Drawing upon earlier studies of reforms and institutional changes in higher education, the purpose of this paper is to trace how the understanding of accountability has changed over the past twenty years and how it is understood to have impacted on higher education institutions. We do so by reviewing more than 350 papers and by asking three questions: Who answers to whom? For what are they answeri

The first member of the pleuromutilin (PLM) class suitable for systemic antibacterial chemotherapy in humans recently entered clinical use, underscoring the need to better understand mechanisms of PLM resistance in disease-causing bacterial genera. Of the proteins reported to mediate PLM resistance in staphylococci, the least-well studied to date is Sal(A), a putative ABC-F NTPase that-by analogy

Air pollution is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but its role in the development of congestive heart failure (CHF) and the role of different pollution sources in cardiovascular disease remain uncertain.MethodsParticipants were enrolled in the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort in 1991–1996 with information on lifestyle and clinical indicators of cardiovascular disease.

Arctic observing and data systems have been widely recognized as critical infrastructures to support decision making and understanding across sectors in the Arctic and globally. Yet due to broad and persistent issues related to coordination, deployment infrastructure and technology gaps, the Arctic remains among the most poorly observed regions on the planet from the standpoint of conventional obs

Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Metabolic changes are associated with HD progression, but underlying mechanisms are not fully known. As the IKKβ/NF-κB pathway is an essential regulator of metabolism, we investigated the involvement of IKKβ, the upstream activator of NF-κB in hypothalamus-specific HD metabolic ch

Data-independent acquisition-mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) is the method of choice for deep, consistent, and accurate single-shot profiling in bottom-up proteomics. While classic workflows for targeted quantification from DIA-MS data require auxiliary data-dependent acquisition (DDA) MS analysis of subject samples to derive prior-knowledge spectral libraries, library-free approaches based on in silic

Electric buses can improve the environmental performance of public transport. Yet, introducing electric buses brings novel challenges, such as requirements for operational changes, new forms of institutional collaboration, increased investment costs and technological concerns. This paper investigates these challenges and strategies for managing them by comparing experiences of electric bus impleme

BACKGROUND: A patient received enoxaparin sodium subcutaneous injections for prophylaxis after surgery and developed inflammatory skin reactions on injection sites on Day 5 after the first administration. Patch test was performed with baseline series and low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) at different concentrations and showed positive reactions to neomycin and LMWHs. Cross-reactivity between n

This paper summarizes my dissertation. I have analyzed the emergence, establishment and expansion of fear of crime research in Sweden, shared some key results and discussed theoretical implications of these results.

Humans have an inquiring mind. Throughout history, one may find documentation that shows on human curiosity, and our drive to stretch boundaries to satisfy it. Thus, this is not something that characterizes our time in any particular way. Sources, for instance, from the 13th century can serve as good examples that support such an assumption. Mary Shelley’s novel from the 19th century, “Frankenstei

Hermeneutik, vetenskapen om tolkning, förknippar vi kanske vanligen med textstudier, men begreppet har kommit att få en vidare betydelse inom fenomenologin genom filosoferna Heidegger och Gadamer på ett sätt som är relevant för det psykoterapeutiska arbetet. Syftet med denna essä är att fördjupa diskussionen om dialektiken mellan det tolkande jaget och den andre, och spegla den mot en psykoterapeu

The Plot Against America is a 2020 American tv-series, created by David Simon and Ed Burns. It consists of six, one-hour long episodes and was produced by Home Box Office. The series is an adaptation of Philip Roth’s 2004 novel. It is built on a counterfactual and para-fictional historical narrative, depicting the years 1940-42. Here, the hero pilot Charles Lindbergh becomes American president in

Calculating the electronic structure of systems involving very different length scales presents a challenge. Empirical atomistic descriptions such as pseudopotentials or tight-binding models allow one to calculate the effects of atomic placements, but the computational burden increases rapidly with the size of the system, limiting the ability to treat weakly bound extended electronic states. Here
