This paper explores guldgubbar, small gold foil figures from Vendel Period Scandinavia (c. 550–800 CE), through a new materialist lens, moving beyond representational interpretations rooted in Cartesian thought, that usually frames images to be in stasis. Instead of seeking a singular meaning, the study focuses on the figures’ materiality, affective qualities, and ontological openness. Drawing on
port framstår gärna som något spontant, kroppsligt och i någon mening frikopplat från ekonomi: prestationer på planen, publikens jubel och dramatiken i en direktsändning. Men modern idrott är i själva verket nära sammanvävd med marknadsekonomins förutsättningar. Exempelvis är den utrustning som används av såväl amatörer som professionella idrottsutövare ofta resultatet av betydande investeringar i
Ground truth datasets play a fundamental role as reference values in the training and evaluation of machine learning models. This position paper argues that ground truths are not neutral objective measurements that are naturally given, but instead that they are constructed by arrangements of humans and technologies. We argue that the ML community will benefit from articulating and discussing these
Background: Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used in patients with haematological diseases but are associated with infectious complications. The CVC Anti-infection Double Lumen Bundle was introduced in December 2020 to reduce this risk. The bundle included a double-lumen noble metal alloy–coated CVC and chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings. This study evaluated whether the bundle was as
This article aims to ‘dig for the roots’ of the entanglement between secularity and the Bible in Sweden. By employing the concepts “religionization” and “biblical assemblages,” this study identifies and analyzes the interplay between perceptions of secularity and the Bible in the public debate on women’s ordination in the Church of Sweden (CofS) in the 1950s – a crucial decade in the secularizatioThis article aims to ‘dig for the roots’ of the entanglement between secularity and the Bible in Sweden.

Background Previous population-based studies suggest an increased risk of suicide in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but findings have been inconsistent and often limited by residual confounding. We examined the association between incident PD and suicide-related outcomes using extensive confounding control, including both suicidal attempts and suicide.Methods We conducted a nationwide matched cohort stBackground Previous population-based studies suggest an increased risk of suicide in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but findings have been inconsistent and often limited by residual confounding.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is the benchmark oxygen-ion conductor and is widely regarded as electronically inert under oxidizing conditions. Yet its electrical behavior at the nanoscale remains unsettled. While bulk YSZ exhibits predominantly ionic transport, electronic contributions have only been reported under highly defective, porous, or strong-field conditions. Here, we demonstrate that
Iridium pincer complexes are among the most versatile catalysts for bond‑activation chemistry, yet their performance is often governed as much by off-cycle speciation and inhibition as by intrinsic reactivity. This thesis investigates how pincer ligand design influences the structure, dynamics, and catalytic behaviour of iridium complexes and their relevance to acceptorless dehydrogenation.InitialIridium pincer complexes are among the most versatile catalysts for bond‑activation chemistry, yet their performance is often governed as much by off-cycle speciation and inhibition as by intrinsic reactivity.

We study a class of dynamical multi-commodity flows in transportation networks. These are modeled as dynamical systems describing the evolution of the densities of a number of different commodities across the cells of a transportation network. Each cell is characterized by commodity-specific increasing demand functions returning the maximum outflow of each commodity from the cell as a function of
Time-of-flight mass-spectrometry (TOF-MS) measurements of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([EMIM][OTF]) vapors have been conducted in order to gain insight into the VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) absorption thresholds. The experimental data were interpreted with hybrid density-functional theory (DFT), time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT), and several flavours of many-body perturbation theor
