in the developing world over the period 1951-2016. On the basis of descriptive analysis it shows that resilience to shrinking, even among the miracle economies in Pacific Asia, plays a more important role for successful catching up than economic growth per se. The paper then propose
This article analyses the particular energy transition of the Swedish iron and steel sector (1800- 1939),, a relevant actor in the European context during the nineteenth and twenteenth century. The Swedish iron and steel sector is an interesting case to analyse in the perspective of energy transition and the composition and change of the capital stock (classified by energy technology). An in-depth
Most patients with anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease present with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with or without pulmonary haemorrhage; however, there are several variants and vigilance is necessary to make a correct diagnosis. Such variants include overlap with anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies-associated vasculitis and membranous nephropathy as well as anti-GBM occu
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune bullous disease, associated with autoantibodies directed against the hemidesmosomal components BP180 and BP230. In this study for the first time different laboratories have analyzed the autoantibody profile in the same group of 49 prospectively recruited BP patients. The results show that: 1) disease severity and activity correlated with levels of IgG again
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a prototype of autoimmune disease. The disease can be transferred with the antibodies and there is a strong correlation with certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes. The pathogenic epitope on the NC1 domain of the 3-chain of type IV collagen is well characterized and only antibodies against this epitope correlate with disease. The diagnos
Every type of reality belongs to the semiotic realm and this means that every being is in constant need of translation and interpretation. What we mostly translate are signs and that is why this book envisages interpreting the morphotic nature of signs. In spite of Roman Jakobson having outlined the impossibility of full equivalence between code-units, the same theoretician admitted to paraphrasin
Report developed for Tourism Tropical North Queensland in connection with the Newscorp Tourism Innovation Conference held in Cairns, Australia 6 November 2015. The report describes elements of innovation theory and practice, as well as the main themes elaborated in the keynote presentations at the conference.
Innovation is essential in the complex and fluid social environment of tourism; for the practitioner, the essential capability is that of being able to learn and innovate, and to do so often. One must therefore reflect on how present methods of university education might equip tourism students (or indeed students in any social science) to develop the necessary innovation capability so as to meet t
Majoriteten av iranierna i Sverige reser ofta till Iran, vilket gör att de enkelt är måltavlor för den islamiska regimen som kan använda sig av dem för att samla in information om andra iranier i Sverige, skriver Ardavan Khoshnood.The majority of Iranians in Sweden often travel to Iran, making them easy targets for the Islamic regime which can use them to gather information about other Iranians in Sweden, writes Ardavan Khoshnood.
Emergency physician Ardavan Khoshnood reacts strongly to Lorentz Tovatts (MP) statement that there are reasons for adults not to use bicycle helmets.
Jag vill gärna avsluta med att citera psykiatrikern David Eberhard som i sin bok ”Det stora könsexperimentet" förklarar problemet med klagomålen kring Hesslow mycket väl: ”I dagens genusteoretiska värld tycks inte ens biologi existera. Man har helt enkelt valt bort den”.A debate article on the discussions at Lund University regarding Professor Germund Hesslow and his lecture regarding sexuality.
The unemployed in Sweden today have to relate to several types of benefit schemes. Apart from the public unemployment insurance program, different workplaces are covered by different complementary benefit arrangements regulated by collective agreements between employer and union organizations. These Employment Transitional Agreements have existed since the 1970s but have expanded further in scope
This paper examines whether and, if so, why source country heterogeneity exists in foreign direct investment. Using detailed Swedish matched employer-employee data for the period from 1996 to 2009, we find statistical evidence that affiliate performance differs systematically across source countries. We then show that differences in foreign multinational enterprises’ global management practices (e
he traditional Swedish monocentric and uniform legal model is challenged by an increasingly diverse contemporary legal situation associated with the development of a multicultural and pluralistic society. How Swedish criminal courts handle this in terms of understanding and framing minority legal culture is addressed by looking into what role is given to this culture in the courts’ construction of
