The paper combines a truthmaker semantics with a dispositional view of beliefs according to which they are dispositions of agents to act as if truthmakers obtain. This has a number of virtues in that it gives us (i) an exact semantics for belief reports; as well as plausible accounts of both (ii) epistemic closure and (iii) contradictory beliefs. In particular, it allows us to analyze knowledge in
Jerome of Stridon was one of the most important biblical exegetes in early Christianity. Analyzing letters as well as prefaces to biblical commentaries written by Jerome, this article discusses four criteria which he considered to be necessary for orthodox exegesis to take place: 1) education and learning; 2) studying the Scriptures as part of an ascetic lifestyle; 3) divine help; and 4) learning
Allergy, characterised by antibody responses of the IgE isotype, is a major health concern. The set of monoclonal human IgE used for studying the molecular mechanisms of allergies is limited. Single-cell sequencing offers opportunities to establish novel antibodies for researching, diagnosis, and treatment of allergies. We describe and exploit a pipeline for generating recombinant IgE directly fro
In recent years, Kalaallit Nunaat, as Greenland is known in Kalaallisut (Greenlandic), has come under ever intensifying scrutiny — featuring in debates about geopolitics, climate change and natural resources. As US interest in the island continues, the EU is now stepping into the fray, with Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, poised to visit Greenland and the wider Arct
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with a polybacterial dysbiosis devoid of a known pathogen. Here, we report that HS patients mount IgA and IgG responses against skin colonizers, notably Porphyromonas uenonis (Pu), a rare species selectively enriched in severe disease. In these patients, Pu foci are detected in the epidermis, surrounded by IgA deposits
This introduction to the In Focus section ‘Runaway Scandinavia’ provides background on the phenomenon of runaway and mobile screen production and presents the four short articles that follow. As the first joint effort to address this topic, the In Focus outlines, from a range of perspectives, how the region has become increasingly shaped by global production mobility, incentive-driven competition
Objective To compare longitudinal speech outcomes at ages 5 and 10 years in foreign-born and Swedish-born children with cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP ± L), and assess impact of cleft type, additional diagnosed conditions, sex, and age at completed primary palatal surgery.DesignLongitudinal, registry-based cohort study.SettingRegional public care university hospitals in Sweden.Particip
Denna studie undersöker hur samer har framställts i svenska historieläroböcker för gymnasiet under perioden 1970–2025. Syftet är att analysera hur språkbruk, innehåll och perspektiv har förändrats över tid samt att förstå dessa förändringar i relation till skiftande samhälleliga värderingar och politisk kultur. Studien bygger på ett omfattande källmaterial bestående av 52 läroböcker och kombinerarThis study examines how the Sámi have been represented in Swedish upper secondary school history textbooks between 1970 and 2025. The aim is to analyse changes in language, content, and perspectives over time, and to understand these shifts in relation to broader societal values and political culture. The study is based on an extensive body of source material consisting of 52 textbooks and combine
Accurate thermometry is essential for experiments in cryogenic environments, particularly those using dilution refrigeration to reach milli-Kelvin temperatures. In this thesis, the calibration range of a Cernox CX1050 sensor was extended below its nominal lower limit of 1.4 K. In addition, the response of RuOx sensors at different positions within the dilution refrigerator was examined to assess t
A particularly well-studied evolutionary model is the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, a cosmopolitan insect of ancestral southern-central African origin. Recent work suggests that it expanded out of Africa ∼9,000 years ago, and spread from the Middle East into Europe ∼1,800 years ago. During its global expansion, this human commensal adapted to novel climate zones and habitats. Despite much w
The aim of this international meta-analysis was to quantify the predictive value of BMI for incident fracture and relationship of this risk with age, sex, follow-up time, and BMD. A total of 1667922 men and women from 32 countries (63 cohorts), followed for a total of 16.0 million person-years were studied. 293325 had FN BMD measured (2.2 million person-years follow-up). An extended Poisson model
BackgroundPrimary care is key to early identification and referral of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Assessing eligibility for new anti-amyloid treatment may guide appropriate referrals and prevent overburdening specialized care. In this study we determined eligibility for anti-amyloid treatment in patients undergoing cognitive evaluation in primary care.MethodPatients were selected from
Care for older persons is a universal issue, but around 1900, new groups of wage-earners created a need for an age of retirement, forming a new era of institutional care. These old people’s homes were often charitable trusts, which required them to be seen as respectable to attract funding. Residents therefore faced a two-way contract: being offered dignified housing if they met societal standards
In multiple-planet systems, gravitational interactions of exoplanets could lead to transit timing variations (TTVs), whose amplitude becomes significantly enhanced when planets are in or near mean-motion resonances (MMRs), making them more easily detectable. In cases where both TTVs and radial velocity (RV) measurements are available, combined analysis can break degeneracies and provide robust pla
Flödescytometri som verktyg i dricksvattenproduktionens kvalitetssäkrande arbete Dricksvattenproducenter har flera metoder för att undersöka och kontrollera vattnets kvalitet. Den mikrobiella kvaliteten kan ta allt ifrån 18h till sju dygn att fastställa. Flödescytometri är en metod som har föreslagits som ett potentiellt alternativ eller tillägg till dessa metoder, och som erbjuder korta analystiQuality assurance is crucial for producers of drinking water, and several steps are taken to ensure a safe and aesthetically acceptable drinking water. Monitoring the microbiological quality of drinking water, both finished and within the drinking water treatment plants, is done through cultivation-based techniques. These techniques can take up several days before results can be seen, and quicker
