The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have experienced significant migration trends in recent decades, with a heavy reliance on foreign labour, particularly from Southern Asia. As of 2024, the GCC hosts 25 million migrants, with Southern Asians constituting a significant proportion. This demographic reality has shaped the region's socio-economic structure, with expatriates dominating the pr
I studien tillämpas en undervisningsdesign som sätter berättelser i olika uttrycksformer i centrum bland elever i lågstadiets årskurs 1. Syftet med studien är att undersöka lärares och elevers upplevelser och erfarenheter av att arbeta med undervisningsdesignen för att bidra med kunskap om hur undervisning med berättelsen i centrum kan möjliggöra och synliggöra elevers kommunikativa, kreativa och In the study, a teaching design that focuses on stories in various forms of expression is applied in the first-grade classroom. The aim of the study is to examine teachers’ and pupils’ experiences of working with this teaching design in order to contribute with knowledge regarding how story-centred teaching can make possible and make visible pupils’ communicative, creative, and narrative competenc
Syftet med artikeln är att illustrera vilka litterära iakttagelser några elever i årskurs fyra ger uttryck för när de läser berättelsen ”Draken med de röda ögonen” av Astrid Lindgren (1980) och hur dessa iakttagelser kan bidra med kunskap om vad som kan utgöra utgångspunkt och tas tillvara när en Litteraturundervisning planeras och genomförs på mellanstadiet. Datamaterialet består av nio semi-struThe aim of the article is to illustrate which literary observations nine pupils in year four express when they read the story "The Dragon with the Red Eyes" by Astrid Lindgren (1980), and how these observations can contribute with knowledge regarding what the lessons can be based on, and which aspects can be used when literature education is planned and carried out in middle school. The data mater
In response to the challenge to educate democratic citizens and prepare them for life in a global and digital world, a teaching design that focuses on stories that re-claim a place in the literary tradition for groups of people who have been marginalised or silenced in literary classics has been developed and implemented in the upper secondary EFL classroom. The aim of this article is to analyse e
The Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (EAG), as a Financial Action Task Force (FATF)–style regional body (FSRB), synchronises national legislations across Central Asia to combat money laundering and financing terrorism through FATF mechanisms, aiming to eliminate external stresses on large economies. However, the hardening of FATF’s soft law approach through e
Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is the state-of-the-art method for proactive prediction of accident frequency from traffic interactions on a microscopic scale. The main advantage of using EVT is to predict unobserved critical events based on one or more Surrogate Measures of Safety (SMoS) (single- or multivariate EVT) through a mathematical extrapolation of extreme interactions. Such interactions are q
The significance of the great ape heritage to the evolution of human rhythmic competence — as manifested in speech, music and dance — has been greatly underestimated in both past and contemporary research. In this chapter we deconstruct received misconceptions about the rhythmic competence of the apes and defend the position that, contrary to the received view, the great apes likely constitute the
The purpose of this project was to find estimates of the operational releases of 14C and 3H from new SMR technology that is being considered in Sweden, namely the Rolls-Royce SMR and the GE-Hitachi BWRX-300. To achieve this goal, models of the reactors of interest were made in the continuous-energy Monte-Carlo neutron and photon transport code Serpent, where the production of 14C and 3H could then
In mouse early pachytene spermatocytes, the X and Y chromosomes undergo rapid non-homologous (NH) synapsis and desynapsis, but the functional significance remains unknown. Here, we report that pachynema-specific knockout of Speedy A (SpdyA) from telomeres caused persistent Y-X NH synapsis, with the entire Y axis synapsed onto the X axis. This persistent Y-X NH synapsis did not interrupt meiotic se
Fan engagement on social media platforms presents significant challenges for digital preservation due to their dynamic and evolving character, spurred by the platforms’ data-generative and algorithmic features, as well as commercial logic. These characteristics pose problems when capturing information about the context of fan engagement.

Compassion fatigue (CF), a diminished empathic capacity resulting from prolonged exposure to others’ distress, is an emerging concern in the teaching profession. This study investigates the prevalence and predictors of CF among Swedish teachers, with a particular focus on reduced compassion toward students. Drawing on the job demands-resources model and the compassion fatigue resilience model, we
The concept of the rule of law has been a central issue in China for the past two decades, gaining even greater prominence under Xi Jinping’s leadership. This article examines the development of the rule of law in China, drawing on insights from local Chinese scholarship as a vital source for understanding the situation. By analyzing the most cited research articles in the China National Knowledge
Ideas on the (human) body, gender, and identity lie at the core of many socio-political issues and cultural trends in Asia today, while also inspiring innovative research on artistic expression from Asia's past. By focusing on socio-political as well as cultural issues from diverse geographical and historical contexts, this book highlights complex links and interactions that bind these three inter
Probing the internal structure of crystalline materials is vital for understanding and optimizing their functional properties, especially in semiconductors and multiferroics, where nanoscale distortions such as strain and lattice tilt can dramatically affect performance. Among various characterization tools, X-ray diffraction imaging offers a unique combination of deep penetration, nondestructive
PURPOSE The ESPAC4 trial showed that adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus capecitabine (GemCap) produced longer overall survival (OS) than gemcitabine monotherapy. Subsequently, the PRODIGE24-CCTG PA.6 trial showed even longer survival for modified fluorouracil, folinic acid, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) than gemcitabine but had more restrictive eligibility criteria. Our aim wa
Ultra-hot Jupiters, an extreme class of planets not found in our Solar System, provide a unique window into atmospheric processes. The extreme temperature contrasts between their day and night sides pose a fundamental climate puzzle: how is energy distributed? To address this, we must observe the three-dimensional structure of these atmospheres, particularly their vertical circulation patterns tha
