We introduce MotionCanvas, a spatial art creation tool that integrates Generative AI and motion capture technologies into artistic interactive experiences. Existing interactive platforms provide engaging environments and allow users to interact through touch or gestures. However, they are often limited by predefined interactive content and gestures, lacking the ability to respond to user movements
Since the end of the 1990s, the number of fires increases dramatically in the city of Malmö. Between 1998 and 2009, the increase was 215 percent. A growing number of the fires are intentional and take place outdoors. Most of the fires are also concentrated in a limited number of neighborhoods. Furthermore, many schools are affected.

How Al-Qaida in the face of adversity of being one of the most hunted organizations, networks and ideolog
I avtal som ingås mellan kommersiella parter är det idag vanligt att skiljeförfarande väljs som tvistlösningsmetod. Det framhålls särskilt att det är en tvistlösningsmetod som bidrar till ett snabbt avgörande, ger parterna rätten att själva utse skiljemän samt att det är ett förfarande präglat av konfidentiellitet. Samtidigt brukar de kostnader som är förenade med skiljeförfarandet framhållas som Today, when commercial parties are contracting, it is common that they choose arbitration as their method of dispute resolution. In contrast to court proceedings, arbitration gives a quicker judgement, gives the parties the right to elect their arbitrators and is a process that is characterized by confidentiality. On the other hand, arbitration also comes with some disadvantages. One example, whic
This is foremost an essay in international relations theory, where realism is a major school within the field and has been so for quite some time. A sub-field within realism is structural realism that can be said to begin with Kenneth Waltz and his Theory of International Politics. This essay takes a “great thinkers”-approach and compares and analyses three versions of structural realism as presen
This paper analyses the linkage and causality between real wages and labour productivity. Higher real wage growth can raise the incentive of firms to save labour,thereby increasing output per hour worked. Cointegration analysis of a panel of 19 manufacturing industries in the United States for the years 1919 - 1939 suggests strong linkage and bidirectional Granger causality between the two variabl

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar en hinduisk, framför allt sydindisk form av divination vid namn nadi-läsning, uppbyggd efter astrologiskt mönster men med vissa utmärkande särdrag, framför allt uppläsandet av föregivet färdigskrivna texter, tillskrivna gudomliga eller övermänskliga författare, i vilka klientens levnadsöde skall ha nedtecknats långt före dennes födelse. EftLike all divination, Hindu astrology (jyotisa) is concerned with central religious issues such as man’s relation to the world, moral responsibility, and the revelation of a coherent divine order underlying human experience. Comprising a descriptive as well as a prescriptive aspect, jyotisa allows for both prediction and the exercise of free will. This double nature enables a seamless
Forskning har kunnat visa att aktiv framplockning av tidigare inlärda minnen kan hämma framplockning av konkurrerande minnen vilket leder till en framplockningsinducerad glömska, kallad retrieval-induced forgetting, RIF. Denna form av glömska tillskrivs ofta en kognitivt inhiberande process som aktiveras för att försvåra framplockning av icke relevanta konkurrerande minnen till förmån för underlätResearch has shown that active retrieval of previously learned memories can diminish retrieval of other concurring memories leading to what is known as retrieval-induced forgetting, RIF. This form of forgetting is often ascribed to a cognitive inhibition-process thought to be activated to reduce retrieval of not relevant concurring memories in favour of retrieval of sought after memories.

Tanzania is an illustrating case of how gender inequalities hinder the social, economic and political development of the country. Women’s subordinated position is an alarming factor which takes intricate forms grounded in traditional African culture and patriarchy. The struggle of existing laws does hence not reach out to the majority of women, leaving them unaware of their rights. Further, a numb
This paper describes the changing nature of the English and Swedish states between 1800 and 2020 from the perspective of ordinary citizens. We identify 13 typical life situations and then describe the types of citizens who interacted with the state, the number and types of public officials with whom they interacted, and where those interactions took place. We distinguish among three typical social

Public libraries serve as social infrastructures that foster interpersonal connections and promote well-being and cohesion. In order to explore the role played by libraries in the process of social infrastructuring, we conducted a zine-making workshop with librarians.

This study examines the individual’s role and responsibility in Swedish total defence and crisis preparedness. Using securitisation theory, the study analyses how the state has constructed contemporary security threats and defined the individual’s role and responsibility in preparing for and countering these threats. The study combines the securitisation theory with a multimodal discourse analysis
