In response to increasing human pressures on biodiversity, conservation targets have been set to reduce these pressures and halt biodiversity decline. However, consequences of these objectives on common species are rarely studied. We analyse the effect of a range of drivers related to climate, land use and land-use intensity on 265 common bird and 144 common butterfly species from more than 20,000
Semiconductor heterostructures that combine components with different dimensionalities provide an interesting avenue to manipulate the physical properties of the resulting material. Two-dimensional lead halide perovskites crystallize as flat microcrystals and have efficient in-plane exciton mobility, while perovskite nanocrystals are efficient emitters with a tunable bandgap that can self-ass
Retaining glycosyltransferases catalyze the formation of stereochemically conserved glycosidic bonds through mechanisms that remain debated. Using bovine α1,3-galactosyltransferase (α3GalT) as a model, we combine mutagenesis, equilibrium unfolding, kinetics, and molecular dynamics simulations to understand how donor-induced loop ordering promotes catalysis. Alanine-scanning mutagenesis of the C-te
The development of stable, high-concentration oil-in-water nanoemulsions (NEs) incorporating thyme essential oil (TEO) is hindered by intrinsic instability mechanisms, such as Ostwald ripening, and by challenges in characterizing concentrated, optically complex systems. Here, a rational, inquiry-driven formulation strategy, aligned with Formulation by Design principles, was applied to produce NEs
Oven bags are widely used in cooking to improve food juiciness and flavor while minimizing dishwashing. These bags are commonly manufactured from plastics such as polyamide (PA, nylon) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). However, plastics used in food preparation may release additives, microplastics, or nanoplastics into food during heating, raising potential environmental and health concerns. T
Palladium hydrides are promising systems for hydrogen sensors and hydrogen storage, making the study of hydride formation in nanoparticles highly relevant. Lately, such studies have often been performed in situ or operando using synchrotron radiation of increasingly high intensity and brilliance. While beam-induced effects are well documented in liquid environments, they are rarely considered in t
This dissertation examines rhetorical aspects of market-oriented political thought in Sweden during the turn towards market-liberalism during the 1970s and 1980s. While there is a vast body of literature that demonstrates the importance of employers’ organisations in the dissemination of market-liberal ideas in Sweden, less attention has been paid to the rhetorical aspects through which ideologica
We report on the development and first experiments at a new X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) endstation at the FemtoMAX beamline of the MAX IV Laboratory. Femtosecond time-resolved XAS measurements on solvated photoexcited molecular systems were performed with pulse-width-limited temporal resolution. The results demonstrate nearly shot-noise-limited signal quality, highlighting the capability o
Aim: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of self-reported kinesiophobia seven months after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and its relationship with self-reported and objectively assessed physical activity. Additionally, to explore the relationship between self-reported kinesiophobia and symptoms of anxiety and depression.Method: Cross-sectional sub-study conducted within the Targeted HypAim: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of self-reported kinesiophobia seven months after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and its relationship with self-reported and objectively assessed physical activity.

The internal structures of the semi-magic, neutron-rich N=126 nuclei, 203Ir and 202Os, were studied. The nuclei of interest were produced using relativistic-energy projectile fragmentation of a 208Pb beam at the GSI facility in Germany. Internal isomeric decays were investigated via delayed γ-ray spectroscopy. In 203Ir, four observed transitions were associated with parallel decay branches from an
The object of study of this thesis is Fierté nationale: De Jéricho vers Gaza, a film that I shot in 2019 and completed in 2025, which follows Hassan Al Balawi—a Palestinian diplomat to Europe—as he returns to Palestine on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the death of Yasser Arafat, former leader of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO). Rather than beginning with a predefined res
Over the years, public service has entered a transition into collaboration as a means of accomplishing common goals for the good of society. Collaborative work across professions has long played an essential role in providing integrated services in response to complex societal problems. Inter-professional collaboration involves integrating different skills and competencies, which is described as a
Measurements of surface-atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes have been relatively sparse across the Arctic tundra and boreal biomes, causing significant uncertainties in carbon budget estimates from the region. While the availability of Arctic-boreal carbon flux data has increased substantially over the past decade, the data have remained spread across different repositories, s
As anthropogenic forcing intensifies, soil moisture droughts have become prevalent across many regions. Soil moisture anomalies can influence near-surface air temperature by modulating both energy and carbon fluxes. However, the annual temperature response to soil moisture anomalies in the year following a soil moisture drought remains unclear. Here, we show that annual soil water loss in the year
This contribution has its focus on how Swedish Contract Law has met - and absorbed - digitalisation. The examination of a handful of court cases - mainly from the Swedish Supreme Court and sometimes implying rather inventive solutions - lead to the conclusion that the Courts' way to solve the contract law problems created by digitalisation shows that general Contract Law (with its most important
This paper discusses some problems in associating definitions and judgments of criminal unaccountability, e.g. criminal insanity, to psychiatric constructs, i.e., diagnoses, symptoms and related constructs of functional impairment. The aim is to highlight this relationship as to why it is inevitably challenging at a conceptual level. The backdrop of the paper is that the dependence between legal a
Pathological ossification is seen affecting different organs across the body. This includes the Achilles tendon, where the healing process after rupture can be impaired by heterotopic ossifications (HO). The formation pathways for HO in tendons are still debated, and one reason for this is our limited knowledge of their structure and composition in 3D. This study utilizes a multimodal 3D character
