This dissertation investigates the reception of ancient Greek religion (and to some extent also renaissance Platonism) among contemporary Pagans in Greece - a phenomenon the author refers to as contemporary Hellenic polytheism. The study looks at how and why historical narratives and notions of Hellenicity are constructed by contemporary Hellenic polytheists. Furthermore it describes the contempor
As researchers we need to be relevant, not only to our peers, but also to external stakeholders. We need to make a societal impact. In this study we explore the extent and characteristics of the implications for external stakeholders identified in articles on Business Angels published in Venture Capital: An International Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance between 1999 and 2017. We identified 75 ar
Aim: To evaluate the frequency of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain among adolescents with a history of preterm birth compared to a matched control group. Methods: A group of 192 preterm-born adolescents was followed up at the age of 17-19 years and compared to matched controls. Self-report questionnaires included screening questions about TMD pain, chronic diseases, general health, depression
The topic of this paper is linear filtering of hidden Markov models (HMMs) and linear innovation form representations of HMMs. The possibility to represent the widely used HMM as a state space model is interesting in its own respect, but our interest also comes from subspace estimation methods. To be able to fit the HMM into the framework of subspace methods the process needs to be formulated in s
IRedan 1990 skrev teaterkritikern Leif Zern att ”Årets kritiska klyscha har med kraft hunnit etablera sig: berörd. Det går inte en dag utan att någon recensent påstår sig vara berörd eller oberörd”. Nästan 30 år senare är termen fortfarande en kraftfull kvalitetsmarkör i teaterdiskussionen. Det intressanta är att denna kvalitet, att beröras, ofta ses som ett så självklart kriterium på den goda tea
Background: The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway is observed to be constitutively activated in several malignancies including prostate cancer (PCa). In the present study, we investigated the expression of total STAT3 (tSTAT3) and two forms of activated phosphorylated STAT3 (pSTAT3
Teatern och skådespelaren har i olika sammanhang och under olika historiska epoker betraktats med misstroende och fientlighet. Man kan rent av tala om en historisk tradition av antipatier där teaterscenen och skådespelarens förvandlingskonst har misstänkliggjorts i egenskap av moraliska instanser. I denna tradition möts filosofer och religiösa moralister, men också teaterpraktiker med olika agendo
Background: Dermatitis caused by occupational contact allergy to rubber additives such as diphenylguanidine (DPG) in medical gloves is a hazard for healthcare workers. Both the duration of exposure to medical gloves and the number of gloves used per day vary. The use of alcoholic skin disinfectants before glove donning is mandatory. Objectives: To assess whether skin exposure to the rubber acceler
I Egypten har Islamiska statens (IS) uppdykande lett till en nödvändig religionsdebatt som spritt sig till sociala nätverk världen över. Motsvarande debatt ser vi inte bland muslimska företrädare här hemma.
Background: The outlook for patients with esophageal and gastric (EG) cancer remains poor. Hence, there is a compelling need to identify novel treatment strategies and complementary biomarkers. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) are putative biomarkers of response to immune-checkpoint blockade, but their
120 kristna mördades, 128 kidnappades, det genomförde 146 attacker mot kyrkor och 700 kristna familjer tvingades fly sina hem under 2013. Detta var priset för att Muslimska Brödraskapet utövade makten i Egypten under ett år. Ett högt pris för kristna i Egypten men kan inte jämföras med andra länder i regionen.
Background: The relationship between schizophrenia and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has already been established. This study aims to investigate the difference in length of in-hospital stay (LoS) between a population with schizophrenia and a psychiatric healthy control (PHC) population following admission for a first ACS. Methods: Data for this retrospective study was collected from three nation
Introduction: Prehospital and hospital emergency care guidelines have been developed for patients with suspected hip fracture. Initial radiography can identify a number of patients with other injuries, generally pelvic fractures and hip contusions. Little is known about the prognosis for these patients. The aim of this study is twofold: i) to investigate the injury pattern of patients assessed in
We introduce the Szegő class, Sz(E), for an arbitrary Parreau–Widom set E ⊂ ℝ and study the dynamics of its elements under the left shift. When the direct Cauchy theorem holds on ℂ\E, we show that to each J ∈ Sz(E) there is a unique element J′ in the isospectral torus, T E
