Some young foreign/second language (L2) learners of English hardly know a single English word when starting school instruction. Others know many thanks to extensive English use outside of school, extramural English (EE). By investigating young L2 learners’ vocabulary knowledge at the onset of formal instruction, we can explore what roles EE may have for incidental learning prior to instruction. To
The ecosystem response to disturbances is a central topic in ecology, and there is growing awareness of the impacts of human-driven climate change on ecosystem stability to disturbances. Terrestrial ecosystems are increasingly exposed to more drought and rainfall events as climate change intensifies. In soils, bacteria and fungi play a key role in ecosystem functioning, yet their responses to drou

This study investigates the incentives and barriers influencing AI ethics adoption in unregulated environments, drawing on semi‐structured interviews with AI professionals in Bangladesh. Our findings reveal that external pressures, such as international client requirements, drive companies to implement ethical measures, yielding both economic benefits and enhanced reputation. Conversely, tight dea
Detecting a single elementary charge has become an important task to achieve as applications within quantumtechnologies such as for qubit readout, nanothermodynamics or single shot photodetection rely on the locationof single electrons. The use of microwave resonators as the readout method for the charge sensitive single electrondevices, such as quantum dots, has been extensively used to achieve h
Let μ be a positive measure supported on a planar domain Ω. We consider the behavior of the balayage measure ν:=Bal(μ,∂Ω) near a point z0∈∂Ω at which Ω has an outward-pointing cusp. Assuming that the order and coefficient of tangency of the cusp are d>0 and a>0, respectively, and that dμ(z)≍|z-z0|2b-2d2z as z→z0 for some b>0 (here d2z is the Lebesgue measure on C), we obtain the leading order term
Heterogeneous integration of III-V narrow bandgap transistors on silicon technology is desirable for high frequency circuit implementations. Such high-speed transistors must, however, scale to large gate widths to be suitable for general circuit design. Averaging among many variable channels is a key challenge for nanowire devices. A simplified, but high-speed compatible, nanowire device process w
We report a Mueller matrix ellipsometer design using dual continuously rotating anisotropic meta wave plates, which determines the full set of Mueller matrix elements in the terahertz spectral range. The instrument operates in the frequency domain and employs a frequency tunable, solid state synthesizer based, continuous wave terahertz source with sub-MHz bandwidth. The implemented source permits
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent condition observed across various medical specialties, including gastroenterology, otorhinolaryngology, surgery and primary care. Despite the routine prescription of proton pump inhibitors, some patients fail to experience adequate symptom relief. This review delves into the multifactorial mechanisms of reflux, which extend beyond hydrochloric
Herbicides are one of the most heavily applied groups of pesticides globally. Whilst research on herbicides in relation to bees is growing, we still have more to learn about how bees may interact with herbicides and the subsequent consequences for bee health. As herbicides are designed to kill the plants they are applied to, bees and other pollinators may interact with them in a different way to o
The bryophyte flora of the canyon Rövarekulan in Skåne, southern-most Sweden, has been thoroughly investigated as reported herein. Including historic records, a total of 200 taxa have been reported, whereof 181 were found in 2023–2024. The most spectacular finding was that of a small population of Didymodon luridus, until recently regarded as extinct in Sweden, growing in a crack in a south-facing
The story of a literature review
Using real-variable methods, we characterise multipliers for general classes of Hardy-Orlicz spaces, unifying and extending several classical results due to Hardy and Littlewood; Duren and Shields; Paley; and others. Applications of our results include inequalities involving Fourier coefficients and Fourier transforms of elements of Hardy-Orlicz spaces and their duals, as well as embeddings into s
The present study investigates the thermoacoustic instability for triangular bluff-body stabilized flames using high fidelity Large Eddy Simulations with finite-rate chemistry. The study includes premixed propane-air combustion, studying the triggering of the thermoacoustic instability for different parameters such as, incoming turbulence intensity, inlet velocity and temperature, and equivalence
The doctoral period is often described as a linear path, omitting the human dimensions of becoming a scholar. In this volume, the imaginary of the PhD education in Sweden is expanded through the metaphor of the PhD wanderer— an early-career academic venturing into unknown terrains, sometimes becoming lost, at other times finding exciting directions, committing to new routes, and encountering new t
