Contribution to the international exhibition of the 60th Venice Biennale with the mixed media installation "The Mapping Journey Project", the works on paper "The Constellations Series", and the textile "Sea-Drifts".

Background: Postoperative management after surgery for perforated peptic ulcer is still burdened by old traditions. All available data for fast-track recovery in this setting are either very unspecific or underpowered. The aim of this study was to evaluate fast-track recovery in this diagnosis-specific context in a larger sample. Methods: Electronic data sources were searched. Eligible studies wer

This paper investigates the impact of investor attention on the dynamics of the value premium. We find superior return differences to value-growth strategy conditioned as low degree of investor attention. In contrast, return differences to the value-growth strategy conditioned as high investor attention are indifferent from zero. We show that return differences to low degree of investor attention

A blog post discussing my research on the future visions of AI in health in the Nordics.

Motivated by empirical research on bias and opinion formation, we formulate a multidimensional nonlinear opinion-dynamical model where agents have individual biases, which are fixed, as well as opinions, which evolve. The dimensions represent competing options, of which each agent has a relative opinion, and are coupled through normalization of the opinion vector. This can capture, for example, an

This is the first volume to address climate-related human mobility in the Nordic region in a single thematic and interdisciplinary volume. It grew out of the first workshops of the Nordic Network on Climate-Related Displacement and Mobility (Nordic Network), founded in 2019 by the co-editors. The workshops and ongoing collaboration through the Nordic Network revealed that very limited academic res

RNA sequencing (RNAseq) methodology has experienced a burst of technological developments in the last decade, which has opened up opportunities for studying the mechanisms of adaptation to environmental factors at both the organismal and cellular level. Selecting the most suitable experimental approach for specific research questions and model systems can, however, be a challenge and researchers i

The chemical and biological conversion of biomass-derived lignin is a promising pathway for producing valuable low molecular weight aromatic chemicals, such as vanillin or guaiacol, known as lignin monomers (LMs). Various methods employing chromatography and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI–MS) have been developed for LM analysis, but the impact of LM chemical properties on analytica

Background: There are several factors that lead to the growth or decline of the nonperforming loans, such as macroeconomic variables and bank specific variables, banks ownership structure, corruption and information sharing. Among them one of the main factors that affect the non-performing loans are the corruption. In developing countries corruption plays very important role in the growth of non-p

Objectives: The objective of this study is to develop classification criteria for overall hand osteoarthritis (OA), interphalangeal OA and thumb base OA based on self-reported data and radiographic features. Methods: The classification criteria sets were developed in three phases. In phase 1, we identified criteria that discriminated hand OA from controls. In phase 2, we used a consensus-based dec

This thesis examines the patterns and characteristics of the reasoning behind the military support provided to Ukraine by its Western partners within the European Union (Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands) following the Russian full-scale invasion in February 2022. The thesis investigates the characteristics of the official rhetoric of military aid supplies to Ukraine by examining the government

Gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential for sustainable development. This chapter offers an overview of gender inequalities in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, delving into the historical context of such disparities. The chapter highlights the significant progress made through the implementation of legal frameworks and policies. However, despite the progress made, gender ine

"distinguish the limit from the edge" expands upon the dialogue between Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Jimmy Robert by assembling a selection of additional work by both artists. Edited by Jacob Korczynski, "distinguish the limit from the edge" is commissioned by Book Works and published with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Korea Arts Management Services in association wit

The risk of above-ankle reamputation following a transmetatarsal amputation is around 30%. Patient selection may be crucial to achieve good outcomes, and to avoid futile operations and suffering. We are aware of no previous comparison between the two largest patient groups that undergo lower extremity amputations: patients with diabetes, and patients with non-diabetic peripheral artery disease. Pa

This chapter presents a summary and state-of-the-art overview of heat transfer and thermal management of electrochemical devices like Li-ion batteries and proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Some basic processes are introduced, and the fundamentals of heat generation are presented. The control of temperature fields by various thermal management methods are described. Some examples are demonstrate

On October 9, 2023, Harvard University Professor Claudia Goldin received the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, a landmark achievement that not only celebrates her outstanding contributions but also highlights the profound impact an economist can have on society.

The problem of decoding random codes is a fundamental problem for code-based cryptography, including recent code-based candidates in the NIST post-quantum standardization process. In this paper, we present a novel Sieving-style Information-set Decoding algorithm, addressing the task of solving the syndrome decoding problem. Our approach involves maintaining a list of weight-2p solution vectors to

This thesis explores the hillfort at Hälleberga Backe, dated between 400 – 700 AD, from landscape analysis methods like viewshed and least cost path (LCP) analysis, and the distribution of archaeological features and finds found in Göinge dated to the Late Iron Age. The primary interpretation of the hillfort’s function was as a watch tower or central point along the Alma and Helge Rivers, contro
