Formants (vocal tract resonances) are increasingly analyzed not only by phoneticians in speech but also by behavioral scientists studying diverse phenomena such as acoustic size exaggeration and articulatory abilities of non-human animals. This often involves estimating vocal tract length acoustically and producing scale-invariant representations of formant patterns. We present a theoretical frame
Med utgångspunkt i historiska och empiriska beskrivningar av offentliga och privata badanläggningar i Japan undersöker denna artikel kulturella betydelser i japanska badvanor. Genom att undersöka nakenhet och varmt vatten som förmedlare av närhet och intim socialitet i Japan, utmanar artikeln gränserna mellan den privata och offentliga sfären och det intima och sociala. Artikeln visar att badvanorBased on historical and empirical descriptions of bathing practice in public bath-houses and private bathing facilities in Japan, this article examines cultural meanings embedded in Japanese bathing practice. The article explores the relation between Japanese bathing practice and notions of the private and the public spheres as well as intimacy and sociality. By studying naked skin and hot water a
The photophysics of layered halide perovskites reveals a rich disposition of exciton behavior. Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) is a powerful technique for investigating such excitonic interactions and dynamics. However, the wide spectral range of layered perovskites presents a challenge in studies utilizing conventional 2DES setups to simultaneously probe their interacting excitonic
This keynote presentation explores the transformative potential of digital technologies, with a specific focus on the Internet of Things (IoT), in revolutionizing food production for a more sustainable and efficient future. It delves into the critical issue of solid food waste and how digitization, through IoT, provides valuable insights to curtail waste and enhance resource efficiency in food man
Legal persons have traditionally been understood as entities with legal rights and/or duties. This traditional concept of legal personhood has been challenged during the last decades: In legal practice through the global development in law where previous legal non-persons such as different non-human natural entities, non-human animals, fetuses and artificial intelligences have been ascribed, or be
IntroductionInternet-based interventions are called for within rehabilitation to meet the limited access to support for self-management after stroke. Therefore, a new intervention program, “Strategies for Empowering activities in Everyday life” (SEE) was developed. The aim of this study was to explore and describe how clients with stroke and their occupational therapists experienced the SEE intervIntroductionInternet-based interventions are called for within rehabilitation to meet the limited access to support for self-management after stroke.

The role of consumers in a circular economy (CE) is crucial but not well understood in the literature. For consumers to become catalysts in a CE, people need to understand how and under what conditions circular consumption is made possible. This chapter conceptualises the sociomaterial assembling of circular consumption, which refers to the process in which heterogeneous elements – meanings, mater
Background/Aims: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a chronic condition in which patients show a marked increase in heart rate on standing, but also suffer from a range of additional symptoms, which may include fatigue and difficulty in concentration. This study’s aim was to investigate the role of psychological stress, resilience, and lifestyle as possible contributing factors in
Online platforms devoted to investigating criminal cases or mysteries are often seen as reaching outwards to identify suspects, promote punishment, and try to solve cases. Simultaneously, internal interactions between posters motivate them to contribute, even to outdo one another, and so a team spirit emerges.

Världens enklaste kulspetspenna dyker upp tidigt i min intervju med den pensionerade och ytterst erfarne – för att inte säga slipade – försäljaren Rolf. Under hela sitt yrkesliv var han verksam i ett konsultbolag med uppdrag över hela världen. Han arbetade med att sälja tjänster till företag och offentliga institutioner i olika länder, framför allt i Mellanöstern men även i Öst- och Sydeuropa. I d
In health care, the provision of pertinent information to patients is not just a moral imperative but also a legal obligation, often articulated through the lens of obtaining informed consent. Codes of medical ethics and many national laws mandate the disclosure of basic information about diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment alternatives. However, within publicly funded health care systems, other k
While organizations providing critical services to society must have the ability to anticipate and prepare for foreseeable threats, they also need to develop a capacity to adapt in the face of unforeseen challenges and crises. While adaptive capacity becomes manifested in a specific situation through the concrete adaptations carried out by an organization, the preconditions to adapt exist already
Abstract in FrenchLe populisme invoque l’autorité du peuple contre une élite. Souvent, cela implique un rejet de l’autorité des experts et de leurs critères de validité du discours. Cette tension apparaît dans les conflits autour des théories de la conspiration. Est suggéré que cette tension soit considérée comme un conflit entre deux interprétations de la réalité, de phénomènes particuliers ou dePopulism invokes the authority of the people against an élite. Often that entails a rejection of the authority of experts and their criteria for a valid discourse. This tension surfaces in conflicts around conspiracy theories and here is suggested that this tension is seen as a conflict between two interpretations of reality, of particular phenomena or history. The question is what role the philos
Climate change is increasingly affecting human well-being and will inevitably impact on occupational sectors in terms of costs, productivity, workers' health and injuries. Among the cooling garment developed to reduce heat strain, the ventilation jacket could be considered for possible use in workplaces, as it is wearable without limiting the user's mobility and autonomy. In this study, simulation

Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) is a popular technique that can track ultrafast coherent and incoherent processes in real time. Since its development in the late 1990s, 2DES has become a powerful tool for investigating ultrafast dynamics in a range of systems, including nanomaterials and optoelectronic devices. This Primer explains the underlying physical principles of 2DES and how
The spatial prediction of the turbulent flow of the unsteady von Kármán vortex street behind a cylinder at Re = 1000 is studied. For this, an echo state network (ESN) with 6000 neurons was trained on the raw, low-spatial resolution data from particle image velocimetry. During prediction, the ESN is provided one half of the spatial domain of the fluid flow. The task is to infer the missing other ha
