Plesiosaurs are secondarily aquatic reptiles with a fossil record that extends for over 140 million years, and their remains have been found in localities representing both warm, equatorial waters and cold, high-latitude environments. They are usually portrayed as a snake threaded through the body of a sea turtle. However, due to a general absence of preserved soft tissues, reconstructing the life

Bouchra Khalili: Between Circles and Constellations catalogues the eponymous exhibition at Sharjah Art Foundation (7 September–1 December 2024), following its debut at Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) (17 February–21 May 2023). The book, published in conjunction with the exhibition, explores the artist’s 15-year engagement with anti-colonial struggles and post-colonial histories of li

A visual and text based investigation led by Moroccan artist Bouchra Khalili during many years following the traces left by the Mouvement des travailleurs arabes, a group fighting for the rights of the Arab workers in France at the turn of the 1970s.

This thesis explored the possibility of a techno-feudal reframing of gig work. Previous researchers and theorists have frequently framed gig work within capitalist frameworks, like platform capitalism and piece rate wages, despite gig work’s odd similarities to the feudal organisation of work. Scholars like Durand have pointed out similarities between the digital economy and feudalism without

Group exhibition.The thematic and collective exhibition Animal!?, conceived by Christian Alandete, curator, offers a transversal and transhistorical approach to the place of the animal in artistic representations.

Group exhibition.'The horizon is always receding' brings together a selection of works that reflect on the scope and the implications that the term contemporary may have. As the philosopher Giorgio Agamben suggests, contemporaneity can be understood as a term that surpasses temporal demarcations and transcends simultaneity and coexistence. In this sense, this exhibition serves as a symptomatic dis

This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations of liquid droplet/air two-phase flow through face masks. The study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the droplet filtration process, generate experimental data for modeling droplet/air two-phase flow across face masks, and develop and validate numerical models to simulate droplet motion through the mask and downstream. Droplet i

Group exhibition. 08.06.2025 – 20.07.2025 Walking, hiking, running, trekking, pilgrimage, escaping...The exhibition’s heart is the immediate experience of the landscape’s vastness, without infrastructure and with a sense of one’s own physical energy, but also of its limits. The exhibition All good things are wild and free. Wandern, pilgern, Spuren finden is about movement in nature and being moved

Group Exhibition. Participating artists: Daniel Boyd, Vija Celmins, David Horvitz, Bouchra Khalili, Judy Radul, Thomas Ruff, Carrie Mae Weems, Urban Subjects (Sabine Bitter, Jeff Derksen, and Helmut Weber), Paul Wong.Star Witnesses assembles works by a constellation of artists whose insightful observations of the cosmos bring new understandings of exploratory and migratory movements on Planet Eart

The aerodynamic effects of ice accretion on wind turbine blades has been studied using numerical methods. The ice accretion process on an aerofoil was simulated using RANS based simulations. The aerodynamic performance of the iced aerofoil was then investigated using several turbulence models, including both LES and DES. The results show that the shape of the ice has a profound influence on the li

The project developed a structured workflow for 3D scanning and documentation of artworks. This workflow covers every step from initial image capture to the final 3D model, ensuring consistency and quality in how artworks are digitized. It was presented to students as part of a course, giving them hands-on experience with 3D scanning equipment and photogrammetry software. Through practical exercis

De flesta batteridrivna prylar idag, som mobiltelefoner, bärbara datorer och elbilar drivs av litiumjonbatterier. Under de senaste åren har efterfrågan på batterier med hög energitäthet ökat kraftigt, vilket gjort att litiumjonbatterier används allt mer. Även om de är stabila kan de innehålla så mycket energi att ett fel kan bli riktigt allvarligt. Du har säkert hört talas om batterier som explodeLithium-ion batteries are widely used and remain the dominant energy storage technology for modern electronics and electric vehicles. Despite their widespread adoption, these batteries pose safety risks, including fire hazards and thermal runaway. One aspect that has received relatively little attention in current research is the formation and impact of fluorinated compounds during battery degrada

BACKGROUND: Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) was implemented in 2018 in Swedish child and adolescent psychiatric (CAP) inpatient care. This intervention empowers adolescents to self-admit at their own request for brief periods to prevent self-harm and suicidal crisis. As BA enhances healthcare user autonomy, it is a timely intervention to consider with the emerging human rights discourse and

Brief Admission by Self-referral (BA), a standardized crisis intervention for individuals with repeated self-harm or suicidal behavior, was adapted for adolescents from 13 years in Region Skåne, Sweden, in 2018. BA aims to offer access to support based on autonomy and has been associated with reduced need of emergency care. Interviews with adolescents and legal guardians have pointed to BA as valu

Women who have sex with women are a sexual minority often omitted from sexuality education curricula and school-based sexuality education. This study aimed to explore the sexuality education experiences of young women who have sex with women in German-speaking Switzerland. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 participants (aged 18–25 years) and analysed using qualitative content analy

Denna avhandling undersöker överlevnad och långsiktiga utfall hos kritiskt sjuka COVID-19-patienter som vårdades på intensivvårdsavdelningar (IVA) i Skåne mellan maj 2020 och maj 2021. Vi syftade till att fylla kunskapsluckor genom att genomföra en prospektiv, multicenterstudie där vi följde 498 IVA-patienter under tre år och utvärderade dödlighet, funktionella, fysiska och psykiska utfall, samt hThis thesis investigates the survival and long-term outcomes of critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in the Skåne region of Sweden between May 2020 and May 2021. We aimed to address knowledge gaps by conducting a prospective, multicentre cohort study following 498 ICU patients over three years, evaluating mortality, functional, physical, and mental outcomes, as

It is widely believed that Friedrich Hayek's first encounter with Gunnar Myrdal involved the latter's last-minute contribution, as a replacement for Erik Lindahl, to a Sammelband edited by the former in 1933, and that Hayek was lukewarm toward Myrdal and his ideas from the very beginning. Correspondence between the two shows that, in fact, their interaction about this contribution began two years
