This article presents preliminary findings from a design ethnographic study examining pelvic floor care practices from the perspective of patients with pelvic floor injuries caused by birth treated at the continence clinic in Sundsvall's Hospital, Sweden. The aim is to enhance our understanding of women's experiences of pelvic floor injury, provide insights into living with pelvic floor injury, an

We derive analytical expressions to describe how light is frequency-shifted when interacting with ultrasound within scattering media, due to the modulation of the refractive index induced by the ultrasound pressure waves. The model is validated through Monte Carlo simulations, works for high ultrasound pressures, and allows for many simultaneous ultrasound waves or frequency components, which is i

This paper introduces a work-in-progress devoted to analysing the architectural design, public-performative functionality, and cultural-political semiotics of the Safra Square (ספרא כיכר, Kikar Safra) and City Hall complex, Western Jerusalem. Built around the historic Town Hall of the British Governate, and inaugurated in 1993, the City Hall complex is strategically located along the bustling pede

Driven av en kärnnyfikenhet på förändringens och förändringssökandets politiska psykologi i motsats till kontinuitet och status quo-upprätthållande i världspolitiken, åtar sig denna avhandling att undersöka den ontologiska dynamiken och de psykiska drivkrafterna bakom revisionistiskt beteende i internationella relationer (IR). Genom att identifiera sig med en konstruktivistisk tendens till "konstiDriven by a core curiosity about the political psychology of change and change-seeking as opposed to continuity and status quo-keeping in world politics, this thesis undertakes to investigate the ontological dynamics and psychic drivers of revisionist behavior in International Relations (IR). Identifying with a constructivist tendency for “constitutive theorizing,” it deploys—and in so doing, theo

We investigate the role of visuospatial environmental cues on driver (in)attention in everyday naturalistic driving situations. We develop a cognitive model of visuospatial complexity incorporating two critical aspects influencing visual (in)attention: (1) multimodal interaction mechanisms such as gesture, joint attention amongst roadside stakeholders (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists, drivers); and (2)

I december 2023 dömde Patent- och marknadsöverdomstolen (PMÖD) i det så kallade Betssonmålet, där ett avtal mellan en spelberoende privatperson, P.L., och spelbolaget Betsson ogiltigförklarades med stöd av 33 § avtalslagen. Domen har skakat om spelbranschen och väcker frågor kring hur ondtros­kravet och termerna tro och heder ska tolkas i dagens digitala samhälle. Med utgångspunkt i svensk och dan

Spatial (memory) update strategies depend on situational factors, such as availability of external information, familiarity with the environment, and cognitive demand. Of key interest to this research is the multimodal integration of environmental and individual characteristics in visuospatial update and reorientation in situations of extensive (embodied) rotational locomotion in naturalistic cond

We position recent and emerging research in cognitive vision and perception addressing three key questions: (1) What kind of relational abstraction mechanisms are needed to perform (explainable) grounded inference --e.g., question-answering, qualitative generalisation, hypothetical reasoning-- relevant to embodied multimodal interaction? (2) How can such abstraction mechanisms be founded on behavi

Hydrogen has emerged as a potential enabler for reducing emissions in the transport sector. To fully harness its potential, stakeholders must adapt their business models to accommodate future business conditions. In our study, we focused on the Swedish road transportation sector and analyzed potential future conditions that will likely impact business models up to 2045. We outlined existing busine

This article compares the policy and collective bargaining responses in the three Scandinavian countries to the cost-of-living crisis that began in 2021. The countries are known for their coordinated and consensual response to exogenous shocks. However, Scandinavian variants of neoliberal reforms, the 2009 Financial Crisis and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic have challenged the model. The co
