In Sweden, urban planners are legally obligated to design neighbourhoods that allow future buildings to meet daylight requirements. However, this is challenging because planners can only define the building masses, without control over future building details such as glazing ratios, room layouts, and orientation.The Vertical Sky Component (VSC) is a well-established indicator for early daylight as

Petrochemical production is tightly entangled with fossil fuel extraction and constitutes the primary driver of oil demand growth. Therefore, scholars have increasingly started exploring the linkages between fossil fuels and chemicals, tracing their importance for the political economy of energy transitions. A defining feature in the global petrochemical industry is that the majority of the recent

B-cell progenitor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy and is driven by multiple genetic alterations that cause maturation arrest and accumulation of abnormal progenitor B cells. Current treatment protocols with chemotherapy have led to favorable outcomes but are associated with significant toxicity and risk of side effects, highlighting the necessity for

In March 2023, the Swedish national Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) published a proposal for new ventilation rates in Sweden. The supply air should by this be calculated based on an equation using the heated floor area as the main input. It is set as optional to use less ventilation flow if this could be sufficient. However, in a questionnaire to Swedish practitioners within the

Non-technical summaryBrazil – one of the world's largest biocultural diversities – faces high rates of habitat loss, social inequality, and land conflicts impacting indigenous and local peoples. To challenge that, Brazilian sustainability science and education needs to be strengthened. We searched for elements in ongoing bottom-up sustainability social movements that can help serve that purpose. W

The aim of the creation of this cohort was to investigate patterns of health and health care utilisation before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, overall and in relation to specific diagnoses, among people with intellectual disabilities (ID) compared to the general population. People living in Skåne, the southernmost region of Sweden, on 1st of January 2014 with at least one diagnosis of ID (ICD-1

Fishes from the genus Carasobarbus, widely distributed throughout the river systems of North Africa and West Asia, are commonly referred to as Himris. In the Persian Gulf basin, they are widespread and are also found in fast-flowing rivers or the deeper regions of lakes. In this region, representation of these fishes in scientific collections is scarce, and except for C. luteus, the other species

The COVID-19 crisis noted many reports of dramatic price increases of essential items such as face masks, hand sanitisers and disinfectants. Already in March 2020 the Competition Authorities in Europe, by way of a joint statement by European Competition Network and individual public announcements, cautioned against price gouging practices and re-affirmed their commitment to pursue such practices v

Mechanical testing of articular cartilage yields highly variable results, posing challenges for tissue characterization. Many factors cause variability, one is sample geometry. Using in-situ phase-contrast enhanced synchrotron micro-tomographs of cartilage samples while tested in unconfined compression (stress relaxation) our group found high variability in the mechanical response. Since all sampl

One step towards understanding bone fragility and degenerative diseases is to unravel the links between fracture resistance and the compositional and structural characteristics of cortical bone. In this study, we explore an optical method for automatic crack detection to generate full fracture resistance curves of cortical bone. We quantify fracture toughness, critical failure strains at the crack

This work presents a literature study over how additive manufacturing can be used to improve the performance of windings for traction machines when it comes to materials, loss minimization and thermal management, especially for concentrated windings. It continues to present the additive manufacturing methods most suitable for additively manufacturing windings. The lessons from manufacturing coils

Recentmonths have seen intensified global calls for an intellectual propertywaiver of COVID-19 related vaccines, treatments and related products.Where one side of the debate elevates Intellectual Property Rights as on obstacle to affordable and expeditious global access to vaccines and treatments, the other side of the debate points to the existing TRIPS flexibilities such as compulsory licensing,

Föreliggande uppsats hade det övergripande syftet att skapa ökad förståelse för hur lärare och skolledare möter det nya och komplexa fenomenet AI i skolan. Studiens syfte uppfylldes genom att med en fallstudie genomföra kvalitativa intervjuer med åtta gymnasielärare och tre verksamma skolledare. Resultaten visar varierande erfarenheter av AI, men samtliga lärare efterfrågar mer tid för att fortbil"Navigating a New Digital Landscape – A Case Study on Swedish Teachers’ and School Leaders Perspectives on AI in Schools" This paper aimed to, through a case study, gain a better understanding of how teachers and school leaders navigate the new and complex phenomenon of AI in schools. The purpose of the study was fulfilled by conducting qualitative interviews with eight upper secondary

In this work, regenerated cellulose textile fibers, Ioncell-F, dry-wet spun with different draw ratios, have been investigated by scanning wide-Angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) using a mesoscopic X-ray beam. The fibers were found to be homogeneous on the 500nm length scale. Analysis of the azimuthal angular dependence of a crystalline Bragg spot intensity revealed a radial dependence of the degree of

For a century, transport systems have been governed by masculine norms, constraining both women and men within the conditions and mobility behaviour it has established. This article explores the potential implications of adopting feminine norms for mobility and transport systems. Current masculine mobility norms are contested by investigating what including a feminine mobility concept would entail

Context. The search for small exoplanets around solar-type stars is limited by stellar physical variability, such as a jittering in the apparent photospheric radial velocity. While chromospheric variability has been aptly studied, challenges remain for the observation, modeling. and understanding the much smaller fluctuations in photospheric spectral line strengths, shapes, and shifts. Aims. Extre

Anxiety before an MRI examination is common, even though the technique is noninvasive and painless. In a 7T MRI study, healthy volunteers also reported anxiety before the examination. This study aimed to assess anxiety levels in healthy individuals undergoing 7T MRI and to determine if their anxiety decreased during subsequent examinations. Participants filled out a questionnaire on anxiety. Eleve
