This short contribution is concerned with the development of the colour adjective blå (blue) in Swedish and the underlying semantic conditions and mechanisms that have been favourable for the development of the new senses that have gained ground among speakers.

Le Poidevin’s ‘new agnosticism’ concerns partaking in religious life while being uncertain whether religious discourse is fictional or not. Le Poidevin has offered two distinct versions of the new agnosticism, ‘semantic agnosticism’ and ‘meta-linguistic agnosticism’. I suggest that the first, ‘semantic agnosticism’, should be rejected, mainly because it involves a highly questionable view of truth

Real-time state estimation in chromatography is a useful tool to improve monitoring of biopharmaceutical downstream processes, combining mechanistic model predictions with real-time data acquisition to obtain an estimation that surpasses that of either approach individually. One common technique for real-time state estimation is Kalman filtering. However, non-linear adsorption isotherms pose a sig

Background: Information on bleeding phenotype in nonsevere hemophilia may be used to determine target factor levels for prophylaxis or gene therapy in severe hemophilia. Objectives: To assess the association between endogenous factor level and bleeding phenotype in children with nonsevere (factor [F]VIII/FIX activity 1%-25%) hemophilia A (HA) and B without prophylaxis. Methods: Data on annualized

Audio description (AD) plays a crucial role in making audiovisual media accessible to people with a visual impairment, enhancing their experience and understanding. This study employs an event segmentation task to examine how people without sight perceive and segment narrative events in films with AD, compared to sighted viewers without AD. Two AD versions were utilized, differing in the explicitn

This article aims to examine the nexus between social media, anti-corruption activism and democratisation in authoritarian regime contexts. It will investigate the complex ways in which civil society actors utilise art and humour on social media platforms to engage in covert anti-corruption activism. In doing so, we will show how, in authoritarian contexts, digital (social media) activists creativ

Sleep concerns are common during pediatric cancer treatment and can last into survivorship. The current systematic review sought to identify intervention studies that addressed sleep as a primary or secondary outcome during pediatric cancer treatment up to 5 years after completing treatment. Quality assessment was rated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (

Det övergripande syftet med avhandlingen är att utforska alliansbildning och allianshantering i en regional miljö, genom att analysera hur det ryska hotet i Östersjöregionen bemöttes under åren 2014-2020. Studien utvecklar i synnerhet begreppet ”informellt allierad” och belyser alliansbildning ur ett småstatsperspektiv. I linje med ett realistiskt tillvägagångssätt tar studien det internationella The overall aim of this thesis is to explore alliance formation and management in a regional setting, by analyzing responses to the Russian threat in the Baltic Sea region during the years 2014-2020. In particular, the study develops the concept of an informal ally and sheds lights on alliance formation from a small state perspective. In line with a realist approach, the study takes the impact of

According to popular understandings, children grow from a state of dependence to eventually become independent adults. Interdependence helps to disrupt the in/dependence binary and is a useful concept for making sense of the experiences young people with variations in sex characteristics in relation to healthcare. This study used semi-structured interviews with 32 health professionals, 33 caregive

‘Sufficiency’ has become a key term within sustainability science. The satisfaction of basic human needs for all and for multiple generations is only possible if coupled to the implementation of ecological ceilings that prevent wealthy groups from disproportionate production and consumption patterns and energy use. While much sufficiency research has focused on the poor and how to provide correspo

The chiral bile salt sodium cholate has been covalently linked to tetra-aryl-porphyrins, conferring them an extrinsic chirality and obtaining new molecules with high tendency to aggregate in solution. The chirality transfer from the molecular to the nano- and meso-scale has been investigated by promoting the self-assembly of the conjugates balancing the ratio of aqueous/organic solvent mixtures an

Introduction: Social media provides nurses with tools to share information, debate healthcare policy and practice issues, and engage in interpersonal interactions. Historically, also in Scandinavia, nurses’ trade unions have taken the lead in defining nursing as a profession and supporting nurses in ‘conducting good nursing’. However, it is unexplored how trade unions guide nurses in social media

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease globally, and can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a leading cause of cancer-related death. We aimed to determine the extent to which MASLD is an increasing cause of HCC in Sweden and to determine clinical characteristics associated with underlying MASLD. Using the Swedish quality re
