Road verges can harbour a diversity of flowering plants and may be useful foraging habitats for pollinating insects in landscapes where flower-rich habitats are scarce. Targeted management of road verges can further enhance flower abundance, thereby potentially benefitting flower-visiting insects. However, traffic on the adjacent road could pose a risk, such that flower-rich road verges instead ac
Educational development initiatives in the form of short-lived, isolated pedagogical courses may at best change the thinking and practice of a few pioneers, and then perhaps only temporarily. It is only possible to successfully address the need that such initiatives are intended to meet if the impact is lasting and effects a cultural change locally at the university. In this study, we look beyond
Objective: Investigate the role of metabolic syndrome and obesity in incident osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Prospective cohort study with up to 11 years follow-up. From a general population cohort of 28,786 individuals from Sweden aged 45 to 75, we selected individuals without OA diagnosis and without joint pain during the year prior to the baseline. Metabolic syndrome was defined at baseline by t
This paper draws upon an extensive transdisciplinary scenario development in the context of the stakeholder oriented preparation of the climate protection plan of the German federal state North Rhine-Westphalia, which is home to the most important heavy industry cluster in Europe. In that context we developed differentiated bottom up climate change mitigation strategies and scenarios for the major
The sound art scene is not limited to the northern hemisphere. Rather, it is globally distributed and has for decades also appeared in various manifestations and constellations in the Global South. Globalization, postcolonialism, and decolonization are therefore issues that are just as crucial to the field of sound art as they are for other fields of social and human science. These issues are slow
Based on energy conservation, an optical theorem is constructed for a slab having an arbitrary periodic microstructure in a plane. A sum rule for low pass structures is derived using analytic properties of Herglotz functions based on causality and passivity. The sum rule relates the total cross section to the static polarizability per unit cell, and quantifies the interaction between the slab and
Presently, there is no single, coherent theory on the causality between cities and economic growth, only a fragmented set of theories. Current patterns and trends for the relationship between cities and economic growth, however, suggest that a full understanding of contemporary processes will not be achieved by relying on the tools of one discipline alone, or by focusing on a single level of analyPresently, there is no single, coherent theory on the causality between cities and economic growth, only a fragmented set of theories.

International organisations (IOs) play increasingly important roles in world politics. As states face more complex challenges they have joined together in IOs to solve their common problems. Yet once an IO has been created it may take on a life of its own, and it becomes difficult for its state founders to control what it does. Permanent secretariats populated by experts are one of the most import
This study uses a novel approach to identifying local contextual conditions conducive, alone or in combination to far-right political violence. The studied case is asylum housing attacks occurring in Sweden 2015-16. Using a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of eighty-six Swedish municipalities, forty-two of which have experienced arson attacks against refugee housing facilities, we operat
In this text, I develop my earlier argument on the possibility of a non-confessional theological inquiry, and hence an intellectual practice devoted to the classical theological problems that begin with reason rather than faith, at secular universities in Sweden, a country with no state church and many different religions and denominations. I answer the criticism against this tentative proposal by
This study investigates the publication and reception of the Latin American boom literature in Sweden from 1960 to 1990, focusing on Julio Cortázar, Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa. It analyses the extent of Swedish translations of their works and the type and amount of attention they received in the Swedish press. Using a bibliometric approach for the translations, a
The three short movements in “Aspects of Snow” are united by the theme of snowy landscapes depicted in the poems and also share concentrated musical material. The piece was written in 2012 and premiered the same year by the Malmö Academy of Music Chamber Choir under the direction of Mats Paulsson. Else Lasker-Schüler (1869–1945) was one of the leading German writers in the decades after the turn o
An engineering model for estimating hot gas layer height is presented. The model is based on several sub-models, thus necessitating benchmarking against experimental data. Results from the model are compared to data from three different series of enclosure fire tests. The results indicate a strong correlation between the proposed model and the experimental observations, with an average error of le
Childhood stunting is a serious global public health issue that exhibits local spatial variations. Previous studies have used traditional statistical methods to identify stunting risk factors, and little is known about the application and usefulness of spatial machine learning techniques in identifying localized stunting risk factors based on complex datasets. This study assesses the performance o
Introduction: Some children may witness their grandparents or great-grandparents spending their final days in a nursing home, while others have peers with older relatives living in nursing homes. Children learn about ageing through experience and exposure, where picture books can also shape their perceptions and attitudes toward older adults residing in nursing homes.Aim: To explore the underlying
Context. The TOI-178 system consists of a nearby late K-dwarf transited by six planets in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune regime, with radii ranging from -1.1 to 2.9 R and orbital periods between 1.9 and 20.7 days. All planets but the innermost one form a chain of Laplace resonances. Mass estimates derived from a preliminary radial velocity (RV) dataset suggest that the planetary densities do not
ObjectiveTo explore sex and age differences in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) and adherence to digital osteoarthritis (OA) self-management intervention.MethodsA register-based study with data from an OA digital self-management intervention. PROMs and adherence were collected at baseline and/or 3 month follow-up: ‘pain intensity’ in hip/knee (best/worst: 0–10), ‘activity impairments' (
