Translation Studies has crossed a tumultuous interval of theorization. But has it passed the linguistic limits instituted by a semiotician like Umberto Eco? Wouldn’t be the time to access more courageously the intersemiotic interregnum with its heterogeneous transfer of signs? As it happens in advertising, concrete poetry, tattoos, and stage or filmed version of famous texts? If we have gradually
Testicular microlithiasis (TM) has been reported in up to 46% of men with testicular cancer. This has given rise to the suspicion that TM is a premalignant condition. In studies of healthy men there is, however, no association between TM and development of cancer. Nonetheless, patients with TM and contralateral testicular cancer, testicular atrophy, inhomogeneous parenchyma, infertility or a histo
Globalt sett lever 8 av 10 människor i miljöer där luftföroreningar i form av små luftburna partiklar ligger över riktlinjer satta av världshälsoorganisationen WHO. WHO uppskattar även att luftföroreningar ligger bakom 3.7 miljoner dödsfall varje år. Värst är det i delar av Asien, men även här i Sverige är luftkvaliteten ett problem; i Skåne t ex bedöms den genomsnittliga livslängden förkortas medAtmospheric aerosols affect climate, but to what degree still remains one of the largest uncertainties in global climate models. To improve the representation of aerosols in future climate models we need a greater understanding of aerosol processes. In this thesis the process-based model ADCHEM has been used and further developed to study aerosol processes. Specifically; new particle formation and
Objective: To study the long-term effects of a workplace intervention in addition to structured physiotherapy regarding self-reported measures in patients with acute/subacute neck and/or back pain. Design: WorkUp – a cluster-randomised controlled trial in 32 primary care centers in Sweden, from January 2013 through December 2014 (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02609750). Intervention: Structured physio
Förenta Nationernas Ekonomiska Kommission för Europas Konvention om tillgång till information, allmänhetens deltagande i beslutsprocesser och tillgång till rättslig prövning i miljöfrågor (Århuskonventionen) anses vara det essentiella rättsligt bindande instrumentet för skyddet av allmänhetens miljörelaterade rättigheter. Konventionen bygger på uppfattningen att processuella rättigheter i samband The United Nation Economic Commission for Europe’s Convention on access to information, public participation in decision-making, access to justice in environmental matters (hereafter the Aarhus Convention) is considered to be the main legally binding instrument protecting the public’s environmental rights. It is based on the idea that procedural rights relating to environmental matters should cont
Extensive anti-government protests were held in Poland in October 2020 related to accumulated social tensions due to COVID-19 pandemic among others. We attempt a question of how understanding communication patterns among protesters could possibly support epidemiological harm reduction campaigns. To do so, we analysed tweets in Polish language with hashtags: #Strajkkobiet representing pro-choice mo
Patent citations added by examiners are often used as indicators of technological impact and knowledge flows, despite various criticisms. In this study we analyze the distribution of examiner patent citations according to patent characteristics in order to show their limitations. According to our findings, the number of applicant citations included is dependent on the science-base of the technolog
Objectives: To develop and validate a new algorithm to identify patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and estimate disease prevalence using administrative health databases (AHDs) of the Italian Lombardy region. Design: Case-control and cohort diagnostic accuracy study. Methods: In a randomly selected sample of 827 patients drawn from a tertiary rheumatology centre (training set), clinically vali
Time domain reflectometry (TDR) has been proven to take accurate readings of the apparent dielectricconstant Ka and bulk electrical conductivity σa. These measurements have been used for estimations ofwater content (θ) and concentration of different chemicals. The concentration of an ionic pollutant ortracer can be estimated from the soil solution electrical conductivity σw. Several different cali
During the last two decades, applications of nonlinear dynamic and chaos theories to hydrologic systems and processes have been on the rise. Early applications of these theories focused mainly on the investigation and prediction of chaos in rainfall and river flow dynamics. Subsequent years witnessed their applications for other purposes (e.g. data disaggregation, missing data estimation, reconstr
Den här studien handlar om körsång och dess potentiella påverkan på människor. Syftet är att ta reda på om – och hur körsångarna i Sinnesrokören upplever att körsången påverkar dem och vilka faktorer det är som gör att de i sådana fall påverkas. Körledarens drivkrafter och mål och hur dessa visar sig i praktiken undersöks också. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och metoderna som använts är intervjThis study is about choir singing and its potential influence on people. The purpose is to find out if - and how the singers in the Serenitychoir experience that the choir singing affects them, and what factors matter when it comes to forming the experience. The choir conductor’s intentions and goals and how are transformed into practice are also investigated. The study has a qualitative approach
The immune cell component of the tumor microenvironment is an important modulator of tumor progression. In patients with breast cancer, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) represent core aspects of anti-tumor immunity, both increasingly recognized for clinical relevance. In this study, we evaluated immune-related histology features using whole slide H&E
