Drawing on Swedish data (N = 184) from an international vignette study, this study examines teachers’ reported exposure to bias-based bullying as well as their perceptions and intended responses across four identity domains (ethnicity, academic ability, weight, and gender/sexuality) and school levels (elementary and secondary school). Across most outcomes, teachers’ perceptions were largely consis
The Nordic states frame advances and adoption of AI as vital in addressing a broad range of critical health sector challenges. AI technologies are seen as the best, and often only means, to increase efficiency, reduce costs, improve patient care and address staffing crises. The Nordic health sector considered a prime target for AI adoption. Yet AI’s impact in the sector remains limited, and thebar
The widespread use of AI in society has been heralded as bringing enormous potential for economic growth, scientific advancements and increasing human well-being. At the same time, human rights concerns related to AI has come to the forefront. Many of these concerns touch on familiar and established human rights such as the right to private life, freedom of expression and the right to equality and
Over the past few decades, gesture researchers have shown growing interest in the idea that certain gestural forms are conventionally associated with fairly specific, yet not too narrow, semantic and pragmatic meanings. These gestures are referred to as recurrent gestures and are argued to be grounded in bodily experiences, including instrumental actions and movement patterns. In this paper, we fi
Background and objectives: Treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) is a severe subtype of schizophrenia. While negative and disorganised symptoms have been associated with cognitive dysfunction, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain unclear. Plasma neurofilament light chain protein (NfL), a biomarker of neuroaxonal damage, has shown promising associations in TRS. This study investigates
The development of stable, high-concentration oil-in-water nanoemulsions (NEs) incorporating thyme essential oil (TEO) is hindered by intrinsic instability mechanisms, such as Ostwald ripening, and by challenges in characterizing concentrated, optically complex systems. Here, a rational, inquiry-driven formulation strategy, aligned with Formulation by Design principles, was applied to produce NEs
Oven bags are widely used in cooking to improve food juiciness and flavor while minimizing dishwashing. These bags are commonly manufactured from plastics such as polyamide (PA, nylon) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). However, plastics used in food preparation may release additives, microplastics, or nanoplastics into food during heating, raising potential environmental and health concerns. T
Current research indicates that Virtual Reality (VR) can serve as an effective tool for evaluating and training postural control responses and its processing, to distorted sensory input. The aim was to evaluate posturographic spectral responses and adaptation to repeated visual VR-stimulation in young and older adults with wavelet analysis. Twenty-eight young (mean 25.3 years) and 25 older (mean 7
Background: Adherence to exercise interventions is often suboptimal, despite numerous studies documenting barriers and facilitators. Usability may be a critical yet underexplored determinant of adherence. This study aimed to develop and assess the psychometric properties of the Intervention Usability Scale for Exercise (IUSE). Methods: Item generation and content validation involved cognitive inte
The demand for real-time pulse characterization is becoming increasingly relevant due to the development of high power lasers and a growing number of applications that require precise knowledge of every laser pulse. To meet this demand, a few different single-shot dispersion-scan (d-scan) implementations have emerged over the last decade. In single-shot d-scan, the required dispersion range, i.e.,
BACKGROUND: There are limited data guiding the optimal inflation time for coronary drug-coated balloons. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy of an inflation time of ≥30 seconds compared with <30 seconds.METHODS: We conducted an observational nationwide analysis using the SCAAR (Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry) to identify all patients undergoing percutan
Hur används Gamla testamentet i Svenska kyrkans gudstjänster, undervisning och församlingsliv? Vilka texter lyfts fram, vilka tonas ned – och vilka konsekvenser får det för kyrkans bibelbruk idag?Den levda bibeln samlar aktuell forskning om Gamla testamentets reception i Svenska kyrkan. I bokens artiklar undersöks hur Gamla testamentets texter tolkas, förmedlas och används i allt från evangeliebok
