A Capture-Recapture-based Ascertainment Probability Weighting Method for Effect Estimation with Under-ascertained Outcomes

Outcome under-ascertainment, characterized by the incomplete identification or reporting of cases, poses a substantial challenge in epidemiologic research. While capture-recapture methods can estimate unknown case numbers, their role in estimating exposure effects in observational studies is not well established. This paper presents an ascertainment probability weighting framework that integrates

Situation, non-categorisation and variation : conveying nonclusion through text and image

Nonclusion is aligned with Universal Design and involves a critical approach to the categorisation of people. Specifically, nonclusion resists categorisations of bodies/roles and does not come with predefined or presupposed limits in terms of who something is meant for. While UD and nonclusion generally target Design and Architecture, this article explores how nonclusion can be conveyed through te

'It's like someone is holding your hand, an invisible hand' : A grounded theory study of participation and personal recovery in Flexible Assertive Community Treatment

BACKGROUND: Participation in everyday life and personal recovery is often adversely affected for individuals with complex mental health needs. Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) is a recovery-oriented service targeting participation in everyday life and personal recovery and is thus important to understand from the perspectives of service users.AIM: To explore how service users experien

Assessing the Functionality of Common Agricultural Policy Payment Instruments in Mixed Forestry-Farming Regions

The EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been broadened over recent decades in response to evolving challenges faced by the EU and its farmers. It now claims to support not only food security and farmers’ incomes, but also transitioning to a green economy, conservation of biodiversity and climate action. We have evaluated to what extent four main types of CAP payment instruments form a cohesi

RadClim BSR – Towards a High-resolution Radar-based Precipitation Climatology for the Baltic Sea Region

Archived radar data has various applications, though it is often underutilised. Nevertheless, this information has the possibility to aid in the development of accurate and relevant climate adaptation tools, inform climate-resilient urban development strategies, and numerous other personal and societal applications. Our work in the RadClim Baltic Sea Region (BSR) project established the potential

Manfluencers and Young Men’s Misogynistic Attitudes : The Role of Perceived Threats to Men’s Status

Misogynistic attitudes have surged in the past few years and the “manosphere” – an online milieu promoting toxic and rigid masculinity norms – is often seen as an arena for spreading such ideas. Within the manosphere, manfluencers (i.e., male influencers who espouse misogynistic content and beliefs) are known for trying to persuade men to view women and feminism as a threat to their masculinity an

Donors we choose : race, nation and the biopolitics of (queer) assisted reproduction in Scandinavia

In the 2000s, same sex partnership laws, new reproductive technologies, and legislation rendering lesbian couples and single women eligible for state-funded assisted reproduction with donated gametes in the Scandinavian nations has resulted in significant changes in family formation. Drawing on two separate qualitative studies, this paper scrutinizes Scandinavia’s alleged progressive LGBTQ politic

Forest policy in Nordic countries : Expert opinions on future needs, uncertainties, and recommendations

There are broad calls in national and international forest policy processes for basing decision-making on the best obtainable scientific knowledge. Simultaneously, there is also a need to accommodate plural values and objectives people and society in general have associated with forests. An essential step for building an evidence base that accommodates pluralistic understandings is to capture info

Insurance Voting in the Centre: An Experimental Approach

Recent research suggests that to help their preferred coalition win an election, voters are willing to vote for a political party other than their preferred choice. In this field, voting for smaller parties under proportional representation is an under-studied feature. A crucial factor to estimate the chances for smaller parties is polls. In this study, we analyze the influence of opinion polls on

Plus(s) at(t) i skandinaviska — en minimal matris.

The word plus(s) can function as a conjunction in Scandinavian, and as such coordinate for example embedded clauses introduced by the subjunction at(t). However, one can also find examples of clauses introduced by plus(s) at(t) although not preceded by another at(t)-clause. These constructions, which represent a relatively new development in Scandinavian, are semantically similar to coordinations

Information management in industrial housing design and manufacture

Industrialized production of building components, or entire houses, reduces activities at the construction site to the assembly of parts and has the potential to increase productivity and reduce the design effort invested in every project. However, in order to realize all of the potential efficiency gains that use of predefined components could deliver effective, interoperable information manageme

'Arzteführerschule Alt-Rehse'--the main educational centre for promotion of Nazi medicine ideology in Germany during 1935 - 1943.

In Nazi Germany 1933-1945 the medical profession played an important role, not only within the health sector but also for ideological purposes. Some physicians committed criminal acts during the war, for example in concentration camps, and where later put on trial at the Nuremberg Trials in 1946-1947, some of them also sentenced to death. What is little known outside Germany is the existence of a

The Crisis of Care - Caring Against Crisis : Professional Responses to Austerity Politics in Female Dominated Welfare Professions

Capitalist crises, such as the current financial crisis, are also crises in the sphere of social reproduction, according to Fraser (2014). In the current phase of financialized capitalism, social reproduction is increasingly treated as a commodity. As many feminist- and gender scholars have showed, this has resulted in increased pressures on women’s labour. During the last ten years, the Nordic co

Networked authority and regionalised governance : Public transport, a hierarchy of documents and the anti-hierarchy of authorship

This paper is concerned with the authority of written documents and how these artefacts work as governance devices. Networked authority is introduced as a concept to elucidate how documents accumulate formal power in a collaborative process, where several formally independent but informally interdependent organisations together point out the direction of regional public transport planning in the f

White Skin, Black Fuel : On the Danger of Fossil Fascism

Two trends intersect in the present: rising temperatures and the rise of the far right. What happens when they meet? In recent years, the far right has done everything in its power to accelerate the heating: an American president who believes it is a hoax has removed limits on fossil fuel production. The Brazilian president has opened the Amazon and watched it burn. In Europe, parties denying the

A comparative study of the fatty acid profile of common fruits and fruits claimed to confer health benefits

This study aims to verify the nutritional value of the fatty acid (FA) profile of three fruits claimed to confer health benefits (goji berry, white mulberry, and cranberry), often referred to as “superfruits”, over three common fruits (banana, apple, and strawberry). Nineteen different FAs, ranging in concentrations between 0.018 and 9.4 mg/g dry sample were detected. Levels of very long-chained F
