Isospin symmetry, combined with shell-model description, has long been successful in reproducing nuclear structure and predicting mirror energy differences. However, these descriptions have been primarily limited to mirror nuclei with well-bound ground states. As one approaches the proton drip line, coupling to the continuum becomes important. Despite this, little is known about medium-mass nuclei
Many powder X-ray diffraction, total scattering, and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments at synchrotron facilities yield azimuthally integrated intensity data, yet current practice relies on facility-specific data formats that hinder inter-operability and reuse. We propose a standardized HDF5-based format within the NeXus convention (NXazint), designed to store 1D and 2D integrated data along
Demonstration of a nontrivial result of quasiparticle exchange (or braiding) is usually considered the definitive proof of a topological phase with non-Abelian excitations, such as Majorana bound states (MBSs). However, in finite systems with disorder and smooth potential variations, the MBSs are imperfect in the sense that they are not fully isolated in space and can, to a varying degree, resembl
Protecting qubits from perturbations is a central challenge in quantum computing. Topological superconductors with separated Majorana bound states (MBSs) provide a strong form of protection that only depends on the locality of perturbations. While the link between MBS separation, robust degeneracy, and protected braiding is well understood in noninteracting systems, recent experimental progress in
Kan en restprodukt från skogsindustrin göra våra vägar mer hållbara? Studien visar att tallbecksolja kan ersätta delar av fossil bitumen utan att försämra asfaltens kvalitet och i vissa fall till och med förbättra den. Resultaten pekar på att biobaserade bindemedel kan bli ett viktigt steg mot mer klimatvänliga och hållbara vägar.The road construction industry is associated with high energy consumption and significant greenhouse gas emissions due to the extensive use of petroleum-based bitumen. To support a more sustainable society, bio-based alternatives such as tall oil pitch (TOP), a by-product from the pulp industry, have gained increasing interest as partial substitutes for conventional bitumen. However, the long-term
Reflective practice serves as an important mechanism for developinginterpersonal skills in communication training. This paperreports on an online chat-based exercise conducted ata university in Sweden since 2021 as part of social work communicationtraining. The exercise responds to a growing demand fordigital communication training for future social workers and aims tostimulate students’ reflectio
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
Money is central to capitalism and its sustainability crises. This article argues that it is not money itself, but its internal design and governance – how it is created, distributed, and governed – that drives inequality, ecological degradation, and unsustainable growth. Yet, money’s architecture is not fixed; it can be reimagined to foster fairer, greener economies.Approaching money as a socio-t
A key challenge in developing sustainable cities is establishing circular infrastructure systems. Decentralised urban water management solutions (DUWMS) are a case in point: Innovative DUWMS that allow recycling the water, heat, energy, or nutrients contained in wastewater locally are currently emerging in cities around the world. These systems could significantly enhance cities’ water resilience
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 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
Identifying high-temperature unconventional charge order and superconductivity in kagome systems is crucial for understanding frustrated, correlated electrons and enabling future quantum technologies. Here, we report that the kagome superconductor YRu3Si2 hosts an exceptional interplay of charge order, magnetism, and superconductivity, revealed through a comprehensive suite of muon spin rotation (
The cuprate superconductor La2−xBaxCuO4 (LBCO) near x = 0.125 is a striking example of intertwined electronic orders, where 3D superconductivity is anomalously suppressed, allowing spin and charge stripe order to develop. Understanding this interplay remains a key challenge in cuprates, highlighting the necessity of external tuning for deeper insight. While in-plane uniaxial stress enhances superc
Single motherhood has long been a feature of European family systems, but its meaning and determinants have changed substantially over time. Using longitudinal individual-level data from the Scanian Economic and Demographic Database (SEDD), covering southern Sweden between 1905 and 2015, we examine the changing demography of single motherhood from a long-term life course perspective. We analyze ho
What happens when the infrastructure designed to connect a city ends up dividing it instead? This thesis investigates the relationship between urban mobility and spatial justice, examining how roads, railways, and transit corridors generate barriers that are not only physical but social and cultural: separating communities, limiting access to opportunity, and reinforcing patterns of inequality ins
