This paper aims to foreground the importance of emotions in water diplomacy in general and in Nile water diplomacy in particular. Water diplomacy does not operate from a clean slate, but in a socio-hydropolitically mediated context which is, in turn, imbued with emotions. The existing water diplomacy approach primarily operates with the assumption that the riparian state is a rational actor. Howev
Efter det att Sverige ratificerade Europakonventionen om kommunal självstyrelse (the European Charter of Local Self-Government) 1989, den s.k. självstyrelsekonventionen, har ett antal reformer av det lokala och regionala självstyret ägt rum. Frågan är i vilken utsträckning dessa reformer kan ses som anpassningar till konventionen. Analyser av granskningsrapporter och förarbeten indikerar att refor
The solid-liquid interface, where corrosion reactions occur, is notoriously difficult to study in operando conditions. Few experimental techniques can provide surface sensitivity and spatial and temporal resolution and are compatible with liquid environments. 2-Dimensional surface optical reflectance (2D-SOR) is an emerging optical technique providing microscopic information with high temporal res
Introduction: Methylation analysis of the promoter region of tumor-suppressor genes has previously shown high sensitivity for detection of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cancer. HPV-testing has a high sensitivity to identify women at risk to develop cancer, and has been implemented in cervical screening programs in several countries. But in most HPV-positive women the infe
The conveniences of remote work are various, but a surge in cyberthreats has heavily affected the optimal processes of organizations. As a result, employees' cybersecurity awareness was jeopardized, prompting organizations to require improvement of cybersecurity processes at all levels. This paper explores which cybersecurity aspects are more relevant and/or relatable for remote working employees.
Based on an analysis of qualitative research papers published between 2019 and 2021 in four top-tier management journals, we outline three interrelated silences that play a role in the objectification of qualitative research: silencing of noninterview data, silencing the researcher, and silencing context. Our analysis unpacks six silencing moves: creating a hierarchy of data, marginalizing noninte
Innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming cities in unprecedented ways. In this chapter, we unpack the connections between AI and the urban by introducing the concept of urban AI and reflecting on its most prominent incarnations: autonomous vehicles, urban robots, city brains and urban software agents. We then illustrate how the emergence of urban AI is producing a new urbanism th
Paediatric prospective studies of coeliac disease with longitudinal collection of biological samples and clinical data offer a unique perspective on disease risk. This Review highlights the information now available from international paediatric prospective studies on genetic and environmental risk factors for coeliac disease. In addition, recent omics studies have made it possible to study comple
Introduction: Single Bicycle Brashes (SBCs) are common, and underreported in official statistics. In urban environments, light rail tram tracks are a frequent factor, however, they have not yet been the subject of engineering analysis. Method: This study employs video-based analysis at nine Dublin city centre locations and introduces a predictive model for crossing success on tram tracks, utilisin
Purpose: An increasing number of children and young adults with complex medical conditions and respiratory failure are treated with home mechanical ventilation (HMV). The current study aimed to describe how young adults using HMV experience their everyday life with the ventilator, their physical impairments and their opportunities for an educational and professional career. Materials and methods:
How can ludic play frame and assist the participants' interactions in an immersive opera? The Consultant's Quest was developed as an artistic response to the idea and the challenge of integrating articulated game-playing as a both methodic and affective instrument in relation to operatic elements. Presented as a card-driven board game in connection to the operatic experience The Prophecies, The CoHow can ludic play frame and assist the participants' interactions in an immersive opera?

In this paper, a high-isolation two-port co-linearly polarized (co-LP) composite antenna is proposed. Dipole and W8JK array modes with co-LP omnidirectional patterns can be simultaneously supported by a plate with two etched back-to-back tapered slots. A microstrip differential and a T-divider coupling feeding networks are developed to selectively excite the dipole and W8JK modes, which results in
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797) was an English philosopher in the Enlightenment tradition, writer, novelist, and book reviewer. She was an advocate for women’s rights and for equality of wealth and privilege and supported the French Revolution. She made her name in 1790 as the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Men, the first published commentary on Edmund Burke’s critique of the French Revo
The Prophecies is an AI-based chamber opera with interactive features in which the visitors are immersed in a ritualistic and temple-like setting where they can meet a singing oracle who instead of appearing to be connected to ancient divinities receives messages from the digital realm. The underlying theme of the opera is the eternal human search for guidance and our hope for help from external a
Introduction: The ability of species to colonize newly suitable habitats under rapid climate change can be constrained by migration processes, resulting in a shift of the leading edge lagging behind the ameliorating climate, i.e. migration lag. The importance and extent of such migration lags during the forest expansion after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) are still debated. Similarly, the relativ
Excited state evolution of the rhodium(iii) complex [Rh(iii)(phen)2(NH3)2]2+ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been investigated theoretically to gain a better understanding of light-driven activation of high-energy metal centered states. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations show the significance of asymmetric motion on a multidimensional potential energy landscape around the metal cente
This paper explores the relationship between the Vertical Sky Component (VSC) metric and the European and Swedish daylighting regulations. VSC, a static geometrical metric, is considered a useful early indicator of indoor daylighting, as it is insensitive to late-stage design details such as material properties and internal layout. However, its relationship with modern building daylighting legisla
