The aim of this study is to analyse how a taxonomy-based course design can support students’ qualitative learning processes in online university courses. The paper presents a case study based on two online courses in comparative literature in Swedish and English. A document analysis has been applied to analyse the empirical material, which includes the syllabuses, study guides, and examination ass

This article is based on a questionnaire study of the media habits of Swedish youth aged 17–18. It examines the time they spend on using fictional texts through various media forms as well as in relation to mode (production/consumption), context (spare time/school), and gender (male/female). It further analyses these media habits and, using media ecology theory, discusses their effects on the lear

I dagens globala, digitala och postnationella samhälle verkar svenskämnet under andra villkor än tidigare. I artikeln beskrivs och diskuteras resultat från en litteraturdidaktisk studie som fokuserar på vad dessa förändrade villkor innebär för svenskämnets litteraturundervisning. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur gymnasieelever samtalar om berättelser för att diskutera hur litteraturundervisning

Artikeln tar sin utgångspunkt i de förändrade medievanor kring fiktion som konvergenskulturen innebär, närmare bestämt i de textuniversum som bildas kring ett visst innehåll. Textuniversum kännetecknas av att inkludera ett stort antal texter i olika medier, där det inte går att dra exakta gränser för innehållet. Syftet med artikeln är att bidra med kunskap om hur deltagare bygger förståelse av inn

This article asks why people are obsessed with Jane Austen’s stories and why her stories are spreading across the globe, across media forms, and across generations? In an attempt to analyse the Austenmania-phenomenon, this article examines various representations of Austen’s Sense and Sensibility in order to discuss what these representations contribute with to the understanding of the source text

For over 5,000 y, chanting has been practiced across many Western and Eastern traditions. However, there is hardly any empirical research on 1) whether chants from across the globe share common acoustic properties, 2) whether these acoustic features make them distinct from other human vocalizations, and 3) the extent to which they may positively impact listeners’ well-being. Here, we collected 242

This article develops the concept of emotional capital by exposing its operation in proceedings between legal elite professionals. We argue that (a) the micro-structural restraints of the interaction order among the participants have to be accounted for in order to understand the dynamics of emotional capital, and; (b) the emotional processes at play have to be expanded beyond feelings of care sho

This report describes a study that applies a modified methodology for the assessment of resilience of Air Traffic Management with higher degrees of automation in, with particular focus on the assessment of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Air Traffic Management tools. Resilience can be described as the ability of the ATM functional system to adjust its functioning and performance goals, prior to

Background: Revascularization of a stenosis is warranted when hemodynamically significant. Coronary physiology provides a diagnostic tool for assessment of stenosis severity to aid in the decision to revascularize or defer. The iFR-SWEDEHEART trial demonstrated non-inferiority of the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) compared to fractional flow reserve (FFR) in guiding decision-making in coronar

X-ray Fluorescence microscopy is a sophisticated advanced technique which can provide information regarding the concentration and the distribution of chemical elements within biological samples. It is increasingly used in the study of cells and tissues as it does not require the use of staining or fluorescent probes. For XRF measurements, sample preparation is a key step in the analytical process

PURPOSE: To assess the risk of self-fulfilling prophecy from withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) in comatose cardiac arrest patients undergoing neuroprognostication.METHODS: Post-hoc multicentre study matching adults resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, in WLST-permitting cohorts (TTM and TTM2), and non-WLST-permitting cohorts (KORHN and ProNeCA). We matched patients in a 1:

Aim: In this paper, we aim to explain the reason why iron deficiency (ID) is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), how to better apply diagnostic tools to uncover the state of ID as well as how to interpret the results, and not least, how to treat ID in this group of patients. Methods: This article is an expert review and opinion paper on a topic that is too often forgotten in

Introduction: Most cervical cancer cases in Sweden are diagnosed among women who have failed to attend screening. The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of offering vaginal HPV (human papillomavirus) self-samples to long-term non-attendees as a routine in this screening program, in which non-attendees had already been the targets of several interventions. Material and Methods

Purpose: The study investigates the feasibility of applying a retrospective motion-correction technique to ultralow-field (ULF) MRI data to improve reconstructed image quality when there is patient motion, which is likely to be a critical challenge in portable, point-of-care imaging. Theory & Methods: The study tests alignedSENSE, an iterative motion correction and reconstruction method with S

Trait spectra have been used in various branches of ecology to explain and predict patterns of species distributions. Several categorical and continuous traits have been proposed as relevant for ectomycorrhizal fungi, but a spectrum that unifies co-varying traits remains to be established and tested. Here, we propose a nitrogen acquisition and carbon use trait spectrum for ectomycorrhizal fungi in

Preparing travel time data can be a time-consuming process, which greatly limits the flexibility of transport simulation models. In the current paper, we present an approach to integrate a routing engine locally in an existing modeling framework, hence enabling to dynamically calculate travel times in the constructed emergency medical services (EMS) simulation models. This integration eliminates t

Plasma p-tau217 and tau positron emission tomography (PET) are strong prognostic biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but their relative performance in predicting future cognitive decline among cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals is unclear. In a head-to-head comparison study including nine cohorts and 1,474 individuals, we show that plasma p-tau217 and medial temporal lobe tau-PET signal d

As the boundaries of ‘work’ extend to include work that adapts to or brings about new organization, social value and alternative futures, it intersects with entrepreneurship studies in intriguing yet under-developed ways. This special issue focuses on developing this intersection by advancing process and practice theory research on entrepreneuring. Entrepreneuring is a concept that captures the pr
