En studie av binaritets- och språkkritik i Nikanor Teratologens två första romaner. Med utgångspunkt i framförallt groteskteori undersöks hur binariteter brukas och destabiliseras i romanerna, samt hur detta går att relatera till litterär och idéhistorisk kontext: introduktionen av dekonstruktion och poststrukturalism i svensk litterär offentlighet under 1980-talet. Stort fokus läggs på verkens de

Nanochains (NCs) made up of a one-dimensional arrangement of magnetic anoparticles (NPs) exhibit anisotropic properties with potential for various applications. Herein, using a novel self-assembly method we directly integrate single NCs onto desired substrates including devices. We present a nanoscopic analysis of magnetization reversal in 1D linear NP arrays by combining x-ray microscopy, magnet

Policies that facilitate sustainability transformations require knowledge about the dynamics of complex socio-ecological systems, including biophysical mechanisms and diverse human-nature relationships. Such a comprehensive evidence base can only be built by integrating multiple types of knowledges. Ontology, epistemology, and semantics are a well-established terminology to structure and facilitat

Background: Combination lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) after myocardial infarction (MI) achieves lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and better cardiovascular outcomes vs statin monotherapy. As a result, global guidelines recommend lower LDL-C but, paradoxically, advise treatment through a stepwise approach. Yet the need for combination therapy is inevitable as <20% of patients

Introduction: The rate of vaginal hysterectomies is declining globally. We investigated surgical techniques, outcomes, and costs in a large national cohort of benign hysterectomies with prerequisites for vaginal surgery. Material and Methods: A retrospective register-based cohort study with benign hysterectomies in the Swedish GynOp registry 2014–2023 (n = 17 804). Inclusion criteria were non-prol

Accurate accounting of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions and removals is central to tracking progress toward climate mitigation and for monitoring potential climate-change feedbacks. GHG budgeting and reporting can follow either the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change methodologies for National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (NGHGI) reporting or use atmospheric-based “top-down” (TD) inversions or pro

Background: SARS-CoV-2 remains globally circulating, yet post-pandemic comprehensive molecular, serological, and population-level immunity data from low-resource settings such as Ethiopia are limited. This study employed genomic surveillance with seroepidemiological assessment to characterize the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 among individuals presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe a

In Singapore, children’s education is often presented as “an overriding and all-consuming concern,” driven by intense competition for grades and school admissions (Waters, 2015: 290). However, the desire for academic excellence as a pathway to better lives is not as straightforward as it may seem. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with Singaporean families, this paper explores parents’ affective a

Viral hepatitis remains a global health concern, with growing recognition of the impact of hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), and herpesvirus-associated hepatitis, particularly in vulnerable groups. This narrative review from the ESCMID Study Group for Viral Hepatitis (ESGVH) summarizes recent advances and expert perspectives. For HAV, insights into viral evolution, epidemiology, an

This article explores how the humanities were imagined by UNESCO to contribute to their quest for improved international relations and worldwide peace. It analyses the negotiations on what role the humanities could play in diplomatic work by looking at the process that led to the founding of the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies (ICPHS/CIPSH) in 1949. Despite being ingrai

Charged Higgs bosons produced either in top-quark decays or in association with a top quark, subsequently decaying via (Formula presented), are searched for in (Formula presented) of proton-proton collision data at (Formula presented) recorded with the ATLAS detector. Depending on whether the top quark is produced together with the (Formula presented) decays hadronically or semileptonically, the s

This paper presents a measurement of jet-track correlations in photon-jet events, using 1.72 (Formula presented) of (Formula presented) data at (Formula presented) recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events with energetic photon-jet pairs are selected, where the photon and jet are approximately back-to-back in azimuth. The angular correlation between jets and charged-particle tracks with

Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major respiratory pathogen, causing around 650,000 deaths annually. Asignificant transmission pathway for IAV is via expelled respiratory aerosol. For successfultransmission via the aerosol route, IAV must remain infectious following transport from an infectedhost to a susceptible individual. Many environmental factors may affect IAV infectivity, includingambient relat

Background: Mammography screening programmes have been widely implemented across European countries over the past 40 years with the main aim to detect breast cancer earlier and thereby reduce breast cancer mortality. This study aimed to analyse and compare changes over time in breast cancer incidence, by stage at diagnosis, and breast cancer mortality across countries in relation to the timing of

A search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson H into new scalar or pseudoscalar particles that subsequently decay into b-quarks is presented. The search considers ZH production with several decay scenarios for the Higgs boson; first to a pair of identical scalars, H → 2a → 4b, second to a pair of scalars with different masses (ma1 < ma2), either directly, H → a1a2 → 4b, or via a longer decay chain

BACKGROUND: Early-life exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may impact the developing lungs and immune system and increase the risk of childhood asthma, but no studies have been conducted in a high-exposed population. The objective of this study was to estimate associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and childhood incidence of asthma and wheeze in Blekinge County, Sweden, whe

Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT) for patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) can be intensified by delivering 6 (6fx/w) instead of 5 (5fx/w) fractions per week. Randomized trials have demonstrated superiority for 6fx/w in patients treated without concurrent chemotherapy (CRT). This real-world analysis compares 6 vs 5 fx/w in LA-HNSCC all-comers, treated predominan

Metal joining remains an essential yet challenging process in manufacturing, particularly for components with small dimensions, multiplex, delicate geometries, or dissimilar metals, where conventional joining methods can be insufficient. Here, we introduce Gas Actuated Bonding (GAB), a novel joining method that employs gaseous melting-point-depressant (MPD) agents to induce a diffusion-active stat
