Quantum interference (QI) can strongly affect electric and thermoelectric properties of molecular junctions (MJs). So far, however, a limited number of experimental studies have explored the influence of QI on thermoelectric transport in MJs. To address this open point, we synthesized derivatives of meta-OPE3 with an electron-withdrawing nitro (-NO2) substituent or an electron-donating N,N-dimethy

Strategic critical minerals are essential materials that will dominate the energy transition and technological revolution. In the context of global climate change and industrial transformation, the geopolitical phenomenon of major powers competing for critical minerals has rapidly emerged, yet relevant research remains relatively limited. Therefore, this paper aims to summarize the geopolitical re

Purpose: Tricuspid valve flow velocities are challenging to measure with cardiovascular MR, as the rapidly moving valvular plane prohibits direct flow evaluation, but they are vitally important to diastolic function evaluation. We developed an automated valve-tracking 2D method for measuring flow through the dynamic tricuspid valve. Methods: Nine healthy subjects and 2 patients were imaged. The ap

This is an undeniable fact now that wireless systems pervade all aspects of our lives. These systems are evolving at a rapid clip, connecting more people and devices every single day that goes by. This growth is further fueled by the users’ insatiable appetite for more traffic, be it for online gaming, watching high-fidelity video, downloading huge files, live- streaming and many more uses. With t

This study explores affective encounters in retail marketplaces, illustrating how our researcher-consumer bodies experience and shape extended consumption spaces. Drawing on ethnographic observations in Sweden and the lenses of affect theory, it unveils how these spaces manifest affective disposition, disorientation, and distress, expanding our understanding of bodily-affective inclusion and exclu

This Discussion Paper aims to inform the Escazu Agreement’s (EA) Regional Action Plan on human rights defenders in environmental matters in Latin America and the Caribbean (Regional Action Plan).While most of the attention on defenders is placed in protecting them due to the risks that they face of being threatened or even assassinated, we argue that it is equally important to a) generate knowledg

BackgroundThere is a knowledge gap regarding health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in childhood cancer patients below 2 years of age. The aim of this study was therefore to compare HRQOL of young children during and after treatment for cancer, to healthy controls, and to investigate effects of biopsychosocial factors.ProcedureThe study is based on data from an online monitoring program. Parent-pr

This thesis aims to investigate the interaction between complex morphology and complex phonology in the languages of the Caucasus. The Caucasus is well-known for containing languages with exceptionally large case systems and complex polysynthetic verbal morphology, which is paired with some of the largest consonant inventories in the world outside Africa. The study focuses specifically on nominal

We usually mean what we say, but sometimes we do not. When I ironically utter ‘What lovely weather’ on a rainy day, or mistakenly utter ‘Jim is a barn door’ instead of ‘Jim is a darn bore’, I say one thing and mean another. However, although utterances like these are not uncommon, they are greatly overshadowed by the volume of humdrum utterances of ‘There is wine in the fridge’ or ‘I really like n

Recension av David Van Reybrouck, Revolusi. Natur och Kultur, 2024.

Karin Zackari, universitetslektor i mänskliga rättigheter, visar i sina tillbakablickar att även om universalismen framstår som det svagaste argumentet i samtidens politik, så finns det ett akut behov av en politisk universalism som kommer till uttryck genom konflikter och handlingar. Zackari fokuserar särskilt på den franska filosofen Étienne Balibars intervention i debatten om universalismens mö

Anthropologists of policy have tended to highlight the grand organizational initiatives that are quantitative, standardized and bureaucratic. This article proposes to understand these processes using the term ‘industry’ (as in ‘development industry’ or ‘human rights industry’). Used here, ‘industry’ is not a pejorative but a collection of features, the opposite of which could be called ‘craft’ (lo

Det råder en ideologisk strid om akademin, där forskning och undervisning attackeras för politisk vinning. Den striden ställs på sin spets genom palestinafrågan. Kunskap om just Palestina verkar vara undantagen den fria akademiska diskussionen.

Higher-achieving peers have repeatedly been found to negatively impact students' evaluations of their own academic abilities (i.e., Big-Fish-Little-Pond Effect). Building on social comparison theory, this pattern is assumed to result from students comparing themselves to their classmates; however, based on existing research designs, it remains unclear how exactly students make use of social compar
