Background: Conceptualizing affect as two separate signal sensitivity subsystems, defined as high/low positive affect and high/low negative affect, implies that (A) the study of affectivity needs the interaction between these two dimensions in a complex adaptive meta-system composed of combinations beyond the two-system approach and that (B) this meta-system is associated to individual differences

This study aimed to synthesize carbon dioxide, moisture, and heat emission load profiles in an overcrowded Swedish household. The study gathered realistic values for emissions from individuals and other household sources through an extensive literature review. It explored various aspects of daily routines, including showering, laundry, wet cleaning, dishwashing, cooking, and pets and plants. The s

Background: The teaching profession is considered as one of the most highly stressful professions. Indeed, teachers from many countries report high levels of stress and low levels of subjective well-being (e.g., low levels of positive affect and high levels of negative affect). In this context, a teachers’ affective profile might be an indication of their vulnerability for falling into counterprod

Background: Affectivity has been suggested as a complex adaptive meta-system composed of positive affect and negative affect, two independent but interrelated markers of well-being, that can be represented as four distinct affective profiles: self-fulfilling (high positive affect/low negative affect), high affective (high positive affect/high negative affect), low affective (low positive affect/lo

At the heart of this research are relational encounters between people and textile materials. As the title, Crafting Material Bodies, indicates, the research explores how human bodies are crafted by material bodies (costume) and vice versa. In the research textile materials and people are my co-creators and as co-creators they are invited to relate to, affect and become affected by other human bod

Background: Individuals’ perception of their work climate is expected to strongly influence personnel’s organizational commitment. However, the evidence about the association between organizational commitment and important outcomes, such as performance at work and turnover, is mixed. If this was not enough, little attention has been paid to how individual differences in basic personality (e.g., in

CoSAXS is a state-of-the-art SAXS/WAXS beamline exploiting the high brilliance of the MAX IV 3 GeV synchrotron. By coupling advances in sample environment control with fast X-ray detectors, millisecond time-resolved scattering methods can follow structural dynamics of proteins in solution. In the present work, four sample environments are discussed. A sample environment for combined SAXS with UV–v

Background: During the last years, the affective profiles model has been applied to study individual differences among Spanish children in psychological characteristics, such as optimism and pessimism. This research has replicated past studies from adult and adolescent Swedish populations by identifying four profiles using clustering methods on self-reports of children’s experience of positive (PA

The editorial discusses the importance of Special Issues devoted to a particular topic or theme and welcomes readers to this Special Issue, ‘Contemporary Scandinavian Art Cinema and Screen Cultures in Transition’, curated by Joel Frykholm and Anna Estera Mrozewicz.

Background: The affective profiles model has been used in several studies investigating individual differences in, for example, well-being and ill-being. The model categorizes individuals in four profiles based on the balance of high/low positive/negative affect: (1) self-fulfilling (high positive affect, low negative affect); (2) high affective (high positive affect, high negative affect); (3) lo

System logs are crucial for understanding the state and health of systems, yet manual inspection becomes impractical due to the high volume of messages. Consequently, machine learning-based log anomaly detection has emerged to automatically identify irregularities. This study investigates the effectiveness of log message embeddings, a novel parsing method, for anomaly detection in complex systems.

Dietary diversity has been widely used as a proxy indicator for micronutrient adequacy. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Rwanda, women are at high risk of inadequate micronutrient intake resulting from poorly diversified diets. This study was conducted to examine the factors associated with women's dietary diversity, with emphasis on homestead production diversity and market

Chemical signaling is ubiquitous in the marine environment. Plankton rely on chemical signals to find mates, hunt prey, and respond to threats, and these small-scale interactions can propagate into community-wide cascades and large-scale ecological changes. The chemical signaling exchange in the open ocean is poorly understood, and fundamental information about concentrations and spatiotemporal va

High-resolution x-ray tomography is a common technique for biomedical research using synchrotron sources. With advancements in laboratory x-ray sources, an increasing number of experiments can be performed in the lab. In this paper, the design, implementation, and verification of a laboratory setup for x-ray nano-computed tomography is presented using a nano-focus x-ray source and high geometric m

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of saphenous vein grafts (SVG) is associated with poor outcomes and is often regarded as inferior to native vessel PCI. We investigated clinical outcomes of SVG-PCI using contemporary drug-eluting stents (DES), in a complete, nationwide population. Methods: The complete Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) was used to id

In dynamic operational environments, particularly in collaborative robotics, the inevitability of failures necessitates robust and adaptable recovery strategies. Traditional automated recovery strategies, while effective for predefined scenarios, often lack the flexibility required for on-the-fly task management and adaptation to expected failures. Addressing this gap, we propose a novel approach

It has been shown in several previous studies that the implementation of risk-reducing interventions or adoption of safer behaviours is considerably less amongst individuals with low sociodemographic status. In turn, this has led to an increasing inequality of mortality risk and a considerable challenge for societal actors. Decreasing economic hurdles, that is, making safety interventions cheaper,

Nominal classification systems provide a unique window into the intersection of grammar, semantics, and cognition. Found in more than half of the world's languages, these systems possess both universal and language-specific properties. Nominal classification systems of a specific type, featuring classifiers marked in multiple morphosyntactic loci, are found in many languages in Northwestern Amazon
