Med en befolkning på cirka 30 miljoner människor är kurderna den fjärde största etniska gruppen i Mellanöstern. Trots detta har kurderna inte sin egen självständiga stat vilket gör dem till en minoritetsgrupp i Turkiet, Irak, Iran och Syrien. Eftersom kurderna är utspridda över fyra olika stater är det av intresse att undersöka hur de hänvisar till varandra i förhållande till idén om att ha en suvWith a population of around 30 million people, the Kurds are the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East. Despite this, the Kurds do not have their own independent state which makes them a minority group in Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Since the Kurds are scattered over four different states it is of interest to examine how they refer to each other in relation to the idea of having an inde

Research question: What conditions promote or hinder business model innovation for sustainability in the field of upcycling and how do these conditions interact? Methodology: This single-case study is characterized by applying a qualitative research approach and an inductive reasoning with a systematic and transparent approach. The research conducted semi-structured interviews as the main source

In the near future, our species, and many others, face an upcoming shock in the global climate; one that could result in the potential extinction of more than just the human race. In order to combat this issue, the field of sustainability emerged throughout different sectors of society. One of the places that this topic has blossomed is within academia, and there are few things more important than

During the period of the Roman Imperial Period the area north of the Roman limes, Germania Magna, was influenced from the Roman Empire. The varied interactions between the Romans and the Germanic population, living beyond the northern frontier, has broadly been studied during centuries. One of these aspects have been to further understand the relation and the Roman- Germanic interaction by investi

In general, what affects the time allocation of people is well researched area. But when we think about the time engaged in childcare activities in terms of the differences between strong and weak family ties nations, we come across to less researched field that need more analysis. Using the Multinational Time Use Surveys information for Germany, United Kingdom, Italy and Spain for years between 2

Diseases of the myoneural junction and muscle are disabling and some are life-threatening. Recent successes in the identification of the underlying genetic mechanisms have had profound implication for their diagnostics, treatment and classification. We define familial risks for siblings who were hospitalized for or deceased from diseases of the myoneural junction and muscle. A nationwide database

Biomarkers for early detection of ovarian tumors are urgently needed. Tumors of the ovary grow within cysts and most are benign. Surgical sampling is the only way to ensure accurate diagnosis, but often leads to morbidity and loss of female hormones. The present study explored the deep proteome in well-defined sets of ovarian tumors, FIGO stage I, Type 1 (low-grade serous, mucinous, endometrioid;

Background: Plasma copeptin, a marker of vasopressin, is associated with renal function decline in the general population. Our aim was to study the links between elevated copeptin and future risk of kidney disease.Methods: Copeptin was measured in a sample of the Malmö Preventive Project (MPP) Reinvestigation (n = 5158) and in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Cardiovascular Cohort (MDC-CC) (n = 5162). Ac

In this article I call for an awareness of the mobile commons– the informal support that exists among migrating people, NGOs, and activists – in relation to the realization of family reunification. Taking its point of departure in a concrete case of family reunification for young unaccompanied children, the article seeks to expose how the traditional legal notion of the liberal subject fails to pr

Research on the impacts of COVID-19 on mobility has focused primarily on the increased health vulnerabilities of involuntary migrant and displaced populations. But virtually all migration flows have been truncated and altered because of reduced economic and mobility opportunities of migrants. Here we use a well-established framework of migration decision-making, whereby individual decisions combin

In both the US and EU, policymakers and government agencies are acknowledging theimportance of having access to repair options, particularly for vulnerable product users who depend on their products. As such, repair can play an important role as a resource for resilience, but research is missing. We propose that repair can act as a resource for resilience. A comprehensive, structured way to unders

In the halothane-anaesthetized rat, the responses of 49 neurons in the lumbo-sacral cord and the reflex discharge in the common peroneal nerve following electrical stimulation of the sural nerve were recorded in order to study possible relations between neuronal events and reflex nerve discharges. A distant noxious stimulus (to activate Diffuse Noxious Inhibitory Controls (DNIC) of Le Bars et al.1

Background: For up to 50% of adolescents experiencing PTSD, the course of their illness is further complicated by co-occurring substance use. Despite this, evidence-based integrated treatment options for adolescents with this comorbidity remain sparse. To address this gap, we are conducting an RCT examining the efficacy of exposure-based therapy for co-occurring PTSD and substance use among adoles

Direct laser writing (DLW) has arise interest in a variety of fields due to the capabilities that we get from the realization of 2D and 3D structures with high resolution fabrication techniques. Multi-photon lithography (MPL) relies on non-linear absorption effects, making possible the fabrication of metasurfaces with feature size beyond the diffraction limit. A new approach in this direction is t

Current market trends for industrial automation are the need for customizable production, shorter time to market, and powerful global competitive pressure. Based on these trends two challenges have been identified: 1) flexible production systems and 2) integration and utilization of devices and software. Applications from both process automation, manufacturing, and robotics have been considered.
