The purpose of this article is to reflect on the necessity of incorporating practical and experiential learning modalities in higher education to prepare strategic communication students for functioning in a global business environment characterized by an increasingly diverse, multicultural workforce and socio-cultural environment. It is argued that intercultural sensitivity and communication compe

This article examines why individuals in Kazakhstan continue gambling despite mounting financial losses and growing personal crises. Drawing on qualitative interviews with gamblers and gambling hall staff, it argues that gambling persistence is embedded in a moral economy of debt, in which financial obligations become intertwined with family responsibility, social expectations, and concerns about

This paper explores how a case of collaborative governance between public authorities and civil society organisations (CSOs) in Sweden was affected by political changes and reforms (2014-2024) that eventually contributed to the closing down of the project. The case addresses state-civil society relations in Sweden and how political shifts affect collaborative policy implementation. The collaborati

Business resistance to, negotiation of, and partial compliance with demands for responsibility and accountability in self- regulatory, as well as legal regimes, has been well documented. This chapter further engages with these issues by focusing on the regulation of the pharmaceutical industry – an industry that has attracted substantial scholarly attention, particularly regarding the self- regula

Background: Given the increased likelihood of wildfires in boreal forests due to climate change, the feasibility of current and alternative post-fire forest management strategies needs to be better understood. We assess the acceptability of post-fire management options through a survey experiment aimed at both forest owners and other forest users in Gävleborg county in Sweden—a region that experie

Drought is causing increasingly severe and widespread negative impacts on forest gross primary productivity (GPP), but modelling these impacts over large spatial scales with remote sensing data is challenging. It is especially problematic in forests that have lower spectral sensitivity to drought compared to other ecosystems and where the timing of vegetation index (VI) response may lag GPP. Howev

Robot-to-human handovers are fundamental for collaborative robots, particularly in surgical contexts where instruments must be delivered accurately without regrasping.We investigate the role of hand representation in learning precise robot-to-human handover behaviors in complex contexts such as surgery. Using a dataset of 180 teleoperated demonstrations, an image-based Action Chunking with Transfo

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles. Fluid biomarkers can accurately detect these.Plasma biomarkers are of particular interest, given that they are minimally invasive and low-cost, with potential for large-scale implementation, particularly in settings where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

Den digitala masterclassen Hundvänlig presenterar forskningsbaserad kunskap om hur besöksnäringen kan utveckla mer hundvänliga destinationer, verksamheter och upplevelser. Med utgångspunkt i forskning om hundägarnas resande diskuteras hundvänlighet som en fråga om mer än formell tillgänglighet – den omfattar även information, bemötande, fysisk miljö och samspelet mellan besökare, hundar och verksa

Nominated to Article of the year in Läkartidningen, this peer-reviewed medical commentary lays out the sociological groundwork of medicalisation for a medical readership, using obesity and the new GLP1-drugs as a springboard.

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate associations between 92 proteins and blood pressure (BP), prevalent hypertension (HT) and apparent treatment-resistant HT (aTRH) in a population-derived sub cohort.MethodsExcluding subjects with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) (n = 189), linear regression models assessed associations between proteins and systolic BP. Proteins showin

Waste is omnipresent, with consequences that are increasingly visible. Despite considerable efforts by the waste-management sector to keep it out of sight and out of mind, current waste levels pose a challenge to the welfare of today and tomorrow, from the squandering of resources to lasting environmental harm. Understanding Waste provides a multidisciplinary introduction to the diversity of waste

Camping is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, with sustainability emerging as a central theme. This shift in the market creates innovation opportunities in the outdoor equipment industry. Enabling catalytic combustion in camping burners has the potential to lower harmful emissions compared to conventional flame combustion while enriching the camping experience with features like re-ignition

Thermal management has become a critical bottleneck in telecommunications hardware as increasing power densities push heat fluxes toward the limits of forced-convection air cooling. This thesis presents a GPU-accelerated, surrogate-based parametric optimiza- tion workflow, demonstrated on a folded-fin cold plate cooled by forced convection of a synthetic ester oil. The workflow was developed in co

Luxury fashion communication has traditionally been shaped by established conventions and legitimised channels (González Romo et al., 2017; Donzé & Wubs, 2019; Gurzki et al., 2019; Kohrs, 2021; Dryl, 2023; Mosca et al., 2024; Zanola et al., 2025). However, changing media environments and audience expectations have challenged (D’Arpizio et al., 2019; Bain & Company, 2020; McKinsey, 2024), t

Landscape structure and climate change as drivers of biodiversity loss affect species across multiple spatial and temporal scales. In landscape ecology, the scale of effect describes the spatial scale at which a species responds most strongly to environmental factors, and species traits may reveal common patterns in these scale-dependent responses. This study explores if species sharing ecological
