This article analyzes how gendered and queer refugee bodies navigate the intertwined dynamics of mobility, immobility, and survival in Turkey and Lebanon. Drawing on multi-sited fieldwork with Syrian women and LGBTQI individuals, it shows how patriarchal, heteronormative, and increasingly hostile asylum environments shape refugees’ everyday movements, risk perceptions, and prospects for onward mig
Student attendance has been found to be a crucial factor impacting their learning in higher education. In recent years, however, student absenteeism has been a growing problem, suggesting that attendance is not viewed as essential for students. This study aimed to explore why students in their first years in engineering education decide not to attend learning activities. A qualitative study includ
An artistic research fable that articulates how Prompt-Based AI is affected by a model collapse emerging from “AI autophagy” (Xing, X., et al., 2025) at it’s design core, where “the data they generate end up polluting the training set of the next generation" (Shumailov, I. , et al., 2024).The fable raises questions such as asking if Prompt-Based AI already operates inside a New Autocoprophagic Dig
Automated storage systems and large-scale freezers can be challenging for conventional fire protection systems. Instead, an oxygen reduction system (ORS) could be a suitable option. In an ORS the design oxygen concentration is the key parameter for the level of protection achieved by the system. However, current methods for determining this concentration yield varying results and either require la
This work considers infinite-horizon optimal control of positive linear systems applied to the case of network routing problems. We demonstrate the equivalence between Stochastic Shortest Path (SSP) problems and optimal control of a certain class of linear systems. This is used to construct a heuristic search framework for linear positive systems inspired by existing methods for SSP. We propose a
I den här studien undersöks hur delaktighet för barn och unga som är placerade i familjehem formas i mötet med en organisatoriskt specialiserad socialtjänst. I arbetet kring barnet är flera yrkesroller inblandade, och kontakten med socialtjänsten präglas ofta av flera byten av socialsekreterare. Delaktighet handlar därför inte bara om att få komma till tals, utan också om hur barnets röst ges utryA foster care placement is a far-reaching intervention in children’s and young people’s lives, as it entails changes in everyday life, relationships, and contact with social services.When children and young people are placed in foster care, questions of participation arise in their encounters with social services, where work concerning the child is often organizationally specialized. In such an or
Cancer progression is driven by early dysregulation of the immune system and tumor-intrinsic mechanisms. Hypoxia, lactate accumulation and IL-6 signaling induce highly overlapping tumor-promoting effects, including angiogenesis, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, metastasis, immune evasion and treatment resistance, suggesting that these pathways interact and amplify one another. This parallel acti
STUDY QUESTION: Do donor-conceived adolescents in lesbian- and heterosexual-couple families intend to request information about their identity-release oocyte or sperm donor? SUMMARY ANSWER: While more than half of adolescents intended to request donor information, being uncertain about making such requests was quite common, particularly among adolescents reporting better family functioning and tho
This national report shows that Swedish contract law is structured around a historically layered and theoretically contested conception of contractual fairness. Classical doctrine associated fairness with voluntariness and legal certainty within a formally liberal model centred on pacta sunt servanda. Developments connected to the welfare state, crystallised in Section 36 of the Contracts Act (191
Prenatal air pollution exposure has been associated with impaired fetal growth. However, the underlying biological mechanisms, potentially involving the placenta, remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal air pollution exposure on placental biomarkers of oxidative stress and cellular ageing, and to determine whether these biomarkers contribute to the associa
Health is widely recognized as shaped by social and structural conditions, yet time remains largely absent from dominant public health frameworks. This paper brings together sociological and epidemiological perspectives to argue that time is a fundamental dimension of health that has been insufficiently articulated. Rather than proposing a new determinant, it reframes time as an essential conditio
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of diffuse parenchymal lung disorders associated with progressive fibrosis, impaired gas exchange, and substantial morbidity. In recent years, the coexistence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in ILD has emerged as an underrecognized yet clinically meaningful overlap. Evidence indicates that OSA is highly prevalent in ILD—even among n
Jaynes–Cummings Hamiltonian provides the elemental description of a two-level system interacting with a photonic mode. In this work, we review the Jaynes–Cummings formalism for an electronic two-level system. The purpose is to summarize and connect together the key theory concepts relevant for the transmission response probed typically in the experiments. The review provides a photonic mode descri
Lead-halide perovskites are a promising material platform as semiconductors in next-generation solar cells because of their solution processability, defect tolerance, and tunable optoelectronic properties. Mixed iodide–bromide perovskite compositions are attractive as wide-bandgap absorbers but suffer from significant operational instabilities. Incorporation of chloride to form triple-halide perov
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes classified into the auxiliary activity (AA) families of the CAZy database. They oxidatively cleave glycosidic bonds in recalcitrant polysaccharides, playing a key role in biomass degradation and contributing to the virulence of some pathogens. The redox state of the active-site copper and its coordination geometry are central
Objectives: To evaluate quality of life, patient-reported outcomes, and survivorship after different nodal staging strategies in endometrial cancer, with a focus on lower-extremity lymphedema after sentinel lymph node mapping versus lymphadenectomy. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist. M
Historical peatland drainage resulted in surface subsidence and reduced water storage capacity (WSC), a process that can be exacerbated by climate change. We assessed the effects of rewetting on WSC using mesocosm experiments in climate chambers, field measurements, and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) analysis. Results showed that rewetting significantly increased WSC under both p
