Social Value of the Child

This pictorial presentation of childhood aims to provide a visual depiction of the social value of the children in rural Punjabi socio-cultural context. I took these photographs in a village in south Punjab, Pakistan while doing an ethnographic inquiry about infant healthcare belief practices and the social value of the child in rural Punjab.

Is tourist walkability and well-being different?

Despite the environmental and health importance of tourist walking, specific research on walking and tourism is limited, with walking in leisure and work contexts often being used as a proxy. To fill this gap, this study identifies the effects of perception of air quality and mitigating climate change on attachment to walking relevant to walkable places and subjective well-being, along with compar

The dis/ablement of bodies in semiotic landscapes – a citizen science approach

Much of our built environment is constructed to accommodate ‘normate’ (Garland-Thomson 1996; Hamraie 2017) bodies. This fact may remain invisible to normate users of public space, much as the ordering of human interaction through categorisation is often invisible (Bowker & Star 1999).

Initial Analysis of Dynamic Panel Activation for Large Intelligent Surfaces

Large intelligent surfaces (LIS) have the potential to be the beyond-massive-MIMO solution, even further improving spectral efficiency, coverage, reliability and other performance measures. They also open up for entirely new services, such as precise localization, environment sensing, and wireless energy transfer. By constructing larger surfaces as a grid of panels, we can activate and deactivate

Manifestation of panuveitis after intraocular surgery in a child with blau syndrome

Blau syndrome (BS) is a rare granulomatous disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. It is characterized by a triad of dermatitis, arthritis, and recurrent uveitis. This case presents the onset of panuveitis in BS after intraocular surgery. A 10-year-old boy presented to the outpatient clinic with retinal detachment in the left eye after 6 years following early-onset cataract surgery. Bilateral

Let’s move beyond word battles and separatism: Strategies and concerns regarding Universal Design in Sweden

Purpose – Universal design (UD) is defined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and adopted in Sweden as a guiding principle for the design of new products, facilities, services, etc. This study aims to contribute to knowledge about UD in practice – how it is conceived,experienced and discussed in Sweden, especially regarding education, working life

Coordination during Cholera Outbreak Response : Critical Insights from Yemen

Within the humanitarian arena and since the introduction of the humanitarian reform process in 2005, the cluster approach was introduced to strengthen the cooperation and accountability between agencies working in the same field. Such an integrated approach is particularly needed and relevant in emergencies like cholera, especially in countries undergoing internal conflicts like Yemen. Several are

Preservation and Taphonomy of Fossil Insects from the Earliest Eocene of Denmark

Marine sediments of the lowermost Eocene Stolleklint Clay and Fur Formation of north-western Denmark have yielded abundant well-preserved insects. However, despite a long history of research, in-depth information pertaining to preservational modes and taphonomic pathways of these exceptional animal fossils remains scarce. In this paper, we use a combination of scanning electron microscopy coupled

An Energy-Efficient Near-Memory Computing Architecture for CNN Inference at Cache Level

A non-von Neumann Near-Memory Computing architecture, optimized for CNN inference in edge computing, is integrated in the cache memory sub-system of a microcontroller unit. The NMC co-processor is evaluated using an 8-bit fixed-point quantized CNN model, and achieves an accuracy of 98% on the MNIST dataset. A full inference of the CNN model executed on the NMC processor, demonstrates an improvemen

Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Penile Cancer. Risk Factors and Treatment.

AbstractPenile cancer and its precursor, penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN), are rare malignancies. Data on risk factors, incidence, and treatment of PeIN is scarce. The prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) varies substantially between studies of penile cancer.The aims of this thesis were to explore the incidence, risk factors and treatment of PeIN; to analyse the prevalence of HPV and sk

Cross-borehole ERT : Sensitivity, model resolution, and field data quality

Sensitivity, resolution, and data quality are important parameters to consider when designing an ERT cross-borehole survey. We present an open-source algorithm for computing 2D and 3D sensitivity patterns of any borehole setup and use this to compare single-borehole and different cross-borehole electrode configurations, which both show complex patterns. To study the resolution capability of an ent

Cross-borehole electrical monitoring in groundwater remediation projects : Understanding the flow path of remediation agents

In-situ remediation of contaminated groundwater often relies on the installation of a treatment zone degrading the pollution plume. In such projects, adequate delivery of remediation agents in the whole target volume is not trivial. Monitoring the spatial distribution of injected reagents is important for engineers and decision-makers, in order to determine the need of more careful injection in so

Response of an Afro-Palearctic bird migrant to glaciation cycles

Migration allows animals to exploit spatially separated and seasonally available resources at a continental to global scale. However, responding to global climatic changes might prove challenging, especially for long-distance intercontinental migrants. During glacial periods, when conditions became too harsh for breeding in the north, avian migrants have been hypothesized to retract their distribu

Leaving the multinational : The likelihood and nature of employee mobility from MNEs

The mobility of workers from multinational enterprises (MNEs) to other local firms is increasingly recognized as an important externality mechanism. However, MNEs have strong incentives to curb this mobility to prevent leakage of firm-specific assets. This research note investigates the likelihood and nature of such mobility patterns. Using longitudinal, matched employer–employee data for Sweden w

Performance enhancement of GaSb vertical nanowire p-type MOSFETs on Si by rapid thermal annealing

GaSb is considered as an attractive p-type channel material for future III-V metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) technologies, but the processing conditions to utilize the full device potential such as low power logic applications and RF applications still need attention. In this work, applying rapid thermal annealing (RTA) to nanoscale GaSb vertical nanowire p-type MOS field-effect transistors, we ha
