The chapter extends the concept of the uncanny to conceptualize the affective experience which arises when our most intimate space, the home, is permeated with connected sensors and new machine vision technologies. This range of experience, we argue, which is intimately linked to the current age of ubiquitous computing and smart technologies, can be understood through the category of the technolog

Debt-based trade and economic exchanges are becoming a more and more widespread phenomenon in the context of post-Soviet Central Asian societies. In the absence of viable state economic support, a functional banking system, and an effective legal system, trust-based economic exchanges serve as an alternative means for conducting micro-level businesses in Central Asia. The phenomenon of “rassiychil

Swedish art and music schools have a democratic mission based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. However, the connection between policy, practice, and the sustainable development goals is not evident. In this presentation I discuss the potential for sustainability of this extra-curricular activity.

In 2016 Swedish law was amended to allow single women to access fertility treatment with donor sperm. In this paper, based on interviews, document analysis and autoethnographic insights, I examine the implementation of this law using human rights approaches, specifically the availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality framework (AAAQ Framework). While the law extended the scope of repr

Aim: To investigate psychosocial factors in painful TMD (pTMD) which could have consequences for mastering chronic pain. Methods: Our study included 22 patients (20 women, 2 men) with pTMD, refractory to conservative treatment, and 19 healthy controls. The control group was matched for gender, age, and educational level, and IQ tested on the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence. Neurocogniti

Kanske är hjälten den som inte förändras? Och samhället inte anpassat efter en klassisk berättarstruktur? Morris Wikström reflekterar över två konstnärer som gjorde uppror mot genrekraven.

En översättning av en essä av Marina Davydova, publicerad i Gläntas temanummer med översättningar av utvalda texter ur den ryska kulturtidskriften Coltas arkiv.

In this letter, we consider Gaussian approximations of the optimal importance density in sequential importance sampling for nonlinear, non-Gaussian state-space models. The proposed method is based on generalized statistical linear regression and posterior linearization using conditional expectations. Simulation results show that the method outperforms the compared methods in terms of the effective

Solar energy plays a vital role in the transition to a greener global energy supply. As a decentralized energy source, the expansion of solar energy is not driven by energy suppliers and government as in traditional energy sources but is proliferating through the market through a variety of business propositions. Germany has, for a long time, been a pioneer in the field of solar. The country was t

Background: A palliative cancer diagnosis in a parent has a major impact on many aspects of their children’s lives. Studies show that professionals in the oncological field do not seem to offer relatives, in general, much attention. Aim: to explore how doctors and social workers handle children of cancer patients in order to understand the possibilities and difficulties in supporting children in s

Crises often reveal a mismatch between organizational and problem structures, demanding interorganizational coordination or new organizational solutions. Much is known about functions and roles of such organizational solutions, but less about the processes underlying them. This study investigates the processes behind the emergence and institutionalization of organizational solutions to meet new co

Ett tvådimensionellt transportförsök utfördes i en behållare (45 cm x 54 cm x 20 cm) fylld med fin sand. En färgad icke vattenlöslig vätska (LNAPL) spreds över en rektangulär yta, 5 x 20 cm, på försöksytan. Spridningen gjordes i fyra omgångar på olika sätt; med konstant flöde, konstant nivå och varierande nivå. Fyrtiotvå tidsdo män reflektometri (TDR) prober användes för att följa LNAPL transporte

Motivational strategies are underresearched, and studies so far conducted have been in sociolinguistic contexts where English is not extensively encountered outside the classroom. Given also that little is known about strategies relating to the design and content of classroom activities, the purpose of this study is to identify and critically evaluate strategies focusing on activity design and con

The understanding of development is changing over time. It came a long way from a simple vision of economic progress to the contemporary human-centred perspective. However, the majority of research on institutional impacts continues to focus exclusively on the economic sphere. Thus, I decided to adopt this theoretical concept in a modern, human-oriented framework and analyse how government quality

This research focuses on the determinants of participation in informal trade and firms for women in West Africa using the example of the Nana Benz in Togo as a case study. Women have been involved in informal trade for centuries, yet their role tends to be overlooked due to gender inequalities. Through a probabilistic approach and using data from Nigeria and Togo, I analyse the main characteristic

Under 2022 hade värdepappersinstitutet Avanza över 1.7 miljoner kunder, och ökade antalet kunde med 100 000 det året. För att försäkra sig om att alla aktörer som handlar med finansiella instrument vill fortsätta handla på marknaden, krävs det att de har förtroende för marknaden. För att aktörerna ska ha förtroende för marknaden är det viktigt alla har tillgång till korrekt information så att de iIn 2022, the securities institute Avanza had over 1.7 million customers, which was an increase by over 100,000 customers that year. To ensure that all actors who trade with financial instruments want to continue to trade, it is crucial that they have confidence in the market. For the parties to have confidence in the market, it is important that everyone have access to correct information so that

Today, the US pursues the global capture of data (understood as a significant engine of growth) by way of bi- and plurilateral trade agreements. However, the project of securing the global free flow of data has been pursued ever since the dawn of digital telecommunication in the 1960s and the US has made significant legal efforts to institutionalise it. These efforts have two phases: In the first

This article discusses practical and theoretical aspects of real-time brain computer interface control methods based on Bayesian statistics. We investigate and improve the performance of automatic control and feedback algorithms of a reactive brain computer interface based on a visual oddball paradigm for faster statistical convergence. We introduce transfer learning using Gaussian mixture models,

Migrant workers, both regular and irregular, are at particular risk of having their rights violated. At the same time, there has been an absence of support for exploited immigrant workers from Swedish authorities and civil society. Lately, a number of trade unions and semi-union organisations in Sweden have developed methods to mobilize the rights of migrant workers experiencing exploitation on th
