Authors as laborers and capitalists. Political self publishing in 1970s Sweden.From the late 1960s and onwards, many Swedish authors started questioning the publishing industry. The relationship between author and publisher was increasingly interpreted as a relationship between wage-laborer and capitalist. As a consequence, initatives to help authors publish without a traditional publisher were la
Single motherhood has long been a feature of European family systems, but its meaning and determinants have changed substantially over time. Using longitudinal individual-level data from the Scanian Economic and Demographic Database (SEDD), covering southern Sweden between 1905 and 2015, we examine the changing demography of single motherhood from a long-term life course perspective. We analyze ho
This paper evaluates the multi-service operation of a heterogeneous second-life battery energy storage system (ESS) participating in the day-ahead electricity market and frequency containment reserves (FCR-N, FCR-D Up, FCR-D Down). A rolling horizon mixed integer linear programming (MILP) is developed to co-optimize market revenues, power schedule, and degradation, using linearized calendar and cy
Demonstration of a nontrivial result of quasiparticle exchange (or braiding) is usually considered the definitive proof of a topological phase with non-Abelian excitations, such as Majorana bound states (MBSs). However, in finite systems with disorder and smooth potential variations, the MBSs are imperfect in the sense that they are not fully isolated in space and can, to a varying degree, resembl
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are crucial for cardiovascular health. HDL dysfunction is strongly linked to atherosclerosis and other diseases. Although HDL is often treated as a single entity, it comprises a spectrum of subfractions differing in size, structure, and composition. Understanding the ultrastructure and function of these subfractions is essential for uncovering the molecular mechanis
Protecting qubits from perturbations is a central challenge in quantum computing. Topological superconductors with separated Majorana bound states (MBSs) provide a strong form of protection that only depends on the locality of perturbations. While the link between MBS separation, robust degeneracy, and protected braiding is well understood in noninteracting systems, recent experimental progress in
Aims: Acute myocarditis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by myocardial inflammation and oedema. Although cardiac lymphatic vessels are essential for fluid clearance and immune regulation, their role in modulating autoimmune cardiac inflammation remains largely undefined. We aimed to determine whether promoting lymphangiogenesis could mitigate inflammation and preserve cardi
The initial adhesion of bacterial cells to implant surfaces is a critical step in the development of biofilms, complex microbial communities that are highly resistant to conventional antimicrobial treatments. Once established, these biofilms and their self-produced extracellular matrix are difficult to eradicate. As a result, there is growing interest in engineering implant surfaces that can effec
This chapter examines elite polarisation as a challenge to governance in parliamentary democracies. We emphasise the distinction between ideological polarisation based on substantive policy disagreements from affective polarisation, characterised by identity-based animosity that creates barriers to cooperation even when policy compromise might otherwise be possible. While parliamentary regimes hav
The current rise in geopolitical tensions has heightened the need to understand the intricate relationship between sustainability and security, particularly in the context of the Global South. However, existing academic literature has paid limited attention to exploring this interconnection. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the nexus of sustainability and security in the Glo
BACKGROUND: It remains unclear why cool temperatures cause more persistent adverse health effects compared to hot weather. Fluid homeostasis may constitute a causal link between past temperatures and adverse health effects. In this study we investigated the association between past outdoor temperatures and current fluid homeostasis.METHODS: We studied participants from five cohorts during three de
Brazed stainless steel joints are critical in heat exchanger applications but often suffer from residual stresses and brittle intermetallics. Using in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and fluorescence at the DanMAX beamline, we investigated Fe-based filler joints in SS316 under tensile loading. Elemental mapping and phase analysis revealed distinct interfacial solidification zones (ISZ), atherma
CONTEXT: Melatonin regulates circadian rhythms and influences glucose metabolism. Altered melatonin secretion may contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but prospective population-based evidence is scarce.OBJECTIVE: To examine whether low nocturnal melatonin secretion is associated with an increased risk of incident T2D in adults.METHODS: This prospective cohort study, with follo
Isospin symmetry, combined with shell-model description, has long been successful in reproducing nuclear structure and predicting mirror energy differences. However, these descriptions have been primarily limited to mirror nuclei with well-bound ground states. As one approaches the proton drip line, coupling to the continuum becomes important. Despite this, little is known about medium-mass nuclei
Introduction: The contribution of aortopulmonary collateral (APC) flow to pleural effusion (PE) after total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) remains unclear. Excessive APC flow may alter mesenteric perfusion and increase ventricular volume load. We evaluated echocardiographic and mesenteric flow parameters as predictors of PE duration and their association with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-deri
