Depression is common during pregnancy, and a considerable proportion of pregnant women take antidepressants. Modern antidepressants (e.g. SSRIs) are fairly safe to use during pregnancy. Several physiological changes occur in the pregnant state, possibly affecting the pharmacokinetics of many drugs. Metabolism via CYP enzymes are important for the elimination of antidepressants. This metabolism may

Precipitates of the topologically close-packed (TCP) phases can significantly impact a material’s mechanical and fracture properties. This theoretical study uses ab initio modeling to investigate the σ phase of WOs, focusing on composition-dependent mechanical and fracture-related properties. We find the effect of Os on WOs σ to be stronger than that of Re in WRe σ phase, with the WOs phase exhibiPrecipitates of the topologically close-packed (TCP) phases can significantly impact a material’s mechanical and fracture properties.

Digital technologies in welfare organizations frequently generate gaps, ambiguities, and misalignments that require professional intervention. Yet prior research has tended to portray frontline workers mainly as resistant or adaptive actors, leaving under-examined their active contributions to sustaining broader digital infrastructures. This article introduces the concept of digital compensatory wDigital technologies in welfare organizations frequently generate gaps, ambiguities, andmisalignments that require professional intervention.

Laptops and smartphones are now challenging the traditional boarders of work and have contributed to new ways of combining work and other parts of life. Both time and room dimensions have been resolved or taken new forms through the new information and communication technology. Questions like when and where you are supposed to, or can or want to work are likewise important to companies and employeLaptops and smartphones are now challenging the traditional boarders of work and have contributed to new ways of combining work and other parts of life.

The planetary changes associated with the Anthropocene, including climate change and extinction of species, pose severe threats to civilization, humanity, and the natural world as we know it. They also pose special challenges to the human imagination. To meet these challenges, climate change communicators use narratives. Nonfiction books intended for a general audience employ two radically differe

Applying media analysis, this article addresses how the exclusion of Muslim women from fields of common public interest in Sweden, such as partaking as an active citizen, is materialized. Focusing on a specific event—the cancellation of a screening of Burka Songs 2.0—and the media coverage and representation of the cancellation, it discusses the role of discourses of gender equality, secularity anApplying media analysis, this article addresses how the exclusion of Muslim women from fields of common public interest in Sweden, such as partaking as an active citizen, is materialized.

Small ligaments connecting the fracture surfaces just behind a moving crack front are assumed to exist under certain conditions. The ligaments are rapidly torn as the crack advances. Inelastic straining of such ligaments influences the energy balance in the fracture process. The rapid tearing of a single ligament is studied both numerically and experimentally.

Politics should be constituted by social representativeness in order to be conceptualised as democratic and legitimate. The set of politicians ought to be diverse and heterogeneous with the aim to include a wide spectrum of interest and concerns. The debate about women lacking power in politics was raised in the seventies. The political parties acted in response to the debate by implementing diffe

The green bond market has seen exponential growth since its boom in 2013 but literature on this topic is considered woefully inadequate. This research paper therefore seeks to compare the performance of European green bonds against its conventional counterparts. Analysis was conducted on two data samples spanning from the year 2013 to 2019 using the matching principle and an extended Fama-French m

This thesis uses the humour theories of Michael Bachtin to analyse how meaning is constructed in internet memes, with a focus on the discourse created in online incel forums. The study focuses on iterations of the meme Virgin vs. Chad as an example of how masculinity is negotiated with the help of comedic expression. The dynamics of masculinity is understood through Raewyn Connell’s theoretical fr

Green entrepreneurship – technological eco–innovations and ecopreneurs’ acts – has recently received much attention from European policymakers as one promising response to the challenges of sustainable economic development due to its potential to catalyze and build a low–carbon or green economy. This topical relationship between green entrepreneurship and sustainable economy has also gained increa

In this study I present a theoretical model based on Marx´s critique of political economy, specific readings of Marx´s work and the regulation approach. This model will be used to explain long waves and cycles in long term economic growth, creative destruction (i.e the relation between technological leaps and economic crisis) and the ways in which these processes correspond to institutional develo

This paper describes how four teachers from the same school translate democracy from the curriculum. The interviews describes how the teachers work with the curriculum and what kind of difficulties they confront in the meeting with the students and other teachers. Through qualitative interviews of these teachers, have allowed us to read into their reflections as they explain their reality of the m

The aim with this study was to investigate the senses of the lexemes /assassinated/, /killed/, and /murdered/ in 21st century American and British newspaper discourse, which was done with the method of corpus-driven Cognitive Linguistics. The main research questions dealt with how the combination of grammatical and contextual features of the articles frame patients and agents of the verbs. A focus
