Agentic Relationship Dynamics in Human-AI Collaboration: A study of interactions with GPT-based agentic IS artifacts

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) having become increasingly embedded into work in both academia and industry has put a magnifying glass on Human-AI collaboration. With this paper, we seek to answer calls for research on the interactions between human and AI agents and their outcomes. We adopt the IS Delegation Framework (Baird & Maruping, 2021) to look at dynamics in relationships betwe

Environmental education practices in preschools in Sweden and Japan : A comparative study through Actively Caring Model

Background and objectives: There has been an increased interest in education for the environment in early childhood, but little is known about how the education influence young children’s behaviour. Moreover, knowledge about education for the environment in different educational contexts is still limited. To adopt pro-environment behaviours, the children should be taught about caring for the envir

Environmental education tools to promote simple pro-environmental behaviour among preschool children in Japan and Sweden

Environmental education in early childhood has been pointed out as having a great potential to promote pro-environmental behaviour in early years. Among various tools, games and visual items are commonly used for children’s learning and development and therefore, could possibly be used to promote such behaviour among young children. However, their impact on the actual behaviour should be investiga

Aspiration and Actions : the path towards energy efficiency behavior in residential buildings

User preferences and behaviors are pointed out as main causes of the gap between predicted and actual energy use in energy-efficient buildings. Particularly, users’ energy-related behaviors affect whether the maximum level of energy efficiency can be achieved. Despite the potentials of the buildings themselves to promote energy efficiency behaviors, users’ behavioral responses to the buildings’ en

Effects of an interactive web-based support system via mobile phone on preference-based patient participation in patients living with hypertension - a randomized controlled trial in primary care

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of an interactive web-based support system via mobile phone on preference-based patient participation in patients with hypertension treated in primary care (compared with standard hypertensive care only). DESIGN: A parallel group, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial, conducted October 2018-February 2021. Besides standard hypertensive care, the intervention

Prevention of surgical site infections after lower extremity bypass procedures

Abstract: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a common cause of morbidity following open vascular surgery. Numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs), along with systematic reviews and meta-analyses of RCTs, have been conducted to compare incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) with standard wound dressings above sutured incisions in the inguinal region. These meta-analyses consistent

Extracellular Matrix as a Driver of Chronic Lung Diseases

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is not just a 3 dimensional scaffold that provides stable support for all cells in the lungs but is also an important component of chronic fibrotic airways, vascular, and interstitial diseases. It is a bioactive entity that is dynamically modulated during tissue homeostasis and disease, which controls structural and immune cell functions, drug responses, and which ca

Buried by sand – the abandoned medieval town at Falsterbo, S Sweden

Archaeological investigations have revealed cultural layers with remnants of houses and streets below up to four metres of sand at the southern end of the Falsterbo peninsula in southernmost Sweden. The cultural layers have been dated to the 15th – 16th centuries, based on finds of, for example, coins and ceramics, and interpreted to represent the medieval town Falsterbo. It has been assumed that

On the existence and uniqueness of steady state solutions of a class of dynamic hydraulic networks via actuator placement

In this paper, using tools from graph theory we provide verifiable necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique hydraulic equilibrium in district heating systems of meshed topology and containing multiple heat sources. Even though numerous publications have addressed the design of efficient algorithms for numerically finding hydraulic equilibria in the general context of water

Decentralized lateral and longitudinal control of vehicle platoons with constant headway spacing

The formation of platoons, where groups of vehicles follow each other at close distances, has the potential to increase road capacity. In this paper, a decentralized control approach is presented that extends the well-known constant headway vehicle following approach to the two-dimensional case, i.e., lateral control is included in addition to the longitudinal control. The presented control scheme

Probing compositional engineering effects on lead-free perovskiteinspired nanocrystal thin films using correlative nonlinear optical microscopy

We introduce the use of correlative third-harmonic generation and multiphoton-induced luminescence microscopy to investigate the impact of manganese (Mn) doping to bismuth (Bi)-based perovskite-inspired nanocrystal thin films. The technique was found to be extremely sensitive to the microscopic features of the perovskite film and its structural compositions, allowing the unambiguous detection of c

No title

One of my research questions is how ludo-immersive opera can be understood and interpreted. Reich of Ran was conceived as an etude of how to design comprehensible rules for playing visitors. This developed into a turn-based ’micro opera’ with forked paths. Each visitor got to experience the opera alone with the opera character (played by me) and a live-electronic musician. Thus, there could be no

Experiences of the use of portfolio in dental education - A qualitative meta-ethnographic literature review

INTRODUCTION: Portfolio with a collection of evidence has become popular in higher education, including dental education. It is valuable to study the experiences of the use and implementation processes. Meta-ethnography can be a suitable method to analyse, synthesize and construct interpretations of qualitative research. Our aim was to explore experiences from the use of a portfolio/e-portfolio in

Experts, activists, and girl bosses of the nuclear apocalypse: feminisms in security discourse

Having long been regarded as irrelevant to the high politics of foreign affairs, feminism and gender equality have in recent years gained increased attention in international security debates, including discussions about nuclear weapons policy. Several governments have adopted official feminist foreign policy postures, international security institutions have launched inquiries into gender equity

Atomic aesthetics: gender, visualization and popular culture in Egypt

How was the atomic age visualized in Egypt in the years immediately after the creation of the bomb? What role did gendered images, symbols and metaphors play in narrating and normalizing nuclear technology? How can these help us understand nuclear policy today? This article engages visual and textual media, including satirical magazines, cultural journals and film. It presents a plurality of image

Hiroshima in Egypt: interpretations and imaginations of the atomic age

This article focuses on Egyptian interpretations of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the US at the end of the Second World War. It surveys the reactions and responses of influential thinkers between 1945 and 1951, a crucial period prior to decolonisation. The objective of this research is to capture a specific moment in time and understand how it shaped imaginations of the future.

Casting the Atomic Canon: (R)evolving Nuclear Strategy

Looming decisions on arms control and strategic weapon procurements in a range of nuclear-armed states are set to shape the international security environment for decades to come. In this context, it is crucial to understand the concepts, theories, and debates that condition nuclear policymaking. This review essay dissects the four editions of The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy, the authoritative i
