This article unpacks the politics of disinformation attribution as deterrence. Research and policy on disinformation deterrence commonly draw on frameworks inspired by cyber deterrence to address the ‘attribution problem’, thereby overlooking the political aspects underpinning attribution strategies in liberal democracies. Addressing this gap and bringing together disinformation studies and the fo
This Letter presents results from a combination of searches for Higgs boson pair production using 126-140 fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector. At 95% confidence level (CL), the upper limit on the production rate is 2.9 times the standard model (SM) prediction, with an expected limit of 2.4 assuming no Higgs boson pair production. Constraints o
This Letter presents the first study of the energy dependence of diboson polarization fractions in WZ→ℓνℓ^{'}ℓ^{'}(ℓ,ℓ^{'}=e,μ) production. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb^{-1} of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector. Two fiducial regions with an enhanced presence of events featuring two longitudinally polar
The role of the parliamentary opposition remains conspicuously absent in the literature on intelligence accountability and oversight. This chapter addresses the role of the parliamentary opposition in the oversight of Sweden’s intelligence agencies. In the first section, this chapter addresses the so-called institutional opportunity structures, whereby the opposition may challenge the majority on
Music reading is a central skill for choral singers and conductors. The objective of this dissertation was to address the question of what strategies experienced musicians with a choral background use when reading and memorizing vocal music. This investigation consisted of four studies, each shedding light on musicians’ reading and processing strategies.The research was conducted using a variety o
Berries are a rich source of natural antioxidant compounds, which are essential to profile, as they add to their nutritional value. However, the complexity of the matrix and the structural diversity of these compounds pose challenges in extraction and chromatographic separation. By relying on multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) ability to extract components from compl
Objectives:The Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP) comprehensively addresses dyspnea, incorporating both perceptual and affective components, and has proven effective in assessing breathlessness among patients with chronic lung conditions. Despite its validation in High-Income Countries, its applicability in Low/Middle-Income countries remains uncertain. Additionally, the MDP has not been trans
Groundwater models can be powerful tools for managing groundwater resources, optimizing their use, mitigating risks, and provide decision-makers with forecasts of different management actions. To fulfill this purpose, it is generally advocated that a model should quantify the uncertainty associated with the outcomes it aims to assess, the rationale being that decisions made without an understandin
Smartphones, social media, digital applications, and the Internet are intrinsic to everyday life in the modern society. The volume People, Technology, and Social Organization: Interactionist Studies of Everyday Life, edited by Dirk vom Lehn, Will Gibson, and Natalia Ruiz-Junco (2024), makes a timely contribution to research on technology use. According to the editors, the aim of the volume was to
In recent years motivational interviewing (MI) has become increasingly popular in various social work contexts. In this paper we explore MI practices when applied in social services’ anonymous online chat in Sweden. The data consists of chat logs from social services’ online chat in one of Swedish municipalities. We use the approach of conversation analysis (CA), particularly developments in recen
In anonymous online text-based counselling provided by social services, counsellors face specific communicative and professional challenges. One of the challenges is a higher risk of misunderstanding in textual encounters due to the lack of non-verbal clues and conversation participants’ anonymity (Bambling et al. 2008; Dowling & Rickwood 2014; Fukkink & Hermanns 2009). Chat counsellors ne
Biba v Albania raises multiple questions about the Court’s reasoning when State responsibility is established for breach of positive obligations under Article 8 ECHR. Given that three of the seven judges dissented, different answers are possible as to the scope and the content of these obligations in the school context and the standards for determining a breach. After briefly describing the factua
In this book review symposium on Vladislava Stoyanova’s book ‘Positive Obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights: Within and Beyond Boundaries’ (Oxford University Press 2023), scholars reflect on the book’s contribution to the study of positive obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and to the understanding of the ECtHR’s approach toward the identification and th
In 1934, Walter Benjamin published his major study Franz Kafka: Zur zehnten Wiederkehr seines Todestages. In the same year, Günther Anders, another German Jew in exile, gave a lecture on Kafka which later, in postwar years, developed into a small book titled Kafka, Pro und Contra. Bringing these two in dialogue—the much-celebrated essay by Benjamin and the generally overlooked book by Anders—the p
Carbon sequestration is an essential ecosystem service (ES) for climate change mitigation. For reasons of simplicity this ES is often quantified considering carbon storage in four carbon pools: aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, dead organic matter and soil organic carbon. Indicators of these four pools are estimated by modelling, reference values, or field methods and data processing of di
Pollination is a critical ecosystem service given its essential role in sustaining food production, while pollinating insects are declining worldwide. Pollination capacity can be estimated through direct indicators characterising pollinator communities. Pollinators need feeding and nesting resources, so their presence can also be estimated through indirect indicators characterising these resources
Observed declines in pollinator populations due to human pressures is of critical concern because pollination is an essential regulating ecosystem service (ES). Pollination has a major role in human food production and in maintaining flowering plant diversity. Estimating the pollination ES and its trends is thus essential for informing policy and management. However, the pollination ES remains poo
Beauty is bought by judgment of the eye (Shakespeare, Loves Labours Lost), but the bodily features governing this critical biological choice are still debated. Eye movement studies have demonstrated that males sample coarse body regions expanding from the face, the breasts and the midriff, while making female attractiveness judgements with natural vision. However, the visual system ubiquitously ex
