Against the backdrop of Gaza and Europe’s muted response, this essay reflects on Elad Lapidot’s challenge to recognize the violence hidden in the language of peace.

This article serves as an introduction to the special issue on ad hoc concepts and linguistic relativity. We argue that empirical research on linguistic relativity can be re-interpreted through the lens of ad hoc cognition, a framework originating in Barsalou’s (Memory & Cognition, 11, 211–227, 1983) account of goal-derived categories and expanded by Casasanto and Lupyan’s (The conceptual mind

Sammanfattning av Kapitel I Kapitel I är en historisk och vetenskaplig prolog till konceptet Intermittent Strålbehandling med Immunterapi (iRIT) baserad på tidiga försök med kombinationer av strålbehandling på 1980-talet med hypertermi på patienter och 2001 med tumörvaccination vid gliom på råttor. Hypertermi och strålbehandling (1980–1990) visade att effekten av strålbehandling kan förstärkas

With sea-level rise and increasingly frequent extreme weather events threatening communities, ecosystems and built infrastructure alike, climate change adaptation is pressing. This remains true in high-income countries where research capturing power dynamics underpinning adaptation continues to develop with implications for how policy and exclusion can be understood. Through a systematic review, t

För att beviljas asyl måste queera asylsökande inför myndigheterna bevisa att de verkligen är queera. Om de inte gör det avslås deras ansökan som icke trovärdig och de riskerar att utvisas till sina ursprungsländer. I denna avhandling utforskar jag, genom möten med beslutsfattare, jurister, asylsökande och flyktingar, den affektiva produktionen av (o)trovärdig queerness inom det grekiska asylsysteTo be granted asylum, queer applicants must prove to the examining authorities that they are genuinely queer. Otherwise, their claims are rejected as non-credible, placing them at risk of deportation. In this thesis, I explore the affective production of (in)credible queerness in the Greek asylum apparatus. Through encounters with decision-makers, lawyers, asylum seekers, and refugees, I discuss t

Purpose – This study critically examines the claim that blockchain technology (BCT) can create a trustless system in supply chain management (SCM). It explores the nuanced relationship between trust and BCT, offering empirical insights into how trust is shaped when BCT is introduced in sustainability-oriented supply chains. Design/methodology/approach – Adopting a multiple case study approach, the

Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) were introduced as a tool to optimize radiation protection in medical imaging. Conditions for dose assessment have evolved significantly. This study explores how effectively the current DRL system functions and whether it requires adjustment. The analysis focuses on the national DRL system in Sweden and includes European projects and guidelines for reference. The

Wildlife in recreational hunting exists within a complex intersection of economic, ethical, and ecological concerns. Hunting offers personal fulfillment and supports conservation, while also driving a broader market of hunting-related goods and services. Yet, wildlife is often treated as unowned (res nullius) until harvested, leaving its value largely unregulated before capture or death. Yet we sh

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a well-established, evidence-based treatment for common mental disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, treatment outcomes vary widely, and a substantial proportion of patients do not achieve sufficient improvement. Robust predictors of individual differences in symptom change are currently lacking. Gen

Background: Cardiovascular risk factor control reduces the risk of recurrent events after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Long-term post-ACS management is poorly studied. Objectives: To assess frequency of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) monitoring and target achievement during 3 years post-ACS. Methods: Data from all patients hospitalized for ACS in Up

Following Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli military invasion of Gaza, violent hate crimes against Jews and Muslims in Sweden have risen, mirroring a trend seen in many parts of the world. Swedish Jews have reported feeling increasingly unsafe within mainstream society and pressured to distance themselves from the state of Israel. Meanwhile, Jews who openly disapprove of Zionism ha

Review of the documentary film "Psychedelic Psalm"

Gästkrönika. Den samlade forskningen är tydlig – det finns mycket som kan göras för att öka skogens klimatnytta. Det avgörande är att förstärka och värna kolsänkan samt att använda en större del av träråvaran till en ny mix av produkter. Det skriver Markku Rummukainen, professor på centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap vid Lunds universitet. 

This paper outlines the development of the specialist medical physicist role in Sweden. Since introducing certification in 1999, the need for advanced expertise in patient safety, technology, optimization, and regulation became evident. In response, the Swedish Medical Physicist Association and the Swedish Society for Radiation Physics launched a national specialist training program in 2004, furth

Excitons are primary elementary excitations in solids that present both fundamental interest and technological importance, showing great potential for photospintronic and quantum transduction applications. The emerging coherent collective excitations in two-dimensional antiferromagnetic semiconductors raise prospects for spin-exciton interactions and multifield control schemes. However, realizing

BackgroundLeft atrial volume index (LAVI) is associated with recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) during flecainide treatment. Nevertheless, AF patients with normal LAVI experience rhythm control failure. Our study sought to compare the association between left atrial strain and LAVI with rhythm control failure, in flecainide treated patients with AF.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included c

This edited collection offers the first engagement with Werner G. Jeanrond’s theological thinking, spanning from hermeneutics through systematic theology to politics.Available open access and featuring more than twenty renowned scholars with a global reach, this work tackles one of Jeanrond’s key questions: “How can theological thought begin today, in the midst of a confusing plurality of methods?
