    Author : Péter Balogh; Gunnel Forsberg; Thomas Lundén; James W. Scott; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; cross-border regional development; Polish-German border; Szczecin; national identities; border attitudes; the Other; kulturgeografi; Human Geography; Östersjö- och Östeuropaforskning;

    Abstract : Borderlands are often peripheral geographically, administratively, and economically. A particularly illustrative case is the Szczecin area at the border between Poland and Germany, where a large city on one side neighbours to a sparsely populated hinterland on the other. READ MORE

  4. 2. Toxicity and biological impact of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles : Focus on the vascular toxicity of ultra-small titanium dioxide nanoparticles

    Author : Narges Bayat; Susana Cristobal; Janeck James Scott-Fordsmand; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanoparticles; Nanotoxicology; Ultra-small nanoparticles; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : The application of nanoparticles (NPs) in different technologies has led to tremendous advancement in those fields.  Moreover, there is growing interest in application of ultra-small NPs (USNPs) at 1-3 nm due to their distinct molecule like features. Parallel to these promises, there is a growing concern regarding their safety. READ MORE

  5. 3. Affective Borderscapes : Constructing, Enacting and Contesting Borders across the Southeastern Mediterranean

    Author : Ioanna Wagner Tsoni; James W. Scott; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : Migration; Affect; Borders; Borderscapes; Mediterranean; Greece; Aegean Sea; Lesvos; Refugees;

    Abstract : In the wake of a sociopolitically volatile era, which is increasingly characterized by the intensive and extensive proliferation of borders, the management of borders and migration are considered as predominantly rational and dispassionate processes. Their functions and filtering mechanisms, however, are increasingly underpinned by the instrumental top-down exertion of affective power and by the cultivation of emotional dispositions among political communities.
