Little is known about how heritage speakers (HS s) and first-generation migrants perceive global accents, including those of their own peers. Our study compares the accent perception of 107 Italian-speaking individuals belonging to three groups: HS s, migrants, and homeland controls. These three groups rated speech samples from second language learners (L2ers), homeland speakers, and other HS s. T

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to adapt the Short Digital Stress Scale (SDSS) into Turkish and to evaluate its psychometric properties in an adult population. Digital stress has become increasingly relevant with the widespread and continuous use of digital technologies, highlighting the need for valid and reliable instruments across cultural contexts.METHODS: A total of 276 adults (72.8% female, 2

I denna rapport presenteras resultat och åtgärdsförslag som syftar till att ge rektorer goda förutsättningar att bedriva ett hållbart skolledarskap d.v.s. ett ledarskap som utgår från förskolans och skolans huvuduppgift (det vill säga barns och elevers lärande), har ett långt tidsperspektiv, sprids i organisationen, använder mänskliga och materiella resurser med eftertanke (inklusive rektors egen

This book explores the meaning, practice, and significance of child participation as a fundamental human right and a cornerstone for building sustainable, democratic societies. Anchored in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, it examines how children’s voices can be genuinely heard, respected, and acted upon across different contexts. Through interdisciplinary contributions from the Nordi

Shallow lakes worldwide face escalating pressures from eutrophication and climate change, yet comprehensive monitoring of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) spatiotemporal dynamics remains challenging due to the high costs and logistical constraints of traditional sampling approaches across large, heterogeneous water bodies. Lake Balaton, a large shallow lake system (80 km long, 7 km wide, 3.7 m mean depth) in

The growing complexity of urban energy systems, climate uncertainties, and geopolitical disruptions highlight the need for energy flexibility and smart management. Recent developments in smart buildings enable real-time adaptability and collective energy behavior through the deployment of Reinforcement Learning (RL), which optimizes energy use, integrates distributed resources, and enhances demand

The electromagnetic performance of the soft magnetic core in manufactured electric machines is known to deviate significantly from datasheet values for the material used in the core. We quantify the discrepancy in permeability and losses between datasheet and physical units by calculating build factors for a typical hairpin IPM traction machine design. The derived build factors for losses are typi
