Rescaling : Change agency and the emerging geography of economic relationships

In this paper, we propose a theoretical and conceptual framework for articulating and studying changes in the global economic landscape and illustrate this framework in the current context. The framework pivots around the notion of rescaling, which is interpreted from a human agency perspective. We disentangle three theoretically distinct dimensions of rescaling and show how they play together usi

Asthma and allergy trajectories in children based on combined parental report and register data

Background: Trajectories of asthma and allergy in children are heterogeneous and commonly derived from parental report of disease or clinical records. This study combined parental-reported and register-based dispensed medication data to characterize childhood trajectories of co-existing asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema. Methods: From a Swedish population-based birth cohort (N = 5654), survey

The Effect of Military Base Closures on Young Adults

This study examines the response among young adults to the closure of a large local employer. By using military base closures in Sweden, I find that men experience lower earnings and enroll in tertiary education. This is driven by low-ability men who choose shortterm enrollment at nearby colleges and universities. For women, the closures have a positive impact after some years, with increases in b

50 år av folksuveränitet. Makt, funktion och ­förvaltning i 1974 års regeringsform

År 2024 är det 50 år sedan riksdagen slutligt beslutade att införa den nuvarande regeringsformen. Jubileet har fått relativt mycket uppmärksamhet. Riksdagen har byggt upp en särskild webbplats med information och det har givits ut minst tre forskningsantologier med anledning av jubileet.I detta temanummer ger statsvetare och jurister sina perspektiv på centrala teman med anknytning till den nu fem

Kommentar. Regeringsformen och de statliga lärosätena

Shirin Ahlbäck Öberg belyser i sin artikel i detta nummer av Statsvetenskaplig tidskrift några viktiga aspekter av hur lärosätenas konstitutionella ställning har utvecklats fram till 1974 års regeringsform och därefter. I ett större perspektiv visar hennes bidrag också på några allmänna drag i regeringsformens tillkomst och betydelse för den offentliga verksamheten. I denna kommentar ger jag några

Revisiting the breadwinner norm : Replicating Bertrand, Kamenica, and Pan (2015)

I perform a narrow and wide replication of the labor force participation analyses in Bertand,Pan, and Kamenica (2015), which finds a negative relationship between realized and predicted female breadwinning and wives’ labor force participation. Their results replicate in a narrow sense, even when samples from the same data sources cannot be perfectly reproduced. In the broader replication, I test w

Interactions of intrinsically disordered peptides with phospholipid bilayers

The main goal of this thesis has been to investigate the interaction of the intrinsically disordered peptide Histatin 5 (Hst5), with phospholipid bilayers, using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques, such as, small- angle X-ray scattering, circular dichroism, neutron reflectometry, quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, The main goal of this thesis has been to investigate the interaction of the intrinsically disordered peptide Histatin 5 (Hst5), with phospholipid bilayers, using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques, such as, small- angle X-ray scattering, circular dichroism, neutron reflectometry, quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations,

Policy amnesia and the promise of housing cooperatives : Finnish housing cooperativism from 1920 to 2020

Finland seems to suffer from a kind of ‘policy amnesia’ when it comes to the topic of housing cooperatives. Tracing back from 1920 to 2020, this article analyses waves of experimentation and political debate with housing cooperativism across both housing production and consumption. Supplementing a document analysis with expert interviews, it investigates which cooperatively-organized modes of hous

Lignin-Based Electrolytes for Aqueous Redox Flow Batteries

Lignin is one of the most naturally occurring biopolymers on Earth and exists in a relatively large portion of the residual stream of the pulp and paper industry. Technical lignin is water-soluble, nontoxic, and rich in quinone-type groups; therefore, it could be a potential redox species for next-generation aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs). Despite having attractive features, lignin does not s

ON THE CHOICE OF TIME WINDOW LENGTH FOR WAVEFORM ITERATIONS FOR COUPLED PROBLEMS

e consider waveform iterations for dynamic coupled problems with respect to therole of time window length. We review existing theoretical results about the error of waveformiterations and the role of the time window length. Furthermore, we present numerical resultsfor waveform iterations with both time adaptive sub solvers and with fixed time steps. Thisway, we are able to give a recommendation on

Women's exposure to intimate partner violence and its association with child stunting : findings from a population-based study in rural Rwanda

BACKGROUND: Child stunting is a significant challenge for most districts in Rwanda and much of sub-Saharan Africa and persists despite multisectoral efforts. There is a notable lack of population-based studies examining the correlation between violence against women and child stunting in Rwanda.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the association between Rwandan women's exposure to intimate partner

Caring for the Liminal Dead : Lutheran Emergency Baptism and Stillbirth, ca. 1530–1720

This chapter addresses perinatal mortality in early modern Lutheran Sweden by examining the interplay between religious and medical birth practices and fetal and infant concepts and imagery. Early modern European birth intervention strategies aimed at securing baptism: the spiritual survival of unborn individuals. Lutheran doctrine demanded a complete live birth before baptism, yet emergency solut
