Peace Actions and Mainstream Media : Framing Nuclear Disarmament Protests in Welfare Sweden

This chapter investigates how reports in Swedish mainstream media framed the 1980s peace movement collective actions in Sweden. By revisiting press coverage of protest events, the analysis identifies the central characteristics of the framing. Primarily, the protests are found to be framed in positive terms and successfully conveyed what Charles Tilly and others have noted as key for a social move

“The Winter Palace” in Malmö : Subversive Activists, Welfare-State Anarchists, or Just a Slightly Radical Cultural Association?

The Winter Palace (TWP) was a venue and association within the left-wing alternative environment in Malmö between 1987–1989, with premises in the port area. The venue ran a pub and café; arranged concerts, public lectures, and movie screenings; broadcasted radio; published fanzines; and more. The idea was that the proceeds would be used to build a Southern Swedish center for anarchist propaganda a

The prognostic impact of IKZF1 deletions and UKALL genetic classifiers in paediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia treated according to NOPHO 2008 protocols

We investigated 390 paediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (BCP-ALL) patients treated according to NOPHO ALL 2008, regarding copy number alterations (CNA) of eight loci associated with adverse prognosis, including IKZF1. The impact on outcome was investigated for each locus individually, combined as CNA profiles and together with cytogenetic information. The presence of IKZF1 de

Investigating the effects of autonomy-supportive parenting practices on Italian young adolescent students’ motivation to defend victims of bullying : findings on the mediating roles of reactance, depression, anxiety, and stress

This study investigated the effect of autonomy-supportive parenting practices on young adolescents’ self-reported motivation to defend victims of bullying, and the possible mediating effects of factors such as reactance, anxiety, depression, and stress. Methods: Data were collected from 578 Italian public school students ages 10–14 (Mage = 11.8 years, 52% boys), who completed a survey in their cla

Cardiovascular effects of oxytocin and carbetocin at cesarean section. A prospective double-blind randomized study using noninvasive pulse wave analysis

Background: Oxytocin is routinely administered after delivery for prophylaxis and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage, but it is associated with considerable cardiovascular side-effects. Carbetocin, a synthetic oxytocin analogue, has a myometrial contraction effect of 60 min when given IV, compared with 16 min for oxytocin. Objective: To investigate whether there are differences in cardiovascular e

Higher plasma β-synuclein indicates early synaptic degeneration in Alzheimer's disease

INTRODUCTION: β-Synuclein is an emerging synaptic blood biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD) but differences in β-synuclein levels in preclinical AD and its association with amyloid and tau pathology have not yet been studied. METHODS: We measured plasma β-synuclein levels in cognitively unimpaired individuals with positive Aβ-PET (i.e., preclinical AD, N = 48) or negative Aβ-PET (N = 61), Aβ-po

Complete Active Space Methods for NISQ Devices : The Importance of Canonical Orbital Optimization for Accuracy and Noise Resilience

To avoid the scaling of the number of qubits with the size of the basis set, one can divide the molecular space into active and inactive regions, which is also known as complete active space methods. However, selecting the active space alone is not enough to accurately describe quantum mechanical effects such as correlation. This study emphasizes the importance of optimizing the active space orbit

Towards a global sustainable development agenda built on social-ecological resilience

Non-technical summary The United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs) articulate societal aspirations for people and our planet. Many scientists have criticised the SDGs and some have suggested that a better understanding of the complex interactions between society and the environment should underpin the next global development agenda. We further this discussion through the theory of soci

Extracellular Vesicle-Associated TWEAK Contributes to Vascular Inflammation and Remodeling During Acute Cellular Rejection

Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a leading cause of graft loss and death after heart transplantation despite effective immunosuppressive therapies. The identification of factors that impair graft vascular barrier function or promote immune cell recruitment during ACR could provide new therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of patients who receive transplants. In 2 ACR cohorts, we found the e

Exploring different thermoplastics from lignocellulosic building blocks and monomers

Behovet av att ersätta konventionell fossilbaserad plast blir allt viktigare. Eftersom klimatförändringarna mer synligt påverkar vårt samhälle, förvärrar det problemet att använda icke-hållbara resurser för att tillverka plast. Dessutom hamnar dessa långvariga, icke-återvunna avfall i våra hav, vilket skapar ett inneboende miljöföroreningsproblem. Att forska om nya biobaserade byggstenar för att mThe need to replace conventional fossil-based plastics is becoming more imperative. As climate change is more visibly affecting our society, employing non-sustainable resources to produce plastics is aggravating the problem. Moreover, these long-lasting, non-recycled wastes end up in our oceans, creating an intrinsic environmental pollution problem. Researching new biobased building blocks to enab

Excited-State Dynamics in a DNA-Stabilized Ag16 Cluster with Near-Infrared Emission

Due to desirable optical properties, such as efficient luminescence and large Stokes shift, DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) have received significant attention over the past decade. Nevertheless, the excited-state dynamics of these systems are poorly understood, as studies of the processes ultimately leading to a fluorescent state are scarce. Here we investigate the early time relaxa

Prediagnostic markers of insulin resistance and prostate cancer risk and death : A pooled study

Background: Insulin resistance has been shown to be related to a higher risk of several cancers, but the association with prostate cancer (PCa) has been inconsistent. Methods: We investigated prediagnostic markers of insulin resistance in men in four cohorts in Sweden, in relation to PCa risk (total, non-aggressive and aggressive) and PCa death using multivariable-adjusted Cox regression. The numb

Authority Traversed : Police, Politics and the Urban Poor in Dhaka

This article is about territorial claims, authority and rights in an urban settlement or ‘bosti’ in central Dhaka. It highlights the drama of a violent encounter between a police officer and a young man, unfolding how the social ordering of urban space is (re)produced in and through authority and violence. It illustrates how situated practices of authority define who can access institutions of rig

Formation of CuO2 sublattices by suppression of interlattice correlations in tetragonal CuO

We investigate the tetragonal phase of the binary transition metal oxide CuO (t-CuO) within the context of cellular dynamical mean-field theory. Due to its strong antiferromagnetic correlations and simple structure, analysing the physics of t-CuO is of high interest as it may pave the way towards a more complete understanding of high-temperature superconductivity in hole-doped antiferromagnets.
