This article explores how an East-west inter-church relationship during the Cold War was given multiple meanings. The link that emerged during the late 1970s between Växjö diocese (Church of Sweden) and Pommersche Landeskirche is used to illustrate the case in point. Whereas an Uppsala-based national church leadership saw such connections as efforts to bring peace and reconciliation, the regional

Dialogic resonance, when speakers reproduce constructions from prior turns, is a compelling type of coordination in everyday conversation. This study takes its starting point in resonance in stance-taking sequences with the aim to account for the interplay between intersubjective motivations and cognitive facilitation in resonance production. It analyzes stance-taking sequences in the London–Lund

We here report on the synthesis and polymerization of nitrile-containing methacrylate monomers, prepared via straightforward nitrilation of the corresponding lignin-inspired aldehyde. The polymethacrylates reached exceptionally high glass transition temperatures (Tg values), i.e., 150, 164, and 238 °C for the 4-hydroxybenzonitrile, vanillonitrile, and syringonitrile derivatives, respectively,

Organizations interact with their stakeholders to a large degree through social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube ( Bellucci & Manetti, 2017). There are indications that there is an increase in the use of emotional language in organizations’ external communication in social media over time, since this is thought to generate more stakeholder engagement (Weinryb et al, 2021)

The dosimetry of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is not fully elaborated yet, and some of these systems presents dose-area-product (DAP) values after an examination rather than, as in the case of traditional CT, the doselength- product (DLP). The purpose of this study was to provide a reproducible and straight-forward method for DLP measurements on CBCT, as well as to validate a tool for estiThe dosimetry of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is not fully elaborated yet, and some of these systems presents dose-area-product (DAP) values after an examination rather than, as in the case of traditional CT, the doselength- product (DLP).

Cities, and more importantly urban neighborhoods, are key sites of infrastructure provision with direct links to social and environmental concerns. They are increasingly seen as sites of strategic action in transitions toward sustainability and resilience, and offer big opportunities for fundamental societal change. The framing of neighborhood-level problems and their solutions, governance process

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore a novel method forbrain tissue differentiation using quantitative analysis of multiphase computedtomography (CT) angiography (MP-CTA) on spectral CT, to assesswhether it can distinguish underperfused fromnormal tissue, using CT perfusion(CTP) as reference.Methods: Noncontrast CT and MP-CTA images from 10 patients wereanalyzed in vascular regions

To mitigate wild bee declines, it is important to understand the separate and joint effects of parallel losses of semi-natural habitats containing flower resources and increases in transient flower resources provided by mass-flowering crops. Since mobility may affect how bee species cope with these changes, they may also affect competitive interactions and thus community composition. We focused onTo mitigate wild bee declines, it is important to understand the separate and joint effects of parallel losses of semi-natural habitats containing flower resources and increases in transient flower resources provided by mass- flowering crops.

Ongoing pollinator declines threaten the production of many entomophilous crops. Recent reports that yields of animal-pollinated crops in India are increasing less than pollinator-independent ones suggest the occurrence of pollen limitation. We experimentally evaluated if production of the common food crop chilli benefits from insect pollination and if crop production is constrained by lack of pol

Brief review article on the poetry collection "Dagar av liv" ("Days of life") by Swedish writer Gunnel Arvidsson (b. 1948).

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, costing about 1% of the global economy. Failures ofclinical trials targeting amyloid-βprotein (Aβ), a key trigger of AD, have been explained by drug inefficiency regardlessof the mechanisms of amyloid neurotoxicity, which are very difficult to address by available technologies. Here, wecombine two imaging modalities that stand at oppos

Recent studies indicate a crucial role for neuronal glycogen storage and degradation in memory formation. We have previously identified alpha-amylase (α-amylase), a glycogen degradation enzyme, located within synaptic-like structures in CA1 pyramidal neurons and shown that individuals with a high copy number variation of α-amylase perform better on the episodic memory test. We reported that neuron

Aggregation of α-synuclein is associated with neurodegeneration and a hallmark pathology in synucleinopathies. These aggregates are thought to function as prion-like particles where the conformation of misfolded α-synuclein determines the traits of the induced pathology, similar to prion diseases. Still, little is known about the molecular targets facilitating the conformation-specific biological

Sweden has set ambitious goals concerning future sustainable cities. Solar energy plays a vital role in this transformation, since it directly relates to our health and well-being, on-site renewable energy production, economic activity, and social interaction. Therefore, prioritizing solar access already in the urban design phase is important to create equal possibilities for everyone living and w
