In 1946, one year after the atomic bombings of Japan, Palestinian thinker ʿAli Rashid Shaʿath (1908–1967) published a book entitled Min al-binsilin ila al-qunbula al-zarriya (From Penicillin to the Atomic Bomb). An accessible work of popular science, it con- tains highly optimistic reflections on the future and predicts the following two events as a result of nuclear technology and energy: a worke
Peripheral nerve injuries in the upper limb can lead to substantial disability and pain. We aimed to assess how socioeconomic factors affect outcomes after repaired or reconstructed digital or major nerve trunk injuries in the upper limb. We identified 670 individuals, who underwent surgical nerve repair or reconstruction using sensory nerve autografts, in the Swedish National Quality Registry for
The H-abstraction reactions and disproportionation reactions play very important roles in the NH3/CH4 combustion model. The rate coefficient of the H-abstraction reaction, CH2O + NH2[dbnd]HCO + NH3 (R1430), theoretically calculated by Li & Lü was multiplied by 100 in the works of Dai et al. to better match the experiment, which was repeatedly adopted in the subsequent NH3/CH4 kinetic models. M
In this paper we discuss the pressing need for a just transition in one of our most environmentally and socially problematic contemporary industries: the fashion and textiles industry. We detail the current injustices in the industry, from both environmental and socio-economic standpoints, and then move on to providing some suggestions as to how these entrenched problems with the industry could be
For more than a decade, epidemiological surveys have shown that Taranto, Italy, has a critical health situation. In particular, two epidemiological reports have established a causal link between mortality and morbidity in Taranto and the industrial production of Ilva, one of Europe’s largest steel mills. Despite its negative impact on local health, Ilva has been allowed to produce thanks to a favo
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to produce a valid and reliable Persian version of the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) questionnaire, which previously has been shown to be valid and reliable for assessing physical activity among older adults. Methods: Permission was obtained from the scale developer, who provided a copy of the the Linguistic Validation of the RAPA Qestionnaire,
In a sentence reading ERP study in Swedish we investigated the roles of the N400 and P600 components. By manipulating ease of lexical retrieval and discourse integration of the critical words in four conditions (contextually primed/non-primed and degree of contextual fit), we explored these components from a sentence processing perspective. The results indicate that the N400 indexes lexical retrie
This project studies coordination between the courses given by Environmental and Energy Systems Studies (IMES). The existence of an improvement gap and the aims for the coordination work at IMES were identified. Several areas for coordination were identified and their prioritisation and which issues within them to start working with were studied. Important aspects for structuring the coordination
The COP 15 of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity emphasised the need to monitor, evaluate, and disclose the risks and dependencies of financial institutions on biodiversity. In the light of this context, our paper focuses specifically on banks and is framed by the following overarching question: to what extent have banks identified, integrated, measured, and disclosed their dependency and e
All the Nordic states (except for Iceland at the time of analysis) have published a national artificial intelligence strategy (NAIS) document. The NAISs provide a window through which to view a consolidated point where states set out a socio-technical imaginary ostensibly focused on the impact of AI on the national society but, in so doing, communicate present-day value-laden assumptions. These fu

The purpose of this research was to examine whether the opportunities or the risks are most significant for consumers when they are using algorithm-based news aggregators, this was accomplished by using an expanded Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 model (UTAUT2). In addition to examining the significance of the original UTAUT2 parameters, we sought to reveal if our additional p
The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. Despite restoration projects already being i
This masters’ thesis in Sociology of Law is a study on the legal consciousness of state agents and private individuals working in the anti-piracy domain. The aim of the research is to examine the anti-piracy professionals’ level of training in and awareness of relevant laws. Understanding that the applicable hard and soft anti-piracy law is complex, and depicting the current level of legal trainin
Pancreatic beta cells play a critical role in type 2 diabetes (T2D) development and progression. Therefore, deciphering the full mechanism behind glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is of great interest. Glucose elicits insulin secretion by being metabolized to ATP, which closes the ATP-dependent K+ channel, leading to accumulation of positive charges inside the beta-cell, beta-cell depolarizatio
Tax avoidance has never been fought this aggressively. The EU drafted ATAD to follow the BEPS work and they chose a minimum directive as the legislative instrument. Principle of subsidiarity and the reasoned opinions of the Malta and Sweden are analysed to support the findings of the research. The Directive goes further than the previous case law on abusive situations, and this will be analysed in
