This thesis explores the potential and limitations of basalt fibre textile in the context of products within the commercial market. Due to its heat insulation capabilities, combined with its fire resistance, durability and eco-friendliness, basalt fibre is currently mostly utilized in construction. Hence, the material itself is rarely visible to the user, but hidden behind drywalls or buried in co
In both second language acquisition research and teaching, there is a need for practical, reliable and valid proficiency tests to be used with learners of various target languages and at different proficiency levels. In the present study, a written proficiency test based on the C-test methodology was developed and tested on 144 Swedish 15-year-olds studying French, German, and Spanish in lower sec
The article analyses strategies developed by Ukrainians who arrived in France since 2022 and who have to deal with the difficult real estate market trying to find a place to live. Going beyond the structuralist framework, the authors investigate subjective motivations and attitudes that combine with structural factors to produce different strategies of adaptation to the French housing market. Thes
Abstract in French:L’article part d’une énigme empirique : le cas d’une usine de petite taille dans une ville industrielle ukrainienne semble contredire tout ce qu’on savait sur le paternalisme industriel et les attitudes contestataires des ouvrier·e·s dans ce pays. Contrairement aux grandes entreprises de la même ville, cette usine jouit de la paix sociale sans avoir à la garantir avec le « salaiThis article begins with an empirical puzzle: the case of a small factory in an industrial Ukrainian city appears to contradict everything we thought we knew about industrial paternalism and workers’ contestatory attitudes in the country. Unlike the large companies in the same city, this factory enjoys social peace without having to guarantee it through a “social wage”. How does management succeed
More than 3500 samples of lichen genus Xanthoria s.l. were collected at 135 localities in the Baltic Sea–Kattegat area during 2022–2025. Of these, 177 were selected for phylogenetic analyses using ITS and mt-sequences. The phylogenetic tree of Xanthoria s.str. reveals 24 clades possibly corresponding to species, six of which are described, i. e. X. calcicola, X. coomae, X. ectaneoides, X. pedersen
This chapter examines the organizational dynamics of social media-based new crisis initiatives that emerged in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular focus on their communication. Drawing on empirical case studies, the authors explore how these loosely structured grassroots initiatives mobilized resources, coordinated action, and maintained engagement. The study highlights the centra
I år är det 30 år sedan Sverige blev medlem i EU. Därmed är det också 30 år sedan Sverige anslöt sig till EU:s två språkpolitiska mål om lärande av främmande språk och skydd av minoritets- och regionalspråk. Det kan emellertid konstateras att dessa båda mål gått olika öden till mötes i Sverige. Medan minoritetsspråkens ställning har stärkts har hållningen kring främmande språk varit vacklande. Ett
Symmetric informationally complete measurements are both important building blocks in many quantum information protocols and the seminal example of a generalized, non-orthogonal, and quantum measurement. In higher-dimensional systems, these measurements become both increasingly interesting and increasingly complex to implement. Here, we demonstrate an integrated quantum photonic platform, operatin
The biogeographical origin of Betonica officinalis L. in Sweden has long been debated as to whether its populations represent natural postglacial relicts or human introductions. Using RADseq data from 42 individuals across 35 sites in 14 European countries, we analysed 9,598 SNPs to map genetic structure and infer relationships among regions. We found strong differentiation between western and cen
Acute myeloid leukemia is a genetically and cellularly heterogeneous disease. We characterize 120 AMLs using genomic and transcriptomic analyses, including single-cell RNA sequencing. Our results reveal an extensive cellular heterogeneity that distorts the bulk transcriptomic profiles. Selective examination of the transcriptional signatures of >90,000 immature AML cells identifies four main cluste
BackgroundDespite the high morbidity and severe consequences of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), current treatments remain inadequate, lacking efficacy and the ability to target the microbial and inflammatory components of EB wounds. In this first-in-human open-label, single-arm study—part 3 of a 3-part Phase 1 clinical trial—we examined the safety, tolerability, and systemic exposure of topically appl
INTRODUCTION: Survival and healthcare for patients with congenital heart disease have improved, and the number of pregnancies among women of childbearing age with congenital heart disease has increased. Our aim was to investigate obstetric outcomes in a large retrospective, national registry study of women with congenital heart disease compared to controls.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included
Entanglement is a key feature of quantum mechanics1–3, with applications in fields such as metrology, cryptography, quantum information and quantum computation4–8. It has been observed in a wide variety of systems and length scales, ranging from the microscopic9–13 to the macroscopic14–16. However, entanglement remains largely unexplored at the highest accessible energy scales. Here we report the
Det övergripande syftet med denna undersökning har varit att bredda bilden av Jon Fosse som dramatiker, genom att pröva hans pjäser mot ett perspektiv från den kritiska teorin – nämligen det utopiska, såsom det formulerats av Theodor W. Adorno och Ruth Levitas. Mer specifikt handlar det om att utforska negationen och dess utopiska potential i följande fem teaterstycken av Jon Fosse: Nokon kjem tilA general purpose of this study has been to refine the image of Jon Fosse as a playwright. The way to approach this has been to examine his plays from a perspective from critical theory – namely the utopian, as formulated by Theodor W. Adorno and Ruth Levitas. More specifically, the task has been to explore the negation and its utopian potential in the following five plays by Jon Fosse: Nokon kjem
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is commonly used in the conservation of wooden artifacts, but its presence adversely affects the accuracy of radiocarbon dating. It is therefore critical to have robust methods for the removal of PEG from heritage materials. This paper presents the results of an experiment designed to test a protocol for the removal of low molecular-weight PEG-400 from conserved wood. We
BACKGROUND: Prediction models for sentinel lymph node (SLN) status could potentially substitute surgical axillary staging in patients with early breast cancer. Several imaging modalities have been used with various feature extraction and selection approaches. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate prediction models for SLN status based on breast imaging in patients with early b
