This article explores lesson enactments as co-constitutive of human-technology relationality in everyday schooling, rather than neutral backdrops for educational activities. In doing so, the article introduces maintenance as its key concept, drawing on insights from maintenance studies and actor-network theory (ANT). Being both theoretically and empirically informed, maintenance means reconsiderinThis article explores lesson enactments as co-constitutive of human-technology relationality in everyday schooling, rather than neutral backdrops for educational activities.

As public transport is becoming more reliant on digitalizing services, by for example using apps to sell tickets and provide information, it is important for policy to study how this influences customer perceived service quality and satisfaction. In addition, as public transport is viewed as a more environmentally benign form of transportation it also becomes important to monitor how environmental

PFAAs emission to the environment represents a potential risk to human health. Although, long-term global scale fate and transport models have been used to investigate potential trends in environmental levels, temporal trends and transports mechanisms of PFAAs are not fully understood. Due to high solubility in water, the behaviour of PFAAs in soil is important for environmental fate estimation an

Denna studie analyserar tillämpningen av artikel 22 i Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) på kreditupplysningsverksamhetens kreditbedömning i form av kreditbetyg. Fokus är att identifiera juridiska möjligheter och utmaningar i dessa processer. Särskild vikt läggs vid transparensbestämmelserna i artiklarna 13–15 i GDPR. Automatiserade verktyg för kreditupplysningar är baseThis study analyzes the application of Article 22 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (GDPR) to the credit assessment practices of the credit reporting businesses in the form of credit score. The main focus is on identifying the legal opportunities and challenges in these processes. Particular attention is paid to the transparency provisions in Articles 13–15

Decision biases reinforce firms’ tendency to develop innovations based on narrow economic motivations. Consequently, sustainability-oriented ideas explicitly targeting social and environmental issues are easily discarded in idea selection when trade-offs between economic and sustainability values are faced. Given the so far limited knowledge about how sustainability-oriented ideas are developed an

Dr Lisbeth NilssonLearning objectives:1. Describe at least three essential aspects of the facilitating approach.2. Explain why these aspects can facilitate optimal outcomes of intervention.3. Evaluate usefulness of the universal facilitating approach in your own practice.Session description:The process of learning joystick-use and training strategies for each phase in the process were identified i

The factors that influence the atherosclerotic disease process in high-risk individuals remain poorly understood. Here, we used a combination of vascular imaging, risk factor assessment, and biomarkers to identify factors associated with 3-year change in carotid disease severity in a cohort of high-risk subjects treated with preventive therapy (n = 865). The results show that changes in intima-med

We assembled an ancestrally diverse collection of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in 180,834 affected individuals and 1,159,055 controls (48.9% non-European descent) through the Diabetes Meta-Analysis of Trans-Ethnic association studies (DIAMANTE) Consortium. Multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis identified 237 loci attaining stringent genome-wide significance (P < 5 ×

Poland and polish courts have been the subject of much attention during recent years, because of alleged problems in relation to the organisation of justice in Poland. It has been claimed that new suggested legislation in Poland, and changes in the system for appointing judges, prevents courts in Poland from adjudicating justice in a fair and independent manner in accordance with the Rule of Law.

Much attention in the meaningful work literature has been devoted to calling as an orientation toward work characterized by a strong sense of purpose and a prosocial motivation beyond self-gain. Nonetheless, debate remains as to whether individuals change or maintain their calling, and especially whether they live their calling differently in different occupational stages. In this article, we resp

Purpose: This article presents a discussion of how librarians' engagement in certain social movements manifests itself in public libraries, how librarians justify their engagement with specifically the LGBT + movement and the climate movement and what it might entail in terms of legitimacy. Design/methodology/approach: Besides an extensive international literature on libraries and climate/LGBT + i

The individual wishes and priorities of patients with advanced disease are too often neglected, making a deck of cards with statements reflecting potential wishes and priorities a useful conversation tool. However, in the most ill patients, the card selection and sorting process may be too strenuous. The aims of this study were to explore the wishes and priorities of patients receiving palliative

Mathematical modelling in glucose metabolism has proven very useful for different reasons. Several models have allowed deeper understanding of the relevant physiological and pathophysiological aspects and promoted new experimental activity to reach increased knowledge of the biological and physiological systems of interest. Glucose metabolism modelling has also proven useful to identify the parame

To promote human flourishing throughout society, opportunities for arts participation must encompass all citizens. A primary means to promote this is arts education and activities for schoolchildren. Equal opportunities for participation are currently not enjoyed by students with disabilities. In a population-based and cross-sectional study carried out on a 2016 public-health survey including 27,3

The aim of our study was to test the hypothesis that administration of Regenerating islet-derived protein 3α (Reg3α), a protein described as having protective effects against oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory activity, could participate in the control of glucose homeostasis and potentially be a new target of interest in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. To that end the recombinant human Reg3α
