Dynamic interference is an elusive strong-field effect where photoelectrons from intense laser pulses interfere in time, forming rich kinetic energy patterns. Here, we present the first experimental demonstration of isolated dynamic interference using a novel two-color scheme: chirped laser-assisted dynamic interference. Isolation was achieved with a crossed-polarization setup combining an extreme
There exists a knowledge gap in the literature on how international actors address artificial intelligence (AI) in international sustainability governance. By addressing this gap and bringing a critical perspective, this paper aims to enrich discussions on AI within international relations. First, this paper shows that the development and deployment of AI-based technologies are mainly seen as an o
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being discussed at the international level, with a particular focus on its potential to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Global Digital Compact, adopted at the Summit of the Future, calls for the establishment of international institutions to govern AI technologies. The impact of AI on sustainable development is a multifaceted
Science, technology and innovation (STI) are widely perceived as critical factors for sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda defined STI as the central means of sustainable development. The Sustainable Development Goal 17 has three targets that focus on technology transfer, and the United Nations Technology Facilitation Mechanism was launched to promote multi-stakeholder collaboration. While STI
Youth are one of the nine major groups of civil society for sustainable development formalized by Agenda 21. The Major Group of Children and Youth is an active independent mechanism facilitating youth involvement in the United Nations system. Youth representatives from various organizations increasingly engage in global sustainability politics but face challenges such as financial constraints, tok
Students’ possibilities to interact with peers have reduced drastically during the emergency transition to online teaching due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Students report on decreased motivation and other study related issues; hence, there is a need to better understand the effects of decreased interaction. The aim of the present exploratory study was to document changes in student networks, in rela
Objectives: A cancer diagnosis in children impacts the whole family.This study aims to assess the course and determinants of distress incaregivers of a child with cancer.Methods: Assessments of parental distress were offered to Dutchspeaking caregivers every 6 months as part of a psycho-social monitoringprogram, using the Distress Thermometer for Parents (DT-P). Data wasavailable from august 2015
School-related functional impairment is common in children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, little is known about the characteristics of youth with OCD who struggle in school, whether these struggles interfere with treatment outcomes, and whether treatment improves school-related function. Among 385 youth with OCD at a specialist clinic (mean age [sd] = 13.7 [2.5]
To contribute to the development of effective support for early career researchers during and after doctoral education, the aim of this study was to examine the experiences of the early career transition after affiliation with an interdisciplinary graduate school, using the Swedish National Graduate School on Ageing and Health (SWEAH) as an example. Through qualitative interviews with 18 alumni, t
In the first year after ostomy creation, affected persons require substantial support to manage potential complications and adjust to their new life situation. This study aimed to describe the number of visits to the stoma care nurse, the occurrence of leakage and peristomal skin complications, and the use of ostomy products to prevent these complications among persons consulting a stoma care nurs
Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are often complex and safety-critical, making it both challenging and crucial to ensure that the system's specifications are met. Simulation-based falsification is a practical testing technique for increasing confidence in a CPS's correctness, as it only requires that the system be simulated. Reducing the number of computationally intensive simulations needed for fals
Decolonizing development has animated conferences, grants, and programs for several years, a response to the ineffectiveness of much aid and ongoing colonial legacies. Yet, little attention has gone to the education of development practitioners and its impacts on their professional practices. We lack practical approaches for decolonizing our classrooms, especially approaches based on experiences o
Background: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are critical epigenetic modulators involved in regulating various molecular mechanisms essential for cell development and growth. Alterations in HDAC activity have been linked to the progression of numerous cancers, including lymphoma. Over the past decade, the FDA has approved several HDAC inhibitors for lymphoma treatment, leading to heightened interest i
This chapter examines the relationship between the United Nations (UN) and African troop contributing countries (TCCs). As a continent which has both hosted and contributed to numerous UN peacekeeping missions, Africa has shaped and is shaped by peacekeeping practices. This chapter considers African states' historical presence in UN peacekeeping operations since the 1960s and distinguishes between
