This article intends to raise questions related to nationalism in South Asia, while also addressing the rationale for this special issue. Is nationalism a monolithic construct based on a European precedent or is it something much larger that is developed pluralistically in a variety of contexts around the world? If the latter is true, which is our position, then how do we go about studying the var
The severity of the COVID-19 pandemic confronts us with a global grand challenge representing an unprecedented crisis for health, economies, and societies. While digital champions are thriving, a large number of businesses and industries have been facing radical uncertainty, pushing some to the edge of collapse. This emergency calls for new ways to look at organizational ambidexterity and business
In this paper we study structure from motion problems for 1D radial cameras. Under this model the projection of a 3D point is a line in the image plane going through the principal point, which makes the model invariant to radial distortion and changes in focal length. It can therefore effectively be applied to uncalibrated image collections without the need for explicit estimation of camera intrin
We present an updated version of the QCD-based colour reconnection model in Pythia8, where we constrain the range in impact parameter for which reconnections are allowed. In this way, we can introduce more realistic colour reconnections in the Angantyr model for heavy ion collisions, where previously only reconnections within separate nucleon sub-collisions have been allowed. We investigate how th
Despite improvements in cancer survival, cancer therapy–related cardiovascular toxicity has risen to become a prominent clinical challenge. This has led to the growth of the burgeoning field of cardio-oncology, which aims to advance the cardiovascular health of cancer patients and survivors, through actionable and translatable science. In these Global Cardio-Oncology Symposium 2023 scientific symp
Abstract in UndeterminedA more or less continuous process of structural change, not least due to a globalizing economy, poses a number of challenges to regions and local communities. However, when firms or whole industries are phasing out, windows of opportunity open up. Empirical analyses of a recent plant closure in the periphery of the Skane Region in Sweden point at the importance of retaining
Currently, more than one billion people in the world is exposed to flooding and approximately 10 percent of them suffer its consequences every year. With the onset of climate change, the frequency of these events is likely to increase, and especially in Asia and Africa, where many of the global poor are located. One of the reasons why this is likely to present a challenge for poverty reduction is
The 2008 financial crisis exposed significant weaknesses within the global financial system which were mostly attributed to the practices of financialization. This thesis explores the potential of Islamic finance principles to prevent financial crises while offering a more stable and equitable financial framework. A qualitative approach was used in order to conduct interviews with various professi
The global trend of democracy has shown a marked decline, characterized by the erosion of democratic values and the rise of autocratic tendencies and political populism. Simultaneously, citizen participation in liberal democracies has notably decreased in recent decades. Engagement within participatory budgeting will be analyzed through the lens of sense of place. The research aims to investigate
In 2002 the Budapest Open Access Initiative was born, and shortly thereafter in 2003 the Bethesda Statement and the Berlin Declaration followed suit. These three initiatives are frequently viewed as the ground staples of the Open Access movement, and promoted free access to academic journals for everyone with an internet connection. These three initiatives has been studied in this essay, as well a
Global food security is one of the main concerns of this century. Moreover, the increasing negative impacts of climate change on different sectors including agriculture are further expected to exacerbate these challenges. The main aim of this thesis is to assess the future impacts of climate change on wheat yields in Spain by 2050 and to evaluate the efficiency of early sowing as an adaptation str
This thesis investigated the ambitions of Japan in the space sector through the development of the country’s space programme. Drawing on content and discourse analysis of policy, law, strategy documents, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency website and documents about the ISS, this thesis explored how Japan has been articulating their space ambitions since 2000. It aimed at analysing the ambitio
Consumption-based emissions have increased rapidly during the last few decades and measures to battle climate change have included numerous initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union is currently in the process of implementing its new Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, to level the playing field between domestic producers and importers by setting the same requirements conc
We report on a computational study of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS), at different fluorine K-edge resonances of the SF6 molecule, and corresponding nonresonant x-ray emission. Previously measured polarization dependence in RIXS is reproduced and traced back to the local σ and π symmetry of the molecular orbitals and corresponding states involved in the RIXS process. Also electron-hole
Fifty percent of emissions must be cut by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050 to keep global warming below 1.5°C. Transport is a major component of tourism’s contribution to climate change. Therefore, encouraging tourists to use less energy intensive public transport is an important strategy in reducing tourism emissions. Despite the crucial role of public transport for sustainable tourism, the ar
