Based on self-determination theory and coping research, we argue that people employ different emotion-focused coping strategies to handle threatening information about climate change, which are differently associated with the satisfaction of psychological needs and have different consequences for climate action. To test the causal effects of two emotion-focused coping strategies, we conducted a pr

In this chapter, we explore the relationship between business ethics and faith. We suggest that faith in business ethics predominantly plays the role of the therapeu-tic: It soothes the real functioning of business with various idealized conceptions of it. Unfolding this argument, we begin the chapter by showing how business ethics is largely motivated by a now-shattered faith in the capitalist en

The present work aims to provide an in-situ inspection methodology for prestressed concrete bridges with post-tensioned cables (PT bridges). The adoption of non-destructive techniques (NDT), already widely employed in other engineering fields, is proposed, providing reliable information with a relatively low impact on the existing infrastructure. For each of the specific inspection topics (i.e. ca

We study the average-case hardness of establishing that a graph does not have a large clique in both proof and communication complexity. We show exponential lower bounds on the length of cutting planes and bounded-depth resolution over parities refutations of the binary encoding of clique formulas on randomly sampled dense graphs. Moreover, we show that the randomized communication complexity of f

For the experimental assessment of concrete material properties, estimating compressive strength is crucial for the calculation of structural safety and optimising testing campaigns. However, the optimal number of tests required to comply with a target reliability while balancing effort has rarely been analysed in the past. This work introduces an approach combining statistical modelling and uncer

Rapporten beskriver genomförandet av EPPO-förordningen i Sverige samt belyser vissa särskilda problem med tolkningen och tillämpningen av systemet med EPPO.

Songbirds rely on an endogenous programme encoding spatio-temporal information necessary for naive individuals to perform their first migration. Timing programmes are generated by endogenous clocks and include responses to external cues, with photoperiod being the most important. Photoperiod can advance or delay the circannual cycle and, while it is well established as a trigger for initiating mig

Most bird species are diurnal but drastically change their diel cycle of activity to migrate at night. Nocturnal migration has been documented using different methods (e.g., experiments, radar and radio tracking, and acoustic monitoring), but accurately quantifying the proportion of nocturnal versus diurnal flight at the individual and species levels, and understanding how this behavior evolved ac

Factors limiting fat cell expandability remain scarcely explored, and comprehensive functional comparisons of adipose depots in humans are limited. In the present study, we collected visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) paired-samples from 22 patients with obesity undergoing elective Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Whole tissue samples were used to determine adipoc

BACKGROUND: Recent advancements in single-cell transcriptomic analyses have greatly expanded our understanding of cellular diversity in adipose tissue, indicating transcriptionally distinct subpopulations of adipocytes. Here we sought to rigorously test such heterogeneity at the protein level.METHODS: A data-driven imaging platform was tailored to assess cellular protein levels based on immunofluo

In this perspective, we argue for a social, multi-affective, contextual approach to emotions in environmental communication, departing from an observation that the field has often considered emotions as tools for change. To complement instrumental approaches, we stress how environmental communication as a scholarly field can benefit from a situated and contextual approach to emotions, embracing a

BACKGROUND: Heart rate (HR) control in atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly guided by resting HR measurements, usually with 12‑lead ECG or in-office pulse palpation.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the reliability of resting HR measurements in AF patients with long-term ambulatory ECG and activity monitoring.METHODS: We included patients who had recorded a full-disclosure ambulatory ECG with a mobil

In a context of population ageing, housing crises and socio-spatial inequalities, ageing in place depends not only on dwellings but also on neighbourhood conditions. This article examines how older adults’ social possibilities are shaped in everyday life in Angered and Högsbo, two contrasting neighbourhoods in Göteborg, Sweden. Drawing on 12 walking interviews with older adults and 72 neighbourhoo

Population ageing and changing family structures accentuate the need for housing forms that support social connection and care in later life. Collaborative housing (CH) re‑emerged in Sweden in the late 1970s as a bottom‑up response to the gendered burden of domestic work and the social shortcomings of large housing estates. Through academic exchanges, the Swedish self‑work model in collaborative h
