Although very few people appear to travel to the Nordic region in contexts that might accurately be described as ‘climate-related,' some Nordic states have developed bespoke legal provisions, and all have ‘exceptional grounds’ categories that may be applied when people seek to enter or remain in the context of climate change or disaster. This chapter provides a brief overview of legal provisions r
Research on inclusive place branding has primarily focused on residents, while tourists are yet to be addressed, except in representation studies. Inclusion is, however, more than a matter of representation. It must also consider the needs of the tourists. This study explores people with foreign backgrounds' anticipated constraints to domestic tourism. This article advances knowledge of inclusive
The activities of cluster initiatives operating as systemic intermediaries and supporting networking activities have been discussed in prior studies. We integrate insights from the cluster theory and the literature on sustainability transitions to study the activities of clusters acting as systemic intermediaries in the different phases of the development of a forest-based bioeconomy, namely (1) p
Intra-islet crosstalk has become a focus area to fully understand the regulation of insulin secretion and impaired β-cell function in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here, we put forward evidence for insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) as a potential protein involved in autocrine and paracrine β-cell regulation. We showed presence of IGFBP7 in granules of both human α- and β-cells and mea
Brain insulin resistance links the failure of energy metabolism with cognitive decline in both type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), although the molecular changes preceding overt brain insulin resistance remain unexplored. Abnormal biliverdin reductase-A (BVR-A) levels were observed in both T2D and AD and were associated with insulin resistance. Here, we demonstrate that re
Due to the increasing share of older people worldwide, the United Nations has directed an initiative towards a "decade of healthy ageing" to promote "age-friendly environments". This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of how to promote social participation and everyday mobility in later life. The ambition is to increase the knowledge about how to create more age-friendly environments and soDue to the increasing share of older people worldwide, the United Nations has directed an initiative towards a "decade of healthy ageing" to promote "age-friendly environments".

The present article explores the implication of fairness as a regulatory and competition law concept applied to digital and Artificial Intelligence markets, in light of recent law and policy developments targeting the interaction between data, market power and competition law. Much of the policy discussions, legislative proposals as well some emerging case law elevate the matter of “fairness” in tThe present article explores the implication of fairness as a regulatory and competition law concept applied to digital and Artificial Intelligence markets, in light of recent law and policy developments targeting the interaction between data, market power and competition law.Much of the policy discussions, legislative proposals as well some emerging case law elevate the matter of “fairness” in th
Over the years, Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) has been recognized as a crucial element in the toolkit of measures to combat climate change. At the European Union (EU) level, CCS plays a vital role in climate policy, particularly in reducing CO2 emissions from hard-to-abate industries. However, no comprehensive legal framework covers all stages of CCS. These stages include carbon capture t
Identities fundamental to the self, such as race and gender, can operate through visual markers on the body. Identities related to a person’s heritage, or nationality, can also become visible. However, when physical appearance means that a person can pass as a member of a dominant group, being identified or ‘marked’ as other takes place through language use. In migration contexts, situations where
Stress is a public health concern. One of the explanations to why women, more than men, receive stress-related diagnosis in connection to sickness absence is their responsibility for housework and caregiving. We investigate men’s and women’s time allocation and its association with everyday stress across life course stages (25-74 years), using individual time diary data (N=11,880) from the 2000/01
In recent years, there has been a wave of opposition to feminism, gender equality, and minority rights in various national and international contexts. While there is a growing number of works that examine anti-gender campaigns, less attention has been devoted to the potential consequences of the anti-gender mobilizations for the internal relations within socially progressive (feminist and LGBTQ+) In recent years, there has been a wave of opposition to feminism, gender equality, and minority rights in various national and international contexts.

Det globala akademiska landskapet har förändrats avsevärt sedan 1990-talet. Idag deltar fler länder än någonsin i produktionen av forskning av hög kvalitet, och internationella samarbeten inom högre utbildning har ökat markant under de senaste tre årtiondena på grund av globalisering och ökad personmobilitet. Det är tydligt att internationella utbyten och ökad personmobilitet har stärkt Sveriges fThe global academic landscape has changed significantly since the 1990s. Today, more countries than ever participate in the production of high-quality research, and international collaborations in higher education have increased dramatically over the past three decades due to globalization and increased personal mobility. It is clear that international exchanges and increased personal mobility hav
Accelerated deterioration of the constituting materials is important for the long-term performance of bridges or any other load-bearing structure with several-decades-long service life. In addition to the economic consequences due to increased maintenance and repair needs, severe deterioration can lead to catastrophic collapses with possible injuries, life losses, and impairments to infrastructure
Challenges of intonation derive from discrepancies between justly tuned intervals. In theoretical literature, string intonation is depicted as a balancing act between melodic and harmonic ideals, or between distinct tuning systems. However, practical string teachers’ and empirical researchers’ accounts sometimes appear to bypass such theory, focusing instead more informally on listening, kinesthet
