Audio description (AD) plays a crucial role in making audiovisual media accessible to people with a visual impairment, enhancing their experience and understanding. This study employs an event segmentation task to examine how people without sight perceive and segment narrative events in films with AD, compared to sighted viewers without AD. Two AD versions were utilized, differing in the explicitn
This article aims to examine the nexus between social media, anti-corruption activism and democratisation in authoritarian regime contexts. It will investigate the complex ways in which civil society actors utilise art and humour on social media platforms to engage in covert anti-corruption activism. In doing so, we will show how, in authoritarian contexts, digital (social media) activists creativ
Sleep concerns are common during pediatric cancer treatment and can last into survivorship. The current systematic review sought to identify intervention studies that addressed sleep as a primary or secondary outcome during pediatric cancer treatment up to 5 years after completing treatment. Quality assessment was rated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (
Det övergripande syftet med avhandlingen är att utforska alliansbildning och allianshantering i en regional miljö, genom att analysera hur det ryska hotet i Östersjöregionen bemöttes under åren 2014-2020. Studien utvecklar i synnerhet begreppet ”informellt allierad” och belyser alliansbildning ur ett småstatsperspektiv. I linje med ett realistiskt tillvägagångssätt tar studien det internationella The overall aim of this thesis is to explore alliance formation and management in a regional setting, by analyzing responses to the Russian threat in the Baltic Sea region during the years 2014-2020. In particular, the study develops the concept of an informal ally and sheds lights on alliance formation from a small state perspective. In line with a realist approach, the study takes the impact of
According to popular understandings, children grow from a state of dependence to eventually become independent adults. Interdependence helps to disrupt the in/dependence binary and is a useful concept for making sense of the experiences young people with variations in sex characteristics in relation to healthcare. This study used semi-structured interviews with 32 health professionals, 33 caregive
‘Sufficiency’ has become a key term within sustainability science. The satisfaction of basic human needs for all and for multiple generations is only possible if coupled to the implementation of ecological ceilings that prevent wealthy groups from disproportionate production and consumption patterns and energy use. While much sufficiency research has focused on the poor and how to provide correspo
The chiral bile salt sodium cholate has been covalently linked to tetra-aryl-porphyrins, conferring them an extrinsic chirality and obtaining new molecules with high tendency to aggregate in solution. The chirality transfer from the molecular to the nano- and meso-scale has been investigated by promoting the self-assembly of the conjugates balancing the ratio of aqueous/organic solvent mixtures an
Moritz Ernst performs three works for piano by Michael Edgerton, including: Tr 1. Thrush; Tr 2. Noise is interrupting my practice: silence is when my reaction is quiet. silence is my protest against the way things are; Tr 3-5 First Sonata
This article discusses the transformative role of web publishing of 3D digital collections in the context of archaeology, using the example of the BItFROST project - a pioneering initiative at the Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo. Using the Dynamic Collections framework, adapted from Lund University (https://www.darklab.lu.se/), BItFROST provides high-resolution, open-access 3D model
Introduction: Social media provides nurses with tools to share information, debate healthcare policy and practice issues, and engage in interpersonal interactions. Historically, also in Scandinavia, nurses’ trade unions have taken the lead in defining nursing as a profession and supporting nurses in ‘conducting good nursing’. However, it is unexplored how trade unions guide nurses in social media
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of early-onset dementia after Alzheimer disease (AD). Efforts in the field mainly focus on familial forms of disease (fFTDs), while studies of the genetic etiology of sporadic FTD (sFTD) have been less common. In the current work, we analyzed 4,685 sFTD cases and 15,308 controls looking for common genetic determinants for sFTD. We found
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease globally, and can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a leading cause of cancer-related death. We aimed to determine the extent to which MASLD is an increasing cause of HCC in Sweden and to determine clinical characteristics associated with underlying MASLD. Using the Swedish quality re
Why do business leaders, senior politicians and civil servants move to leading positions in EU civil society? The article addresses this question through thirteen unique life-work history interviews with leaders of some of the most prominent EU civil society organisations (CSOs). Inspired by sociological approaches in EU civil society research, the article combines insights from the literature on
Beaches are important coastal features that provide vital ecosystem services; however, these systems are threatened by coastal erosion, sea-level rise, and coastal squeeze. Beach nourishments are a commonly applied coastal protection measure to mitigate erosion and flood risks while maintaining or enhancing recreational values. Nourishments vary in scale from mega-nourishments to small-scale nouri
Finite Element (FE) model updating is crucial for identifying key parameters in structural design and improving predictive accuracy. Despite extensive research on advanced FE procedures approved for user applications, persistent disparities remain in real-world scenarios, especially for complex materials like wood. Capturing accurate mechanical characteristics with traditional models poses challen
