INTRODUCTION: We examined the relations of misfolded alpha synuclein (α-synuclein) with Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in two large independent cohorts. METHODS: We included Biomarkers for Identifying Neurodegenerative Disorders Early and Reliably Two (BioFINDER-2) and Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) participants (n = 2315, cognitively unimpaired, mild cognitive impairment,

Several articles in the Recalling Fieldwork collection discuss the role of state surveillance and how it affected our ethnographic fieldwork. This was certainly the case in my own research in Romania in the decade from 1974-1985, where my secret police (Securitate) file ended up being over 600 pages long, and where I was blacklisted in 1985 due to hostile activities. Other ethnographers had simila

In 1994, a Swedish marriage registrar motivated his refusal to perform partnership registrations of same-sex couples by referring to matrimony—even non-religious marriage ceremonies—as a holy act. The perception of marriage as sacred and only intended for the union of man and woman was strong in the 1990s, but there seem to have been a rapid shift in the discursive field since then. Between 1989

China’s state-run archives offer some interesting surprises to students of history looking eastward from a European vantage point in 2006. Beijing’s Municipal Archive, for example, is something quite unlike what one might expect if all one knew were the archives of Eastern Europe’s now “former” communist states. Particularly noteworthy is the use of the internet as a tool of interactive communicat

Children with lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* and/or queer (LGBTQ) parents have received heightened attention during the processes of policy making regarding adoption and donor insemination legislation in Sweden during the 1990s and early 2000s. Yet, very little academic knowledge exists about children and young people in LGBTQ families and their experiences in schools. We engage the idea of "cultu

While many religious institutions promote hetero- and cis-normative notions of sex, gender, and sexuality, not all LGBTQIA+ people leave religion and not all people who practice religion are straight and cis-gendered. In my research, I explore the lived experiences of queer Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Sweden through on- and offline ethnographic fieldwork aiming to gain insight into how religi

Sleep is a crucial part of our lives, as we spend about one-third of our lives sleeping. In a digital age, mobile apps on smartphones play an important role in self-improvement regarding sleep. Gamification techniques can be particularly employed by app designers to strengthen users’ motivation and participation. This thesis aims to take an empirical focus examining the ways in which gamification

Today, Brahe Church mainly exhibits signs of the period of greatness of Visingsö island during the seventeenth century. However, there are also traces from much earlier periods. Ströja Church was built during the twelfth century, when the House of Erik and the House of Sverker contested for the title of king and the island of Visingsö had a prominent position in the new country of Sweden. We do no

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar förvärvsarbetande småbarnsföräldrars arbetsrättsliga ställning. Utgångspunkten i avhandlingen är att arbetsrättens regler om föräldraskap, trots sitt tämligen starkt formulerade rättighetsskydd, i praktiken har en förhållandevis svag normativ position i arbetslivet och i arbetsrätten. Föräldraskapsreglernas svaga position kan förklaras som ett resThis dissertation deals with the position of working parents in labour legislation and the protection. The starting point for the thesis is that the rules in labour law concerning employees? parenthood, despite the fairly strongly formulated protection of their rights, in practice have a relatively weak normative position in working life and in labour law. The weakness of the rules on parenthood c

The discussion focuses on the visuality of automated facial recognition and its designed algorithms as a case study in machinic vision and its concurrent modes of perception. It focuses on a general problem

We examined Internet access and use of sexually related electronic media among men who have sex with men (MSM) in 4 cities in Tanzania. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 231 MSM in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Arusha, and Tanga regarding electronic media type, times of use, type of use and frequency

Due to the human population, urbanization and the standard of living is increasing, the municipal solid waste is increasing in the same pace. While the society overall is getting more environmentally conscious and getting a better insight in the consequences of not managing the waste that is produced in a better way than dumping it on deposits, problems arise and especially in larger cities. Big p

Enligt Newsecs rapport från 2016 söker företag idag kontor som har effektiv kontorsyta med stor flexibilitet vad det gäller både area och hyresavtal. Deras analys är att sådana kontor kommer fortsätta att efterfrågas. Vad som menas med flexibla hyresavtal är inget som är självklart i branschen men i detta examensarbete innebär sådana hyresavtal kortare hyrestider och mindre ytor för varje aktör soAccording to Newsec's report from 2016 companies are looking for offices that have efficient office space with great flexibility in terms of both area and lease. Their analysis is that such offices will continue to be demanded. What is meant by flexible real estate leases is nothing that is obvious in the industry but in this paper such leases mean less lease times and less space for each part

Under början av 1900-talet var illegala aborter ett samhällsproblem i Sverige. Fosterfördrivning var straffbelagt, kvinnor som blivit ovilligt gravida stod därför inför valet att antingen föda barnet eller genomföra abort på egen hand. År 1939 trädde den första lagen på området, lagen om avbrytande av havandeskap, 1938 års lag, i kraft. Lagen tillämpades mycket restriktivt och antalet illegala aboIllegal abortions were a social issue in Sweden during the 20th century. Abortions were punishable, and therefore a woman who became pregnant against her will stood before the choice of either unwillingly giving birth or carrying out an abortion on her own. In 1939 the first law on abortions came into force. The law was restrictively interpreted and the number of illegal abortions continued to inc
