The replacement of fossil fuels by intermittent renewable energy sources is transforming energy systems world-wide. A significant part of the future electricity demand will be supplied by offshore renewable energy, especially wind, but emerging technologies such as wave and tidal energy also offer great potential. However, the ability of offshore renewable energy systems – and of power systems and

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a lethal condition where expansion of the vascular extracellular matrix contributes to increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Versican, a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, is known to accumulate in vascular lesions of PAH and hyaluronan and tenascin-C, binding partners of versican, are elevated in PAH. The specific distribution and localization of versica

The 19th century in Europe was marked by major changes in the clothing supply of households. The availability of new textile materials changed the conditions for consumption and possession of clothing. Much more garments came to be made from purchased and imported fabrics, people’s wardrobes grew in volume, and cotton became an increasingly common and everyday commodity. Though it is well known th

The world faces multiple water crises, including overextraction, flooding, ecosystem degradation and inequitable safe water access. Insufficient funding and ineffective implementation impede progress in water access, while, in part, a misdiagnosis of the causes has prioritized some responses over others (for example, hard over soft infrastructure). We reframe the responses to mitigating the world’

Artikeln behandlar den moderna receptionen av myten om Persefones bortförande. Myten har fått ett uppsving inom den erotiska litteraturen där narrativet kan mixtras med för författarens ändamål. Bortförandet som med moderna mått mätt skulle ses som en våldshandling kan romantiseras eller framhävas, för att göra Hades mer sympatisk eller för att sexualisera våldsdådet. Myten har kommit långt från s

Hur ser den samtida rasismen mot judar ut i Sverige? Vilka uttryck tar den sig, och hur samspelar den med det svenska samhällets föreställningar om nationell tillhörighet?I Rasism mot judar blottlägger genusvetaren Hansalbin Sältenberg de subtila former av diskriminering som svenska judar möter i dag. Med en kritisk blick belyser han hur judar i Sverige placeras i en ambivalent position: å ena sid

The exploitation of identity politics, amplified by today’s interconnected information environment, has become a powerful weapon against inclusive democracy. This Hybrid CoE Paper discusses the intersection of social identities and hybrid threats, presenting case studies from Germany, France, Sweden and beyond to illustrate how hybrid threat actors manipulate ethnic, religious, gender and socioeco

Some evidence from Persian supports the existence of constituents that show properties of affixoids or what might be referred to as semi-affixes. These constitutes can stand independently but, in combination with certain nouns, show a rather notable distribution and, in that context, behave like a derivational affix. In such contexts, there is a semantic change in the derived form when an affixoid

This paper introduces a new framework – RoadRAT - to calculate the probability of inundation, wave runup, and storm erosion impacting coastal roads. Extreme value analysis is applied to annual maxima of observed and simulated still water level levels (SWL), total water levels (SWL + runup), and storm erosion volumes. The probability of impact on the road is derived both for the present conditions

Through in situ experiments, this study investigated the erosion resistance of a prototype dike with different vegetation and soil sections built on the Falsterbo peninsula, Sweden. A gravity-driven wave impact simulator was used to simulate waves breaking on the dike. Two sandy soils and three vegetation types (standard grass, biodiverse seed mixture, and hay) were tested for this study. In gener

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a critical but labor-intensive process in product development that aims to identify and mitigate potential failure modes to ensure product quality and reliability. In this paper, a novel framework to improve the FMEA process by integrating generative artificial intelligence (AI), in particular large language models (LLMs), is presented. By using these ad
