This issue of Journal of Scandinavian Cinema demonstrates the methodological diversity characterizing contemporary cinema scholarship. Four contributions span from the archival reconstruction of a lost Swedish children’s film and a documentary on Bronze Age artworks to theoretical analyses of irony and environmentalim in Icelandic cinema and Finnish production paradoxes. Together, they reveal how

Background: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an increasingly recognised condition in children and adolescents. However, there is limited knowledge about the different paediatric patch test procedures in European patch test clinics. Objectives: To map current European paediatric patch test practices, and to relate these to the existing literature, with the aim of guiding the development of a fu

In an internet age when a viral sensationalist story gains far more traction than a nuanced and balanced discussion, we have become used to some politicians, media and web-based influencers bending the truth to create a misguided or distorted narrative that many people unquestioningly believe. This should never happen in science, but even here standards are sadly deteriorating. In my editorial I w

Based on data obtained with the Eurogam spectrometer, a systematic investigation of superdeformed bands built on single neutron excitations across the N = 86 shell gap has been carried out for gadolinium, terbium, and dysprosium isotopes with 85 ≤ N ≤ 87. In each nucleus, pairs of bands corresponding to degenerate signature partners have been observed. The effective alignment is constant and close

The model of technological cognition presented by Federico et al. does not specify how information is processed in and between the different hubs. Following Cisek’s proposal for an ‘ecological’ perspective on cognition, I discuss the role of affordances in action specification and action selection. Artifacts afford a multitude of action, but most of them must be learned. This involves learning new

Rapporten analyserar internationella erfarenheter av alternativa modeller för finansiering och organisering av transportinfrastruktur i ett urval av länder som liknar Sverige i institutionellt och geografiskt hänseende. Fokus ligger på offentlig–privat samverkan (OPS) och statliga projektbolag. Syftet är att identifiera vilka institutionella, ekonomiska och organisatoriska faktorer som påverkar ut

We argue that the subject matter and objectives of risk science establish it as an inherently interdisciplinary field, closely connected to both academic disciplines and practical applications. However, risk research faces a range of interdisciplinary challenges. These include the production of low-quality research—characterised by superficial and insufficiently grounded conclusions—a lack of mutu

While the development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in health care have literally exploded in recent years, general practitioners (GPs) continue to struggle with a fragmented health care system and complex patients with multiple conditions and increasing care needs. An ageing population, task shifting from secondary care to ambulatory services without adequate resource allocation, and po

Objectives: To examine (1) the relationship between anthropometric measurements and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) diameter; (2) whether thin RLNs have different baseline electromyographic (EMG) characteristics; (3) if thin or branched morphology is associated with increased risk of EMG adverse events, loss of signal (LOS) or vocal cord paresis/paralysis (VCP). Methods: In this prospective study,

Background and Aims: Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is the standard treatment for noninvasive ampullary lesions (ALs), whereas advanced cases require surgery. Managing ALs is challenging and may lead to over- or undertreatment. We developed a score to identify the best candidates for endoscopic or surgical treatment. Methods: We analyzed 447 patients who underwent EP. The cohort was randomly split i

This paper contains an identification key and descriptions in Swedish to the species of Caloplaca s. lat. currently known from theNordic countries.

This study examines patterns of religiosity in contemporary Sweden by analysing the 2018 wave of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) using latent class analysis (LCA). The study contributes to ongoing debates on secularisation, fuzzy fidelity, and the spiritual revolution by identifying different orientations of (non-)religiosity in the Swedish context. The results reveal a consistent

This study examines the linguistic characteristics of the speech of female villains in Japanese fictional dialogue, with the aim of determining whether female villains employ a distinct role language or yakuwarigo, that is, a distinct speech style that indexes characterization based on social stereotypes. An original, small-scale corpus was constructed consisting of dialogue from female villains,
