Rapid global warming is severely impacting Arctic ecosystems and is predicted to transform the abundance, distribution and genetic diversity of Arctic species, though these linkages are poorly understood. We address this gap in knowledge using palaeogenomics to examine how earlier periods of global warming influenced the genetic diversity of Atlantic walrus (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus), a species

Vårt samhälle står inför dubbla utmaningar vad gäller att ställa om till mer hållbar energi- och resursförbruking, och mer hållbara ekonomiska och sociala system, inklusive att minska växande ojämlikheter. För att nå Sveriges klimatmål samt Agenda 2030-målen måste resurs- och energiförbrukningen signifikant reduceras. Samtidigt finns det väldigt lite evidens för att denna reducering kan ly

In this paper we discuss some recent and widely debated views of belief, comparing them with Ramsey’s, as it was developed in his classic papers and the posthumously published work On Truth. This paper is not purely historical. Modern views of belief, especially the theory of Shah and Velleman are examined, and it is shown that Ramsey’s views are relevant to the current discussion. Ramsey’s theory

»Molnets materialitet« blottlägger stegvis det digitala molnets materiella förutsättningar.

In drug discovery, it is of utmost importance to accurately calculate the free energies of binding ligands to various protein targets, such as enzymes and receptors. We have assessed and used computational tools for this aim, most of them based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We mostly used molecular mechanics (MM) in order to model the protein—ligand interactions, which is more approximat

The retail industry faces a multitude of complex sustainability challenges, which calls for transformational change. While the retail industry is a major driver of production and consumption patterns, it also offers significant potential to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Notably, logistics services, such as warehousing, delivery, and returns, have gained vital importance in retail due to

This conceptual chapter investigates how knowledge moves across different “social fields” (Bourdieu, 2005b). We propose a certain social Gestalt new knowledge discussion creates the dialogically constructed antenarrative field. An antenarrative field is a social space for knowledge exchange where agents speculate on future scenarios’ potential for realization, and our notion of the antenarrative f

The domestic care work sector in Sweden is growing. The expansion of the welfare state in the post-war period made privately employed domestic workers an uncommon practice (Öberg, 1999). Today, we see a re-emergence of the market. The turning point for this is the RUT tax deduction, introduced in 2007 and leading to a tremendous growth in the sector. Approximately 30 000 people are employed in RUT

This paper investigates the significance of care between generations in Sweden. This is done towards the background of a strong narrative in both popular and sociological discourses depicting the Nordic countries in general, and Sweden in particular, as the ‘most individualized’ society in the world, where the expansive welfare state is seen as having taken over care responsibilities, leading to w

Forskning och nya metoder för skogsbruk visar att svensk skog kan binda mycket mer koldioxid än i dag och samtidigt ge virke med högre värden. Vi menar att svensk skog är under­utnyttjad, skriver flera debattörer.

This article explores whether intersectional praxis can be discerned in the provision of disability/accessibility resources in higher education in Sweden and the United States. Analysing interviews with administrative staff based on hypothetical scenarios (vignettes) that could qualify as situations of disability discrimination, this article identifies several situations of (missed) opportunities

This work studies the reproducibility of passive gamma spectroscopy measurements for spent nuclear fuels (SNFs). The fifty assemblies used for this study span over a variety of initial enrichments, burnups, and cooling times. These SNFs have been measured in two different gamma axial measurement campaigns. The net peak counts are determined for Cs-137, Eu-154 and Cs-134. Furthermore, a sensitivity
