Beyond Law's Anthropocentrism. A Sociolegal Reflection on Animal Law and the More-than-human Turn

In this explorative paper, we examine the emerging body of scholarship that has recently started incorporating more-than-human perspectives in the nexus of law, society, and animals. While ‘more-than-human’ refers to a plurality of theoretical positions, for our purpose we take these positions to reflect the attempt to move away from human exceptionalism in favour of a multispecies account of the

Women’s experiences of pregnancy after gastric bypass surgery

ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION Globally, 20% of women who become pregnant are obese at the time of conception. The prevalence of women becoming pregnant after gastric bypass (GBP) surgery has been increasing. Little is known regarding women’s experiences of pregnancy after GBP surgery and midwives can expect to care for an increasing number of women with prior GBP surgery. Midwives play an important role in

"Seeing a Brighter Future" - Experiences of Adolescents with Common Mental Disorders Receiving the Problem-Solving Therapy "Youth Friendship Bench" in Zimbabwe

In Zimbabwe common mental disorders are prevalent among adolescents and the treatment gap is large. The recently introduced Youth Friendship Bench intervention (YouFB) addresses this gap by task-shifting youth lay health workers to offer a culturally contextualised, manual-based, six-session problem-solving therapy to adolescents, 16-19 years of age. The aim of this study was to explore participanIn Zimbabwe common mental disorders are prevalent among adolescents and the treatment gap is large.

Keep discussing evaluation – A personal and appreciative reflection

In an attempt to summarize and draw preliminary conclusions from the many fine responses to my article ‘Stop evaluating science’, this short piece brings some additional reflections on the topic with the primary intent not to close the debate but to keep it open. Discussing, in turn, three main topics of the responses and an additional topic that arguably is of particular interest, the article’s i

Aerospace Electric Generator Specification and Selection - Opportunities and Challenges

The goal of this work is to specify and investigate suitability of a number of selected permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) topologies to be mounted directly on a low pressure shaft (LPS) of a geared turbofan engine. The starting point of the work is to explore the status of electrical machines for more electric engine in order to study different design aspects when identifying and defininThe goal of this work is to specify and investigate suitability of a number of selected permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) topologies to be mounted directly on a low pressure shaft (LPS) of a geared turbofan engine.

Herrens år 1399

Det är Herrens år 1399. Tyska orden försöker upprätthålla lag och ordning på Gotland strax efter att Kalmarunionen grundats. En man har nyligen hittats hängd i en ödegård norr om Visby. Det visar sig vara en rik borgare från Stockholm. Mördaren har sprättat upp hans mage och slängt trettio silverpenningar på marken under honom en kopia av hur Judas Iskariots död brukar avbildas. Bara några steg fr

The pulp and paper industry is one of the most important industrial sectors worldwide and has great potential to be a cornerstone for the future bioeconomy, especially for lignocellulosic biorefineries. The potential of membrane processes in this transformation is shown in three examples from the fields of Kraft / Sulphate, Sulphite and thermomechanical pulping. In addition, the challenges of memb

Open-access portal with hindcast wave data for Skåne and Halland

Wave climate data for the Swedish provinces Skane and Halland, were hindcast using SWAN, a third-generation spectral wave model. The 40-year wave dataset, from 1979 to 2019, is made available through an open-access data portal (https://gis.sgi.se/vagmodell/). The wave data has a three-hour resolution and includes significant wave height, peak wave period, and wave direction. The wave model domain

Comparison of RNA- and DNA-based methods for measurable residual disease analysis in NPM1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia

Introduction: Reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is considered the method of choice for measurable residual disease (MRD) assessment in NPM1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). MRD can also be determined with DNA-based methods offering certain advantages. We here compared the DNA-based methods quantitative PCR (qPCR), droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), and targeted deep sequencing (deep

Revealing perturbation responses with limited observations of biological communities

Restrictions in empirical research of biological communities have limited our understanding of the combined influence of environmental variability and system structure on community composition. Spatial patterns of community composition in less accessible systems, such as marine benthos, can often not be explained by many factors beyond the direct impact of the environment on community members. We
