Migration Governance Beyond the West : Historical Legacies, Contemporary Trends, and Future Trajectories

As global narratives of migration continue to focus disproportionately onmovements toward the Global North, "Migration Governance Beyond the West:Historical Legacies, Contemporary Trends, and Future Trajectories" shifts the lensto underexplored South-South migration flows. This timely and data-drivenvolume offers a comprehensive analysis of migration trends, governanceframeworks, and policy respon

LEyes : A lightweight framework for deep learning-based eye tracking using synthetic eye images

Deep learning methods have significantly advanced the field of gaze estimation, yet the development of these algorithms is often hindered by a lack of appropriate publicly accessible training datasets. Moreover, models trained on the few available datasets often fail to generalize to new datasets due to both discrepancies in hardware and biological diversity among subjects. To mitigate these chall

Cerebrospinal fluid circulation and the glymphatic system in health and disease

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation is a complex process that is still not fully understood. Despite decades of research on CSF and its distinct functions, there still remain a number of open questions regarding the mechanisms that govern its circulation. The recently discovered glymphatic system, which is mostly active during sleep, clears the brain from extracellular metabolites and waste prod

Marketing machines at work : performing e-commerce by assembling, adjusting, and maintaining a complex market device

This paper aims to explore and conceptualise the marketing work of e-commerce managers. It draws on an ethnographically inspired study involving 21 e-commerce managers and approaches marketing work as a set of socio-material practices. The analysis shows that the marketing work of e-commerce managers centres on assembling, adjusting, and maintaining ‘marketing machines’ – complex market devices de

Lecticans in Vascular Remodeling of the Pulmonary and Fetal Circulation : Implications for Children with End-Stage Heart Disease

Introduction: Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is observed in both physiological and pathological states. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality in neonates and children and curative pharmacotherapy is lacking in most cases. In utero, a high PVR allows for blood to bypass the lungs through the open ductus arteriosus (DA). Vascular

Meniscus Repair - Long-term gains with short-term challenges?

Meniscus tears are common after knee injuries. The current treatment in patients under the age of 40 is typically arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) or arthroscopic meniscus repair. Meniscus tears and surgeries are associated with an accelerated progression to knee osteoarthritis (OA) and disability. PAPER I is an observational cohort study, utilising the Skåne Healthcare Register (SHR) to id

Smart insatsstöd - Data från smarta byggnader som ett stöd för räddningstjänsten

Smart firefighting is a concept in which the rescue service uses technological aids to retrieve, compile and present data as part of intelligence gathering to work out their firefighting strategy. The aim of this report is to map what kind of sensors in present-day smart buildings management systems that may offer relevant data in terms of operational support for the rescue service. Interviews hav

Small Books with a Mission : Prayer Books as Tools of Re-Catholicisation, c. 1540–1590

This thesis examines the role of German-language Catholic prayer books in the re-Catholicisation of Protestants during the approximate timeline 1540–1590. Within the broader context of the Catholic Reformation, these prayer books served as instruments of doctrinal transmission and devotional instruction, representing a form of ‘soft’ re-Catholicisation in contrast to the coercive methods used by s

How to analyse and manipulate nonlinear phenomena in voice recordings

We address two research applications in this methodological review: starting from an audio recording, the goal may be to characterize nonlinear phenomena (NLP) at the level of voice production or to test their perceptual effects on listeners. A crucial prerequisite for this work is the ability to detect NLP in acoustic signals, which can then be correlated with biologically relevant information ab

Acoustic context and dynamics of nonlinear phenomena in mammalian calls : the case of puppy whines

Nonlinear phenomena (NLP) are often associated with high arousal and function to grab attention and/or signal urgency in vocalizations such as distress calls. Although biomechanical models and in vivo/ex vivo experiments suggest that their occurrence reflects the destabilization of vocal fold vibration under intense subglottal pressure and muscle tension, comprehensive descriptions of the dynamics

Nonlinear vocal phenomena and speech intelligibility

At some point in our evolutionary history, humans lost vocal membranes and air sacs, representing an unexpected simplification of the vocal apparatus relative to other great apes. One hypothesis is that these simplifications represent anatomical adaptations for speech because a simpler larynx provides a suitably stable and tonal vocal source with fewer nonlinear vocal phenomena (NLP). The key assu
