This article looks at three Swedish books of poetry from this century: Johan Jönson’s Efter arbetsschema (2008), UKON’s Brukaren (2011) and Lars Mikael Raattamaa’s Kommunismen (2015). What these books share is a combination of an explicit critique of life in the late capitalist (Scandinavian) welfare state and an experimental, perhaps post-poetic, practice based on seriality and quotation. Another

This article reads Swedish author Maja Ekelöf’s Report from a Floor Bucket (1971) in light of Julia Kristeva’s concept of Women’s time (1979). The form of Ekelöf’s diary from a life as a single mother with five children and night work as acleaning lady is characterised by the reproductive temporality in which she finds herself but also negotiates with otherforms of time listed by Kristeva: linear

For over a century, scholars have debated the merits of two competing theories for the origins of money. The commodity theory of money has traditionally held that money developed as a medium of exchange in order to increase the economic efficiency of barter economies. Alternatively, chartalist explanations have given causal primacy to the role of state taxation in standardizing money as a unit of

Cruciferous vegetables contain high levels of glucosinolates (GSL) and isothiocyanates (ITC). ITC are known to induce glutathione S-transferases (GST) and thus exert their anticarcinogenic effects. This study explored the combined effects of cruciferous vegetable, GSL and ITC intake and GST polymorphisms on breast cancer risk. A total of 737 breast cancer cases and 756 controls were recruited into

The production of biopharmaceuticals is a chemical- and water-intensive process. The consumption of water and chemicals is partly due to the need for many different buffers in large volumes during the downstream process, typically consisting of several chromatography steps. Given the global commitment to the goals for sustainable development and the anticipated growth of the biopharmaceutical mark

Although previous studies have investigated the association of cruciferous vegetable consumption with breast cancer risk, few studies focused on the association between bioactive components in cruciferous vegetables, glucosinolates (GSL) and isothiocyanates (ITC), and breast cancer risk. This study aimed to examine the association between consumption of cruciferous vegetables and breast cancer ris

The land surface temperature (LT) is a crucial variable that governs the energy and radiation budget of the earth's atmosphere and influences land-atmosphere interactions. The LT plays a crucial role mainly in the short-range forecast of a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model. The primary research goal in this research work undertaken is to assess the impact of assimilation of LT data from the

The collective dynamics of self-organised systems emerge from the decision rules agents use to respond to each other and to external forces. This is evident in groups of animals under attack from predators, where understanding collective escape patterns requires evaluating the risks and rewards associated with particular social rules, prey escape behaviour, and predator attack strategies. Here, we

This study investigates whether local government expenditure correlate with the Quality of Life (QoL) of the local population and whether high public expenditure are indicative of high or low QoL. Data, including information on public expenditure and objective QoL indicators, were gathered for Finnish municipalities from several existing databases and cover a period of 2015–2019. A composite indic

The genus Marchantiana has been a victim of changeable concepts, partly due to erroneous DNA sequences published with its description. Based on new molecular sequencing, new chemical analyses and additional field work, mainly in Patagonia, Tasmania and New Zealand, we present a new taxonomic classification for the genus and related species. M. michelagoensis is confirmed to belong to Marchantiana,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been described as a great hope but also a threat to fulfilling the social goals of sustainable development, where one critical aspect is providing society with a safe and secure environment. At the same time, interdisciplinary analyses that connect the social effects of artificial intelligence with security issues have been relatively sparse. Accordingly, this arti

Introduction: Persistent pharmaceutical contaminants, such as Platinum cytostatics, commonly used in cancer therapy, have been detected in water bodies at low concentrations. Electrochemical, photochemical and biological treatments for the removal and degradation of these contaminants are expensive and sometimes ineffective. Sorption methods are a viable and more efficient alternative. Objectives:

One of the most important consumers’ needs in their decision-making process is reduction of risks. On online platforms, trust is the most powerful tool for mitigating risks in making consumption decisions, especially in relation to tourism services that customers are unable to experience before the trip. In the digital age, trust is often mediated by information and communication technologies (ICT
