The Swedish election 2022 demonstrated a significant ideological divide between men and women in Genreation Z, a unique phenomenon for this generation. This contradicts the Cultural Backlash-theory, which empathizes young people’s inclination to support left-leaning parties. This study examines the rightward shift amongst men in Generation Z through an ideal type analysis, constructed from charact
Recent years have seen an increase in reports on rising wildfire occurrences in countries of the Middle East. Wildfires are integral parts of terrestrial ecosystems and as such prone to the recent, large-scale anthropogenic changes of global ecosystem dynamics. However, the systematic analysis of patterns of wildfire occurrences – fire regimes – is concentrated on a few well studied regions and re
This study investigates fracture initiation in tension and constrained bending of a three-ply paperboard. Size effects in tension are examined using two complementary approaches: Digital Image Correlation (DIC) based strain mapping on separated plies and tensile tests with varying gauge lengths. DIC of the tensile tests reveals persistent Localized Strain Zones (LSZ) with characteristic widths cf≈
Variation at the 17q21.31 locus, which contains the gene encoding microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), has been associated with neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). This highly complex locus is characterized by two broadly defined haplotypes: H1 and the inverted H2 haplotype. While H1 has been associated with an increased PD risk and is present in all ancestry pop
OBJECTIVES: To map how sleep has been assessed in osteoarthritis (OA) and/or inflammatory arthritis (IA), and to synthesise the evidence on the prevalence, characteristics, and relationships between sleep disturbances and these conditions.METHODS: We conducted a scoping review following the JBI guidelines and reported it following the PRISMA extension guidelines for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). M
AIMS: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, including in Sweden. The main aim of this study was to explore the temporal trends and spatial patterns of CVD in Sweden using spatial autocorrelation analyses.METHODS: The CVD admission rates between 2000 and 2010 throughout Sweden were entered as the input disease data for the analytic processes
Uppsatsen behandlar i huvudsak kreditvärderingsinstitutens auktoritära roll på kreditmarknaderna samt hur lagstiftarens inkorporering av kreditvärderingsbetyg har påverkat det finansiella systemet. Målet är att pragmatiskt granska lagstiftarens motiv med inkorporering av kreditvärderingsbetyg i kapitaltäckningsregelverket samt att föreslå möjliga förändringar i de fall brister anses föreligga. SyfThis thesis deals with the role of rating agencies as authorities in the debt markets; and how the legislature's incorporation of credit ratings has affected the financial system. The goal is to pragmatically examine legislator's motives when incorporating the use of credit rating opinions in capital adequacy regulations; also to propose possible changes in case of insufficiencies. The aim
Previous research on A/B testing and continuous experimentation has mostly focused on large-scale settings with company-external customers. However, work efficiency and satisfaction for company coworkers may be highly related to internal tools and their fit-for-use. In this study, we therefore explore A/B testing for online services exclusively used by company co-workers. We A/B tested two version
Importance: Large-scale estimates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are warranted for adequate prevention and treatment. However, systematic approaches to ascertain rates of BPD are lacking. Objective: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prevalence of BPD in very low birth weight (≤ 1,500 g) or very low gestational age (< 32 weeks) neonates. Data sources: A search of M
The Red Sea crisis and the recent attacks on commercial ships have drawn significant attention worldwide, underscoring the need to understand how such geopolitical conflicts can disrupt global supply chains and economic stability. This paper thoroughly examines the complex impacts of the crisis on India's electronics and photonics sector, recognizing the sector's crucial importance as a fundamenta
The vertical shear instability and the streaming instability are two robust sources of turbulence in protoplanetary disks. The former has been found to induce anisotropic turbulence that is stronger in the vertical than in the radial dimension and to be overall stronger compared to the largely isotropic turbulence caused by the streaming instability. In this study, we shed light on the dust diffus
This study presents a detailed investigation of the Velika Vrbica loess-palaeosol sequence, situated in the Wallachian Basin of northeastern Serbia, with the aim to reconstruct palaeoenvironmental changes spanning Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 3 to 1. Using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, low field magnetic susceptibility (χlf), and mass accumulation rates (MARs), we have developed a
