This article examines changes in the repertoire of contention in Sweden during the crucial years of democratisation. Based on a dataset of applications to organise public marches in Stockholm 1887-1920, the study looks at the overall trends in the political use of demonstrations: which organisations applied to stage demonstrations and which organisations obtained permission from the authorities. T

The C programming language, while offering high performance and low-level control, is memory-unsafe. This makes it prone to programming errors that can result in serious software vulnerabilities and system instability. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of transitioning a large code base from C to a memory-safe alternative, specifically Rust, in the context of a large company in telecom

Studies investigating how the number of children in a family affects the parents or the children face problems because the variable of interestis endogenous in the model. The currently accepted solution to this problem is to use instrumental variables (IVs), for example, based on twin births. In this paper, I review and add to the critique of IVs based on twin births and show that that there are

The local average treatment effect (LATE) estimator has enabled a wide range of empirical studies that usenatural experiments to estimate causal effects from observational data. However, this empirical literature has overlooked a crucial assumption regarding the definition of the treatment—thepart of the stable unit treatment value assumption referred to asthe consistency assumption in epidemiolog

Plain Language Summary: What is the study about? Hemophilia A is a genetic bleeding disorder that causes bleeding for long periods because of lower than normal levels of factor VIII (FVIII), a protein that is important for blood clotting. FVIII replacement therapy is the typical approach to manage bleeds, but new and improved therapies are becoming widely available. Prophylaxis with the medication

Food safety is a public health concern worldwide due to an increased morbidity and mortality risk associated with the outbreak of food-borne diseases. This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitude, and food safety practices (KAP) among university students in northern Tanzania. This is interesting because it allows data to be collected for creating awareness on safety, sanitation, and quality of f

In response to the growing problems with e-scooter parking, Sweden introduced a comprehensive change in regulations concerning e-scooter parking regulation in September 2022. This study investigates the impact of these regulatory changes on e-scooter parking behaviour in Lund and Malmö, Sweden. Using Getis-Ord G∗hotspot analysis, we identified shifts in e-scooter parking patterns pre- and post-reg

Background: In this study, we further developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based method for the detection and quantification of tumours in the prostate, lymph nodes and bone in prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET–CT) images. Methods: A total of 1064 [18F]PSMA-1007 PET–CT scans were used (approximately twice as many com

Purpose of review Myocardial infarction survivors are at a high risk of a recurrent event despite receiving guideline preventive therapy. There is accumulated evidence that persistent atherosclerotic plaque inflammation contributes to this risk. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is widely recognized as a key factor in plaque inflammation and instability; however, no therapies that directly ta

Background During the last decade, evidence has emerged on selective glomerular hypofiltration syndromes (SGHS), defined by selectively reduced filtration of middle-sized molecules irrespective of kidney function and resulting in a low ratio between cystatin C- and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRcys/eGFRcr). We aimed to examine whether SGHS is a hallmark of premature k

EVs increase demand for critical raw materials (CRMs). Many of the CRMs are mined in just a handful of countries, raising security concerns among business and policymakers. Lithium is particularly precarious due to its high geographic supply concentration, high demand growth rate and few near term substitutes. This study conducts a bottom-up assessment of European lithium extraction projects. The

Bone contains diverse structures. In fast-growing large animals, fibrolamellar bone is formed first and is then gradually replaced by remodelled bone with secondary osteons. Using position-resolved X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence as a 2D multimodal microscopy technique, the nature of biomineral nanocrystals is investigated in bovine bone. Systematic spatial variations are found, for examp

This study explores the informal and formal collaboration networks of teachers in the United States and Sweden, focusing on how teachers construct their professional ego networks of trusted individuals for collaboration. Using Ecological Systems Theory (EST) with an emphasis on the microsystem, the research investigates how teacher ego networks are shaped by factors like experience, access to subj

We present a Raman study of axially heterostructured InP/InGaP nanowires (NWs) for tandem solar cells. The study is carried out using both microRaman spectroscopy (µ-Raman), and tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). The results obtained by both methods are compared. The results obtained with each one is supported by the simulation of the light/NW interaction using finite element methods. This si
