The Ephemeral City : Songs for the Ghost Quarters

Kyrkspirorna och tornen på Stockholms horisont blandar sig med radiosändningar som flyger ut över staden bredvid privatiserade våglängder, driver ner genom atmosfären och sjunker ner i det övergivna underjordiska telefonsystemet. Stockholm har byggnader som funnits där i århundraden, men är också full av den mest moderna och samtida arkitektur. Allt konkurrerar om sin plats i det kollektiva minnetThe towers of the Stockholm skyline twine with radio transmissions, flying out over the city, drifting down through the streets and sinking into the underground telephone system below. Stockholm has buildings that have been there for centuries, but is also full of modern and contemporary architectures, all jostling for their place in parallel collective memory. In taking the city up as a subject,

The Future Is the Termination Shock: On the Antinomies and Psychopathologies of Solar Geoengineering. Part One

As capitalist society remains incapable of addressing climate breakdown, one measure is waiting in the wings: solar geoengineering. No other technology can cut global temperatures immediately. It would alleviate the symptoms of the crisis, not its causes. But might it be combined with radical emissions cuts? This essay, the first instalment of two, scrutinises the rationalist-optimist case for geo

Test-retest analysis of cerebral oxygen extraction estimates in healthy volunteers : comparison of methods based on quantitative susceptibility mapping and dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging

Background: Estimation of the oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) by quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is promising but requires systematic evaluation. Extraction of OEF-related information from the tissue residue function in dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) has also been proposed. In this study, whole-brain OEF repeatability was investigated, as

Estimating local-scale forest GPP in Northern Europe using Sentinel-2 : Model comparisons with LUE, APAR, the plant phenology index, and a light response function

Northern forest ecosystems make up an important part of the global carbon cycle. Hence, monitoring local-scale gross primary production (GPP) of northern forest is essential for understanding climatic change impacts on terrestrial carbon sequestration and for assessing and planning management practices. Here we evaluate and compare four methods for estimating GPP using Sentinel-2 data in order to

Analysis of liquid surface deformation and breakups using three-dimensional high-speed data recorded with a single camera

Analyzing the deformation of liquid surfaces to better understand, for example, wave generation in oceanology or the formation of industrial spray systems, requires a series of three-dimensional snapshots that temporally resolve such events. This requirement is challenging, especially when applied to transient liquid surfaces that deform rapidly. A technique called Fringe Projection-Laser Induced

Acute burn care and outcomes at the Hospital Nacional Guido Valadares (HNGV), Timor-Leste : A 7-year retrospective study

The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of patients presenting with acute burns and undergoing admission at Hospital Nacional Guido Valadares (HNGV) in Dili, Timor-Leste in the period 2013 to 2019. HNGV is the only tertiary referral hospital in Timor-Leste. This was a retrospective study involving all acute burn patients admitted to the surgical wards of HNGV from 2013 to 2019.

Understanding the effect of Intake temperature on the ϕ-sensitivity of toluene-ethanol reference fuels and neat ethanol

The low-temperature combustion (LTC) is an attractive concept that enables the modem combustion engines to move toward sustainability mainly by increasing the efficiency and decreasing the emissions. The modern combustion engines which are working based on the LTC concept have specific fuel requirements. Fuel ϕ-sensitivity is a key factor to be considered for tailoring fuels for these engines. Fue

The Foreign Policies of European Union Member States

This comparative analysis of the foreign policies of European Union member states includes comprehensive coverage of the post-Maastricht period and the three newest members of the EU. In the only comparative study of its kind since 1976, the book analyzes the dual impact of the Maastricht Treaty on the European Union, and the post-Cold War environment on the foreign policy processes of the EU’s me

Att vara äldre i socialt utsatta bostadsområden : Strategier och erfarenheter av att bo och leva på en plats där kriminalitet och störningar har blivit en del av vardagen

Sedan Polismyndigheten 2015 publicerade den första listan över socialt utsatta områden i svenska städer har problematiken där fått mycket uppmärksamhet i den politiska samhällsdebatten, i media och i forskning. På kommunal och nationell nivå diskuteras orsaker och möjliga lösningar rörande dåliga levnadsförhållanden, parallella maktstrukturer, kriminalitet och utanförskap. I fokus för diskussioner

Drivers of and Barriers to COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Dose Acceptance in Indonesia

Obtaining a booster dose of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine is required to maintain the protective level of neutralizing antibodies and therefore herd immunity in the community, and the success of booster dose programs depends on public acceptance. The aim of this study was to determine the acceptance of a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine and its drivers and barriers in Indonesia. A cr

Ghost Prelude

This is a collaborative composition/improvisation made for organist Karin Johansson. Since Johansson combined her work with me with a project she was doing about choral preludes, both recordings feature segues between Ghost Prelude and some of the choral preludes she was working on. This is a collaborative work.

Virvelns trädgård

The garden at the Moderna Museet is a garden for a future – even a post-future! – which had already passed into history when I arrived in 2011. I spent much of that summer contemplating this paradox through the lens of the presence and resonating echoes of Frukost i den Gröna and Paradiset. Even more, the colorful story of the Bucky Dome which had been erected in the garden illuminated the recentl

Psychogeography and Psycho-sonic Cartography : The creation of Ephemeral Place through Electroacoustic Music

As forces like gentrification and globalization affect the fabric of city life, it grows difficult for a single individual to identify their own story, history or place, or shape any part of the cities where they live as unique from any other. How can music, and particularly electroacoustic music, become a way to map new psycho- geographies? Can such music empower others to tell their own stories,

Central versus Peripheral Postcardiotomy Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation : Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis

Background: It is unclear whether peripheral arterial cannulation is superior to central arterial cannulation for postcardiotomy veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Methods: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify studies on postcardiotomy VA-ECMO for the present individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis. Analysis was perfor
