A holistic concept on AI assistance for robot-supported reconnaissance and mitigation of acute radiation hazard situations

Hazardous situations involving radioactive, chemical, and other dangerous materials pose significant risks to emergency responders. In such situations, robots can support civil forces in reconnaissance and mitigation. However, this requires the development of robotic systems with novel AI-based assistance functions, operation procedures, and raises new ethical and legal questions. To address these

Bridging available as preprint version on arxiv: the gap between learning-to-plan, motion primitives and safe reinforcement learning

Trajectory planning under kinodynamic constraints is fundamental for advanced robotics applications that require dexterous, reactive, and rapid skills in complex environments. These constraints, which may represent task, safety, or actuator limitations, are essential for ensuring the proper functioning of robotic platforms and preventing unexpected behaviors. Recent advances in kinodynamic plannin

Turning rural knowledge into “nothing” or “something”

From the perspective of the Swedish education system, rural knowledge does not seem to be particularly important. Many young people in rural areas have deep and important knowledge that is invisible in school and during school time, both to teachers and to the young people themselves. This paper examines knowledge used in agriculture and animal husbandry, a type of knowledge that is particularly uFrom the perspective of the Swedish education system, rural knowledge does not seem to be particularly important.

‘Everyone is welcome’? Exploring social inclusion challenges in Alternative Food Networks: Insights from Community Supported Agriculture in Southern Germany

Alternative food networks are increasingly promoted in policy, academic, and civil society discourses as pathways to sustainable and socially just food systems. However, their demographic homogeneity raises questions about their capacity to foster social inclusion. This study explores how Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) initiatives in Southern Germany navigate tensions between solidaritybase

Corporate climate-related disclosure in China: Focus, alignment, gaps and rationales behind

Corporations now face dual pressures from climate change: the financial vulnerability and environmental accountability. As a response, corporate climate-related disclosure has evolved from voluntary sustainability pledges to a regulatory and market necessity in many regions including the Mainland China. This study explores climate-related disclosure behaviors and underlying motivations of Chinese

Through connection to sustainability - the role of connection, as a transformative quality in Gyűrűfű ecovillage

Climate change and environmental degradation are some of the most pressing crises of our time, however action is lacking. In order to create system transformation, the inner dimensions of sustainability need to be addressed: values, worldviews and qualities on an individual, collective and system level. Ecovillages seem to be spaces where the integration of internal and external sustainability occ

Resilience in the cold: How Artificial Glaciers influence social resilience in Ladakh

Glacier retreat driven by climate change has created intense water scarcity in Ladakh, India, threatening both the local agriculture and livelihoods. In response, Artificial Glaciers (AGs) have emerged as an adaptive strategy. This study examines the role of AGs in enhancing social resilience in the villages of Ursi and Igoo using the Six Attributes of Social Resilience framework. A mixed-methods

Effekten av “motionsterapi” på fysisk funktion hos patienter med total höftplastik – en systematisk litteraturstudie

Bakgrund: Total höftplastik (THA) anses vara en effektiv behandling vid höftartros som förväntas resultera i minskad smärta och återställd funktion. Trots att många patienter får goda resultat, upplever en del en kvarstående smärta och funktionsnedsättning efter operationen. Rehabiliteringen efter THA varierar stort mellan olika vårdgivare och det finns en avsaknad av nationella riktlinjer för reh

Kartläggning av fysioterapeutiska behandlingsmetoder eller någon form av fysiska kroppsterapier hos patienter med anorexia nervosa eller bulimia nervosa diagnos - en litteraturstudie

Bakgrund: Ätstörningar, särskilt de två vanliga typerna, anorexia nervosa och bulimia nervosa, är komplexa och svårbehandlade sjukdomar med höga återfallsfrekvenser. De vanligaste behandlingarna består av psykologiska insatser och medicinering. Som en tilläggsbehandling inkluderas fysioterapeutinsatser. Anorexia nervosa och bulimia nervosa har en multifaktoriell orsak och den höga återfallsfrekven

Hjärnskakningar i idrotten: En enkätstudie om prevalens och hantering i innebandy- och ishockeyföreningar i västra Skåne

Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning om idrottsrelaterade hjärnskakningar och rehabilitering inom innebandy och ishockey är begränsad. Eventuella skillnader mellan dessa idrotter har ännu inte undersökts. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga förekomsten av idrottsrelaterade hjärnskakningar samt undersöka rehabiliteringsmetoder hos spelare i utvalda innebandy- och ishockeyföreningar i Skåne.

Förändring av självupplevd smärta och livskvalitet efter grundbehandling för personer med handartros - en retrospektiv kvantitativ registerstudie

Bakgrund Handartros är en mycket vanlig sjukdom som drabbar stora delar av den äldre befolkningen, varav majoriteten av de drabbade är kvinnor. Handartros kan bland annat ge symptom så som smärta, stelhet, nedsatt funktion och påverkad hälsorelaterad livskvalitet. Grundbehandlingen i Sverige för dessa symptom är information, träning och om det är relevant, viktnedgång. Få studier har dock hittills

En kartläggning och jämförelse av sambandet mellan fysisk aktivitet och sömn i olika populationer - en kvantitativ enkätstudie

Bakgrund: Studier har visat att regelbunden fysisk aktivitet har god effekt på sömnen. Det finns även forskning som tyder på att detta samband kan skilja sig beroende på kön och ålder. Det saknas dock studier som jämför sambandet i grupper med olika sysselsättningar. Vidare saknas det studier i en svensk kontext som undersöker sambandet, hur det skiljer sig mellan; män och kvinnor, olika åldersgru

Visuo-Locomotive Update in the Wild The Role of (Un)Familiarity in Choice of Navigation Strategy, and its Application in Computational Spatial Design

We study active human visuo-locomotive experience in everyday navigation from the viewpoints of environmental familiarity, embodied reorientation, and (sensorimotor) spatial update. Following a naturalistic, in situ, embodied multimodal behaviour analysis method, we conclude that familiar users rely on environmental cues as a navigation-aid and exhibit proactive decision-making, whereas unfamiliar
