Smart grids are widely promoted as efficient, low-carbon solutions for energy transitions, yet their governance often treats digital infrastructure as immaterial and uniformly beneficial. This obscures the material, temporal, and justice dimensions that shape real-world outcomes. We introduce Circular Grid Governance (CGG), a framework that integrates circular-economy principles, lifecycle thinkin
Background: National studies on primary malignant tumours arising from the external auditory canal (EAC) are rare. Objectives: To investigate the incidence and outcomes of squamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal (SCC-EAC) in Sweden. Materials and methods: The retrospective study included patients diagnosed with SCC-EAC in Sweden from 2007 to 2017. Results: Forty-six patients with SC
It is now widely accepted that the vast majority of inhabitants of cities in developing countries have to be involved in the construction of their houses if they are to become home-owners. During the construction process, most households will make payments for land, construction materials and skilled labour. This chapter analyses the different ways in which households finance these payments and fo
In Africa, young people are engaging with a globalised world of flows and movements but are coming of age in environments characterised by uncertainty, economic hardship and unemployment. Drawing upon research conducted in Madina, a suburb of Accra, a social navigation perspective is adopted to explore young people's everyday mobility and their aspirations for future mobility. By drawing attention
This study investigates how decision makers at the fire service responds to different types of information and how it can enhance fire service operations during incidents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 47 incident commanders from three countries (Sweden, Finland and USA) to assess the influence of pre-planned, real-time, and predictive information on decision-making. The results i
Who benefited from agricultural commercialization in colonial Africa? Using social tables for three African economies, we identify a small group of rural capitalists who captured disproportionate gains. We demonstrate how their strategies of accumulation varied across contexts and shaped divergent and often unequal development trajectories.
Introduction: Therapeutic proteins are crucial in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. However, the proteins are sensitive to chemical degradation reactions, particularly deamidation and isomerization, which can compromise efficacy and safety. Formulation excipients, such as sugars and non-ionic surfactants, are commonly used to enhance stability, yet their effects on chemical degradation re
This paper investigates the role of sound and listening in establishing newsensory connections with the environment. Climate change is affecting the wayour environment sounds and we need to expand our sense of listening to tunein to those new registers. Through the development of a digital prototype forspeculative sound co-creation, this study explores ways to engage with ourchanging environment b
This paper examines whether high levels of intergenerational class mobility in twentieth-century Sweden eliminated class-origin income inequalities within adult occupationaldestinations, and whether childhood neighborhood exposure moderated these inequalities.Using longitudinal population-register, income, occupation, and geocoded residential data, thestudy follows individuals born between 1922 an
We present a coupled model describing growth of microalgae in a raceway cultivation process, accounting for hydrodynamics. Our approach combines a biological model (based on the Han model) and shallow water dynamics equations that model the fluid into the raceway. We then describe an optimization procedure dealing with the topography to maximize the biomass production over one lap of the raceway.
Non-invasive MRI is widely used to assess and monitor ischemic stroke, yet conventional approaches often lack sensitivity to subtle microstructural changes and struggle to evaluate tissue viability across lesion, penumbra, and distal regions. In this study, frequency dependent diffusion tensor distribution imaging (ωDTD) was combined with clustering of diffusion tensor distributions D(ω) and multi
In this study, we have investigated the dynamic behavior of colloidal rods within their isotropic phase, employing multispeckle ultrasmall-angle x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (UA-XPCS) focusing on the understanding of the interplay between structure and dynamics at the nearest-neighbor length scale. While prior research has primarily focused on the structural aspects, our work addresses th
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to give an overview of recent advances in the clinical management of children <18 years of age with end-stage pulmonary hypertension refractory to conventional medical therapy.RECENT FINDINGS/SUMMARY: The increased awareness and characterization of pediatric pulmonary vascular disease has amounted more data toward creating an accurate, and comprehensive, risk pr
The proline-rich domain (PRD) of the tumor suppressor p53 plays a central role in modulating conformational dynamics and molecular interactions, yet its intrinsic structural behavior remains incompletely understood. Here, we combine extensive all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with biophysical validation to characterize the conformational ensemble of the p53 PRD. The domain behaves as an intr
In recent years the treatment of cancer with radioactive drugs, here termed molecular radiotherapy (MRT), has emerged to take a place alongside other treatment modalities, particularly non-radioactive drugs (NRDs) and external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). A purpose-built tool was developed within the Python programming environment to review the evolution of clinical trials performed in the first quar
This open access book investigates human-environment relations in the context of the anthropocenic Arctic. Through an archaeological and anthropological study of landscape, it wields “weirding” – a creative mode of engagement with the world – as a means of coming to terms with the stranger, experiential dimensions of a planet populated by diverse non-human entities often bearing monstrous characte
Using a unique dataset that defines sustainability initiatives as concrete firm-level sustainability actions, this study examines firms’ biodiversity-related initiatives, their links to underlying biodiversity risks, and whether financial markets value them. We find that biodiversity-related initiatives are concentrated in community engagement activities, such as marketing campaigns and donations.
