Det är en vanlig uppfattning att demokratin i 1800-talets Europa steg som en våg eller ett tidvatten i takt med ekonomisk tillväxt, liberala reformer och modernisering i största allmänhet. Uppfattningen sammanfattas av David Art, professor i statsvetenskap vid Tufts University i Boston, i inledningen till The Resilience of the Old Regime enligt följande (s. 3): ”Det gemensamma elementet i dessa be

High-resolution synchrotron X-ray tomography combined with digital volume correlation (DVC) enables characterization of three-dimensional strain fields. When local tomography is used to investigate specimens larger than the field of view (FOV), the resulting subvolumes must be stitched together to form a single volume, thereby introducing strain uncertainties in DVC analyses. The present work quan
Under the debt overhang problem, firms approaching distress issue too little equity because new capital primarily benefits creditors. We identify an additional mechanism—control overhang—that further suppresses equity issuance for firms with controlling owners. As distress risk rises, equity issuance discounts steepen, and each unit of capital raised requires greater ownership dilution. Controllin
Individual and family characteristics are important determinants of partner selection byeducation, but social environments during upbringing, such as neighborhoods, also shapepreferences and behavior with long-term consequences. This study examines how educationallevel in the neighborhood of upbringing relates to having a university-educated partner. Usingfull-count register data and logistic regr
Innovation and technological progress have been identified as key drivers of long-term economic growth. However, not all innovation is supporting sustained economic growth or addressing societal concerns such as climate change. Against this backdrop, researchers advocate for active government intervention in shaping technological development, a role that governments have increasingly assumed in reInnovation and technological progress have been identified as key drivers of long-term economic growth.

How do expert committees sustain credibility while radically expanding their institutional scope? This question animates contemporary food governance, as dietary guidelines, historically focused on nutritional adequacy, increasingly incorporate environmental sustainability and demands for democratic participation. Yet scholarship has largely neglected the ongoing legitimacy work, the strategic fra
This doctoral thesis explores potential source value of clay tobacco pipes made and consumed in Sweden in the eighteenth century beyond their currently applied uses as chronometric artifacts. In particular, this study is focused on exploring the ways in which clay tobacco pipes signaled socioeconomic differentiation in their contemporaneity and how such aspects may be understood based on archaeolo
The XT03 beamline at the HIE-ISOLDE facility provides a flexible platform for a broad range of non-permanent reaction experiments with accelerated radioactive ion beams. At its focal plane, the Scattering Experiment Chamber (SEC) offers a large, modular volume capable of hosting diverse internal detector setups. We present an overview of the SEC installation, mechanical layout, and integrated beamThe XT03 beamline at the HIE-ISOLDE facility provides a flexible platform for a broad range of non-permanent reaction experiments with accelerated radioactive ion beams.

In dense urban housing, particularly at high latitudes, the provision of direct sunlight creates a critical trade-off between its value as a residential amenity and the need to ensure occupant comfort and energy-efficient performance. This study investigates indoor sunlight preferences through a national survey in Sweden, providing updated empirical evidence for residential building design. The fi
BackgroundAdrenomedullin (ADM) is a vasoactive neurohormonal peptide involved in vascular integrity and fluid homeostasis. Even if elevated ADM is an established marker of acute vascular stress, it remains unclear how the ADM system should be measured and interpreted in the general population. In particular, it is uncertain which components of the pathway are most informative, when they should be

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystem genetic disease characterized by chronic airway infection and progressive lung function decline. With increasing life expectancy, extrapulmonary comorbidities such as cystic fibrosis–related diabetes (CFRD) and hepatobiliary involvement have become important contributors to disease burden in people with CF (pwCF). Aim: The overall aim of this thesi
