Black carbon (BC), or soot, is produced by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biomass, and waste. It is strongly light-absorbing and contributes to global warming, cloud formation, accelerated melt of snow and ice, with negative impacts on human health. Despite the well-known importance of BC in the climate system, there are large uncertainties in the radiative effects of BC, and its interacti
Digital twins require computationally-efficient reduced-order models (ROMs) that can accurately describe complex dynamics of physical assets. However, constructing ROMs from noisy high-dimensional data is challenging. In this work, we propose a data-driven, non-intrusive method that utilizes stochastic variational deep kernel learning (SVDKL) to discover low-dimensional latent spaces from data and
Av vissa historiker har hon blivit framställd som en beräknande giftmörderska, men vem var hon egentligen? År 58 f.Kr. föds Livia Drusilla in i en av Roms allra förnämsta familjer. När hon är tonåring mördas Julius Ceasar och det politiska efterspelet gör att hon tvingas i landsflykt. När Livia får återvända gifter hon om sig med Octavianus – blivande kejsare Augustus. Tillsammans lägger de grunde
En familjetragedi, thriller, religiöst drama eller smäktande romantik? Berättelsen om drottning Kleopatra har allt! För drygt 2 000 år sedan levde drottning Kleopatra ett dramatiskt liv. Med hjälp av mod, list och politisk skicklighet kämpade hon för att bevara Egyptens självständighet, och regerade i 21 år.
När gladiatorn Spartacus först slår sig fri från sin fångenskap år 73 f.Kr. blir det inledningen på ett slavuppror som kommer att skaka Rom i grundvalarna. Under två års tid lyckas inte de ledande få stopp på den upproriska armén av slavar. När den romerska armén till slut slår ned upproret blir Spartacus en revolutionär ikon. I modern tid har han har anammats av både av socialister, nationalister
För 2 000 år sedan levde Lucius Annaeus Seneca ett dramatiskt och osäkert liv. Men han vidareutvecklade också stoicismens tankar, och hans förhållningssätt till tillvaron har kommit att bli användbara för människor idag.
Varför återvänder vi ständigt till de gamla grekerna och romarna? Antiken är en evig referenspunkt i den västerländska kulturen. Vi romantiserar och omtolkar, missbrukar och missförstår den. Men vilket är egentligen det viktigaste arvet efter antiken? Vad ska vi göra med det idag? Och vilka verk från antiken bör varje människa känna till? Bildningspodden försöker sammanfatta antiken och dess arv p
At MAX IV pixelated area detectors are operated at high frame rates to take advantage of the X-ray beam properties available from the fourth generation synchrotron in scattering, diffraction and imaging applications. A variety of photon counting and charge integrating detectors and sCMOS cameras have been integrated into a common data acquisition (DAQ) system in which data are streamed to a centra
This response addresses a commentary by Orhan and Bal on our study of immigrant background and rape+ conviction in Sweden. We agree that conviction data do not capture all offending and that bias may occur at different stages of the criminal justice process. Our disagreement concerns the commentary?s movement from the possibility of such bias to an interpretation in which unequal legal treatment i
Innovation characterizes industrial, economic, and societal development. Within the domain of the built environment, technological advancements are continuously pursued to enhance structural safety, functionality, and cost efficiency. At the same time, the challenges associated with ageing infrastructure and constrained resources necessitate the systematic development and effective diffusion of te
This paper examines FabLabs as machine-centred promissory organizations, where futures are not only imagined, but also materially enacted. Drawing on new materialist and process perspectives, we conceptualize FabLabs as promissory assemblages of entangled human and non-human actors, through which future-making is enacted. We show that machines are central agents for the materialization of imagined
In many countries, welfare organisations have adopted a 'digital first' approach. However, a major challenge for welfare organisations is to provide more and better-equipped digital services, while ensuring that they do not create higher thresholds for accessing welfare services. This article is based on a qualitative interview study with care users who received video visits from home care in SwedIn many countries, welfare organisations have adopted a 'digital first' approach.

Landslides along the right bank of the Danube in northern Serbia form an important slope instability system where loess and paleosol sequences, heterogeneous substrates, riparian hydrological conditions, and urban expansion interact. This study investigates the recently activated Sremska Kamenica landslide in Novi Sad, Serbia, by assessing natural and anthropogenic factors affecting landslide acti
In this article, I demonstrate the value of attending to scalar aesthetics. By scalar aesthetics, I mean the showing, making perceptible or making public of relations between big and small, specific and general, local and global, domestic and international. I suggest that the burgeoning field of ‘art geographies’ and research in cultural geography more generally should extend and sharpen its atten
Major- and trace-element geochemistry has proven to be a valuable tool for addressing the question of loess provenance. However, few provenance studies have investigated temporal changes in loess provenance. This work presents a novel approach to analyzing loess provenance, particularly its temporal variability, by identifying reliable provenance proxies using the method of Fralick and Kronberg (1
Ghosts in Sweden? It sounds strange to place the supernatural in a country of health-conscious, pragmatic engineers. But even though Swedes readily accept modernity, their popular culture hints at something else.
E-commerce returns are costly yet associated with higher purchasing, creating a profitability paradox. Using archival data from a Nordic fashion retailer (2015–2022; 260,698 orders; 110,772 customers), we test an exposure-based framework with Bernoulli modeling, difference-in-differences with matched controls, and profitability threshold analysis. Returner status follows a Bernoulli exposure patte
