Social economy organisations are attributed a major role in solving societal and environmental problems and in implementing social innovations in Europe. These organisations are private entities running economic activities whose main purpose is to provide goods and services to their members or the community at large, with profits coming second. Nevertheless, these organisations are not suffici

25 September 2026 18:00 to 27 September 2026 17:00 | Exhibition, Other IAC is no ordinary exhibition space, but a venue for artistic experimentation and the exchange of ideas. Here, artists come together in a cross-disciplinary environment to engage in artistic research and technical exploration. During Malmö Gallery Weekend 2026, IAC will present an exhibition that shifts the boundaries between i

Thesis purpose: The combined research on the effects of logo redesign on heritage brands is underdeveloped. Therefore, we contribute with insights to this nascent subject and provide inspiration for others to continue. Methodology: This thesis uses quantitative methods with a mixed experimental design to test the impact of different logo versions on Brand Attitudes and Perceived Brand Authenticity
Contour feathers cover most of the avian body and play critical roles in insulation, social communication, aerodynamics, and water repellency. Feather production is costly and the development of the optimum characteristics for each function may be constrained by limited resources or time, and possibly also lead to trade-offs among the different characteristics. Populations exposed to different env
Background-After age, sex is the most important risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). The mechanism through which women are protected from CAD is still largely unknown, but the observed sex difference suggests the involvement of the reproductive steroid hormone signaling system. Genetic association studies of the gene-encoding Estrogen Receptor alpha (ESR1) have shown conflicting results,
Next-generation sequencing experiments have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed in many different isoforms (isomiRs), whose biological relevance is often unclear. We found that mature miR-21, the most widely researched miRNA because of its importance in human disease, is produced in two prevalent isomiR forms that differ by 1 nt at their 3' end, and moreover that the 3' end of miR-21 is po
The main question addressed in this work is as follows: Under pure electrosorption conditions, that is, disregarding nonelectrostatic effects, how does the net adsorption of a polyelectrolyte at an oppositely charged surface respond to the addition of simple salt? Previous simulations and mean-field calculations have suggested that the polymers will desorb. However, we will demonstrate that an inc
Background: High-risk alcohol consumption among university students is well documented. Several types of intervention have proved to be effective in reducing alcohol consumption. This study examines the 2-year outcome of 2 different alcohol intervention programs at university halls of residence. Methods: Ninety-eight university halls of residence (with 556 students) were cluster randomized to 2 d
Biogenic NMVOCs are mainly formed by plants and microorganisms. They have strong impact on the local atmospheric chemistry when emitted to the atmosphere. The objective of this study was to determine if there are significant emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) from a subarctic mire in northern Sweden. Subarctic peatlands in discontinuous permafrost regions are undergoing s
Background. Sporadic cases of abdominal pain and dysmotility has been described after treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs. The aim of the present study was to scrutinize for patients with severe gastrointestinal complaints after treatment with GnRH analogs, to describe the expression of antibodies against progonadoliberin-2, GnRH1, GnRH receptor (GnRHR), luteinizing hormon
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling fokuserar förändringar inom den arbetsmarknadspolitik som erbjuds arbetslösa socialbidragstagare mellan 1989 och 2002 i Sverige. Denna förändring beskrivs som en process där kommunerna tar allt mer ansvar för arbetsmarknadspolitiken. Denna grupp arbetslösa kategoriseras som en speciellt problematisk grupp och hänvisas till kommunerna. Detta sker utan tyThis dissertation focuses on changes in labour market policies that were provided for unemployed recipients of social assistance between 1989 and 2002 in Sweden. This change is described as a process where the municipalities gradually take greater responsibility for the labour market policies. This group of unemployed is categorized as a particularly problematic group and has been referred to the
This paper presents the results of a 4-y investigation of C-14 in different waste streams of both boiling water reactors (BWRs) and pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Due to the potential impact of C-14 on human health, minimizing waste and releases from the nuclear power industry is of considerable interest. The experimental data and conclusions may be implemented to select appropriate waste mana
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether bone quality, as assessed by osteometry and histologic parameters, can be used to predict implant integration in conjunction with maxillary sinus reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN: Twelve patients with severely atrophied maxillary alveolar processes were treated through use of a two-stage surgical reconstructive strategy with implant placement 4
Matrilin-2 is a component of extracellular filamentous networks. To study the interactions by which it can be integrated into such assemblies, full-length and truncated forms of matrilin-2 were recombinantly expressed in HEK-293 cells and purified from conditioned medium. The recombinant proteins, when used in interaction assays, showed affinity to matrilin-2 itself, but also to other collagenous
As part of a systematic palaeohydrological reconstruction of lake level fluctuations during the Last Glacial Maximum, a transect of cores from ancient Lake Xinias in centra Greece has already been studied with respect to pollen, sediment and mineral magnetic analyses. The chronology was based on C-14 AMS dating of terrestrial plant macrofossil remains from peat and clayey peat (Palaeogeog. Palaeoc
For decades, unicellular yeasts have been general models to help understand the eukaryotic cell and also our own biology. Recently, over a dozen yeast genomes have been sequenced, providing the basis to resolve several complex biological questions. Analysis of the novel sequence data has shown that the minimum number of genes from each species that need to be compared to produce a reliable phyloge
The oxidative ammonolysis of toluene, i.e., ammoxidation without the presence of molecular oxygen, was studied over a series of samples of MoO3 crystals. The specific surface areas of the various faces were determined from SEM micrographs. Correlations between activities and surface planes were found. For the formation of nitrile the specific activity decreased in the order {001} and {h01} > {100}
Carex humilis is a clonal sedge that can form distinct rings of densely aggregated ramets. We hypothesize that rings form because both production of new ramets and ramet dispersal are positively correlated to ramet size. This would lead to an overrepresentation of fast-moving and large ramets with high ramet production at the periphery, whereas slow-moving and small ramets with low ramet productio
