This chapter discusses the role of placed-based relational entanglements in disasters and argues that relations play an important part in shaping how disasters unfold. Exploring the case of mining induced displacement in Sweden’s Malmfälten region – where two cities, Kiruna and Malmberget, and several villages are being moved or razed to make way for expanding mines – the chapter demonstrates how

For many children, their home is where they first encounter digital media technologies. The aim of this study is to investigate how children 0 – 3 years old engage in digital media. We address digital literacies as a sociocultural mindset and a toolbox with attention to skills and comprehensions as well as how children express their agency. The overall research question is: What skills, comprehens

AimsAdipose tissue distribution, metabolism, and expansion capacity exhibit notable sex- and depot-specific differences. Herein, we monitored adipocyte traits related to insulin responsiveness and glucose transport during adipose expansion in visceral and subcutaneous fat from male and female mice.Material and methodsAdipocytes were isolated from perigonadal and inguinal adipose tissue of chow-fed

ABSTRACT Intact insulin signaling and glucose transport in adipocytes are crucial to maintaining whole-body energy metabolism. Focal adhesion kinase stands as a central intracellular protein facilitating signaling between the extracellular matrix and the cytoplasm, thereby regulating cellular metabolism. Here, we have investigated the role of focal adhesion kinase in adipocyte glucose transport us

Background Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) plasma levels are associated with increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objectives This study aimed to determine the thrombotic risk of rare and common variants of 27 genes linked to VWF or FVIII plasma levels in genome-wide association studies. Methods Exon sequences of 27 genes linked to plasma levels of VWF or

Policy institutes such as central banks need accurate forecasts of key measures of economic activity to design stabilization policies that reduce the severity of economic fluctuations. Therefore, this paper develops a kernel ridge regression estimator in a mixed data sampling framework. Kernel ridge regression can handle many predictors with a nonlinear relationship to the target variable. Consequ

Elnätet står inför stora utmaningar de kommande åren med frågor såsom decentraliserad produktion, planerad nybyggnation och ett mer elektrifierat samhälle. Detta lyfter frågan om vad som kan göras idag för att använda elnätet mer effektivt och med vilka metoder elnätsbolag kan bedöma hur mycket kapacitet som finns tillgänglig i nätet. Arbetet bygger på kunddata från ca 4 500 kunder under en fördel\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract} \section*{\Large \textbf{Abstract}} The power grid needs to develop substantially the next few years to accommodate decentralized production, planned expansions and a more electricity dependent society. This raises the question of what can be done today to use the existing grid more efficiently and which methods the distribution system operator (DSO) can

Denna studie undersöker hur svenska företag i ett tidigt skede tolkar AI Act i relation till GDPR:s princip om dataminimering. Genom en kvalitativ ansats med intervjuer identifieras en utbredd osäkerhet kring tolkningen och implementeringen av AI Act:s krav, särskilt i kombination med GDPR:s etablerade regelverk. AI Act:s riskbaserade struktur ställer nya krav på datastyrning, transparens och doku

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are becoming increasingly important for storing energy, particularly renewable energy, and stabilizing electricity grids. These systems often use lithium-ion batteries, which are efficient but pose risks during accidents. Rapid implementation of BESS has led to uncertainties in regulations and emergency response protocols. This thesis aims to identify and eval

Examensarbetets syfte är att undersöka användandet av didaktiska metoder för att påverka gruppdynamik i undervisning i högstadiet inom matematik respektive musik. Frågeställningarna handlar om vilka sådana metoder som används och hur erfarenheten skiljer sig mellan lärare inom de två olika skolämnena. Två matematiklärare och två musiklärare har intervjuats – individuellt. Datan har bearbetats enli

Aquaglyceroporins are channels that facilitate the flux of glycerol and water across lipid bilayers. Although structural information is available for several aquaglyceroporins, the details of how water and glycerol selectivity are maintained and how protons are excluded remain elusive. An approach to obtaining data on the hydrogen atom positions is to apply neutron macromolecular crystallography.

I takt med att artificiell intelligens (AI) får en allt större roll inom offentlig förvaltning och rättsväsende väcks frågor om hur teknikens användning för-håller sig till grundläggande rättssäkerhetsprinciper. Denna uppsats granskar hur domstolars och myndigheters motiveringsskyldighet enligt artikel 6 i Europakonventionen påverkas när generativ AI används som stöd vid besluts-fattande i civilräAs artificial intelligence (AI) assumes an increasingly significant role in public administration and the judiciary, questions arise regarding how its use aligns with fundamental principles of legal certainty and the rule of law. This thesis examines how courts’ and public authorities’ duty to provide reasoned deci-sions under Article 6 of the European Convention is affected when generative AI is

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as important mediators of cancer metastasis, especially in the establishment of organ-specific metastatic niches. These membranous vesicles secreted by tumor cells release diverse bioactive cargo, including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, thereby allowing for intercellular communication and microenvironment modulation. Recent evidence demonstr

Artificiell intelligens omvandlar i allt högre grad organisationskommunikation genom att omforma uppgifter och interaktioner som tidigare hanterats av människor, vilket leder till strategiska förändringar i rekryteringsarbetet. Den här studien utforskar hur medarbetare inom rekrytering och marknadsföring skapar mening kring AI:s betydelse, särskilt i relation till kommunikationsprocesser, employerArtificial intelligence is increasingly transforming organizational communication by reshaping tasks and interactions once managed by humans, prompting strategic shifts in recruitment workflows. This study explores how employees in recruitment and marketing make sense of AI’s significance, particularly in relation to communication processes, employer branding and professional identity. Through an

Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån mitt empiriska material kartlägga och beskriva hur föräldrar till barn intagna på särskilda ungdomshemmen tolkar, definierar och upplever ett behandlingsprojekt, som involverade olika myndigheter, benämnt Motverka Våld och Gäng. Dessutom uppmärksammas hur de anställda samordnarna uppfattades och kategoriserades av föräldrarna. ”Föräldrar” blir i undersöknin
