Increasing climatic and human pressures are changing the world's water resources and hydrological processes at unprecedented rates. Understanding these changes requires comprehensive monitoring of water resources. Hydrogeodesy, the science that measures the Earth's solid and aquatic surfaces, gravity field, and their changes over time, delivers a range of novel monitoring tools that are complement
Brain connectivity arises from interactions across biophysical scales, ranging from molecular to cellular to anatomical to network level. To date, there has been little progress toward integrated analysis across these scales. To bridge this gap, from a unique cohort of 98 individuals, we collected antemortem neuroimaging and genetic data, as well as postmortem dendritic spine morphometric, proteom
Since the beginning of the 2000s, Yael Bartana has investigated themes as national identity and religious tradition, collective traumas and the yearning for redemption, patriarchal power structures and promises of salvation. While the point of departure engages with the present, her oeuvre questions and proposes thoughts on how we can live together in a future that defies the shared burden of our
I Versaillesparken ligger Marie-Antoinettes kulissby Le Hameau. Den bestod av ett dussintal byggnader grupperade runt en konstgjord sjö. Byn var drottningens tillflyktsort där hon fick utrymme för sitt privatliv. Jonas Nordin berättar i sin artikel historien om denna märkliga plats.
What if Women Ruled the World? Yael Bartana stages this question in her performative piece Two Minutes to Midnight. The all-female government of a fictional nation is tasked with addressing an imminent nuclear threat posed by a foreign power. A panel composed of actresses and real-life experts in defense, law, politics, and psychology gathers in a democratic “peace room.” This space reflects the t
(1) Background: The European Union Driver License Committee recently developed a questionnaire as a screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), named the European Obstructive Sleep Apnea Screening (EUROSAS) questionnaire for drivers. The aim of the current study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of the EUROSAS to predict risk of OSA in professional male drivers. (2) Methods: Fift
Challenging Contextuality provides a new and innovative contribution to the study of biblical texts and their interpretation by bringing together current and promising, yet still marginal approaches to biblical interpretation. As marginal voices are often drivers of innovation, this volume, therefore, both sets the agenda for the future of the field and provides a synthesis of fruitful approaches
In communities of the diaspora, music can be a powerful tool for collectively preserving memories. Along with storytelling, traditional languages, and dancing, songs can represent a living home for stateless nations. Yael Bartana’s new work brings together two groups from two different diasporas: Coral Tradição, a Jewish-Brazilian choir born from the now-destroyed Yiddishland (a nation whose borde
Background: The debate over legalizing medical assistance in dying (assisted dying) is ongoing, also in Nordic countries such as Sweden where assisted dying is illegal. A 2020 survey by the Swedish Medical Association highlighted varied perspectives, with 41% of physicians supporting and 34% opposing legalization. Professionals in palliative care were more negative toward it. Objective: To ass
Rainfall–runoff modeling is a complex hydrological issue that still has room for improvement. This study developed a coupled bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) with sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) learning (BiLSTM-Seq2seq) model to simulate multi-step-ahead runoff for flood events. The bidirectional LSTM with Seq2Seq learning (LSTM-Seq2Seq) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) was set as benchm
Improving the energy efficiency and sustainability in the urban sector plays a vital role in the energy transition. Hence, it is important to consider promising ways to design sustainable urban energy hubs linking neighborhoods into energy systems. Improving the efficiency and sustainability of urban energy infrastructure is a process with multiple steps. This chapter presents the workflow that is
Urban form is consisting of several complex parameters which can affect urban microclimate in the energy calculations; most importantly the geometry of buildings, streets andcanopies. This study with a novel design-based approach generates 400 urban forms in the context of a dense urban area to evaluate the air flow and consequently the ventilation potential with the aids of CFD simulations in the
Environmental loads, such as wind and river flow, play an essential role in the structural design and structural assessment of long-span bridges. Climate change and extreme climatic events are threats to the reliability and safety of the transport network. This has led to a growing demand for digital twin models to investigate the resilience of bridges under extreme climate conditions. Kalix bridg
The future buildings and society need to be resilient. This article aims to propose a novel concept of the energy resilience framework and implement a color-based rating system to quantify and rate the energy resilience performance of buildings in Nordic climates. The objective is to conduct a comparative analysis between old (1970s) and new (2020s) single-family buildings integrated with renewabl
Collective intelligence (CI) is a form of distributed intelligence emerging from collaborative problem solving and decision making. It has the advantages of simple communication and less need of data transfer and computationally extensive central decision making systems. This work implements CI in demand side management (DSM) of a hypothetical urban area in Stockholm, created based on the represen
