One of the most important travelers of the 18th century was Jakob JonasBjörnståhl. From a young age, he aspired to reach prominence in academiccircles. Greek, Latin, and various Middle Eastern languages were part ofhis studies from the outset, and he distinguished himself by his enthusiasm,thirst for knowledge, and ability to quickly master diverse subjects, alongwith his encyclopedic education.

BACKGROUND: Tumour deposits are an important prognostic factor in colorectal cancer. In tumour node metastasis (TNM)8, the definition became stricter as TNM7's previous requirement for absence of lymphatic tissue was expanded to also include nerve and vascular tissue. TNM8 has been criticised for its limited prognostic value. This study aimed to compare prognostic differences for patients with col

Given that the climate emergency is accelerating, transformative climate action becomes increasingly urgent. Considering social and fairness implications of climate action is critical to avoid widening inequalities and public opposition. The just transitions (JT) and sustainable welfare/eco-social policy (SW/ESP) literatures both address social and fairness issues related to climate action. Howeve

Brief User-Controlled Admission (BUCA) refers to a set of crisis interventions in which the traditional gatekeeping role of the physician is bypassed, allowing service users to independently decide when to access short-term inpatient care through a pre-negotiated agreement. Examples include Brief Admission by self-referral, Patient-Initiated Brief Admission, Patient-Controlled Admission, and Self-

INTRODUCTION: Future physicians must develop the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively manage challenging patient communication. To design linked meaningful learning activities, perspectives from students and teachers need to be taken into account as well as students' previous knowledge. Aiming to better understand how this knowledge can be acquired through patient simulation, we examined

En stad är inte endast en fysisk bild av dess gator och hus. Vi människor har också en egen relation till en stad, ett slags djupare existentiellt förhållande. Därför finns heller inte en berättelse om staden, utan flera - samtida - och ofta djupt personliga.

Den 6 november 1881 höll skräddaren August Palm ett tal med titeln ”Hvad vilja socialdemokraterna?”. Platsen var Hotell Stockholm i Malmö och dagen – Gustav Adolfsdagen – var väl vald. Palms tal har betraktats som startskottet för den socialistiska rörelsen i Sverige. Efter talet färdades Palm landet runt för att agitera och organisera. Talet har därmed fått en närmast symbolisk betydelse inte min

Article about the phenomenon of chess boxing. A historical overview, and some swedish perspectives on the sport is put forward.

A review of Peter Carelli's book about how chess came to Scandinavia. The book is especially focusing archaeologically dug up medieval chess pieces in the Scandinavian countries.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening condition with no cure, making research into its underlying mechanisms critical. The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in vascular remodeling, a key factor in PAH progression. Anti-PDGF receptor therapies, such as imatinib, show promise but are associated with significant side effects. Recent res

We consider some generalizations of the germ-grain growing model studied by Daley, Mallows and Shepp (2000). In this model, a realization of a Poisson process on a line with points Xi is fixed. At time zero, simultaneously at each Xi, a circle (grain) starts growing at the same speed. It grows until it touches another grain, and then it stops. The question is whether the point zero is eventually c

We study the continuous time process on the vertices of the b-ary tree which jumps to each nearest neighbor vertex at the rate of the time already spent at that vertex times δ, plus 1, where δ is a positive constant. We show that for fixed b > 1, if δ is large enough the process is transient, and if δ is close enough to zero it is recurrent. Related results for some other graphs and trees are also

We consider the OK Corral model formulated by Williams and McIlroy and later studied by Kingman. In this paper we refine some of Kingman's results, by showing the connection between this model and Friedman's urn, and using Rubin's construction to decouple the urn. Also we obtain the exact expression for the probability of survival of exactly S gunmen given an initially fair configuration.
