Rethinking responses to the world’s water crises

The world faces multiple water crises, including overextraction, flooding, ecosystem degradation and inequitable safe water access. Insufficient funding and ineffective implementation impede progress in water access, while, in part, a misdiagnosis of the causes has prioritized some responses over others (for example, hard over soft infrastructure). We reframe the responses to mitigating the world’

Hades och Persefone : En modern romans

Artikeln behandlar den moderna receptionen av myten om Persefones bortförande. Myten har fått ett uppsving inom den erotiska litteraturen där narrativet kan mixtras med för författarens ändamål. Bortförandet som med moderna mått mätt skulle ses som en våldshandling kan romantiseras eller framhävas, för att göra Hades mer sympatisk eller för att sexualisera våldsdådet. Myten har kommit långt från s

Rasism mot judar : Ett utforskande av den svenska rasregimen

Hur ser den samtida rasismen mot judar ut i Sverige? Vilka uttryck tar den sig, och hur samspelar den med det svenska samhällets föreställningar om nationell tillhörighet?I Rasism mot judar blottlägger genusvetaren Hansalbin Sältenberg de subtila former av diskriminering som svenska judar möter i dag. Med en kritisk blick belyser han hur judar i Sverige placeras i en ambivalent position: å ena sid

Social identities and democratic vulnerabilities : Learning from examples of targeted disinformation

The exploitation of identity politics, amplified by today’s interconnected information environment, has become a powerful weapon against inclusive democracy. This Hybrid CoE Paper discusses the intersection of social identities and hybrid threats, presenting case studies from Germany, France, Sweden and beyond to illustrate how hybrid threat actors manipulate ethnic, religious, gender and socioeco

Affixoids: Evidence from Persian

Some evidence from Persian supports the existence of constituents that show properties of affixoids or what might be referred to as semi-affixes. These constitutes can stand independently but, in combination with certain nouns, show a rather notable distribution and, in that context, behave like a derivational affix. In such contexts, there is a semantic change in the derived form when an affixoid

RoadRAT – A new framework to assess the probability of inundation, wave runup, and erosion impacting coastal roads

This paper introduces a new framework – RoadRAT - to calculate the probability of inundation, wave runup, and storm erosion impacting coastal roads. Extreme value analysis is applied to annual maxima of observed and simulated still water level levels (SWL), total water levels (SWL + runup), and storm erosion volumes. The probability of impact on the road is derived both for the present conditions

Estimating erosion resistance of vegetated sea dike embankments through in situ experiments

Through in situ experiments, this study investigated the erosion resistance of a prototype dike with different vegetation and soil sections built on the Falsterbo peninsula, Sweden. A gravity-driven wave impact simulator was used to simulate waves breaking on the dike. Two sandy soils and three vegetation types (standard grass, biodiverse seed mixture, and hay) were tested for this study. In gener

AI-driven FMEA : integration of large language models for faster and more accurate risk analysis

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a critical but labor-intensive process in product development that aims to identify and mitigate potential failure modes to ensure product quality and reliability. In this paper, a novel framework to improve the FMEA process by integrating generative artificial intelligence (AI), in particular large language models (LLMs), is presented. By using these ad

Mind the Boundaries : Neurocognitive and AI-Driven Insights into Event Perception in Audio-Described Films

A fundamental aspect of the human mind is its ability to perceive, understand, and remember life experiences, which we process as distinct and meaningful sequences of events, each with a clear beginning and end. This includes experiences from audiovisual media. However, while movies do not explicitly signal when one event ends and another begins, viewers still consistently and automatically percei

Improved Working Conditions and Paths to Worker Solidarity in an Increasingly Diversified EU

The chapter discusses the importance of the EU continuing to promote improved living and working conditions for its citizens without simultaneously risking competition between workers from different member states. The problem discussion is based on the significance of social improvements for the EU to maintain support among citizens and the challenges that arise when EU law encounters the differen

Structural Insights into Common and Host-Specific Receptor-Binding Mechanisms in Algal Picorna-like Viruses

Marnaviridae viruses are abundant algal viruses that regulate the dynamics of algal blooms in aquatic environments. They employ a narrow host range because they merely lyse their algal host species. This host-specific lysis is thought to correspond to the unique receptor-binding mechanism of the Marnaviridae viruses. Here, we present the atomic structures of the full and empty capsids of Chaetocer

On New Year's Eve 1947, the Danish Catholic priest Peter Schindler moved into the German Priests’ College at the Campo Santo Teutonico, the idyllic German cemetery in the Vatican. He remained there for twenty years, returning to Denmark only in 1964. By then, he was in poor health and passed away three years later. In his memoirs, he states that he had been sent to Rome by the Apostolic Vicar of D
