This paper examines the impact of Germany’s 9-Euro-Ticket and itssuccessor, the German Ticket (49 €), on public transportation usage,environmental benefits, and social equity, while exploring the feasibility ofimplementing a similar model in Sweden. The 9-Euro-Ticket, introduced in2022 as a temporary measure to alleviate economic strain from rising energycosts, significantly increased public trans

Globalization and commodification trends in football negatively impact the climate in terms of greenhouse gas emissions from leagues and international tournaments. A significant share of these emissions stem from the flying of teams, staff and fans. Using Norway as a case study, we ask what a national football federation is doing and could be doing to reduce its ecological footprint from air trave

The practices of doctoral education are intricately entangled with technologies. This methodological paper examines the practical concerns involved in doing the analytic work in a networked learning setting with Actor-Network theory (ANT). It is a story about engaging with ANT as a companion in an ethnographic research project on teaching practices in Sweden during the Covid-19 pandemic. The empir

The paper explores what the methodological considerations are for a study of educational practice and networked learning in technologically dense classrooms. The approach of the discussed study is informed by Actor-Network Theory (ANT) (Latour, 2005) and the paper outlines the methodological consequences for adopting principles associated with ANT and post-humanist critiques of representational ep

The majority of cases in the US criminal courts are disposed of through plea bargaining, an agreement where the accused accepts an offer from the prosecutor in return for their guilty plea. While procedural law formalises the interaction taking place in trials and proceedings, plea bargaining builds on informal negotiations between the prosecutor and the defence. In sociology, negotiation is consi

The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore how the Swedish community support organizations BUFFF and Solrosen support children and youths with incarcerated parents with a focus on how they address stigma, provide safe spaces, and help prevent intergenerational criminality. Through semi-structured interviews with professionals from both organizations, this thesis examines how these childre

Human dignity is a key foundational value for human rights. Human rights are however facing new challenges from the development and deployment of artificial intelligence technologies in society. Governance efforts to address such challenges have encompassed drawing up ethical guidelines, policy measures as well as legal regulation. The world’s first comprehensive regulation on artificial intellige

The vast majority of patients with pancreatic cancer present with unresectable disease and precision medicine is lagging behind. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a promising tool, both as a proxy for tumor burden and for capturing tumor heterogeneity, but optimal gene panels and prognostic cutoffs remain to be determined. Herein, we applied ultra-deep ctDNA sequencing using a customize

OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: The objective was to determine the association between serum IgE levels and the infiltration order of T lymphocytes and macrophages in pancreatic islets in relation to the loss of insulin and glucagon cells in presymptomatic congenic BB Gimap5-DP (Diabetes Prone) rats.MATERIAL: Congenic prediabetes BB Gimap5-DP and control Gimap5-DR (Diabetes Resistant) rats were followed eve

BACKGROUNDDistinguishing wide complex tachycardia (WCT) as ventricular tachycardia (VT) or supraventricular WCT (SWCT) is critical yet challenging. Manual ECG algorithms require substantial expertise and are inconsistently applied, and contemporary computerized ECG interpretation (CEI) systems often return only a generic “wide complex tachycardia” label. Novel machine learning–based ECG models (So

This study examines how two instructional conditions - explicit and implicit narrative instruction - were implemented in Swedish preschools, drawing on principles from implementation science. Data from 21 preschool departments—including video recordings, teacher interviews, and survey data - were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. The implicit approach (HINT), focusing on shared reading and

5-15% of all colorectal cancers (CRCs) are mucinous. Mucinous CRCs are associated with an inhibited response to standard adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies. Serine-Arginine Protein Kinase 1 (SRPK1) is an enzyme, which modulates the activity of multiple splicing factors. SRPK1 under-expression is associated with resistance to platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents in multiple tumor types. The objec

Thanks to its ability to form a lattice of self-ordered nanosized pores, nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (NP-AAO) is a promising material with diverse applications, for example, as membrane for the controlled deposition of catalysts. NP-AAO is obtained by the anodization of an aluminum substrate under specific pH and voltage conditions. However, the growth mechanism of the oxide is still under de

Provision of assistive technologies (AT) is strongly connected to applying a person-centred approach, with focus on exploring the person’s individual abilities, needs and desires, to enable provision of matching AT. In the process of provision, it is also important to assess and facilitate the person’s understanding of how to use the AT, to enhance optimal usage and enable AT integration in everyd

By combining the quantitative advantage of laser absorption spectroscopy and the superior spatiotemporal resolution of high-speed microscopic imaging, we report, for the first time, the transient aluminum monoxide (AlO) concentration distribution around a burning micro-sized aluminum droplet in water-vapor-rich ambient. Arrangement of two lasers at resonant and non-resonant wavelengths, respective

Passivity refers to spontaneous formation of a passive film on the surface of metals. High stability of the passive film on advanced alloys relies on the repassivation ability of the alloys in corrosive environments. Two Ni-base superalloys (Ni-22Cr-9Mo-5Fe-2Nb and Ni-18Cr-3Mo-20Fe-5Nb) are studied to elucidate the mechanism of repassivation through a combination of multimodal in-situ synchrotron
