Autoethnography is an increasingly used method to promote individual and group reflexivity in research, not the least in healthcare. However, autoethnography's uptake among practitioners is impeded by the fact that it has not been adequately adapted to practitioner settings from its academic origins. This article analyzes the experience of a research team comprised of practitioners/surgeons and so

Energy management in urban areas is challenging due to diverse energy users, dynamics environmental conditions, and the added complexity and instability of extreme weather events. We incorporate adaptive reinforcement learning (ARL) into energy management (EM) and introduce a novel approach, called ARLEM. An online, value-based, model-free ARL engine is designed that updates its policy periodicall

With the world facing severe ecological degradation, we hear calls for radical change more and more often. One of these calls is for degrowth in materially wealthy nations, including the Nordics. Degrowth fundamentally challenges the modern assumption that economic growth is good for humanity and the planet, and therefore necessitates change in civil society, state and production. In the contempor

Artikeln tar sin utgångspunkt i Inspektionen för socialförsäkringens rapport om utmaningarna som plattformsarbetare möter i socialförsäkringarna och den pågående diskussionen om den särskilda bedömning för behovsanställda som infördes i sjukförsäkringen 1 februari 2022. Artikeln diskuterar vidare den flexibilisering som skett av den svenska arbetsrättsliga modellen och dess konsekvenser i relation

Pathways to Sustainable Welfare critically examines how cities can address the dual challenges of climate change and sustainability while ensuring the welfare of their populations.Focused on three Swedish cities, it explores the integration of environmental and welfare concerns in local policies, urban movements and public opinions. Based on theories of inertia, emergence and transformation, it id

Kapitel om olika förhållningssätt till monument, från bildstormande till ointresse med exempel från skånska statydebatter under det senaste årtiondet.Chapter on different approaches to monuments, from iconoclasm to disinterested, with examples from Scanian statue debates over the past decade.

We reconstruct Quantum Mechanics in a way that harmonizes with classical mechanics and electromagnetism, free from mysteries or paradoxes such as the collapse of the wave function or Schrödinger’s cat. The construction is inspired by de Broglie’s and Schrödinger’s wave mechanics, while the unifying principle is Hamilton’s principle of least action, which separates natural laws from particular circ

This article uses a new database of 1,891 probate inventories from rural southern Sweden to investigate the development of rural households’ productive capacity from the late 1600s to the 1860s. Both labourers and farmers improved their material living standards – as measured by the contents of probate inventories – but the labouring households’ ownership of means of production decreased over timeThis article uses a new database of 1,891 probate inventories from rural southern Sweden to investigate the development of rural households’ productive capacity from the late 1600s to the 1860s.

Achieving sustainable water resource utilization requires a holistic management approach that recognizes the knowledge and values of different stakeholders through a comprehensive participation approach. This study evaluates the indigenous knowledge and technologies employed in watershed management by analyzing qualitative and quantitative data from six villages in the Mara River Basin area. Data

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of everyday leisure travel for social and recreational trip purposes by describing and problematising car use for such trips. Leisure trips are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and reductions are needed to mitigate climate change. Technical solutions, such as electric vehicles, contribute but research has demonstrate
