The essay aims at decoding the 1954 novel The Sound of Waves in relation to Mishima’s biography, political and aesthetic theory, arguing that his most serene artistic achievement is, in the end, a desperate self-deluding for various inner contradictions. In a minute hermeneutic approach the article identifies and interprets such defining issues as: suicide, loneliness, individualism, egoism, mater
Iris Marion Young presents a social connection model on which those, and only those, who participate in structural processes that produce injustice have a forward-looking responsibility to redress the resulting injustice by challenging the structures that produce it (she sometimes calls this a political responsibility [Young 2011]).

Higher music education (HME) in Europe is multifaceted due to the great variety of legal frameworks, conservatory histories and practices. However, following the Bologna declaration in 1999, traditional conservatories are gradually transforming into research-based institutions, which means combining advanced performer training with artistic research.

This chapter examines the legal regulation regarding administrative silence in Swedish administrative law. The main aim is to give an overview of the legal instruments to prevent and challenge administrative silence in Swedish administrative law and to identify any possible gaps or weaknesses in the system. Traditionally, the term ‘administrative silence’ is not used in Swedish administrative law;This chapter examines the legal regulation regarding administrative silence in Swedish administrative law.

During early literacy skills development, rhyming is an important indicator of the phonological precursors required forreading. To determine if neural signatures of rhyming are apparent in early childhood, we recorded event-relatedpotentials (ERPs) from 3- to 5-year-old, preliterate children (N = 62) in an auditory prime-target nonword rhymingparadigm (e.g., bly-gry, blane-vox).

AIMS: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, including in Sweden. The main aim of this study was to explore the temporal trends and spatial patterns of CVD in Sweden using spatial autocorrelation analyses.METHODS: The CVD admission rates between 2000 and 2010 throughout Sweden were entered as the input disease data for the analytic processes
The discovery that the CRISPR/Cas9 system could be used for genome editing purposes represented a major breakthrough in the field. This advancement has notably facilitated the introduction or correction of disease-specific mutations in healthy or disease stem cell lines respectively; therefore, easing disease modeling studies in combination with differentiation protocols. For many years, variabili
Background: Head computed tomography (CT) is a guideline recommended method to predict functional outcome after cardiac arrest (CA), but standardized criteria for evaluation are lacking. To date, no prospective trial has systematically validated methods for diagnosing hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) on CT after CA. We present a protocol for validation of pre-specified radiological criteria
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered ecosystem engineers, but the interactions of their mycelium with their immediate surroundings are largely unknown. In this study, we used microfluidic chips, simulating artificial soil structures, to study foraging strategies and habitat modification of Rhizophagus irregularis symbiotically associated to carrot roots. AMF hyphae foraged over long d
Apelin, a ligand of the APJ receptor, is overexpressed in several human cancers and plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis and growth in various experimental systems. We investigated the role of apelin signaling in the malignant behavior of cutaneous melanoma. Murine B16 and human A375 melanoma cell lines were stably transfected with apelin encoding or control vectors. Apelin overexpression
Chills and vomiting have traditionally been associated with severe bacterial infections and bacteremia. However, few modern studies have in a prospective way evaluated the association of these signs with bacteremia, which is the aim of this prospective, multicenter study. Patients presenting to the emergency department with at least one affected vital sign (increased respiratory rate, increased he
The Permanent Establishment (PE) concept plays a key role in the distribution of taxing rights between States by determining when the profits derived by an entity are taxable in a State other than the State of its residency. This concept, originally, evidenced the existence of sufficient economic allegiances between a non-resident entity and a State to justify taxation therein. However, the evolut
The focus of this thesis is the myths and ideologies inscribed into the aesthetics, narratives and gameplay of post-apocalyptic videogames. The aim is to discuss how the conditions and conventions of the game medium shape what is presented to us as a modern, secular form of apocalypticism. The case studies presented are the two well-known videogames Fallout 4 and The Last Of Us. The research focus
This thesis investigates the performance dynamics of serial acquirers in the Swedish market, specifically focusing on their ability to realize cost synergies over time. Through an empirical analysis of Swedish firms engaging in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) between 2010 and 2019, we aimed to determine whether serial acquirers exhibit improved synergy realization in subsequent acquisitions com
This study aims to contribute to the research field of public diplomacy and nation branding on social media. The study examines how Swedish government representatives communicated nation branding, reputation management and public diplomacy. The chosen time period was January 12th to February 3rd because two events took place in Sweden that evoked strong reactions from the outside world. The resear
This paper combines theory and data collected from a shadowing study to explore the role of communication and public relations practitioners in reputation management. In seeking to explore the role communication managers have on the reputation of a CEO and the corporate reputation, this study builds on the existing research on roles research and corporate reputation. The theoretical framework conn
