This perspective article explores how sustainability transitions experience a geo-economization based on rising concerns about sovereignty. We argue that sovereignty has yet again become an active force structuring socio-technical trajectories. In this case, socio-technical systems tend to be reconfigured in ways that first and foremost ensure the continued provision of their core societal functio

Using stigmatising language to describe the crisis at the Poland-Belarus border is wrong and plays into Lukashenka’s hands

Motion sickness is thought to result from sensory conflict among visual, vestibular, and somatosensory inputs. Input from abdominal viscera may also contribute to motion detection. It affects up to two-thirds of the population and can be triggered by transport or virtual environments. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. Treatments include antihistamines, scopolam

INTRODUCTION: Acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUVP), or vestibular neuritis, disrupts the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), leading to impaired gaze stability during head movements. Vestibular function typically recovers to some extent. However, if recovery is incomplete, corrective eye saccades must compensate for the deficient VOR function. The aim was to analyze the progression of VOR gain recove

Handelns omställning mot cirkulär ekonomi är en av vår tids mest angelägna utmaningar. Allt fler handelsföretag experimenterar med cirkulära tjänster som second hand, reparation och uthyrning, men frågan om hur dessa tjänster ska integreras i butikernas dagliga verksamhet på ett effektivt och lönsamt sätt är långt ifrån löst.Projektets utgångspunkt var att butiken spelar en nyckelroll i handelns c

Symmetry breaking is a crucial technique in modern combinatorial solving, but it is difficult to be sure it is implemented correctly. The most successful approach to deal with bugs is to make solvers certifying, so that they output not just a solution, but also a mathematical proof of correctness in a standard format, which can then be checked by a formally verified checker. This requires justifyi

Loess–palaeosol sequences (LPS) represent one of the most important continental archives of late Quaternary environmental change in Europe. Establishing reliable chronologies is essential for reconstructing dust dynamics and for correlating regional loess stratigraphies. In this study, we present the first systematically derived mass accumulation rate (MAR) dataset for six key Polish LPS, based on

High-efficiency single-photon detection in the microwave domain is a key enabling technology for various quantum applications. However, the extremely low energy of microwave photons presents a fundamental challenge, preventing direct photon-to-charge conversion as achieved in optical systems using semiconductors. Here, we demonstrate continuous microwave photon detection with an efficiency approac

Despite being such an important factor for individual identity, Orthodox churches have not been sufficiently studied. In addition, the study of gender in these churches often seems formed by the impression that they do not change. This article therefore explores a seemingly static feature, the gendered seating in three Syriac Orthodox parishes in Sweden, from the point of view of space and agency:

By inspecting Diane Cook’s novel The New Wilderness, this thesis positions the practice of mothering within the larger Anthropocene humanities scholarship. While the Earth has often been mythologized as maternal, there has been a distinct lack of close attention paid to the cultural representations of lived experiences of mothers in the Anthropocene. Hence, this thesis begins by conducting a matri

This thesis analyses how the biblical motif of the deluge is portrayed in modern fantasy. I apply an ecocritical perspective on the deluge as a way to portray natural disasters and climate change. The intertextuality with the Bible and what that lends to the literary works is in focus for the analysis as well as what role the water has in the fictive material. Through the paper I discuss water as

Studien undersöker den möjliga världen som Carl Jonas Love Almqvists "Skaldens natt" utgör. Utgångspunkten för studien är de specifika textuella villkoren som "Skaldens natt" är konstruerad utifrån. Undersökningen ämnar att begripliggöra "Skaldens natt". Både alstrets inre egenskaperna som fiktion och konstruktion samt hur den fiktiva världen förhåller sig till genr

I takt med att allt fler användningsområden upptäcks ökar efterfrågan på biologiska läkeme-del i form av till exempel enzymer, antikroppar och virus. I många fall har biologiska läke-medel redan blivit standard i behandlingen av sjukdomar som diabetes, HIV/AIDS, samt vissa neurologiska sjukdomar. Dessa läkemedel kännetecknas av att de produceras av celler som har blivit genetiskt modifierade för aAs the market for biopharmaceuticals grows, the demand for continuous downstream pro-cessing (DSP) increases. This thesis tackled one of the key factors in successfully creating a continuous chromatography process: the ability to have an automated supply of complex buffer solutions. It aimed to develop and evaluate a Buffer Preparation Unit using an ÄKTA Pure machine, as well as the development of

Biografisk artikel om lundastudenten, biografägaren, läraren och astronomen Karl Oskar Krantz (1867-1933) med fokus på hans insats som filmpionjär inom genren karnevalsfilm.

CVD (chemical vapor deposition) coated cutting tools typically exhibit thermal cracks caused by the mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) between coating and cemented carbide. These cracks act as weak points during stainless steel machining, contributing to premature tool wear. As a strategy to suppress thermal cracks formation, we investigate replacing the conventional cemented car

Sensory traits shape animal lifestyles due to the central role they play in retrieving and processing environmental information. However, being some of the most energetically expensive tissues to build and maintain, ecological demands often modulate investment in these organs. Evidence that ecology shapes the evolution of sensory traits is plenty, but is heavily biased towards vertebrates and has

In this study, we have investigated the dynamic behavior of colloidal rods within their isotropic phase, employing multispeckle ultrasmall-angle x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (UA-XPCS) focusing on the understanding of the interplay between structure and dynamics at the nearest-neighbor length scale. While prior research has primarily focused on the structural aspects, our work addresses th
