Is the city planned and built for me? : citizens’ experiences of inclusion, exclusion and (un)equal living conditions in the built environment

This paper is based on a study where four go-along interviews with a total of sixteen participants were conducted in three Swedish cities. The purpose of this study was to find out how different aspects and qualities of the built environment affected different persons in terms of experiences of inclusion and exclusion and strategies used to deal with obstacles in the environment. The study highlig

On Modeling and Detecting Trojans in Instruction Sets

Amid growing concerns about hardware security, comprehensive security testing has become essential for chip certification. This paper proposes a deep-testing method for identifying Trojans of particular concern to middle-to-high-end users, with a focus on illegal instructions. A hidden instruction Trojan can employ a low-probability sequence of normal instructions as a boot sequence, which is foll

Contradictions at work: Navigating relational autonomy and caste in Delhi, India

Ethnographic insights into people’s working lives can help us envision social policy to build dignified workspaces. This article explores the interlinkages between work and social protection, by drawing attention to two dimensions of pheriwale’s everyday working lives: first, how they relate to their work, and second, how they are situated within the Indian welfare context. Pheriwale are a group o

An exploratory open-label multicentre phase I/II trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of postnatal or prenatal and postnatal administration of allogeneic expanded fetal mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of severe osteogenesis imperfecta in infants and fetuses: the BOOSTB4 trial protocol

Introduction Severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a debilitating disease with no cure or sufficiently effective treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have good safety profile, show promising effects and can form bone. The Boost Brittle Bones Before Birth (BOOSTB4) trial evaluates administration of allogeneic expanded human first trimester fetal liver MSCs (BOOST cells) for OI type 3 or severe

Embedded Tutorial: Access to On-chip Instruments via Functional Ports

Semiconductor technology constantly advances, enabling integrated circuits (ICs) with increasingly numerous, faster, and smaller transistors. While this progress offers many benefits, it also presents new challenges, such as tighter margins, wear-outs, and process variations. To effectively tackle these challenges, the conventional approach of using external test instruments during manufacturing t

TFET Circuit Configurations Operating below 60 mV/dec

Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (TFETs) offer more energy efficient alternative to CMOS for design of low power circuits. In spite of this potential, circuits based on TFETs have not been experimentally demonstrated so far. In this letter, we explore TFET fabrication and basic functionality of n-TFET based circuits in the following configurations: a current mirror, a diode-connected inverter, and

Reaction: Circular Chemical Imaginaries

It is irrefutable that the material value chains of the modern economy need to become more circular to mitigate not only climate change but also biodiversity loss and pollution associated with increasing use of natural resources. Contributions to these impacts, known as the triple planetary crisis, occur at all stages of product value chains, from primary production to use stages and ineffective e

Responsibility before freedom : closing the responsibility gaps for autonomous machines

The introduction of autonomous machines (AMs) in human domains has raised challenging questions about the attribution of responsibility; referred to as the responsibility gap. In this paper, we address the gap by arguing that entities should not be granted the freedom of action unless they can also recognise the same right for others—and be subject to blame or punishment in cases of undermining th

Study of nonstandard interactions mediated by a scalar field at the ESSnuSB experiment

In this paper, we study scalar mediator induced nonstandard interactions (SNSIs) in the context of the ESSnuSB experiment. In particular, we study the capability of ESSnuSB to put bounds on the SNSI parameters and also study the impact of SNSIs in the measurement of the leptonic CP phase δCP. Existence of SNSIs modifies the neutrino mass matrix and this modification can be expressed in terms of th

Nanocrystal Assemblies : Current Advances and Open Problems

We explore the potential of nanocrystals (a term used equivalently to nanoparticles) as building blocks for nanomaterials, and the current advances and open challenges for fundamental science developments and applications. Nanocrystal assemblies are inherently multiscale, and the generation of revolutionary material properties requires a precise understanding of the relationship between structure

Barriers to integrating sustainable stormwater management in urban environments in Sweden

Economic, knowledge-based, legislative, organizational, and political barriers hinder the efficient implementation of sustainable stormwater management in Sweden.A comprehensive approach involving legislative clarity, improved financial models, enhanced collaboration, and a shift in political priorities towards blue-green infrastructure is needed.Balancing urban development with urban green spaces

Svensk diplomati biter inte på den iranska regimen

Swedish media, using Mossad documents, revealed that criminal networks in Sweden collaborate with Iran's regime. Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer confirmed Iran's use of criminals for violent acts. Since 1979, Iran has destabilized regions via its intelligence and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Earlier this year, IRGC members plotted to kill Swedish Jews. The Security Police view Ir

The Paradox of Elites in Civil Society : A Comparative Study on Civil Society Leaders’ Satisfaction with Democracy in the UK and Sweden

The presence of an elite group in civil society elicits a discursive friction between the long-standing normative understanding of civil society, acting as a check on government overreach and autocratic tendencies, and elite theories. Robert Michels’s iron law of oligarchy posits that as individuals rise in the ranks to become organizational leaders, they begin to take on elite attributes, and the
