Embracing heterogeneity : Coalescing the tree of life and the future of phylogenomics

Building the Tree of Life (ToL) is a major challenge of modern biology, requiring advances in cyberinfrastructure, data collection, theory, and more. Here, we argue that phylogenomics stands to benefit by embracing the many heterogeneous genomic signals emerging from the first decade of large-scale phylogenetic analysis spawned by high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Such signals include those most c

The Delphi and GRADE methodology used in the PSOGI 2018 consensus statement on Pseudomyxoma Peritonei and Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP) and Peritoneal Mesothelioma (PM) are both rare peritoneal malignancies. Currently, affected patients may be treated with Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy offering long-term survival or even cure in selected patients. However, many issues regarding the optimal treatment strategy are currently under debate. To aid physicians involved in

The enigmatic ribosomal stalk

The large ribosomal subunit has a distinct feature, the stalk, extending outside the ribosome. In bacteria it is called the L12 stalk. The base of the stalk is protein uL10 to which two or three dimers of proteins bL12 bind. In archea and eukarya P1 and P2 proteins constitute the stalk. All these extending proteins, that have a high degree of flexibility due to a hinge between their N- and C-termi

A Study on the Sociology of Pierre Bourdieu and Conducting Social Research with Gypsy / Roma Groups

In social science discourse, the dichotomy between agency and structure tends to dominate debates pertaining to identity construction. When complex social facts are viewed through a simplistic prism of either individual activities or dominant structural impacts is likely to lead to a conclusion, - particularly when the subjects of research are members of communities at risk of vulnerability- which

The Swedish Fiscal Framework – The Most Successful One in the EU?

This paper discusses the history and future of the Swedish fiscal framework. First, we claim that the fiscal framework has contributed to a sharp decline in the debt-to-GDP ratio, from one of the highest to one of the lowest in the European Union. Next, we focus on the future. Despite its success, we argue that the framework is unsustainable. Running large surpluses over the long run is not a stea

Immigration and Right-Wing Populism: Evidence from a Natural Experiment

Between the 2014 and 2018 Swedish parliamentary elections, the vote share of the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats increased significantly. To evaluate the possibility of a causal link between immigration and the right-wing populist vote, this paper uses data from a nationwide policy experiment, under which refugees are allocated randomly to every municipality in the country, creating exogenous va

Far-Field-Based Nonlinear Optimization of Millimeter-Wave Active Antenna for 5G Services

This paper presents the design and characterization of millimeter-wave (28/38 GHz), circularly polarized (CP) active antennas, suitable for the future 5G services. By augmenting the modelling capabilities of commercially available nonlinear CAD tools, the active antenna design can simultaneously optimize figures of merits for both radiation and non-linear (NL) performance. The radiating part is co

Wideband SIW-based Low-cost Multi-layer Slot Antenna Array for E-Band Applications

This paper proposes a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) slot antenna array for wideband gigabyte mobile radio application in E-band. The wideband unit cell design is based on simultaneous feeding of 4-element radiation slots with a higher order cavity mode directly excited by a simple slot aperture fed by a microstrip fork-like tuning stub. Employing the higher order mode along with the slot ap

Demonstrating Renewable Propane

There is a significant infrastructure in the world for using liquefiedpetroleum gas (LPG). The fuel is used in many applications, spanningfrom heating to chemical processes as well as a vehicle fuel. To be able touse this infrastructure also after a transition from fossil to renewablesources, a technology for producing LPG from such resources (glycerol,cellulose etc.) is being developed. This repo
