The Swedish mathematician Gösta Mittag-Leffler (1846-1927) is well-known for founding Acta Mathematica, the famous international mathematical journal. His mathematical contributions are connected chiefly with complex analysis. The Mittag-Leffler theorem which built on Karl Weierstrass' work asserts the existence of meromorphic function with prescribed poles and principal parts. The main purpo

Accurate assessments of symptoms and illnesses are essential for health research and clinical practice but face many challenges. The absence of a single error-free measure is currently addressed by assessment methods involving experts reviewing several sources of information to achieve a best-estimate assessment. This assessment method is called the Expert Panel method in medicine, and the Best-Es

Det oumbärliga klassrummet – en framställning på kognitionsvetenskaplig grund är en bok med grundskolans klassrum, elever och lärare i fokus. Det är också en bok om vilka former av kunnande som är nödvändiga att en ung människa får med sig från skolan.Framställningen har kognitionsvetenskaplig grund och förhåller sig genomgående till grundskolans syfte: att stödja barn och unga i deras vuxenblivan

Title: The future is looking bright - Studies of burnout among musicians and music teachers. Since late 1970's, the burn-out-syndrome has been researched in several ways, especially among people working in care-oriented employments. The object with this study is to find out the biggest issues about why musicians and music teachers burn themselves out. This is based on musicians and music teach

We have developed an assay, based on nanofluidic channels and fluorescence microscopy, for optical mapping of DNA based on competitive binding between two molecules - one fluorescent and one sequence selective. From the experimental data we can extract binding constants for the two competing DNA binders, which may be subsequently used to calculate a theoretical reference map of any DNA with known

Few revolutions have had such an impact in modern times as the Cuban Revolution in 1959. Numerous publications (books, articles, and dissertations) have been written about it. Opinions about it have diverged. The revolution has been an inspiration for many, contested and even detested by others. In 1961, the Cuban Revolution took a radical turn when Fidel Castro declared that the revolution was so

It has been argued that competitive elite sport both a) reduces the humanity of athletes by turning them into beings whose sole value is determined in relation to others, and b) is motivated by a celebration of the genetically superior and humiliation of the weak. This paper argues that while a) is a morally reproachable attitude to competition, it is not what competitive elite sport revolves arou

This paper presents an acoustofluidic chip for the sorting of bacteria from protozoa in water using standing acoustic waves. The size-based acoustophoretic sorting method provides a means for sample pre-concentration, which is vital for real-time, on-site monitoring of drinking water quality and preventing outbreak of waterborne diseases. In practice, high throughput and high recovery pre-concentr

This paper presents results from a project on the experiences of Palestinian refugee youth in Lebanon, taking part in NGO programs for facilitating university education. To what extent may such informal educational projects be instrumental in circumventing and counteracting social exclusion? And how do such initiatives interrelate with constructions of senses of “Palestinianess” among their young

Epidemiological aspects of explosion-related deaths in a civilian setting may bring comprehensive knowledge that isimportant for prevention efforts. This Swedish national study aimed to describe the extent of such deaths, circumstancesand fatal injuries. Data, including all explosion-related deaths in Sweden from 2000 through 2018, were retrieved from theregister of the National Board of Forensic

Background Despite well-established guidelines for managing major depressive disorder, its extensive disability burden persists. This Value of Treatment mission from the European Brain Council aimed to elucidate the nature and extent of gaps between best-practice and current-practice care, specifically to: 1. Identify current treatment gaps along the care pathway and determine the extent of these

We present a method based on CRISPR/Cas9 excision and DNA combing to detect anti-microbial resistance (AMR) genes on bacterial plasmids. The assay is inexpensive, simple, fast, and also provides information on the number and size of plasmids in a sample. We demonstrate detection of the gene encoding for the New Delhi metallobeta-lactamase 1 (blaNDM-1) enzyme, known to make bacteria resistant to a

We investigated the impact of inertial forces on acoustic sorting at high sample throughputs. Above a critical flow rate, we observed an unexpected inertia induced breakdown of the sorting efficiency that is not due to the wall induced lift force and was not previously described in the literature. We analyzed the effect experimentally and theoretically, providing an explanation to the phenomena, a

How do we relate to monuments and statues in public spaces? And how do our perceptions shift when history confronts us with new insights?In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, many monuments and statues across the world became the focal point of intense debate. Some were torn down, others covered up, and others were re-examined in light of not only colonial and racial oppression,
