International practice theory (IPT) is now firmly established as a key theoretical and methodological framework for International Relations (IR), offering novel ways to address the oversight around the ‘everyday’ in global politics. Yet, the presumed novelty of such an approach is surprising to feminist, race, and postcolonial IR scholars who have thought deeply about the problem of the everyday.
Background: The variable clinical outcomes of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-based therapy in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are attributed to a variety of factors, including host microenvironmental factors. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has been linked to the development and progression of ARDS, and we have previously found that IL-1β could be used to predict MSC activation in vitro. However
As climate change alters weather risk, wealth is often treated as a buffer after shocks occur. We show that wealth can shape the economic shock before it arrives by determining which assets households own. In a pre-industrial agrarian society, we link weather to 25,000 household tax records and commodity prices. Households held different production bundles, and the same seasonal weather could rais
This book calls for a paradigm shift in education through Transformative- Emancipatory Pedagogy (TEP), a dynamic approach rooted in humanistic, humanizing, and decolonial philosophies. TEP promotes holistic, relational, and experiential learning to support both personal and societal transformation. More than a framework for inclusion, it reimagines education as a space for justice oriented inquiry
This open access book investigates human-environment relations in the context of the anthropocenic Arctic. Through an archaeological and anthropological study of landscape, it wields “weirding” – a creative mode of engagement with the world – as a means of coming to terms with the stranger, experiential dimensions of a planet populated by diverse non-human entities often bearing monstrous characte
In recent years, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has faced mounting resistance from regressive political forces seeking to undermine its hard-won normative gains. This Open Access book offers a timely and rigorous examination of this global backlash, providing both theoretical innovation and empirical depth.Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners, the volume introduces a no
Carotid sinus massage (CSM) is essential in evaluating recurrent unexplained reflex syncope, as it uniquely identifies cardioinhibitory forms that other tests may miss. CSM is largely underused in clinical practice outside dedicated syncope facilities and, when performed, its execution varies, as does the interpretation of results. Underuse affects the diagnostic yield of CSM in the syncope evalua
This paper presents PyEtSimul, an open-source Python-based framework for simulating video-based eye trackers by generating synthetic eye features through geometric modeling. The framework allows flexible positioning of eyes, cameras, and light sources in 3D space, with controlled variation of eye anatomical features and camera properties. PyEtSimul generalizes corneal modeling by representing the
This paper explores how pedagogical beliefs are challenged in everyday encounters, particularly when someone in an educational relationship acts unexpectedly. Following Donna Haraway’s notion of tentacular thinking (2016), I examine my relationship with Lyra, a reactive dog, as a site where prior experiences, emotions, and social expectations intertwine. The analysis sits at the intersection of soThis paper explores how pedagogical beliefs are challenged in everyday encounters, particularly when someone in an educational relationship acts unexpectedly.

This paper addresses the question of whether the rise to power of right-wing populist parties has an impact on the political opportunity structures (POS) available for incumbent civil society organizations (CSOs). The elements of POS that are exposed to changes by the right-wing populist parties in power are those that are embedded in governance structures. In this paper we will focus in particula
This paper explores the way in which the relationship between civil society and the state in times of populist governance can be understood from the point of view of Hartmut Rosa’s theory of resonance. We apply Hartmut Rosa’s (2019) theory about a resonant society to understand how the populist turn in politics and state-civil society relations is related to broader societal processes such as acce
INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has increased substantially in recent decades. Physical activity is a key component in improving metabolic and overall health in children with obesity. The Swedish Physical Activity on Prescription (PAP) is an established method for promoting physical activity, yet knowledge regarding its applicability and acceptability in paediatric
BACKGROUND: Pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, has demonstrated antidepressant efficacy as an augmentation strategy in unipolar and bipolar depression. However, dopaminergic treatments are associated with impulse control disorders, including gambling disorder, and evidence regarding behavioural risks in psychiatric populations remains limited.METHODS: We conducted a nationwide register-based cohort
Standardized Care Pathway (SCP) for patients presenting with macroscopic haematuria was introduced in Sweden in 2015. In contrast to neighbouring countries, the Swedish model includes all patients with macroscopic haematuria above the age of 50, notwithstanding obvious causes. The aim of this study was to characterize the patients referred within the SCP and the presence of acute cystitis.All pati
