The Mesoproterozoic Eon [1,600-1,000 million years ago (Ma)] is emerging as a key interval in Earth history, with a unique geochemical history that might have influenced the course of biological evolution on Earth. Indeed, although this time interval is rather poorly understood, recent chromium isotope results suggest that atmospheric oxygen levels were <0.1% of present levels, sufficiently low to
We now know that state formation experiences outside Europe were not merely attenuated or failed versions of the European experiences (Herbst, 2000; Hoffman, 2015; Johnson and Koyama, 2016). The diverse paths taken towards the modern state imply that existing knowledge on state formation processes can be enhanced by integrating the experiences of Africa and other developing regions. This dissertat
The stiffness assessment of the trackbed should include an assessment of ballast, subballast and formation (e.g sub-ballast depth, groundwater profile). Furthermore, a lack of a systematic monitoring brings to the impossibility to produce an effective long term track management system, by allocating budget where emergencies come. Consequently, there is an increasing importance in obtaining a consi
Ecological compensation is the latest member of a growing family of concepts aimed at reducing degradation of environmental quality. This and other concepts of the family – like ecosystem services, green infrastructure, and nature-based solutions – have been subject to a range of different interpretations and subsequent implementation practices. The result is a complex governance system with uncle
Importance: Drug company payments to health care organizations can create conflicts of interest. However, little is known about such financial relationships, especially outside the United States.Objective: To examine the concentration and patterns of drug company payments to health care organizations in the United Kingdom.Design, Setting, and Participants: This cross-sectional study examined nonre
Despite high gender equality ratings, Sweden shows a high prevalence of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). Suggested factors underlying this apparent paradox include backlash effects against women's empowerment. This study explores stories of backlash in interviews with 23 IPVAW survivors in Sweden. Thematic analysis identified categories of narrative segments referring to phenomena
AIMS: The Uppföljningsprogram för cerebral pares (CPUP) Hip Score distinguishes between children with cerebral palsy (CP) at different levels of risk for displacement of the hip. The score was constructed using data from Swedish children with CP, but has not been confirmed in any other population. The aim of this study was to determine the calibration and discriminatory accuracy of this score in c
This book examines gender and the dynamics of social change in contemporary Iran, documenting the changes in women's lives and showing how women now have become agents of social change rather than victims. Bringing together the detailed primary research of a number of eminent scholars working in Iran, this collection provides unique perspectives on the past decade in Iranian society and explores t
This book is the result of a conference, "Gender and Development - New Theories and Discourses: Theorizing Gender Continuity and Change in the Interface between Local Societies and Global Economic Transformation, held in 1993 with of thirty feminist researchers active in Swedish Universities. This book explores gendered relations of power and their consequences: inequalities. Starting with the mat
Species of the Mycobacterium avium complex display two main colony morphologies, smooth transparent (SmT) and smooth opaque (SmO), where SmT is associated with human disease and antimicrobial resistance. Previous studies have suggested that smooth bacteria can reversibly switch between the transparent and opaque forms, but the mechanism underlying morphotype transition has remained unknown. Using
International development cooperation is undergoing a transformation, driven by the urgent need for more effective, holistic approaches to address enduring global challenges. This thesis explores the paradigmatic shift towards complex adaptive systems (CAS) thinking in Swedish bilateral development cooperation project management, in response to these challenges. This shift mirrors a broader evolut
Artikeln bygger på en utvärdering som gjordes 2021-2022 när den brottspreventiva metoden SafeGrowth testades i området Drottninghög. Artikel utgår från ett polisperspektiv och visar på möjligheter med metoden, men också svårigheten att implementera en metod utvecklad i en specifik kontext, i andra miljöer.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Low socioeconomic status is associated with increased incidence of stroke. This study investigated stroke incidence, recurrence, and case-fatality after stroke among middle-aged Swedish men and women and whether this association differs by gender or stroke subtype. METHODS: A total of 69 625 (49% men) citizens, aged 40 to 65 years, living in the city of Malmö in 1990 were s
Sociala medier har förändrat förutsättningarna för social interaktion. Idag spelar sociala medier en viktig roll i användares sociala liv, men betendet på sociala medier skiljer sig dock från hur människor beter sig i den fysiska världen. Användare tenderar att dela mer privat information på sociala medier än vid social interaktion i den fysiska världen, och ett resultat av detta är att gränsen meSocial media has changed the way in which we interact. Today social media plays an important role for users in their daily social life, though the social media behavior differ from how we behave in the real world. People tend to share more private information on social media than in real life interactions. As a result of this the border between peoples privateand public sphere is transforming. Fac
This chapter analyses humour from an emotion sociological perspective, linking humour to power, status, and group solidarity. It draws from about 300 observed trials and interviews with 43 judges and 41 prosecutors from four Swedish districts courts. Humour is sometimes skilfully used as a strategy to ease tension, relieve boredom or to reprimand. It is initiated/allowed by the judge, but high-staThis chapter analyses humour from an emotion sociological perspective, linking humour to power, status, and group solidarity.

BackgroundLong-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) given for at least 15 hours/day improves survival in patients with severe chronic hypoxemia. However, the recent REDOX trial showed that LTOT prescribed for 24 hours/day was not superior to 15 hours/day in terms of death, hospitalizations, or self-reported outcomes. We aimed to examine the cost effectiveness of prescribing LTOT for 24 versus 15 hours/day.M
Aducanumab, a human IgG1 antibody with plaque-clearing effects and modest clinical benefit, binds selectively to aggregated Aβ via the N-terminal region. Yet, the molecular details of how the antibody engages Aβ1-42 fibrils remain unresolved. Using magic-angle spinning NMR, we show that binding of aducanumab preserves the overall architecture of the Aβ1-42 fibril core while inducing significant st
