Resilience to Shrinking as a Catch-Up Strategy : a Comparison of Brazil and Indonesia, 1964–2019

Development economics has long focused on growth patterns to explain countries’ ability to catch up and forge ahead. We argue, however, that resilience to economic shrinking matters more. Using the examples of Brazil and Indonesia, we propose that a framework consisting of social capabilities—namely structural transformation, autonomy, and inclusion—can explain why Indonesia is more resilient to e

A Potential Site for Wide-orbit Giant Planet Formation in the IM Lup Disk

The radial transport, or drift, of dust has taken a critical role in giant planet formation theory. However, it has been challenging to identify dust drift pileups in the hard-to-observe inner disk. We find that the IM Lup disk shows evidence that it has been shaped by an episode of dust drift. Using radiative transfer and dust dynamical modeling we study the radial and vertical dust distribution.

Factors associated with clinically relevant pain reduction after a self-management program including education and exercise for people with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis : Data from the BOA register

Aim To examine the associations between individual- and disease-related factors and the odds of reaching a clinically relevant pain reduction in people with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent a first-line self-management program. Materials and methods An observational registry-based study including people with knee (n = 18,871) and hip (n = 7,767) OA who participated in a self-manag

I AM A.I. Gradient Descent - an Open-Source Digital Game for Inquiry-Based CLIL Learning

We present an interactive online workshop for K-12 students, which aims in familiarizing students with core concepts of AI. The workshop consists of a variety of resources, inspired by inquiry-based learning techniques, of which we present in detail one module, centered around a browser-based game called “Gradient Descent”. This module introduces the mathematical concepts behind a gradient descent

On the symmetries of electrodynamic interactions

While mechanics was developed under the idea of reciprocal action (interactions), electromagnetism, as we know it today, takes a form more akin to unilateral action. Interactions call for spatial relations, unilateral action calls for space, just one reference centre. In contrast, interactions are matters of relations that require at least two centres. The development of the relational electromagn

Women's sexual and reproductive health in war and conflict : are we seeing the full picture?

It is well established that women's sexual and reproductive health (SRHR) is negatively affected by war. While global health research often emphasises infrastructure and systematic factors as key impediments to women's SRHR in war and postwar contexts, reports from different armed conflicts indicate that women's reproduction may be controlled both by state and other armed actors, limiting women's

Säkerhetisering av forskning kräver förbättrat omdöme

Under de senaste veckorna har det rapporterats om kinesiska militärforskare på svenska universitet och hur svensk forskning bidrar till kinesisk militär teknologi. En av oss författare, Tommy Shih, har tidigare varit med om att identifiera och bedöma risker kopplat till etikdumpning och dubbel användning i forskningsansökningar.

Infection or Contamination with Rothia, Kocuria, Arthrobacter and Pseudoglutamicibacter — a Retrospective Observational Study of Non-Micrococcus Micrococcaceae in the Clinic

Rothia, Kocuria, Arthrobacter, and Pseudoglutamicibacter are bacterial species within the family Micrococcaeae. Knowledge of human infections due to these bacteria is limited. This study aimed to examine features of infections caused by non-Micrococcus Micrococcaeae (NMM). Findings of NMM from blood cultures and other sterile cultures from 2012 to 2021 were identified from the records of the Depar

Addressing chemical pollution in biodiversity research

Climate change, biodiversity loss and chemical pollution are planetary-scale emergencies requiring urgent mitigation actions. As these "triple crises" are deeply interlinked, they need to be tackled in an integrative manner. However, while climate change and biodiversity are often studied together, chemical pollution as a global change factor contributing to worldwide biodiversity loss has receive

Delning av invånardata från ett juridiskt perspektiv

Syftet med Datalabbet, som utgjorde ett av fem hypoteslabb i projektet Den (ut)forskande staden, var att genom avancerad analys av data, bland annat maskininlärning, bättre kunna förstå kommuninvånarnas komplexa behov och ta fram värdeskapande offentliga tjänster, som kan tillgodose dessa behov och öka invånarnas livskvalitet. I den här delstudien undersöks de rättsliga ramarna för datadelning mel

Less repressive and fairer foreclosure. Evidence from a randomized experiment at Kronofogden regarding the possibilities to break economic exclusion

Homeowners are facing worse personal finances with high inflation and increasing interest rates. New groups are at risk of overindebtedness and foreclosure. The entire household, including children, are affected by worse health and well-being. This leads to large societal costs. Hence, it is imperative to break the negative cycle of overindebtedness for these households.

On spurious solutions encountered in Helmholtz scattering resonance computations in Rd with applications to nano-photonics and acoustics

In this paper, we consider a sorting scheme for potentially spurious scattering resonant pairs in one- and two-dimensional electromagnetic problems and in three-dimensional acoustic problems. The novel sorting scheme is based on a Lippmann-Schwinger type of volume integral equation and can, therefore, be applied to structures with graded materials as well as to configurations including piece-wise

On the spectrum of an operator pencil with applications to wave propagation in periodic and frequency dependent materials

We study wave propagation in periodic and frequency dependent materials when the medium in a frequency interval is characterized by a real-valued permittivity. The spectral parameter relates to the quasi momentum, which leads to spectral analysis of a quadratic operator pencil where frequency is a parameter. We show that the underlying operator has a discrete spectrum, where the eigenvalues are sy
