The fact that Jesus was a man is claimed to be problematic from a feministic standpoint. One aspect of what is problematic is that the conception of Jesus as the Christ, representing God, makes the connection between men and God closer that that between women and God. In terms of religious proximity men are given a higher degree of religious proximity and therefore also religious authority by mean
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det här arbetet handlar om simuleringar av porösa material och transportfenomen vid en mesoskopisk längdskala, det vill säga en längdskala större än en enskild atom men mindre än att alla atomer beter sig som en kontinuerlig enhet. De porösa material som har studerats är membran som används i bränsleceller. Masstransport har även studerats i membranet. Värme- och masstrThe topic of this work is simulations of porous materials and transport phenomena at a mesoscopic length scale, i.e., a length scale larger than an individual atom but smaller than the continuum. The porous material studied is a membrane used in fuel cells. Mass transfer has also been studied in the membrane. Heat and mass transfer has been studied in parallel plate channels, first in saturated ch
The classification of diseases has several important applications ranging from diagnosis and choice of treatment to demographics. To date, classifications have been successfully created manually, often within international consortia. Some groups of diseases, such as primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs), are especially hard to nosologically cluster due, on one hand, to the presence of a wide variety o
This article presents a reading of two Greek Marian hymns written in the centuries after the Ephesus Council: the Annunciation Hymn by Romanos the Melodist, which is the earliest extant Annunciation hymn we have, and the well-known Akathistos Hymn. Many scholars believe the latter to be a fifth century composition, and not – as have been claimed by such important scholars as Constantinos A. Trypan
Radio for everyone? Passages in English and other languages in Swedish publicservice radioThis article focuses on Swedish public service radio (Sveriges Radio, SR) and howinterviews in languages other than Swedish are given in SR. In the article, the result of a close analysis of 42 hours of broadcasting from SR is presented. All in all, a dozen languages are identified; however, English clearly d
Radiocarbon dating is the gold standard in archeology to estimate the age of skeletons, a key to studying their origins. Many published ancient genomes lack reliable and direct dates, which results in obscure and contradictory reports. We developed the temporal population structure (TPS), a DNA-based dating method for genomes ranging from the Late Mesolithic to today, and applied it to 3,591 ancie
False positive recall is a major issue in breast cancer screening and the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) might affect which women who are unnecessarily recalled. We have investigated how an AI system works on false positive recalls at screening and compared with radiologist findings. Two-view digital mammography (DM) examinations from 656 recalled women (136 with screening detected c
In the search for efficient test methods for distributed real-time systems, an experiment is conducted that investigates the impact on the lead-time required to identify, a defect, depending on what information is available. One group of experiment participants were given a system monitoring trace, while a control group were given node monitoring traces. The information made available in the two s
Length-based separation of DNA remains as relevant today as when gel electrophoresis was introduced almost 100 years ago. While new, long-read genomics technologies have revolutionised accessibility to powerful genomic data, the preparation of samples has not proceeded at the same pace, with sample preparation often constituting a considerable bottleneck, both in time and difficulty. Microfluidics
Backround: During the last decades, outbreaks of foodborne illnesses have increasingly been linked to fresh and/or minimally processed fruit and vegetables. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli was the causal agent for major outbreaks in Europe with leafy green vegetables and sprouts. To improve food safety, microbial antagonism has received attention during recent years and could be one of the solu
Background: This study aimed to determine the robustness of the impact of immigration on risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD) using different measures, designs, and immigrant regional cohorts. Methods: The analytic sample included all individuals born between 1950 and 1990 and registered in Sweden from 1973 to 2017. Using Cox regression models, we examined the risk for AUD from Swedish nationwide r
Context. The bar pattern speed of the LMC has been computed based on data from Gaia DR3 using three different methods. One method suggested that the LMC might be hosting a bar that barely rotates, and is slightly counter-rotating with respect to the disc of the LMC, with a pattern speed of Ωp = −1.0 ± 0.5 km s−1 kpc−1. Aims. We aim to confirm that tidal interactions might prevent the bar hosted by
Ti-6Al-4V alloy obtained by powder metallurgy (PM) is a good candidate biomaterial in the manufacture of dental implants but its inherent porosity makes it have worse corrosion behavior than conventionally obtained alloys. In order to improve the corrosion and biological properties, surface modification technologies could be used. The plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process is a novelty proces
This study examined the prevalence, stability, and fluidity of sexual orientation as well as the prevalence of gender discontent. From a community sample (i.e., all adolescents of the age cohort were invited), this study analyzed data from 1513 adolescents (50.5% females), who replied to questions about sexual attraction on at least one of three occasions (age 14: n = 623; age 15: n = 1322; and ag
PARP15 is a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase that targets an unknown set of proteins as well as RNA. Its evolutionary relationship with PARP14 suggests roles in antiviral defence; its localization to stress granules points to functions in the regulation of translation. Here we show that the transferase domain of PARP15 dimerizes in solution; the formation of dimers is a prerequisite for catalytic activ
Beijing is particularly prone to frequent wintertime haze episodes. In this study, we introduce the FLEXPART (FLEXible PARTicle dispersion model) and SOSAA (the model to Simulate the concentration of Organic vapors, Sulfuric Acid, and Aerosols) modeling system for air quality analysis and applied the newly developed modeling system to a severe pollution episode during a case study in Beijing in No
The purpose of this short report is to introduce a branching random walk in random environment on $Z^d$ where particles perform independent simple random walks and branch according to a law that is obtained by fixing branching numbers at each point of $Z^d$. These numbers represent a realization of an integer-valued random field on $Z^d$ with the value at each point being independent of those at o
Mobile genetic elements such as conjugative plasmids are responsible for antibiotic resistance phenotypes in many bacterial pathogens. The ability to conjugate, the presence of antibiotics, and ecological interactions all have a notable role in the persistence of plasmids in bacterial populations. Here, we set out to investigate the contribution of these factors when the conjugation network was di
Glaciers are one of the main sources of freshwater in cold regions. The glacier melting process can significantly impact the glacier mass balance (GMB) and contribute a large amount of runoff in cold regions. This study applied the recently developed semi-distributed glacio-hydrological conceptual model (FLEXG) to understand the glacier melting process and the effect of topography on GMB in the To
