This thesis aims to strengthen the scientific basis for forensic assessments of single stab injuries to the trunk, which have traditionally been based upon professional experience rather than scientifically evaluated evidence. Using nationwide registries maintained by the Swedish National Board of Forensic Medicine, we conducted five studies including both fatalities and survivors of sharp force t
INTRODUCTION: Effective management of chronic breathlessness requires understanding people's activity limitations. This study evaluated the extent to which chronic breathlessness limits people's self-reported everyday activities.METHODS: A web-based, cross-sectional survey (adults ≥18 years). Recruitment was through a marketing research company, stratified to the 2016 Australian Census for key dem
Aims and Objectives/Purpose/Research Questions:Our paper outlines the development of vocabulary proficiency tests for minority languages and addresses the challenges in doing so.Design/Methodology/Approach:The strategies are exemplified based on recently developed tests for Sicilian and Venetan, two large languages in Italy without official status. Users of these types of languages tend to have on
This paper explores how evolutionary epistemology can offer insights into the discussion of naturalization of epistemology and normativity. Living organisms have an inherent disposition to continue living – i.e., staying in homeostasis – which they accomplish through an anticipatory regulatory process called allostasis. Organisms only survive under certain conditions, and so their actions and pred
Abstract in Chinese:摘要在中国食品生产与消费趋势呈现多重矛盾的背景下, 考察推广特定饮食方式 (如植物性饮食) 的个体与群体, 有助于深化对民间社会在可持续转型中所扮演角色的理解。本文采用结合数字食物研究与实地民族志的研究方法, 聚焦当代中国的“饮食公众” (dietary publics) 及其话语实践与动员机制的交织互动, 并从教育, 文化, 探索与创新四个倡议维度展开分析。研究发现, 不同类型的行动者正在以“植物领先运动” (Plant-forward Movement) 的框架下形成多元联盟。该运动虽以全植物性饮食为核心, 同时也涵盖蛋奶素与弹性素食等实践形态。这些行动者在中国的“绿色公共领域” (Green Public Sphere) 中占据独特位置, 展现出推动社会向更绿色饮食与生活方式转型的潜在动能与意义。A growing body of research has examined the rise of civil society efforts to green China’s food system, and this article contributes to such discussions by examining the case of plant-based food and lifestyle advocacy. Amid emerging paradoxes in China’s food production and consumption trends, examining individuals and groups who promote distinct diets such as veganism offers new insights into civi
Over four decades, Indigenous Sámi individuals and communities have submitted to United Nations human rights treaty bodies, including the Human Rights Committee, several complaints in respect of the three Nordic countries Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Many of these Sámi rights cases have made important contributions to the understanding and application of Indigenous peoples’ rights globally, in add
Remembering everyday events involves noticing what different experiences share and preserving the details that set them apart, yet the neural processes supporting this balance remain unclear. Here, we record EEG while participants view naturalistic movie scenes that introduce episodic events with overlapping elements. Using time-resolved representational similarity analysis, we find that these eve
This chapter deals with ways in which digital technologies can be utilized to work with moving media in hybrid ways. I will shortly present a practice of what I call probing. It is an extended, evocative, and open-ended process of art making and research. I will present a selection of projects that explore notions of noise, blend modes, and live cinema. I will discuss notions of noise, the provisi

In this work, we study the problem of estimating the in-ear sound field using microphone measurements at nearby positions. Typically, the sound field is first interpolated to the position of the head under free-field assumptions, followed by filtering through pre-measured head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). While properties of free-field interpolation methods have been well studied with respe
The chapter treats bronze casting in antiquity. It provides an overview of the development of the technique and its use for different object groups. The chapter focuses on the casting of bronze statues, the processes involved and the possibility of the medium.
Mapping spatial variability of bioavailable strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) is fundamental to robust analyses of prehistoric human and animal mobility and provenance based on strontium isotope data. A key challenge is how to construct and extrapolate a baseline for specific landscapes to enable meaningful correlation with high-resolution archaeological data. This study presents a regional high-reso
