The emerging field of geo-foundation models (GeoFM) has the potential to reshape GeoAI and spatial data science research, education, and practice. In this work, we motivate and define the term and put it into its historic context within GeoAI and spatial data science more broadly. Next, we review core datasets, models, and benchmarks. Based on this overview of the state-of-the-art, we introduce ke
Background and purpose — Data on effectiveness of nighttime bracing compared with full-time bracing in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is scarce. We aimed to investigate risk of curve progression and surgery with nighttime bracing vs full-time bracing for patients with moderate-grade adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Methods — Skeletally immature individuals with idiopathic scoliosis (25°–40°) trea
Recent upgrades in synchrotron radiation facilities, which now produce highly brilliant and coherent beams, result in a broader array of experiments challenging the available detectors. In X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) experiments, detector performance is often a limiting factor, especially with the high photon fluxes from upgraded facilities. Within this context, a consortium of European
Despite high country-level gender equality, intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is common in Sweden. In discussion about this apparent paradox, the complexity of gender in/equality has been highlighted. Drawing on the domains considered in the EIGE gender equality index (work, money, knowledge, time, power, and health), and based on thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with
Background: The diagnostic performance of the IOTA methods, the O-RADS lexicon, and the RMI has been validated in prospective and retrospective studies, but most validation studies tested the performance in the hands of experienced ultrasound examiners. Objective: To prospectively validate the performance of the Risk of Malignancy Index, the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis Simple Rules Risk M
This dissertation discusses various issues relating to Iron Age settlements in the area around the central place of Uppåkra. Most of the sites have been excavated by contract archaeology. The discussion begins with a presentation of the material from the houses in the settlements, detailing the different construction types and discussing the functions and chronological aspects of the houses. The d
The independence of the judiciary is challenged in several ways. One is the populist narrative of the judges as elitist, another is artificial intelligence being introduced into judicial evaluation. The traditional ideal of positivistic objectivity underpins both these narratives, even though research has shown that emotions are a crucial part of rational decision making. By scrutinising legal decThe independence of the judiciary is challenged in several ways.

The aim of this chapter is to outline a theoretical framework for the comparative study of emotions in Western legal systems of different countries. Our focus is on the legal actors, and our primary interest is how internal legal culture – conceptualized as ‘the emotive-cognitive judicial frame’ – is embedded in a broader context of a socio-culturally specific emotional regime.

Using judges and stage actors as instructive polar types this article elucidates factors that influence the inclination to empathise. Both come in close contact with dramatic life stories on an everyday basis but approach empathy from contrasting vantage points: emotional distance versus emotional engagement. Similarities between these polar types can thus disentangle some of the factors that inflUsing judges and stage actors as instructive polar types this article elucidates factors that influence the inclination to empathise.

This special issue of Oñati Socio-Legal Series, titled Judging, Emotion and Emotion Work, is the result of presentations and discussions during an interdisciplinary workshop at the International Institute for the Sociology of Law (IISL) held in May 2018. This issue builds on the growing critique of the dispassionate ideal of judicial work, combining original theoretical insights with imaginative e
Like other Western legal systems, the Swedish legal system constructs objectivity as an unemotional state of being. We argue that the enactment of objectivity in situ relies on objectivity work including emotion management and empathy. Building on qualitative interviews and observations in Swedish district courts, we analyse courtroom interaction through a dramaturgical lens, highlighting tacit siLike other Western legal systems, the Swedish legal system constructs objectivity as an unemotional state of being.

This chapter analyses humour from an emotion sociological perspective, linking humour to power, status, and group solidarity. It draws from about 300 observed trials and interviews with 43 judges and 41 prosecutors from four Swedish districts courts. Humour is sometimes skilfully used as a strategy to ease tension, relieve boredom or to reprimand. It is initiated/allowed by the judge, but high-staThis chapter analyses humour from an emotion sociological perspective, linking humour to power, status, and group solidarity.

Objectives ‒ Chronic pain is a major global public-health issue. In Sweden, 20% adults report moderate to severe chronic pain, with 7% continuously seeking healthcare. Shortcomings in treatment, accessibility, and knowledge in healthcare for chronic pain have previously been reported. A generic treatment structure from primary to specialized care and rehabilitation was missing. This study aims to
