There is a lack of objective evaluative standards for academic work. While this has been recognized in studies of how gatekeepers pass judgment on the works of others, little is known about how scholars deal with the uncertainty about how their work will be evaluated by gatekeepers. Building upon 35 interviews with early career academics in political science and history, this paper explores how ju
The COVID-19 pandemic is classified as an infodemic with the circulation of vast amounts of true and untrue information, especially through social media. The study’s aim was to explore different articulations of people’s understanding, handling and evaluation of (true) information, misinformation and disinformation in general and specifically linked to social media related to the COVID-19 pandemicThe COVID-19 pandemic is classified as an infodemic with the circulation of vast amounts of true and untrue information, especially through social media.

Background: Older adults with pain have an increased risk of falling (odds ratio (OR) 1,7). Pain in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is more common than in older adults. The association between pain and falling in people with PD is poorly explored.Objective: To investigate the occurrence of pain in mild PD and its association with future falls/near fallsMethods. The study included 141 participants with PDBackground: Older adults with pain have an increased risk of falling (odds ratio (OR) 1,7).

Political instability the last decades has forced millions of people to migrate from their homelands. In Sweden today, 1.6 million are born abroad, of which the largest immigrant groups originate from the Middle East. Immigrants from these areas represent high risk populations for type 2 diabetes with prevalence of type 2 diabetes twice as high compared to the native Swedish population.

This book is about projectification – a concept that captures the increasing reliance on “the project” in contemporary societies, governance and economies. Despite its significance, this development and transformation, not only of public and private organizations but also our working environment and way of living, has received little scholarly attention compared to other major societal movements.
From the end of the nineteenth century and one hundred years onward, home sewing was an important part of many women’s duties, but it was also a pleasure, something that existed parallel with the emerging mass-produced ready-to-wear industry. The paper patterns used for home dressmaking were often sold and distributed through women’s magazines. These pattern sections were both a kind of reader serFrom the end of the nineteenth century and one hundred years onward, home sewing was an important part of many women’s duties, but it was also a pleasure, something that existed parallel with the emerging mass-produced ready-to-wear industry.

In recent years, LARP events (live action role playing) have become more popular in Sweden and permanent buildings have been built in a number of LARP event areas. But despite that a desire for good event management may exist, the knowledge may be lacking. This master thesis aims to study the risks and dependencies on LARP events with the goal to answer the question: “What should be included in sa

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att ge en god omvårdnad behövs kunskaper om ätproblem som helhet och om möjliga hinder för optimalt näringsintag hos äldre patienter, särskilt de med stroke. Sådana kunskaper behövs eftersom åldrandet i sig självt eller tillsammans med sjukdom, t.ex. stroke och dess följder, kan påverka förmågan att äta och därmed också näringsintaget med ökad risk för såväl undernäThe aim of this thesis was to describe eating difficulties and interventions to improve eating among elderly patients, especially those with stroke, to make comparisons between patients with dysphagia and those without (Papers I & II), those with and without assisted eating (Paper IV), and to analyse the relation between eating difficulties, nutritional status (Papers II-V), pressure ulcers (P
In response to the challenges of their local environments, organisms produce of a large number of chemical diverse compounds with complex stereochemistry and reactive functional groups. These characteristics enable them to interact and bind specifically to biological target molecules and exert various biological activities, and have assured that Natural products continues to be an important source
ObjectivesTo examine whether different vertical drop jump (VDJ) landing depth (small versus deep) and stance width (wide versus narrow) may alter movement biomechanics in female recreational athletes. The purpose was also to identify whether leg muscle strength is a predictive factor for knee control during a VDJ.DesignCross-sectional.SettingBiomechanics laboratory. Participants: Eighteen women ag
This study argues that Brexit is as much an internal UK crisis of law, identity politics and democracy as it is the EU crisis of integration. Does Brexit bring us a new insight into how the legal order of the EU and its Member States are interrelated? Does it throw a new light on the EU law’s ability to produce a sense of collective European identity and solidarity which transcends national borderThis study argues that Brexit is as much an internal UK crisis of law, identity politics and democracy as it is the EU crisis of integration.

Light microscopy is a powerful single-cell technique that allows for quantitative spatial information at subcellular resolution. However, unlike flow cytometry and single-cell sequencing techniques, microscopy has issues achieving high-quality population-wide sample characterization while maintaining high resolution. Here, we present a general framework, data-driven microscopy (DDM), that uses pop
Vad ska en surrogatmamma känna inför fostret hon bär i sin mage? Hur ska en hårt arbetande förälder förhålla sig till faktumet att nannyn eller kalasfixaren vet bäst hur deras barn vill ha sitt kalas? Kan en flygvärdinna eller en socialarbetare visa den irritation hon känner inför en otrevlig kund eller klient? Vilka känslor är legitima att visa upp i olika situationer och vilka behöver tryckas ne
