Research indicates a crisis in the journalistic field due to economic, technological, institutional and cultural shifts. This seems to have led to a paradigm shift in arts journalism, from a cultural to a journalistic focus, and a loss of autonomy for culture departments in the Swedish press. This article investigates how arts journalists’ professional values are affected by this presumed autonomy
We describe a simple method to detect significant changes of the total ozone column from global (diffuse and direct) zenith sky measurements taken at the Earth’s surface. The calculation of the total ozone column relies on measured irradiance at two wavelengths in the ultra violet part of the solar spectrum. One of these (i.e. 306 nm) are appreciable absorbed by ozone whereas the other (i.e. 360 n
Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a fatal cancer, accounting for 3-5% of all diagnosed cancers. Finding the primary site is important for therapeutic choices and we believe that the organ which is designated as the cause of death may give clues about the primary site. Methods: A total of 20,570 patients with CUP were identified from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. Causes of death
A simple, rapid and environmentally friendly hollow-fibre liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) technique was developed for the quantitative determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in aqueous samples. GC-MS was then used as the method of analysis. The HF-LPME technique involves extraction of PAHs from a 20-mL sample containing 20 % acetonitrile as a modifier. The PAHs were extrac
The duration of cell death may allow deducing the underlying degenerative mechanism. To find out how long a photoreceptor takes to die, we used the rdl mouse model for retinal neurodegeneration, which is characterized by phosphodiesterase-6 (PDE6) dysfunction and photoreceptor death triggered by high cGMP levels. Based on cellular data on the progression of cGMP accumulation, cell death, and survi
Based on the context of a developing country, this research engages key identified political-economy aspects that influence the operations and performance of the electricity supply industry in Tanzania. Departing from this political-economy perspective, this paper explores dencentralized approaches to rural electrification through agro-industry co-generation and influencing factors behind the slow
There is a global demand for sustainable industrial development and a call to make manufacturing “greener”. Nanotechnologies are in a promising position to be early adopters of this concept. Advancements in the nanomaterial industry can help confront global issues, and aid in sustainable development that enables positive economic, environmental, and social changes. Formal evaluation of a product’s
The Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex is a transcriptional regulator essential to several normal developmental processes, but also found to have a role in several types of cancer. In order to design cancer therapies targeting this complex, determining the structure and subunit composition is crucial. X-ray crystallography is required for the level of detail desired, demanding la
This is a representation study of the antagonist character and monstrous female vampire Drusilla from the TV-show ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (1997). The purpose of this study is to find out how Drusilla as an antagonist is portrayed from a feministic perspective. The theories that are used focus on monstrous female, sex, motherhood and female objectification in TV, film and literature. Using these
Female drivers operating in the public transport sector are underrepresented in the literature on women’s mobility which largely addresses the fear of crime among female riders. Alternative modes of transport, as well as job opportunities, have nevertheless started to emerge as international and local ride-hailing firms mushroom across the globe in urban cities. The World Bank Group International
The global transport industry stands in front of the next big technology shift; the implementation of autonomous vehicles. This shift might remove the physical driver from the truck, increase safety and improve flexibility. This will most likely change the fundamentals of the transportation industry. Autonomous trucks are anticipated to be implemented for short distance transportation in gated are
Efforts to reform the public sectors of Zambia have been ongoing since the 1990s with objectives to ensure efficient and high-quality provision of public goods and services to all citizens and battling persistently high levels of poverty. Outcomes have however been mixed at best. This study assesses how reforms to the public sectors of Zambia have been framed in terms of what problem representati
Wetland and biodiversity loss affect both ecosystem function and human wellbeing. However, it is argued that the incremental rate of farmland abandonment provides opportunities for ecological restoration to help reverse this negative trend. This thesis applies ecosystem service framework and psychological ownership theory to analyse a wetland restoration project in a semi-urban town of Jablonné v
A translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 produces the fusion gene BCR-ABL that leads to the constitutive activity of a tyrosine kinase. This initiates the uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid cells causing Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML). The disorder is treated by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that prevent the progression of CML into more advanced phases. The treatment must be sustained
The invention of the integrated circuit is a key milestone in the history of electronic circuits. Since its introduction the number of components on a chip have increased rapidly, making them more powerful and able to perform complex operations, but it has also changed the design process. Today different parts of a chip can be developed separately as Intellectual Property (IP) and then put togethe
En del av det fenomen som kallas skattebaserodering och vinstförflyttning (BEPS) händer när multinationella koncerner flyttar vinster med hjälp av räntebetalningar och ränteavdrag. Sverige har försökt angripa problemet genom att introducera regler som begränsar ränteavdrag i sin nationella lagstiftning. Genom antagande av den Europeiska Unionens (EU) första Skatteflyktsdirektiv (ATAD 1) så har detA part of the phenomenon known as tax base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) occurs when multinational entities (MNEs) shift profits through the aid of interest payments and interest deductions. Sweden has attempted to address this issue through introducing rules limiting interest deductions in national legislation. Through the adoption of the first Anti-Tax Avoidance directive (the ATAD 1) by th
This paper analyses the economic impact of Transnational Corporations through their activities across Global Value Chains (GVCs), using Mexico as baseline country. By exploiting the UNCTAD-Eora Global Value Chain database, we conduct an exploratory research methodology. We first unfold the relationship between GVC trade and economic development by disaggregating GVC trade into its two components (
The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) attempts to describe the fundamental particles and how they interact with each other. This model is however incomplete, as shown by various experimental observations. ATLAS is one of the experiments currently in operation at the Large Hadron Collider, which aims to search for new physics beyond the SM. To perform these searches, many ATLAS analyses look
This study evaluates and compares four green roof methods with the purpose to calculate how many green roofs that potentially can be built on already existing buildings in a city. The methods are created for the cities Braunschweig, Thessaloniki, Lisbon and Lund. All of the methods mainly use Geospatial Information Systems and remote sensing analysis as tools. In order to answer the research quest
