Recent years have seen profound challenges to democracy, including grave populist and autocratic shifts. In the Opinion, the EGE examines how certain configurations of digital technologies can contribute to a weakening of democratic institutions, even if they may not be its sole cause. Among these are the spread of harmful information, an unduly narrow understanding of privacy, algorithmic surveil

Adaptive flyway management of superabundant geese is emerging as a strategy to reduce damage to agricultural crops and other ecosystem disservices, while also ensuring sustainable use and conservation objectives. Given the calls for intensified hunting as part of flyway management in Europe, we need to increase the understanding of structural, situational, and psychological factors important for g

This thesis investigates how freedom of speech is implemented in a Swedish library context, by examining what actions and practices the concept is translated into at the Dawit Isaak Library in Malmö, a library focused on freedom of speech and banned literature that opened at Malmö City Archive in 2020. The aim of the study is to illuminate and clarify discrepancies between the theoretical definiti

There are plenty of books and articles on research methods, but few discuss the nature and purpose of method sections in academic journals. Based on interviews with critical and interpretivist researchers, this short paper examines the nature and purpose of method sections in management and organization studies. We show how researchers make sense of, and struggle with, positivist expectations abou

3D integration of III-V semiconductors with Si CMOS is highly attractive since it allows combining new functions such as photonic and analog devices with digital signal processing circuitry. Thus far, most 3D integration approaches have used epitaxial growth on Si, layer transfer by wafer bonding, or die-to-die packaging. Here we present low-temperature integration of InAs on W using Si3N4 templat

I mötet med människor som avviker från normen sker något viktigt med oss. Det ärmycket tack vare »den Andre« de som inte är som vi som vi får reda på vilka vi egentligen är.I västerlandet har kristendomen varit norm i tusen år, och det var under kristendomenstidiga historia som många av vår kulturs traditionella fiendebilder föddes. De har spelat en viktig roll för framväxten av vårt moderna samhä

In the last decades, numerous post-mortem case series have documented chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in former contact-sport athletes, though reports of CTE pathology in former soccer players are scarce. This study presents a clinicopathological case of a former professional soccer player with young-onset dementia. The patient experienced early onset progressive cognitive decline and devel

”Most of Sweden’s surface is covered by forest, 68 percent is woodland; the built-up and landscaped land does not make up more than 3 percent of Sweden’s total land area. About 50% of the forest land is made of pine (Pinus sylvestris), making it the most common tree species in the country’s forests.” In the 70s, a design movement was established in Swedish homes “ Svensk fur”. It was cheap, hones

N-2030 is an autonomous car-sharing interior concept that suggests what we humans could be doing in the future of vehicles. Dead time during travelling opens up new abilities of spending time. N-2030 has a focus point on investigating how people have and are using free time in everyday life. Fully autonomous vehicles opens up an opportunity to break the tradition of what to do in a future car int

Continuous use of cloud computing and cloud sourcing has received limited research attention compared to cloud adoption. There are indications that cloud sourcing benefits are not easy to reap in continuous use for companies, calling for more research on the continuance use of cloud computing. The current study is one of the first studies of the continuance use of cloud computing processes at the

In our meta-study from 2022, “A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality – II,” we find that the effect of lockdowns—also referred to as ‘Covid restrictions,’ ‘social distancing measures,’ etc.—on mortality was negligible. The first version of our meta-study received criticism from Banholzer, et al. (2022). The authors raised “concerns regarding the sub

Detta examensarbetes huvudsyfte var att jämföra säkerhetsfaktorerna för den svenska och den danska beräkningsmetodiken i markförhållanden sand och lera ovanpå moränlera. Den verkliga bärförmågan i markförhållandena togs fram genom CAPWAP-mätningar. Säkerhetsfaktorn med den svenska beräkningsmetodiken blev 2.7 och säkerhetsfaktorn med den danska beräkningsmetodiken blev 1.3. Detta visar att den sve

IKZF1 deletions are an established prognostic factor in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, their relevance in patients with good risk genetics, namely ETV6::RUNX1 and high hyperdiploid (HeH), ALL remains unclear. We assessed the prognostic impact of IKZF1 deletions in 939 ETV6::RUNX1 and 968 HeH ALL patients by evaluating data from 16 trials from 9 study groups. Only 3% of ETV6

Comparing contemporary legislation and social debates to films and TV-shows from the 2000s and 2010s, this study shows a change in approach to the subject of sexual assault from an intersectional angle. The analysis describes a more individual, neo-liberal angle in the early 2000s, and a more holistic and societal angle in the 2010s. With the intersectional approach, the study finds that whiteness
