/08/ is an annual series of exhibitions organised by Alejandro Cesarco that take place while the gallery is closed for its summer break.This August /08/ presents an intervention by Patricia Esquivias on the gallery’s answering machine. Esquivias uses this space to host a micro-exhibition of her usual methods: pointing towards something forgotten, weaving together personal memory with public or off
This exhibition does not necessarily aim to narrate what has happened, nor to begin from scratch. The intention is rather to begin in the middle, in medias res. Or, “Half-way through the journey of our lives I found myself in a dark forest”, etc.The show has a lot to do with questioning being in midcareer. What does the shadow of ourselves that we have constructed over the years enable and frustra
Alejandro Cesarco’s “Album” (Leporello N° 11) presents the titles and durations of each of the songs that make up The Cure’s “Disintegration”, the band’s iconic album from 1989. Each song is listed on its own panel, as if they were images in a photo album.Admittedly, The Cure plays heavily in the soundtrack of Cesarco’s youth. These gloomy soundscapes further the artist’s investigation into quest
Group exhibition.Through a wide selection of artists and works from the MUSAC Collection, this exhibition seeks to explore the connections and relationships that contemporary art establishes when the vocabulary it employs in its creation reveals a process of creativity. It does so through two distinct groups: on the one hand, a selection of pieces whose formal austerity and economy of means contra
SUSTAINABILITY is increasingly framed as a task to be solved in and through cities, not least by planning and designing built environments that ‘nudges’ individuals towards sustainable ways of living. Realising visions of a sustainable urban future is thus at least partially dependent upon affecting individual and collective behaviors. So, what happens when coherent visions of sustainable urban de
Timely detection and surveillance of disease community spread is a potent tool for implementing effective public health interventions. This study investigates the National Telehealth Service (1177 helpline) across 18 regions in Sweden in 2020 to identify early signals of community transmission of COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic. Focusing on calls related to key COVID-19 symptoms (cough,
Transitioning towards a circular economy, where the existing building stock is more efficiently used, would significantly reduce material and energy use, emissions, and waste from the built environment sector. This study focuses on exploring what conditions are needed for circularity by imagining preferable circular futures for a 2035 timeframe and understanding the required actions to achieve the
We investigate differences in resource utilization between a multiprofessional team-based primary care practice and standard care for elderly patients with complex needs, from the perspective of different actors involved in healthcare delivery. The study is based on a mobile care team reform in a Swedish region, that spans across both organisational boundaries and different legislation. Our findin
Within the field of cell biology, an essential tool is to deliver molecules to cells to manipulate cell behaviour and function. This enables the study of, for example, how a specific change in a cellular process contributes to a disease state. However, cells have barriers, such as the cell membrane, that need to be overcome for the molecules to have an effect. Current transfection methods, such asWithin the field of cell biology, an essential tool is to deliver molecules to cells to manipulate cell behaviour and function.

With the introduction of its Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) in 2014, Sweden cemented its position as a normative leader on gender equality. In 2022, however, the new government rescinded the FFP. Based on interviews with EU Member State officials, we analyze how they perceive Sweden’s work with gender equality during as well as post FFP. Our results demonstrate that Sweden’s FFP was in general posi
Vi undersöker effekter på vetenskaplig produktion efter att Karlstad, Växjö och Örebro blev universitet 1999. Vi finner starka effekter på publikationsaktivitet bland den personal som var anställd, jämfört med likvärdig personal vid högsko-lor som inte fick universitetsstatus. Resultaten var koncentrerade till de som var registrerade som forskare före omvandlingen, bland män och starkast inom tekn
PURPOSE Childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) survivors of cancer are at risk of nephrotoxicity. Surveillance guidelines are important for timely diagnosis and treatment of these survivors, which could slow the progression to higher stages of kidney dysfunction. METHODS The International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group established a multidisciplinary panel of
Background: Rubber accelerators found in rubber gloves may cause contact allergy and thus allergic contact dermatitis. Objectives: To investigate which doses of tetraethylthiuram disulfide (TETD) elicit allergic contact dermatitis by patch testing and in a repeated occluded application test simulating glove use. Patients and Methods: A multicentre study was conducted. Eight patients with contact a
For many years, questions about the future have been marginalised within the social sciences: asking how we might live in a post-fossil society, or what are the key decisions and events that could take us there, has been seen as outside of the disciplinary scope. In this chapter – which takes as its point of departure the ‘speculative turn’ that is increasingly inspiring a range of works, from for
