We present a summary of ideas that attempt to explain how the locomotor cerebellum may represent and process information. It includes the proposals that (i) the main network computation is a passive and unlearned effect of cell type morphologies and neural architecture; (ii) information has topographically defined spatial dimensions; (iii) it is coded at collective level, at any instant, in any ra

In this report, we present findings from a Swedish Universities of the Built Environment (SBU) project (2023) where we collected and synthesized examples of pedagogic tools used to strengthen students’ conceptual understanding in structural engineering—i.e., understanding key structural concepts, how they relate to each other, and how they connect to real-world structures and practice. The project

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes a critical pillar of industrial competitiveness and national strategy, Sweden is pursuing a sovereign AI approach through the establishment of Sferical AI, a joint venture involving leading companies such as AstraZeneca, Ericsson, Saab, SEB, Wallenberg Investments, and SKF. The initiative aims to reduce reliance on foreign cloud providers and build world-cla

PurposeThis study aims to explore nudging as a technique and mechanism for driving sustainability, with a particular focus on the influence of business-to-business (B2B) network relationships and marketing strategies in the polymer manufacturing industry.Design/methodology/approachThis research uses a qualitative single-case design with a critical case rationale to explore experiences and perspect

PurposeThis study aims to investigate how stakeholder cocreation in 3D city mapping initiatives can extend the role of digital urban platforms beyond administrative efficiency toward the negotiation and enhancement of place attractiveness. Drawing on a participatory case study of Trollhättan, Sweden, the paper explores the needs, expectations and aspirations articulated by diverse stakeholder grou

PurposeThis paper aims to examine how governance structures and actor dynamics shape knowledge integration in digital place innovation. Collaborative governance research emphasizes coordination and consensus-building, but less is known about how municipalities and private firms integrate heterogeneous knowledge systems when co-creating digital solutions for urban centers. Conceptualizing digital p

I undertake a comparative doctrinal study of the due diligence and liability provisions of the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, also accounting for some of the changes and omissions proposed under the so-called “Omnibus” process to streamline the already passed directive. In relation to the due diligence provisions, my main thrust is in comparing the directive to

IntroductionAnal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is an HPV-related tumor primarily treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Salvage surgery is reserved for patients with residual or recurrent disease following CRT, representing a highly selected, high-risk subgroup. Population-based data on outcomes and prognostic factors after salvage surgery are limited. This study aimed to assess overall

At Dagsmosse in south-central Sweden, evidence from well-preserved Mesolithic wetland sites (10,200–7000 cal a BP) demonstrates occupation continuity among Hunter-Gatherer-Fisher (HGF) communities in wetland areas. This study presents detailed environmental reconstructions of the Dagsmosse basin, where Mesolithic fishing and dwelling activities were recorded. Focusing on the Preboreal–Boreal biozo

Stroke represents one of the most significant global health challenges of the 21st century, with 11.9 million people experiencing stroke annually and a disproportionate burden falling on low- and middle-income countries, where 87% of stroke deaths and 89% of disability occur. Despite stroke being highly preventable—with 84% of the burden attributable to modifiable risk factors—and the availability

The concept of “vulnerable plaque” (VP) has been evolving since its introduction as an atherosclerotic plaque prone to cause cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Once defined as a thin-cap fibroatheroma prone to rupture, it now encompasses more atherosclerotic lesion types, including plaque erosion, fissure, and calcified nodules. Along with deeper understanding of plaq

Background: Guidelines recommend systemic thrombolysis (ST) as first-line reperfusion therapy for highrisk pulmonary embolism (PE), however, clinical concerns regarding bleeding risk frequently limit its use in clinical practice. Catheter-directed therapy (CDT) should be considered when ST is contraindicated or has failed but is increasingly used outside these recommendations despite limited guide

In this paper, we present three studies in which we develop and test different representations of intonation contours and prosodic stress with the aim to provide foreign language learners with a notation that they can easily interpret. Study I addresses learners’ productions of target intonation based on six common notation systems. The results reveal how learners themselves make sense of the diff

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most important complication after left pancreatectomy. Superiority of hand-sewn closure or stapler closure of pancreatic stump in terms of short-term outcomes is not established. The aim of this study was to compare short-term surgical outcomes between the 2 modalities after left pancreatectomy. STUDY DESIGN: An international, multicenter,
