It is becoming increasingly clear that we need an integrated approach to understanding and encouraging transitions towards a sustainable energy system. Current overall unsustainable ‘practices’ are locked into cultural, material, institutional and infrastructural settings. This limits the scope for individual choice and action. Even when actions are taken on individual or project level, they often

Popular Abstract in Swedish Framgångsrik strålbehandling av cancerpatienter kräver att man kan bestämma den absorberade dosen i patienten med stor noggrannhet. Bara några enstaka procents avvikelse i absorberad dos kan ha betydelse för det kliniska resultatet avseende både tumörutläkning och normalvävnadsreaktioner. För att beräkna den absorberade dosen i patienten används sofistikerade datorprogThe accuracy of dose calculations for various aspects of a treatment planning system (TPS) using an energy fluence beam modelling has been evaluated. The investigated TPS uses a beam model, which separates the energy fluence into a number of sources in the treatment head. The energy fluence components are transported towards the patient and, together with the scatter generated in the patient, yiel

BMP receptors determine the intensity of BMP signals via Smad1 C-terminal phosphorylations. Here we show that a finely controlled cell biological pathway terminates this activity. The duration of the activated pSmad1Cter signal was regulated by sequential Smad1 linker region phosphorylations at conserved MAPK and GSK3 sites required for its polyubiquitinylation and transport to the centrosome. Pro

To avoid the scaling of the number of qubits with the size of the basis set, one can divide the molecular space into active and inactive regions, which is also known as complete active space methods. However, selecting the active space alone is not enough to accurately describe quantum mechanical effects such as correlation. This study emphasizes the importance of optimizing the active space orbit

Enterococcus faecalis strain OG1RF and its (p)ppGpp-deficient mutants ΔrelA, ΔrelQ and ΔrelAΔrelQ were grown in biofilms and evaluated for growth profiles, biofilm morphology, cell viability, and proteolytic activity. E. faecalis lacking (p)ppGpp had a diminished capacity to sustain biofilm formation over an extended period of time, and expressed abundant proteolytic activity.

This article reflects on the video art-work "No Man... An Island" by Swedish artist Anna Brag, and on issues of representation of migration, visibility, and identity in television and other media.

PURPOSE: Pharmacologic doses of corticosteroid (CS) have been shown to ameliorate the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) preserving strength, pulmonary function and ambulation as well as reducing the incidence of scoliosis. However, there are serious side effects of CS, which may impact dose tolerance. The purpose of this study was to compare the magnitude of positive CS effects on p

In addition to the individual and family context, neighborhoods and communities are important for the individual life course and family transitions. We study how social neighborhoods in childhood influence fertility outcomes in adulthood. Theories focusing on motivation, aspirations and attitudes or peer influence generally predict that low-SES children living in high-SES neighborhoods benefit fro

Swedish mining is often envisioned as virtuous, as coinciding harmoniously with quests for sustainability and the cultural survival of indigenous Sami peoples. This chapter posits that Sweden’s sense of exceptionalism in mining is embedded in a colonial/extractive system of knowledge that fails to mention non-capitalist, anticolonial relationalities to nature and ways of life. The normalised statu
