The article examines Starbucks as a global cultural symbol whose success varies sharply across contexts, contrasting its exceptional growth in South Korea with its near failure in Sweden. In Korea, Starbucks has thrived by pioneering localized marketing and spatial design strategies, enjoying unusual autonomy from headquarters and shaping new consumption patterns; however, recent controversies hav

The collagen triple helix assembles hierarchically into bundled oligomers, solvated networks, and fibers. Synthetic peptide assemblies, driven by supramolecular interactions, can form single triple helices through intrahelical amino acid pairs; however, the principles guiding interhelical associations into higher-order structures remain unclear. Here, we incorporate cation−π and electrostatic char
In the fast-evolving arena of climate finance, equitable access to and allocation of funds for adaptation continue to pose a significant and urgent challenge. In theory, to prepare for the impacts of climate change in an equitable way, regional, national, and European Union (EU) funding tenders on climate adaptation should prioritize the most climate-vulnerable local administrations. However, evid
Packaging-free grocery shopping enables consumers to avoid single-use packaging and buy specific quantities tailored to their needs. Despite its benefits, it faces challenges such as limited product variety and availability. This qualitative study explores the motivations, behaviors, and strategies of individuals who engage in or discontinue packaging-free shopping, including how they combine pack
Rapid urbanization in Guangdong Province has severely impacted river systems due to limited understanding of the sustainability of river connectivity and functions. This study applies the Minimum Cumulative Resistance Model (MCRM) to quantify expansion costs of natural and social processes, with their difference defined as the River Ecological Sensitivity (RES) index. Higher RES values indicate th
Background: Access to safe and timely blood transfusion is a cornerstone of modern healthcare but depends on a stable supply of voluntary donations and rigorous hemovigilance systems. O-negative red blood cells are universally compatible and essential for emergency transfusions; however, their scarcity, particularly in low-resource regions, poses significant challenges. To address this challenge,
Thomas Götselius' forsknningsprofil förenar teknologi och humaniora. Artikeln analyserar dels en likhet mellan de två områdena; den kunskapsteoretiska basen i den språkliga fantasin, (Rorty) , dels en olilkhet: den begreppsliga skärpan i naturvetenskapen, visavi den begreppsliga variationen i humaniora, vars begrepp är underkastad historien och brukarna.
Children’s FinTech apps are digital mobile platforms that incorporate features for managing children’s financial activities ranging from the setting and tracking of chores, the payment of allowances or pocket money, the capacity for saving and spending, and the facilitation of investment options. As we show in this paper, a key aspect of these child money and finance apps is the inclusion of playf
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: – The prognosis for functional independence after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) relies largely on patients' initial clinical status, age, and extent of the bleeding. However, some patients have poor outcome despite initially being in good clinical condition. The aim of this study was to analyze factors related to unfavorable outcome in patients with good clin
Human pluripotent stem cell-derived in vitro models, combined with advances in high-content live-cell calcium imaging, provide a powerful platform for disease modeling and drug screening. However, most calcium imaging analysis tools have been developed for in vivo applications with suboptimal features for processing data from cultured neurons. Here, we present LUMIN (Live-cell User Module for Imag
Niacinamide (NIA) is a widely used skincare ingredient with established benefits for skin barrier support, inflammation reduction, and dermal health. However, the mechanisms governing its transdermal delivery remain insufficiently understood, particularly regarding how formulation pH influences its permeation through the stratum corneum (SC). This study investigates how donor phase pH (5.0 vs. 7.4
Recognising the need for PQC signature schemes with different sizes and performance trade-offs than the ML-DSA and SLH-DSA standards, in 2023, NIST launched a competition for additional signature algorithms. Among the current candidates in this competition is CROSS, a code-based scheme derived from the syndrome-decoding problem and suitable for memory-constrained devices. This paper presents a fau
This chapter addresses ten “themes” (or conclusions). It starts with conclusions on the various themes that the author has addressed in many articles, books, and reports over the decades. Each conclusion constitutes a section heading, followed by some of the arguments in a much shorter form than when the conclusions were reached originally – over the decades. Therefore, much of the text is heavily
We study a generalisation of the one-dimensional Rademacher random walk introduced in Bhattacharya and Volkov (ALEA Lat. Am. J. Probab. Math. Stat. 20(1):33–51, 2023) to Z2 (for d≥3, the Rademacher random walk is always transient, as follows from Theorem 8.8 in Engländer and Volkov (Coin Turning, Random Walks and Inhomogeneous Markov Chains, World Scientific and Volkov, Singapore, 2025)). This wal
Uncertainty often seems to be articulated as doubts about the interior make-up of things. Suspecting that persons, objects, institutions and ideologies are not what they seem, critical voices accuse them of emptiness and they are thus laid open to new investments of meaning and value. Ethnographies of contemporary China describe how state discourse on population quality constructs ‘the people’ in
In the context of an international trend of claims for historical justice, several aspects of Swedish contemporary history were re-evaluated in the 1990s. One of the most well-known examples is the heated political and scholarly debate on involuntary sexual sterilization, sparked by a series of critical newspaper articles in August 1997 that attracted international media attention and resulted in
Persistent physical symptoms (PPS) are common, disabling, and associated with high health care use, yet effective and scalable psychological treatments remain limited. Internet-administrated self-help programs may improve access to care. Asynchronous Internet-administered Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (I-EAET) with therapist guidance has been shown to reduce somatic symptoms in PPS, b
Insect diapause is a pre-programmed alternative developmental pathway induced to survive adverse environmental conditions and is characterized by an absence of development, metabolic suppression and increased stress resistance. While the hormonal regulation of diapause induction has been studied extensively, clear molecular hypotheses on how low-temperature driven diapause termination is controlle
