The human gliomas are the most common primary brain tumours. They are highly aggressive with a rapid fatal progression for the patient. The invasive growth pattern and inherent resistance to radiation and chemotherapy account for a lack of efficient therapies. Several novel therapeutic regimes are being investigated, but they have so far shown limited beneficial effects. The molecular heterogeneit
In this study, we investigate how eco-social attitudes are interlinked with various modes of political action aimed at preventing environmental change and promoting social welfare. Using multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis, we explore the links between attitudes and political action, and associated socio-political characteristics, in the case of Sweden. Our results show a three-nIn this study, we investigate how eco-social attitudes are interlinked with various modes of political action aimed at preventing environmental change and promoting social welfare.

Stable isotope analysis of plant remains recovered from archaeological sites is becoming more routine. There remains a lack of consensus, however, on how to appropriately select archaeological plant remains for isotopic analysis, how to account for differences in preservation and the effect of potential contamination, and how to interpret the measured isotope values in terms of the conditions in w
Quantitative analysis of large-scale political text data in the form of word embeddings has great potential for systematising differences between political parties. We examine the differences between embeddings obtained from speakers from the two competitors for the PM position in Sweden (Social Democrats and Moderates) over a 30-year period. The goal is to compare how off-the-shelf general pre-tr

This article draws on usability evaluations of a behavioural change intervention delivered as a web-based course. Special attention was given to usability as the course is directed at older adults aged 70 and above. Experiences from the usability evaluations in a lab environment and the real world, followed by stepwise refinements, can serve as examples of what must be considered in developing cou
Ecological intensification has been embraced with great interest by the academic sector but is still rarely taken up by farmers because monitoring the state of different ecological functions is not straightforward. Modelling tools can represent a more accessible alternative of measuring ecological functions, which could help promote their use amongst farmers and other decision-makers. In the case
The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism. It was Huxley’s firm belief that mankind needed a unifying system of thought that could motivate action and change. Transhumanism was also an attempt to unite a more traditional humanistic view of the human as containing some form of core essence The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism.

In this paper, we take a fresh look at the determination of the transition matrix for a homogeneous, biisotropic particle employing the Null-field approach. The condition for passivity of the material is discussed. In particular, we focus on some previously unproved properties of the Beltrami spherical vector waves, such as completeness, orthogonality, and linear independence, which are all instru
Businesses today need to recognize that they have to be fast at realizing and exploiting new competitive advantages before the opportunity is lost. Instead of the traditional focus on price and quality, there is a shift towards the delivery of value to customers. This is strongly connected to the reduction of downtime of production and high reliability. Here the spare parts supply chain plays an i
The purpose of this essay was to study and analyze which ethical problems civil servants that work with LVM (law of non-voluntary treatment for addicts) experience and their point of view at their work with LVM. Civil servants in this essay, refers to the workers at LVM-homes that treat the addicts and the investigators at social office for grownup addicts. The method used was qualitative intervie
Background: L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia is attributed to opposite activity changes mediated by D1 and D2 dopamine receptors in the two striatal output pathways. Whereas the causal role of direct-pathway D1 receptors is well established, the specific involvement of indirect-pathway D2 receptors in dopaminergic dyskinesias has remained elusive. Objectives: We used conditional knockout approaches in mi
When a child's parents are divorced or separated and violence has occurred between them, several problems can arise in custody cases. The purpose of this thesis is to study these problems and the possibilities to solve them. The first problem I study in this thesis is the different parties' rights which often rise in opposition to one other. These rights refers to the abused parent's r
The paper reviewed a collection of studies from 2015-2025 in Sweden on municipal organizational change, with the aim of discussing challenges and benefits during modern change processes and connecting it to previously existing theories. The results showed that there is some conflict between different governance models (mainly NPM and TBG), that TBG can be implemented differently in different munic
Godstransporter är en grundläggande förutsättning för samhällsekonomisk utveckling, näringslivets konkurrenskraft och tillgången till varor, men står samtidigt för en betydande andel av Sveriges växthusgasutsläpp. Att minska transporternas klimatpåverkan utan att hämma ekonomisk utveckling är därför en central utmaning. Ökad transporteffektivitet lyfts ofta fram som en nyckelstrategi, men dess potFreight transport is a fundamental prerequisite for socio-economic development, business competitiveness, and the availability of goods, while at the same time accounting for a substantial share of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing the climate impact of transport without constraining economic development therefore constitutes a central challenge. Improved transport efficiency is often hi
This article explores the longstanding connection between a local version of a widespread cultural phenomenon – sea and lake serpents – and the community that cares for it. Legends and observation narratives, memorates, from the seventeenth century onwards concerning this lake serpent are analysed. The study further discusses how these narratives constitute the best-known Swedish version of lake s
