Cultural networks play an important role in cultural governance: facilitatingcooperation between local and EU policy actors and shaping policymakingprocesses. The network-led, Creative Europe-financed project Cultural andCreative Spaces and Cities (CCSC; 2018–2021) experimented with policy co-creation between civic, cultural, and administrative stakeholders, addressing avariously discussed gap bet

During an ethnographic fieldwork trip conducted in June 2025 in Brazil between in two cities 4000 kilometers apart, Rio de Janeiro, my hometown, and Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, I conducted interviews with the eldest generation of my aunts and uncles in order to continue the investigation I have been engaged in during my doctoral studies on ancestry, migration and the ever-present eff

Small-scale artisanal fishery in Ghana has encountered unprecedented challenges in recent decades, including dwindling fish stocks. Correspondingly, the sector’s institutional landscape has evolved to comprise a diverse array of institutions. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork conducted in two fishing communities in Ghana, this paper examines the complex interplay between formal and informal institu

Urban infrastructure is crucial for livelihoods and economic growth, however, access remains fragmented. Such differential infrastructure provision within cities necessitates intra-urban comparison and a renewed commitment to re-thinking between and within neighborhoods in ways that do not universalize infrastructure geographies. This paper examines how electricity and water infrastructure affect

INTRODUCTION: Inequity in stroke care in Europe has previously been reported despite the existence of evidence-based cost-effective interventions for both prevention and treatment. This report aims to provide comprehensive data on stroke care in Europe in 2023 and explore associations to European regions, organisational and economic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The Stroke Service Tracker, an ann

Water balance models provide insights into ongoing changes in the water cycle. Among them, monthly water balance models (MWBMs) are especially suitable for large-sample and global assessments, which are important for adaptation to global environmental change. This study evaluates monthly water balances from 14 models across more than 2,000 global catchments, comparing the modelś capacities to repr

The mass–metallicity relation is a fundamental galaxy scaling law that has been extended to the faintest systems in the Local Group. We show that the small scatter in this relation, which has been used to argue against tidal mass-loss in Local Group satellites, is consistent with the level of disruption in the Auriga simulations. For every accreted system in Auriga, we compute stellar masses and m

In this chapter, an individual life story of a shipyard blacksmith is the point of departure for discussing elderly men’s labour market experiences. This story, which can be summarized as occupational continuity in a turbulent period, is in line with an optimistic view of the situation of elderly men in an era of profound changes in the technology and organization of work, is contrasted against th

BACKGROUND: Despite decades of initiatives promoting individual behavior change, obesity rates remain high and continue to rise globally, indicating that what is commonly labelled as “obesity prevention” is not, in practice, preventing obesity. While health promotion strategies and policy interventions have demonstrated improvements in environments, health behaviors, and industry practices, their

The electrification of the transportation sector is a central strategy for decarbonization, yet it raises concerns about the capacity of existing electric power grids to meet increasing demand. This thesis investigates the interaction between large-scale electrified vehicle fleets and the electric power system under the assumption of full transport electrification. The focus is on assessing the re

BACKGROUND: Conversations regarding health behaviours, mental health, and socioeconomic contexts are recommended during prenatal visits to optimize maternal and fetal health outcomes. This study was designed to develop and evaluate the acceptability of a clinical dialogue tool called Conversation Cards for Pregnancy (PregnancyCards for short). PregnancyCards are being designed as a practical, pers

Background: There are known associations between cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related plasma proteins and spirometry measures. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) measures gas exchange that can be impaired both by lung and heart diseases. We aimed to study the associations between DLCO and CVD-linked plasma proteins in a population-based cohort without airflow obstruction. Methods: 89 CV

When discussing the relationship between religion and LGBTQIA+ rights in Europe today, the two are often framed by both religious and secular representatives as oppositional forces. While the rights of sexual and gender minorities are frequently described as symbols of progress and modernity within liberal democracies, religious communities and traditions are commonly portrayed as defenders of tra

Background: Chronic pain in children can significantly impact daily functioning. While interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation is the recommended treatment, it is resource-intensive and limited in availability. Therefore, children with more complex symptoms, classified as High Impact Chronic Pain (HICP), need to be prioritized for interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation. However, HICP in children has

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play important roles in atmospheric chemistry, yet most studies have focused on canopy emissions. Decomposition of forest litter, a major below-canopy VOC source, can substantially influence atmospheric oxidation and aerosol formation. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), one of the most widely distributed tree species across the boreal zone, produces terpen

This case study investigates the development of subject-specific literacy in Physical Education and Health (PEH) for second language (L2) learners within a Swedish secondary school context. Integrating Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Legitimation Code Theory (LCT), the study introduces the concept of embodied cohesion to analyze how meaning is constructed across verbal, graphic, and phys

Stone funerary orbs with carved ornamentation, along with similarly decoratedstones, but in the form of slabs, are a distinctive yet underexplored category ofarchaeological objects from Late Iron Age Sweden. These carved stones areoriginally found in burial contexts from the Migration Period (c. 400–550 CE)and at times early Vendel Period (c. 550–800 CE). In later centuries, they areknown to have

Programming is a cognitively demanding exercise. Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a disruptive technology is redefining the practice of programming and transforming software engineering. As AI is evolving to a multimodal version that accommo- dates not only texts but also speech, images, and more, we see an opportunity to design eye-tracking based assistance to support programmers. Since AI has tak
