Bloomsburys description: This book examines schools as dynamic social arenas where everyday interactions are shaped by broader institutional conditions. Drawing on sociological theory - particularly Erving Goffman’s interactionism and dramaturgical perspective - Ingrid Bosseldal and Anders Persson analyze how teachers and students perform and negotiate roles within the classroom while also conside
CVD α-Al2O3 coatings on cemented carbides are widely used in steel turning, where cutting tool performance is strongly dependent on the crystallographic texture of the α-Al2O3 layer. Residual stress, cooling-crack density, and hardness are key factors influencing coating integrity during machining. Although texture has been reported to affect these properties, trends remain inconsistent in the lit
Background: The knowledge of the long-term consequences of covid-19 is limited. In patients, symptoms such as fatigue, decreased physical, psychological, and cognitive function, and nutritional problems have been reported. How the disease has affected next of kin, as well as staff involved in the care of patients with covid-19, is also largely unknown. The overall aim of this study is therefore th
Burnishing has shown potential to improve the corrosion, fatigue and wear resistance of stainless steels. In this study, the surface integrity induced by burnishing in AISI 316Ti was characterized using a multi-technique approach based on Electron Channeling Contrast Imaging (ECCI), Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and nanoindentation. Slide burnishing with a diamond tool was carried out un
Dysphagia occurs commonly in the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite the clinical relevance, there is little worldwide research on prevention, assessment, evaluation, and/or treatment of dysphagia for ICU patients. We aimed to gain insight into this international knowledge gap. We conducted a multi-center, international online cross-sectional survey of adult ICUs. Local survey distribution champion
Kapitlet undersöker hur förståelsen av transnationell adoption i Sverige har förändrats över tid och hur erfarenheter som tidigare fallit utanför den dominerande föreställningsramen successivt har bidragit till att omforma denna. Med utgångspunkt i Erving Goffmans ramanalys, Johan Asplunds teori om tankefigurer och Eviatar Zerubavels kognitiva sociologi analyseras samspelet mellan social praxis, d
Non-intubated patients with acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19 could benefit from awake proning. Awake proning is an attractive intervention in settings with limited resources, as it comes with no additional costs. However, awake proning remains poorly used probably because of unfamiliarity and uncertainties regarding potential benefits and practical application. To summarize evidence for b
This commentary uses the final season of Stranger Things as a point of departure for reflecting on contemporary ideas about the purpose of education. Drawing on Gert Biesta’s distinction between qualification, socialisation and subjectification, it discusses how current debates about the crisis of schooling tend to privilege measurable knowledge, performance and order, while leaving little room fo
We introduce to spectral noncommutative geometry the notion of tangled spectral triple, which encompasses the anisotropies arising in parabolic geometry as well as the parabolic commutator bounds arising in so-called “bad Kasparov products”. Tangled spectral triples incorporate anisotropy by replacing the unbounded operator in a spectral triple that mimics a Dirac operator with several unbounded o
This commentary discusses problematic school absenteeism and questions explanations that locate the problem primarily within the individual child. Drawing on Barbro Lindgren’s novel Jättehemligt, contemporary debate and research on school absenteeism, it highlights the importance of relationships, supportive adults and gradual pathways back to school. The article argues that prolonged absence shou
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: – The treatment of displaced odontoid type II fractures in the elderly is controversial. The objective of this study was to compare surgical intervention with cervical collar treatment.METHODS: – This open-label, randomized controlled superiority trial included neurologically intact participants 75 years and older with displaced odontoid type II fractures, randomized to
Artikeln diskuterar en rapport från Skolverket som visar att betygsskillnaderna mellan flickor och pojkar minskar, främst till följd av försämrade resultat bland grupper av flickor. Med utgångspunkt i rapportens begränsningar problematiseras en skoldebatt och kunskapssyn som i hög grad förlitar sig på statistik och kvantitativ evidens. Artikeln argumenterar för behovet av historiska, pedagogiska,
Artikeln diskuterar Adoptionskommissionens slutsatser om allvarliga oegentligheter inom internationell adoption till Sverige och förslaget om en offentlig ursäkt till adopterade och deras familjer. Med utgångspunkt i både den svenska adoptionshistorien och egna erfarenheter som adoptivförälder problematiseras bilden av internationell adoption som en räddningsaktion. Särskilt diskuteras vad en offe
Artikeln diskuterar hur förståelsen av transnationell adoption har förändrats i takt med att nya erfarenheter och perspektiv har tillkommit. Med utgångspunkt i den svenska adoptionshistorien analyseras förskjutningen från bilden av adoption som en humanitär räddningsaktion till en ökad medvetenhet om korruption, övergrepp och adopterades och biologiska föräldrars erfarenheter. Avslutningsvis disku
Intersectional and justice approaches to climate adaptation are increasingly recognized by scholars and policymakers as essential for understanding the complexities of climate vulnerability and preventing the exacerbation of inequalities. Yet little research to date explores what intersectional adaptation justice entails in Sweden, a country often perceived as highly equal and relatively invulnera
We present the 4MOST-HR resolution non–local thermal equilibrium (NLTE) Payne artificial neural network (ANN), trained on 404,793 new FGK spectra with 16 elements computed in NLTE. This network will be part of the Stellar Abundances and atmospheric Parameters Pipeline (SAPP), which will analyze 4 million stars during the 5 yr long 4MOST consortium 4: 4MOST MIlky way Disc And BuLgE High-Resolution
Following Turkey’s 2018 currency crisis, the government introduced four key housing re-regulations which reduced mortgage interest rates, investment-based citizenship incentives, rent increase limitations, and monetary easing to stimulate economic recovery. This study examines how state-led financialization of housing disproportionately favours middle- and high-income groups while limiting access
Ageing refers to a decline in individual performance with increasing age that ultimately leads to a reduction in organismal fitness. Although the physiological causes of ageing are likely to be diverse, a decrease in mitochondrial function may play a central role, as mitochondria generate over 90% of the energy used by eukaryotic cells. Despite support from human and laboratory studies, the effect
We study variational shrinkage in the sparse normal means model and compare it with the corresponding exact Bayes shrinkage rule. The focus is on the excess quadratic risk of the variational posterior mean. Using a squared-loss decomposition, we show that this excess risk is bounded by the discrepancy between the variational and exact Bayes estimators together with the benchmark Bayes risk. This y
