This national report shows that Swedish contract law is structured around a historically layered and theoretically contested conception of contractual fairness. Classical doctrine associated fairness with voluntariness and legal certainty within a formally liberal model centred on pacta sunt servanda. Developments connected to the welfare state, crystallised in Section 36 of the Contracts Act (191
Prenatal air pollution exposure has been associated with impaired fetal growth. However, the underlying biological mechanisms, potentially involving the placenta, remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal air pollution exposure on placental biomarkers of oxidative stress and cellular ageing, and to determine whether these biomarkers contribute to the associa
Health is widely recognized as shaped by social and structural conditions, yet time remains largely absent from dominant public health frameworks. This paper brings together sociological and epidemiological perspectives to argue that time is a fundamental dimension of health that has been insufficiently articulated. Rather than proposing a new determinant, it reframes time as an essential conditio
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of diffuse parenchymal lung disorders associated with progressive fibrosis, impaired gas exchange, and substantial morbidity. In recent years, the coexistence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in ILD has emerged as an underrecognized yet clinically meaningful overlap. Evidence indicates that OSA is highly prevalent in ILD—even among n
Jaynes–Cummings Hamiltonian provides the elemental description of a two-level system interacting with a photonic mode. In this work, we review the Jaynes–Cummings formalism for an electronic two-level system. The purpose is to summarize and connect together the key theory concepts relevant for the transmission response probed typically in the experiments. The review provides a photonic mode descri
Lead-halide perovskites are a promising material platform as semiconductors in next-generation solar cells because of their solution processability, defect tolerance, and tunable optoelectronic properties. Mixed iodide–bromide perovskite compositions are attractive as wide-bandgap absorbers but suffer from significant operational instabilities. Incorporation of chloride to form triple-halide perov
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes classified into the auxiliary activity (AA) families of the CAZy database. They oxidatively cleave glycosidic bonds in recalcitrant polysaccharides, playing a key role in biomass degradation and contributing to the virulence of some pathogens. The redox state of the active-site copper and its coordination geometry are central
Objectives: To evaluate quality of life, patient-reported outcomes, and survivorship after different nodal staging strategies in endometrial cancer, with a focus on lower-extremity lymphedema after sentinel lymph node mapping versus lymphadenectomy. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist. M
Historical peatland drainage resulted in surface subsidence and reduced water storage capacity (WSC), a process that can be exacerbated by climate change. We assessed the effects of rewetting on WSC using mesocosm experiments in climate chambers, field measurements, and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) analysis. Results showed that rewetting significantly increased WSC under both p
Construction sites remain a sparse source of digital information, even though up-to-date knowledge of site conditions underpin planning, progress control, and safety. This paper contributes a field-grounded roadmap toward frequent robotic digitalization of construction sites. It shifts attention from robotic capture capability to the capture-to-consumption chain required for operational use and tr
Here, I examine how the Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (Special Jurisdiction for Peace; JEP) in Colombia has developed innovative legal approaches to address environmental harm in armed conflict, including by recognizing Indigenous and Afro-Colombian territories as victims. I argue that the JEP demonstrates how international law can be reinterpreted through legal pluralism and, when read throug
Integrating wastewater treatment with energy recovery and aquifer recharge provides a pragmatic approach to alleviating water scarcity while reducing energy consumption and emissions. Across the Middle East, utilities are pairing treatment trains with biogas and heat recovery, and channeling fit-for-purpose effluent into groundwater replenishment strategies that improve water security and stabiliz
Nonlinear resistance during intrusion into solid-like granular matter remains an open problem, challenging the linear drag paradigm underlying widely used models such as Resistive Force Theory (RFT). Here we combine DEM simulations, experiments, and theoretical analysis to uncover the physical origin of this nonlinear response and establish a quantitative theory for its full evolution. We show tha
This chapter examines the intersection of antitrust/competition law and climate change. It aims to strike a balance between antitrust purists, who emphasise economic efficiency and consumer welfare, and climate advocates, who underscore the profound challenges confronting humanity. It argues that antitrust’s consumer welfare standard can be adapted to accommodate climate change sustainability conc
Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a transdiagnostic symptom associated with substantial clinical burden and increased risk of suicidal behavior. Although NSSI occurs across a wide range of psychiatric disorders, research has consistently linked it to maladaptive personality traits. However, most studies have compared individuals with NSSI to healthy controls, limiting our understandin
