During decidualization in rodents, uterine stromal cells undergo extensive reprogramming to differentiate into distinct cell types, forming primary decidual zones (PDZs), secondary decidual zones (SDZs), and layers of undifferentiated stromal cells. The formation of secondary decidual zones is accompanied by extensive angiogenesis. During early pregnancy, besides ovarian estrogen, de novo synthesi

The FOCUS project is undertaking a range of research and piloting tasks which aim to improve understanding of dynamic integration and to assist the implementation of effective practices. As part of this work a detailed programme of qualitative research has been undertaken in four countries. This report presents the country-specific findings of this research, which will be further consolidated in a

This thesis work has focused on the platinum-tin surface, especially how it behaves when exposed to gases like oxygen and carbon monoxide. Platinum-tin is used as a catalyst for a range of reactions, including the oxidation of carbon monoxide at mild conditions, which is important for gas purification in fuel cells. The platinum-tin alloy has properties useful for the reactions it catalyses, but i

Color perception has been a traditional test-case of the idea that the language we speak affects our perception of the world. It is now established that categorical perception of color is verbally mediated and varies with culture and language. However, it is unknown whether the well-demonstrated language effects on color discrimination really reach down to the level of visual perception, or whethe

IntroductionThis paper focuses on retailing in vulnerable areas, which are commonly associated with segregation,crime, violence, and unsafety (Swedish Police Authority, 2023; Gerell et al., 2021). Less attention isusually paid to the conditions of retailing in these neighbourhoods. A well-functioning grocery storecan be a decisive factor in the attractiveness of an area and in making it safe. At t

In this narrative review, we survey recent empirical evaluations of AI-based language assessments and present a case for the technology of large language models to be poised for changing standardized psychological assessment. Artificial intelligence has been undergoing a purported “paradigm shift” initiated by new machine learning models, large language models (e.g., BERT, LAMMA, and that behind C

Anonymisation of assessments has been discussed for decades. It stems from a concern about unduly bias in assessment and grading. In Sweden, anonymised assessments were introduced in many universities a decade ago. It was rarely preceded by discussions on potential pedagogical consequences. Recent research on the effects of anonymisation does not confirm the hypothesis of reduced bias in grading.

Neural induction by cell-cell signaling was discovered a century ago by the organizer transplantations of Spemann and Mangold in amphibians. Spemann later found that early dorsal blastopore lips induced heads and late organizers trunk-tail structures. Identifying region-specific organizer signals has been a driving force in the progress of animal biology. Head induction in the absence of trunk is

The use of public space is an important part of women’s and men’s daily lives in cities and an important arena to promote social inclusion in cities. Public space consists of places for social encounter and exchange, places for political action and participation in public life and plays an important role as places for economic activities. This paper presents a case study of a neighbourhood in San

The article surveys the Medieval and Early Modern reception of two ancient Greek myths: the stories about the Phoenician princess Europe and her brother Kadmos. During the 12th - 17th century the interpretation of pagan myths flourished in Europe, justified by allegorical exegesis. The myths of Europe and Kadmos were viewed as disguised teachings containing historical, moral or religious truth. Fo
