Sum rules and physical bounds for a particulate slab

Two different sum rules for transmission of the coherent electromagnetic field by a particulate slab are established. The particles are assumed spherical, dielectric, and randomly located, and the slab is illuminated by a plane wave at normal incidence. These sum rules are obtained assuming that the particles are passive scatterers and satisfy causality conditions. The sum rules are then employed

Novel Tools for In-beam Proton–gamma Coincidence Spectroscopy Near N=Z

A novel combination of two CD-shaped double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSD) with Gammasphere, Microball, Neutron Shell, and Fragment Mass Analyzer has been exploited at the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) facility at the Argonne National Laboratory during an experimental campaign aiming to study proton-unbound states in odd-Z, N

Activist organizing: A world in the making for the new to be born

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the ‘normality’ of our everyday lives, but it did so in the wake of a series of crises within the capitalist system, which worsened the conditions for a liveable world for many while benefitting only a few. In response to these crises, the contributions in this issue highlight the diverse ways activists continue to organise in the midst of social, political, and eco

Outcomes on health, recovery and activity level for mental health service users attending a novel nature-based intervention: a prospective study

Purpose: Mental illness due to longstanding stress is increasing. It has been shown that service users with mental illness may benefit from nature-based interventions (NBI), including equine-assisted therapy, to support their health, recovery, and activity level of daily life. However, the evidence base to support this is still weak. The aim was thus to evaluate and provide knowledge of the possib

The impact of political attention on collaborative environmental governance among municipal street-level bureaucrats

Collaboration in governing complex environmental challenges is the norm. However, collaboration does not necessarily deliver desirable outcomes, and the importance of forming collaborative networks that effectively address the challenges at hand has been emphasized in theory and practice. Evidence for what constitutes a suitable network structure is still scarce, and the understanding of what fact

Rethinking (Human) bodies in HRI : Embodied interactions every day

Significant amounts of HRI research effort are spent on the design/evaluation of robot bodies. Critical discussion and debates concerning the way bodies are treated and considered within HRI have tended to focus on the implications of designing/interacting with highly anthropomorphic robots, yet drawing attention away from the human body in HRI, particularly in the context of everyday interactions

Reliability of digitally instructed self-reported 30-second Chair Stand Test for lower extremity function

ObjectiveThe 30-second Chair Stand Test (30s CST), a valid and reliable test evaluating lower extremity physical function, has been integrated into a digital eHealth program. We aimed to evaluate the agreement (inter-rater reliability) between digital self-assessment and in-person physiotherapist assessment as well as intra-rater test-retest reliability of digital self-assessment among persons wit

Wage Earners, Taxpayers or Everyman Capitalists? : The Making of a Mutual Fund Culture in Sweden

This chapter explains how a mutual fund culture, which strengthened the link between households and the stock market, emerged exceptionally early in Sweden. We explore the popularisation of individual shareholding through state-subsidised fund savings schemes, the Tax Funds (introduced by the centre-right government in 1978) and the similar Everyman’s Funds (introduced by the Social Democratic gov
