Acquisition of entomological data with high-frequency lidar is an emerging research field in rapid development. The technique offers very high numbers of observations per time unit, suitable for statistical models. In this work, we use a near-infrared Scheimpflug lidar with a sampling frequency of 3.5 kHz to assess the activity of free flying organisms. In-situ measurements were done during the ra

Per-Olof Hedvall ger en inblick i hur universell design startade och hur det tankeskiftet tar klivet in i arbetslivet med UUA. Om hur vi kan göra arbetslivet mer tillgängligt från början och minska risken för kategoriseringar och särbehandling.

Students’ beliefs about division by zero and numbers on the number line werestudied through explanations of the concepts in questionnaires and interviewsduring their teacher education to become primary school teachers in the years4–6. The concepts were chosen for students’ proven cognitive challenges incoping with them, with the aim to add to the existing knowledge in terms ofspecific and general

A continuous monitoring system was installed on the Oseberg ship, a large Viking Age archaeological wooden object (oak), in order to determine the material response to the uncontrolled conditions at the Viking Ship Museum, Oslo, Norway. Four areas have been monitored since July 2009, two boards on the ship and two samples free to deform (recent oak and a sample removed from the ship). Results, rep

This chapter summarizes my doctoral thesis about Universal Design (UD) in Sweden, contributing knowledge about the understanding, implementation, and co-creation of UD. The implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Sweden made UD a guiding principle, necessitating research about the practical side of UD. Using qualitative research methods, interviews and gro

The field of hybrid human-artificial intelligence (HHAI), although primarily driven by developments in AI, also requires fundamentally new approaches and solutions. Multidisciplinary in nature, it calls for collaboration across various research domains, such as AI, HCI, the cognitive and social sciences, philosophy and ethics, and complex systems, to name but a few. This book presents the proceedi

Contemporary ghost stories can be mediated through television series that familiarize viewers with the idea of supernatural/spiritual phenomena, and present a way of witnessing, experiencing and dealing with such phenomena. TheSwedish TV series Det Okända(The Unknown) is an example of such a production. A –presumably –spiritual phenomenon is tailored to fit a popular culture format and is served t

As in most cultural contexts and theoretical conceptualizations of peacebuilding, the fulfilment of justice and the sustainment of peace are intimately related in the Arab-Islamic frame of reference. In the Qur’an and Islamic philosophy, there is a direct correlation between establishing a just social order and the notion of peacebuilding (Abu-Nimer 2006). Guidelines are set forth for building a so

Aim: The aim of the study was to deepen the current knowledge of how patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and long-term oxygen treatment think about and expect end-of-life. Design: A qualitative design was used. Methods: A purposeful sample of 19 patients with oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was obtained from the Swedish National Registry on Respiratory Failur

What are we subjected to when presented with stories about art's past in the context of classrooms or collections? In order to prepare students for a profession in the humanities or in the field of artistic production and reception at large, art history courses in higher education are obliged to provide them with an understanding for the collection of texts, debates or works of art that are consid

Imaging is an integral part of breast cancer diagnosis, staging and follow-up. Breast imaging is also important for radiation therapy planning. The radiation oncologist needs to review patient’s imaging (e.g. mammography) to evaluate the extent of disease (for radiation planning, not for diagnostic purposes) and for treatment planning. Pre-treatment imaging is the key for planning radiation target

The element silicon is everywhere! In fact, silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth’s crust. Silicon in rocks and minerals breaks down and is transported from rivers and streams into the world’s oceans. Many marine organisms need silicon as it is a crucial nutrient to build their skeletons. Silicon eventually reaches the seafloor, but its journey into the abyss is not straightforward

Ecogeographical rules, describing common trends in animal form across space and time, have provided key insights into the primary factors driving species diversity on our planet. Among the most well-known ecogeographical rules are Bergmann's rule and Allen's rule, with each correlating ambient temperature to the size and shape of endotherms within a species. In recent years, these two rules have a
