Samernas försvinnande och återkomst? : en studie om framställning av samer i svenska historieläroböcker i gymnasiet under 1970–2025

Denna studie undersöker hur samer har framställts i svenska historieläroböcker för gymnasiet under perioden 1970–2025. Syftet är att analysera hur språkbruk, innehåll och perspektiv har förändrats över tid samt att förstå dessa förändringar i relation till skiftande samhälleliga värderingar och politisk kultur. Studien bygger på ett omfattande källmaterial bestående av 52 läroböcker och kombinerarThis study examines how the Sámi have been represented in Swedish upper secondary school history textbooks between 1970 and 2025. The aim is to analyse changes in language, content, and perspectives over time, and to understand these shifts in relation to broader societal values and political culture. The study is based on an extensive body of source material consisting of 52 textbooks and combine

Evaluation of Thermal Sensor Calibrations Below 1 K For a Horizontal Dilution Refrigerator in a Cryomagnet

Accurate thermometry is essential for experiments in cryogenic environments, particularly those using dilution refrigeration to reach milli-Kelvin temperatures. In this thesis, the calibration range of a Cernox CX1050 sensor was extended below its nominal lower limit of 1.4 K. In addition, the response of RuOx sensors at different positions within the dilution refrigerator was examined to assess t

Continent-wide differentiation of fitness traits and patterns of climate adaptation among European populations of Drosophila melanogaster

A particularly well-studied evolutionary model is the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, a cosmopolitan insect of ancestral southern-central African origin. Recent work suggests that it expanded out of Africa ∼9,000 years ago, and spread from the Middle East into Europe ∼1,800 years ago. During its global expansion, this human commensal adapted to novel climate zones and habitats. Despite much w

Body mass index and subsequent fracture risk: a meta-analysis to update FRAX

The aim of this international meta-analysis was to quantify the predictive value of BMI for incident fracture and relationship of this risk with age, sex, follow-up time, and BMD. A total of 1667922 men and women from 32 countries (63 cohorts), followed for a total of 16.0 million person-years were studied. 293325 had FN BMD measured (2.2 million person-years follow-up). An extended Poisson model

Assessing Eligibility for Anti‐Amyloid Treatment Among Primary Care Patients with Cognitive Symptoms

BackgroundPrimary care is key to early identification and referral of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Assessing eligibility for new anti-amyloid treatment may guide appropriate referrals and prevent overburdening specialized care. In this study we determined eligibility for anti-amyloid treatment in patients undergoing cognitive evaluation in primary care.MethodPatients were selected from

A question of dignity? Intersectional perspectives on the establishment of old people’s homes in Sweden at the turn of the 20th century

Care for older persons is a universal issue, but around 1900, new groups of wage-earners created a need for an age of retirement, forming a new era of institutional care. These old people’s homes were often charitable trusts, which required them to be seen as respectable to attract funding. Residents therefore faced a two-way contract: being offered dignified housing if they met societal standards

Transit timing variations in HIP 41378: CHEOPS and TESS confirm a non-transiting sixth planet in the system

In multiple-planet systems, gravitational interactions of exoplanets could lead to transit timing variations (TTVs), whose amplitude becomes significantly enhanced when planets are in or near mean-motion resonances (MMRs), making them more easily detectable. In cases where both TTVs and radial velocity (RV) measurements are available, combined analysis can break degeneracies and provide robust pla

Evaluating flow cytometry for investigating slow sand filter function in drinking water treatment

Flödescytometri som verktyg i dricksvattenproduktionens kvalitetssäkrande arbete Dricksvattenproducenter har flera metoder för att undersöka och kontrollera vattnets kvalitet. Den mikrobiella kvaliteten kan ta allt ifrån 18h till sju dygn att fastställa. Flödescytometri är en metod som har föreslagits som ett potentiellt alternativ eller tillägg till dessa metoder, och som erbjuder korta analystiQuality assurance is crucial for producers of drinking water, and several steps are taken to ensure a safe and aesthetically acceptable drinking water. Monitoring the microbiological quality of drinking water, both finished and within the drinking water treatment plants, is done through cultivation-based techniques. These techniques can take up several days before results can be seen, and quicker

Fractionation gives therapeutic benefit in animal model of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 therapy of prostate cancer

BackgroundThe clinical standard practice of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 therapy is a single injection per treatment cycle, with 6 weeks between cycles. While clinical schedules currently utilize single-bolus cycles, splitting a treatment cycle into multiple smaller injections has demonstrated benefits in other radionuclide therapies, preclinically and in clinical studies.

Interventions for negative symptoms in schizophrenia : efficacy and clinical interpretability in a meta-analysis of 451 randomized controlled trials

Negative symptoms (avolition, anhedonia, asociality, blunted affect, and alogia) are among the most disabling features of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. In the absence of treatment consensus guidelines, this PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42024613967) evaluated efficacy and clinical significance of interventions targeting this dimension. Web of Science/PsycInfo databases were sear

Devalveringen 1982 - rivstart eller snedtändning? : Perspektiv på svensk devalveringspolitik

Under åren 1976 till 1982 devalverades den svenska kronan sammanlagt fem gånger, sista gången 1982 med hela 16 procent. Denna offensiva devalvering var den första åtgärd som den nya socialdemokratiska regeringen vidtog efter valsegern 1982. Superdevalveringen var ett spännande ekonomiskt och politiskt experiment som knappast har någon tidigare motsvarighet i vår växelkurspolitiska historia. Den på

Longitudinal Micronutrient Exposure Reveals Country-Specific Associations with Risk of Celiac Disease in Genetically Susceptible Children: The Prospective TEDDY Cohort: Nutrient Intake and Risk of Celiac Disease

Material consequences : the return of inflation and the value of price indexation

Inflation is not merely a shift in the value of money, it is also involving a redistribution of value. While some groups are severely affected by inflation, others profit from it. So, who bears the costs of inflation: corporations, employees, or consumers? And how is this redistribution taking place, by which devices? This study takes a critical look at a central device used in various markets: th

The Ethical and Legal Complexities of Regulating Companion AI Chatbots

Companion AI chatbots are increasingly used to provide friendship, emotional support, and quasi-romantic relationships, with reported benefits for loneliness and mental health. At the same time, recent suicides and other serious harms allegedly linked to such systems expose gaps in existing ethical and legal frameworks. This article interrogates these gaps through four lenses: anthropomorphism, em

Political Manipulation in the Age of Interactive AI: The Case for Protecting Freedom of Thought under the ECHR

Interactive AI systems - large language models, conversational agents, and chatbots - are rapidly becoming primary interfaces through which citizens access and evaluate political information. Developed and governed largely by private corporations, these systems do not merely distribute content: they shape opinion formation through sustained, adaptive, and personalised dialogue, relocating politica

Security, Affective Computing, and the Protection of the Free Mind

Emotional AI systems decode human emotions through facial micro-expressions, vocal patterns, and physiological data. While the EU Artificial Intelligence Act prohibits emotion recognition in workplaces and educational institutions, broad security exemptions permit deployment in military, defense, national security, and law enforcement contexts. This article demonstrates how these exemptions create
