Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, affects 10–30 % of persons above 65 years old. Texture-modified, easy-to-swallow, puree-like food in the form of timbales is usually served to this group of patients. Due to the characteristics of timbale, its appearance only remotely reminds of the original ingredients, leading to reduced appetite, reduced nutrition intake, and even malnutrition. 3D food print

The introduction to the edited collection maps the overarching aims of the book, discusses the time frame and the geographical focus, and situates the book in a media historical research tradition on propaganda and persuasion. A key ambition with this volume is to advance a transnational approach to media history, highlighting how actors and institutions, ideas and practices, have been shaped by t

This chapter examines the media production of the US Office of War Information (OWI) in Stockholm, 1942–1945. While previous research has focused on the organization of OWI and the American view on war propaganda in Scandinavia, little emphasis has been placed on the actual production and circulation of American propaganda in Sweden during World War II. Drawing on previously neglected archival mat

Medan metoder för datadriven textanalys har utvecklats mycket under de senaste decennierna är det först nu som liknande metoder har börjat användas för att studera rörliga bilder. Detta kapitel utforskar möjligheterna med datorstödd analys av rörlig bild – såväl för att genomföra närläsningar som för mer storskaliga filmanalyser. Bland annat presenteras moderna annoteringsprogram, videoessäer och

Advanced maternal age and obesity are the main risk factors to develop gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Obesity is a consequence of the increased storage of triacylglycerol (TG). Cytosolic and lysosomal lipid hydrolases break down TG and cholesteryl esters (CE) to release fatty acids (FA), free cholesterol, and glycerol. We have recently shown that intracellular lipases are present and active

While sensory perception is currently receiving quite a lot of attention across disciplines, little empirical research has focused on how people describe auditory experiences. Research on the representation of sound in fiction narratives has shown that sounds are frequently conceptualized as events whose descriptions are instantiated in domains other than sound proper, as in strong men banging the

This chapter provides an overview of the multi-faceted landscape of methods used to study the steering effects of the Sustainable Development Goals. After a discussion of the political use of science and the complex relations between science and politics, the chapter showcases a selection of different methods that are employed to trace the steering effects of the Sustainable Development Goals. Sel

The paper conceptualizes, via the notion of brand movement, the process in which consumers-citizens turn to brands to deal with political frustrations and in which brands have the power to channel, coordinate, and mobilize these consumers.

This work is concerned with determining optimal sensor placements that allow for an accurate location estimate of structured signal sources, taking into account the expected location areas and the typical range of the parameters detailing the signals. In the presentation, we illustrate the technique for tonal sound signals, exploiting the expected harmonic structure of such signals. To determine p

Patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) may undergo pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) after initial full repair. We investigated indices of biventricular function, work and efficiency of TOF patients' using noninvasive pressure-volume (PV) loop analysis on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images and compared pre-and post PVR groups. Biventricular segmentations of steady state free precessio

Contemporary research and teaching on global environmental politics (GEP) draw upon many approaches to understanding the ways in which states and societies respond to transboundary environmental problems (see Chapter 2). Approaches that emphasize the state (see Chapter 7) and international organizations (see Chapter 8) derive in a straightforward way from scholarly work in international relations
