This chapter explore contraceptive use of fertility awareness apps through the lenses of critical digital health and reproductive justice. Through political narrative analysis I trace three different ways which the personal contraceptive story connects to norms and dominant discourses on reproduction. I show how the apps reshape reproductive experiences by narratives of: 1) the digitised self as a
This response addresses a commentary by Orhan and Bal on our study of immigrant background and rape+ conviction in Sweden. We agree that conviction data do not capture all offending and that bias may occur at different stages of the criminal justice process. Our disagreement concerns the commentary?s movement from the possibility of such bias to an interpretation in which unequal legal treatment i
This paper examines FabLabs as machine-centred promissory organizations, where futures are not only imagined, but also materially enacted. Drawing on new materialist and process perspectives, we conceptualize FabLabs as promissory assemblages of entangled human and non-human actors, through which future-making is enacted. We show that machines are central agents for the materialization of imagined
In many countries, welfare organisations have adopted a 'digital first' approach. However, a major challenge for welfare organisations is to provide more and better-equipped digital services, while ensuring that they do not create higher thresholds for accessing welfare services. This article is based on a qualitative interview study with care users who received video visits from home care in SwedIn many countries, welfare organisations have adopted a 'digital first' approach.

This chapter reviews and synthesises scholarship on Central Asian women’s migration beyond the region, focusing on movements from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to Russia, Turkey, Europe and North America. Drawing on a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature published between 1990 and 2025, the chapter argues that women’s migration constitutes a key analytical site for und
A new approach to targeting cell adhesion in oncology was recently suggested by observations made in patients with bladder cancer. Intravesical alpha1-oleate treatment triggered rapid tumor cell detachment into the urine and a parallel reduction in tumor number and size. This study identified alpha1-oleate as a potent inhibitor of multiple cell adhesion families in shed cells and tumor biopsies fr
Syftet med denna studie är att analysera debatten om ”Drag Queen Story Hour” i Sverige och därmed förstå hur den så kallade anti-genusrörelsen tar sig uttryck i en svensk kontext. Studien använder en metod som kombinerar kritisk diskursanalys med tematisk analys av materialet. Genom dessa metoder är målet att undersöka såväl debattens retoriska aspekter som den rådande diskursen. För att besvara fThe purpose of this study is to analyze the debate about drag queens story hour in Sweden and thus to understand how the anti-gender movement is expressed in a Swedish context. The analysis method that I chose for the study is inspired by the critical discourse analysis as well as a thematic analysis of the material. Using these methods the aim of the study is to examine the rhetoric aspects of th
Heterogeneous explainable spatiotemporal graph neural networks for disease outbreak surveillance using individual and aggregated-level data Fine-scale forecasting of severe infectious-disease outcomes can support local public-health planning, but most spatiotemporal forecasting models represent geographic areas as homogeneous nodes and do not explicitly retain information from individuals and hous
This thesis examines whether Chile's governance of its two strategic minerals, copper and lithium, has moved its economy beyond the extractive model that has characterised Chilean development for over a century. Using price and production data for copper (from 1966 to 2024) and lithium (from 1985 to 2024), it shows that both commodities exhibited persistent supply inelasticity, leaving Chile&#
Spatial models, such as the Besag, York and Mollie (BYM)model, have long been used in epidemiology and disease mapping. A commonproblem in these subjects is the modelling of number of disease eventsper region; here the BYM models provides a holistic framework for bothcovariates and dependencies between regions.We use these tools to assess the relative insurance risk associated withthe policyholderSpatial models, such as the Besag, York and Mollie (BYM)model, have long been used in epidemiology and disease mapping.

It has been suggested that some experiences are transformative; they radically change a person, their understanding of and way of being in the world (cf. Paul 2014). What this means for people who face choices in which they know that they will go through a transformative experience is a complicated matter. How can choice options in such situations be compared and ranked? What could it be to act ra
In this concluding chapter, we focus on outlining the next frontier in research on rhythm cognition and rhythmic communication (RCC), synthesising conceptual, methodological, comparative, and applied directions, as they emerge from the contributions to the Nature Beats volume. While consensus has grown regarding the composite nature of rhythmic competence and the need for integrated quantitative a
