In this article I discuss whether viewing safety as a necessary condition for knowing entails that the truth-conditions for knowledge is context-sensitive. I argue that, while it is far from clear-cut, there is at least not a strict entailment between the positing of safety as necessary for knowledge and the context-sensitivity of knowledge, and so, that one can remain an invariantist about knowleIn this article I discuss whether viewing safety as a necessary condition for knowing entails that the truth-conditions for knowledge is context-sensitive.

Since 2011, LUNARC has aimed to provide an interactive HPC environment for its resource users. Several different architectures have been used, but since 2013, we have been using a remote desktop environment based on Cendio's ThinLinc [1] combined with a custom backend framework, GfxLauncher [2], supporting hardware-accelerated graphics applications and Jupyter Notebooks [3] submitted to the backen

This paper examines the distributive effects of personal income taxation in Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States during the first half of the 20th century. We estimate the evolution of marginal and average effective tax rates across the income distribution and calculate the corresponding indices of progressivity and redistribution. Our results show that redistribution through income t

När vi nu står inför en samhällelig strukturomvandling med digitalisering och AI-utveckling är många oroliga för att arbeten kommer att försvinna. Det kommer de säkert, men det kan också tillkomma nya jobb – om vi lär oss av historien och spelar våra kort rätt, skriver välfärdsforskaren Andreas Bergh och Joakim Wernberg, lektor i teknik och samhälle.

Green Hydrogen has been hailed as a game changer in climate actions, yet both global hydrogen markets and governance frameworks remain underdeveloped. The EU aims to pioneer a regulatory pathway, embedding hydrogen into its decarbonization governance framework. Centered on renewable hydrogen, the EU moves beyond “color-coding” technical classifications towards an emission-intensity-based legal def

Background and aims: Environmental and genetic factors predispose to cardiovascular disease. Some first-generation immigrants have a higher cardiovascular risk in Sweden, while less is known about second-generation immigrants. We aimed to analyze the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among second-generation immigrants in Sweden. Methods: We included all individuals 18 years of age and olde

Background and aim: Telomere length (TL) is a key biomarker of cellular aging, with shorter telomeres associated with age-related diseases. Lifestyle interventions mitigating telomere shortening are essential for preventing such conditions. This study aimed to examine the effects of two weight loss dietary strategies, based on a moderately high-protein (MHP) diet and a low-fat (LF) diet on TL in i

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is a highly nonlinear optical process in which extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation is generated due to the interaction of an intense laser field with atoms. This process enables the production of high harmonics, which would not be achieved with standard nonlinear media. The utilization of two-color laser fields (formed by combining a fundamental field with one

Klimatförändringar är antagligen en av de största utmaningarna i modern tid, där förhöjda halter av växthusgaser i atmosfären har förödande konsekvenser på jordens livsuppehållande system. Koldioxid är ansedd som den mest utsläppta växthusgasen, vilket har lett till ett ökat intresse för koldioxidinfångning. Ett sätt för att minska de förhöjda halterna av koldioxid i atmosfären är genom koldioxidiWith climate change being one of the greatest challenges of our time, interest in carbon dioxide removal and mitigation has increased, as a way of minimizing emissions. As a result, carbon capture has become a key focus in the industry. One of the most common chemical absorption techniques is carbon capture using hot potassium carbonate (HPC). This process operates at an elevated absorber pressure

Background: National stroke clinical quality registries/audits support improvements in stroke care. In a 2016 systematic review, 28 registries were identified. Since 2016 there have been important advances in stroke care, including the development of thrombectomy services. Therefore, we sought to understand whether registries have evolved with these advances in care. The aim of this systematic rev

Warfare has been commonly associated with increasing levels of inflation, with important implications for tax systems. In this chapter, we first review the literature on war finance and inflation, considering both the fiscal causes of inflation during wartimes and the effects of inflation on tax revenues. Second, we focus on developments in the income tax during the World Wars, building upon our p

In recent years, the electrification of buses in public transport systems has increased in both scale and pace. Today, there are several examples of how this transition has been handled in public transport, with partly or fully electrified bus fleets in regular operations in many cities.The research project e(+)bus has focused on how the transition to electric buses has been handled in six Swedish

Several studies have evaluated various ML techniques and found promising results in classifying bug reports. However, these studies have used different evaluation designs, making it difficult to compare their results. Furthermore, they have focused primarily on accuracy and did not consider other potentially relevant factors such as generalizability, explainability, and maintenance cost. These two
