This article explores the epistemological and ontological dimensions of vulnerability in research practice from the perspective of a researcher with a clinical diagnosis of Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder. It retraces the author’s journey conducting interviews with jihadist group members in France, based on a four-year research ethnographic project exploring the intimacies of jihadist group members
The preparation of extensive, atomically flat surfaces remains a central challenge in modern quantum materials research, as many crystals lack natural cleavage planes suitable for advanced surface-sensitive investigations. Here, we demonstrate that laser scribing guided by an ultrafast laser can be applied to facilitate easy cleavage along a desired crystallographic plane under ultra-high vacuum.
Debates on artificial intelligence (AI) in art tend to emphasise aesthetic dimensions, while the epistemic capacities of AI in this domain remain underexamined. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for analysing the intersection of artistic research and generative AI, grounded in Karl Popper’s World 3 thesis. Popper’s triadic ontology distinguishes between empirical outputs (World 1), subjec
Background: Nature-based interventions (NBIs) have been identified to support a recovery-oriented approach for people experiencing mental health issues. However, there is still limited knowledge related to how mental health service users experience their recovery process when engaged in NBIs. Aim: To explore and explain how mental health service users experience the process of personal recovery fr
The mildly diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat is widely used to study type 2 diabetes (T2D), yet the mechanisms underlying defective insulin secretion in this model remain incompletely understood. We therefore investigated the effects of multiple secretagogues on insulin and glucagon secretion as well as on blood glucose in vivo, followed by mechanistic studies assessing insulin secretion, ATP conten
Centrala punkter från kapitlet: - Författarna lyfter två huvudsakliga metoder för att kartlägga otryggaplatser. Kartverktyg, numera normalt digitala, respektive enkäter därrespondenter fritt får beskriva otrygga platser i text.- De digitala redskapen har en fördel i att kräva mindre arbete och varalättare att skala upp.- Det är vanligt att fråga om orsaker till att platsen upplevs som otryggutifråKey Points from the Chapter:- The authors highlight two main methods for identifying unsafe or fear-inducing places: mapping tools (now typically digital) and surveys in which respondents can freely describe unsafe locations in their own words.- Digital tools have the advantage of requiring less effort and being easier to scale up.- It is common to ask respondents about the reasons why a location
Centrala punkter från kapitlet:- Otrygga platser präglas i vissa fall av höga nivåer av brott och av både låga och höga nivåer av fattigdom.- Social oordning innebär ofta att människor uppfattas som störande, obehagliga eller farliga, vilket är en vanlig orsak till att platser uppfattas som otrygga.- Otrygga platser verkar kunna delas in i några återkommande typmiljöer: det centrala torget, parkeKey Points from the Chapter- Places perceived as unsafe are sometimes characterized by high levels of crime, sometimes by low levels of crime, and at times by high levels of poverty, while in other cases poverty levels are low.- Social disorder, including the presence of individuals perceived as disruptive, intimidating, or dangerous, is a common factor contributing to perceptions of unsafety.- Un
Centrala punkter från kapitlet:- Ett effektivt trygghetsfrämjande arbete kräver att åtgärder riktas i rätt tid,vid rätt plats och till rätt målgrupp.- Effekter av trygghetsfrämjande insatser kan vara komplexa och svåra attmäta.- Tydliga principer och strukturer möjliggör uppföljning och utvärdering avtrygghetsfrämjande insatser.- Kombinationen av statistiska och geografiska analyser ger en bra grKey Points from the Chapter- Effective community safety work requires interventions to be targeted at the right time, in the right place, and toward the right target group.- The effects of community safety initiatives can be complex and difficult to measure.- Clear principles and organizational structures facilitate the monitoring and evaluation of community safety efforts.- The combination of sta
Mental disorders are a major global health challenge, exacerbated by a narrow range of effective treatments and inadequate responses. The discovery of novel drug targets is necessary. We leveraged genome-wide association study summary statistics for 6 mental disorders (anorexia nervosa (AN), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), major depressive di
Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning the proposal for strengthened criminal-law protection for emergency services and other essential public functions. SWESEM supported the introduction of the offence of sabotage against emergency services and a stricter approach to violence and threats against emergency and healthcare personnel, while raising c
Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning proposed amendments to Swedish patient safety legislation. SWESEM supported the proposed changes and particularly welcomed the proposal for a probationary period of up to three years without an upper age limit.
Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning the Swedish Medical Association's leadership policy. SWESEM welcomed the policy but emphasised the need for continuous and structured leadership training for physicians and a clearer responsibility for employers to provide such training.
Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning alert information in medical records relating to blood-borne infections, infectious agents and threats. SWESEM emphasised the importance of such information for both staff and patient safety while acknowledging the potential risk of stigmatisation.
Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning the final report on complementary and alternative medicine and care. SWESEM welcomed the proposed legislation, considered the proposals important for patient safety, and supported the final report.
Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning national highly specialised care in six areas. SWESEM supported the proposed definitions and number of centres, while emphasising the importance of opportunities for professional development, research and collaboration for healthcare professionals outside the designated national centres.
Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning proposed national guidelines for COVID-19. SWESEM supported the proposal overall but raised comments regarding corticosteroid treatment, point-of-care ultrasound, involvement of emergency physicians and general practitioners, paediatric and obstetric care, and the management of COVID-19 in prehospital and eme
The current review summarizes recent advances in slow sand filtration (SSF) for water treatment, with a focus on addressing key gaps identified in recent studies. SSF has progressed beyond traditional biophysical processes through the integration of hybrid systems and advanced materials. The addition of zerovalent iron, graphene oxide, activated carbon, and biocomposites has improved the removal o
Climate models predict widespread precipitation changes across Europe, including more frequent and severe droughts. Drought events can alter soil microbial communities, leading to alterations in soil functioning and further ecosystem services. While long-term drought effects are well studied, short-term droughts during the growing season remain largely unexplored in agricultural soils. Thus, we in
Microplastics are pervasive in inland waters, yet large-scale association patterns of abundance and traits remain unclear. Here we compiled a global lake database integrating surface-water and sediment observations with 56 hydroclimatic and anthropogenic indicators. Most hydroclimatic variables show positive associations with abundance in surface waters but act oppositely in sediments. Leading con
The Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus provides a critical framework for addressing interdependencies among these resources in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), where limited water, arid climate, high energy demand, and growing populations pose significant sustainability challenges. Over-exploitation of groundwater in Yemen, energy-dependent desalination in Saudi Arabia, and water stress in Moro
