The present study centers on the experiences of female Bangladeshi migrants who have relocated to Sweden in recent years. I have endeavored to depict the process of their migration from Bangladesh and afterward integration into the Swedish labor market as an immigrant. In Bangladesh Regardless of professional status, women are expected to do housework. Bangladesh's prevalent religious values a
In parallel with the exponential increase in extractivism around the world, comes social movements resisting such processes and advocating for alternative forms of development. Extractivism - a mode of accumulation associated with capitalism - is problematic due to the socio-ecological destruction that is embedded in its logics. Opposition to extractivism has intensified and in many instances, wom
BACKGROUND: Although large studies and pooled analyses of individual patient data have demonstrated the safety of deferring coronary revascularization based on a nonischemic intracoronary pressure index result, conflicting findings have emerged in specific patient subsets and with varying follow-up. Thus, we conducted an updated comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the
Abstract in Polish:Artykuł omawia trzy skandynawskie filmy dokumentalne: Zaćmienie duszy (2000) fińskiej reżyserki Marji Pensali, Tankograd (2010) autorstwa Duńczyka Borisa Bertrama oraz Nadzy z Petersburga (2010) w reżyserii duńskiej twórczyni Ady Bligaard Søby. Każdy z dokumentów to portret wybranego miasta w Rosji i jego mieszkańców. Odwołując się do koncepcji takich jak „rosyjska dusza”, bytieThe article discusses three documentaries made since 2000 by Scandinavian filmmakers: the Finnish director Marja Pensala’s The Eclipse of the Soul (2000) and two films by Danish authors: Boris Bertram’s Tankograd (2010) and Ada Bligaard Søby’s The Naked of Saint Petersburg (2010). All the films are portraits of Russian cities and their residents. In my study, I draw on concepts such as the “Russia
The languages individuals speak have been observed to influence how they perceive and interpret certain aspects of the world, but the conditions that give rise to these effects are not always clearly defined. One way to address the issue is to examine specific task contexts in which language is likely to modulate perception. Building on this, the aim of the present study was to investigate the rol
This chapter shows that marital status has had a fairly consistent association with mortality over the entire twentieth century for men. Increasingly, this association was also found among women. Married men have a survival premium today, and the same was true in the past. For men, marriage has been associated with lower mortality throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century,
BACKGROUND: Calprotectin (S100A8/A9) is a pro-inflammatory mediator primarily released from neutrophils. Previous studies have revealed associations between plasma calprotectin, disease severity and in-hospital mortality in unselected COVID-19 patients.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess whether plasma calprotectin dynamics during the first week of intensive care are associated with mortality and functi
The pHrodo with an “off–on” response to the changes of pH has been widely used as a fluorescent pH probe for bioimaging. The fluorescence off–on mechanism is fundamentally important for its application and further development. Herein, the sensing mechanism, especially the relevant excited-state dynamics, of pHrodo is investigated by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy as well as quant
We provide an overview of current and possible future directions of Applied Statistics and explore choice of topics (e.g., Bioinformatics), paradigms and methodology. We also provide a tentative assessment of special problems arising in analysis of Indian data. Some priorities and need for special care in applied work are suggested, specially in the Indian context.
This chapter focuses on industrialization and family behavior during the twentieth century against the backdrop of economic and institutional change. It documents trends regarding marriage and fertility and union dissolution from a gender perspective, and explores the role of socioeconomic status (SES) for these processes. Findings confirm patterns regarding gender and family consistent with that
Do you ever hear a medical term (e.g., demoralization) and wonderwhy it wasn’ t discussed in medical school? Do you ever wonderwhether some words or concepts mean the same thing to all practitioners?If you have, then the following case vignette should provide theforum to discuss the evolution of some terms and help you decide how toapply them.
This paper discusses signal processing methods for speech extraction in use with voice communication applications such as personal digital assistants (PDA), mobile telephone terminals and personal computers. The user is distant from the device and thus the speech signal entering the device may be subject to reverberation and may be disturbed by background noise. The proposed structure consists of
School politics in Sweden has recently moved in a conservative direction, emphasising the importance of conventional school subjects, stronger teacher authority and more discipline in the classroom. At the same time, consensus on the utility of such measures is lacking in the school debate. The conservative approach is often criticised as misleading and behind the times in relation to contemporary
From a universal design perspective, products should attract both people with disabilities and other persons. Design of chairs has decisive importance for activity and independence of users with physical disabilities. In an experimental study aiming at an easy chair with universal design qualities, six able-bodied young adults were asked to position a wide range of photo-represented chairs, includ
