This chapters looks at the Swedish financial revolution in a long-term perspective. It begins with the establishment of the first formal financial organization, the Stockholm Banco in 1656, and follows the financial development until the end of the nineteenth century. The development of each part of the financial system is described in relation to the financial, economic, and political development

The adult adaptive immune system is comprised of a wide spectrum of lymphocyte subsets with distinct antigen receptor repertoire profiles, effector functions, turnover times and anatomical locations, acting in concert to provide optimal host protection and self-regulation. While some lymphocyte populations are replenished by bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through adulthood, others eme

This text sheds light on the delicate practice of including different religious as well as nonreligious expressions in a shared room. The effects of design decisions in a “room of silence” at a Swedish hospital are studied over a transitional period of renovation of the space. We observe the impact of materiality in the room’s establishment, renovation, and usage, and show how the room’s interior

We explore the multiphase structure of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) probed by synthetic spectra through a cosmological zoom-in galaxy formation simulation. We employ a Bayesian method for modelling a combination of absorption lines to derive physical properties of absorbers with a formal treatment of detections, including saturated systems, and non-detections in a uniform manner. We find that i

Using hydrodynamical simulations of entire galactic discs similar to the Milky Way (MW), reaching 4.6 pc resolution, we study the origins of observed physical properties of giant molecular clouds (GMCs). We find that efficient stellar feedback is a necessary ingredient in order to develop a realistic interstellar medium, leading to molecular cloud masses, sizes, velocity dispersions, and virial pa

Peripheral blood lymphocytes from healthy, HIV sero-negative blood donors have been in vitro immunized using penv9, a recombinant fragment of the envelope of HIV-1. This primary in vitro immunization followed by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformation and somatic cell fusion subsequently gave rise to several specific anti-penv9 monoclonal antibodies (MO28, MO30 and MO43) of μ isotype. The hybridom

Surface plasmon resonance, i.e. detection of changes in refractive index on a surface, was used in a biosensor to evaluate the dissociation/association rate and affinity constants of human monoclonal IgG and IgM antibodies and Tab fragments. The results showed that an observed difference in affinity constants between intact and fragmented IgG anti-tetanus antibody was related to approximately 10-f

This chapter examines the institutional dimensions of religious responsesto forced migration in contemporary Georgia. It focuses on the internallydisplaced population of Georgia from the two breakaway territories ofAbkhazia and South Ossetia/Tskhinvali region to further scrutinise howmajor religious organisations respond to the signifijicant migration crises onthe level of policy and discourse. The

The European Union has a low-carbon roadmap that aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions toprevent further climate change and achieve climate-neutrality by 2050. Many of the historical buildings that wehave today will still be around in 2050. Hence, there is a need to improve their energy performance. A way to dothis is to use hemp-lime as a material for renovation. Hemp shiv, the woody core par

BACKGROUND: Emergency department (ED) crowding causes increased patient morbidity and mortality. ED occupancy rate (OR; patients by treatment beds) is a common measure of crowding, but the comparability of ORs between EDs is unknown. The objective of this investigation was to investigate differences in ORs between EDs using staff-perceived workload as reference.METHODS: This was a national cross-s

Abstract in ItalianUn’accesa e radicale tensione nelle scienze cognitive è quella tra il cognitivismo e il cosiddetto approccio delle quattro E (Embodied, Enactive, Embedded e Extended). La mancanza di una riflessione aperta e sostanziale sul lavoro teorico ed empirico proposto dall’approccio opposto appare problematica da entrambe le parti. Il presente contributo analizza a fondo le evidenze empiIn philosophy and cognitive science, the tension between cognitivism and the 4E-Cognition approach is both deep and polarizing. A lack of serious engagement with the theoretical and empirical work generated by the opposing framework seems problematic on both sides. In this paper, we closely discuss data on early socio-cognitive development produced by an influential nativist current of thought in

By conducting an online ethnographic study of the unofficial propaganda narratives posted on Facebook by Swedish women affiliated with the Salafi-jihadi movement, Dr Henriette Frees Esholdt explores and analyses the female-specific attractions of Salafi-jihadism within a Swedish context in Chapter 4. In addition to the promotion of Sharia law, gender segregation, as well as the maintenance of a pa

Pitch and voice quality are increasingly understood as closelyintertwined. While Swedish and Norwegian word accents have traditionally been understood in terms of pitch, Danish stød, which is systematically related when it comes to distribution and function, has been described as a type of creaky voice. According to the Laryngeal Articulator Model (LAM), both pitch lowering and creaky or harsh voi
