The academic interest in remote work has drastically increased over recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing studies have proven that remote work has advantages and disadvantages for employers and employees. However, little is known about the influence of remote work and the relevant factors in the context of newcomers and their organizational socialization. Building on th
In this blog, Jason Tucker, Associate Senior Lecturer at Malmö University, challenges the ways in which the international community programmatically engages with stateless refugees. Drawing on his research investigating the governance of stateless refugees, Jason argues that the statelessness of stateless refugees is systematically and chronically under-valued, sometimes with devastating consequen
On October 9, 2023, Harvard University Professor Claudia Goldin received the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, a landmark achievement that not only celebrates her outstanding contributions but also highlights the profound impact an economist can have on society.
Summary Successful malaria transmission from the mosquito vector to the mammalian host depends crucially on active sporozoite motility. Sporozoite locomotion and host cell invasion are driven by the parasite's own actin/myosin motor. A unique feature of this motor machinery is the presence of very short subpellicular actin filaments. Therefore, F-actin stabilizing proteins likely play a central ro
Changes in biomarker levels of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) reflect underlying pathophysiological changes in the brain and can provide evidence of direct and downstream treatment effects linked to disease modification. Recent results from clinical trials of anti–amyloid β (Aβ) treatments have raised the question of how to best characterize the relationship between AD biomarkers and clinical endpoints.
Around midnight of 9 January 1959, the Vega de Tera dam broke, releasing nearly 8 million cubic metres of water that destroyed the Spanish town of Ribadelago, killing 144 people. To this day, it remains the worst dam-related failure of the past two centuries of Spanish history. In this chapter we expand the time frame of the disaster, moving from a one-day narrative to focus on the processes of re
BACKGROUND: Achalasia is a rare motility disorder of the esophagus. The diagnosis involves clinical suspicion based on history details and results of high-resolution manometry (HRM) as recommended by the Chicago classification (CCv4.0). Interpreting data obtained through HRM can be complex especially for the novice user.METHODS: We propose therefore a color-based algorithm involving the "reversed
One of the main challenges as the market for fully commercial electrified vehicles quickly expands is predicting the electromagnetic interference (EMI) in traction voltage systems (TVSs) in differential mode (DM) and common mode (CM). The number of subsystems connected to vehicle TVSs is increasing, and thus, so are the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. These requirements should ma
Occupancy is one of the primary contributors to the energy performance gap, defined as the difference between actual and predicted energy usage, in buildings. This paper limits its scope to residential buildings, where occupant-centric consumption often goes unaccounted for in standard energy metrics. This paper starts from the hypothesis that a simple occupant energy efficiency label is needed to
Aim of the review: To provide an overview of studies that have published dataregarding region and population size, procedure location, team composition, inclusionand exclusion criteria, outcome parameters, and cost–benefit analyses onextracorporeal membrane oxygenation use for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Data sources: A structured systematic literature search of articles published pr
This study examines how AI for minors is framed by AI companies and constructed in public discourse in China and the United States. Using Rhetorical Arena Theory and framing theory, the study analyses corporate communication from four AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Doubao) together with public discourse materials, including mainstream media, NGO reports, and online commentary. Reflexive
Atmospheric particles play a significant role in radiative forcing through light scattering and new methods are called for to better characterize their impact. Typical Lidar systems emit single wavelength light, not utilizing full spectral information from scattering measurements. This thesis aims to use a hyperspectral lidar system to measure the spectral dependence of scattering and absorption
Zinc-Manganese dioxide (MnO₂) batteries have garnered significant interest due to their high energy density, low cost and low toxicity. Crystalline MnO₂ has shown structural transformations during the intercalation and deintercalation of Zn, which influences the performance of the battery. Recent studies have demonstrated that amorphous MnO₂ shows better Zn storage capacity due to an increase in s
Achieving meaningful curriculum internationalization requires moving beyond siloed, ad-hoc efforts, such as relying solely on the International Office, especially when it comes to addressing the key issue of engaging faculty in internationalization efforts. Instead, faculty involvement in curriculum internationalization is best garnered through planning that leverages institutional synergy.To guid
Language-based assessments (LBAs), quantitative estimates of scientific constructs based on language, have advanced methods in the psychological and social sciences for more than a decade. LBAs based on individuals’ prompted descriptions analyzed with large language models to produce scores of their psychological states and traits have shown strong convergence with the corresponding rating scales
We used national Swedish registry data to investigate the nature of the association between pregnancy and decreased risk for suicide attempt (SA). Analyses included pregnant individuals aged 18–35, biological fathers, and matched controls born 1975–1995. Data were available for between 366,125 and 2,129,244 females (depending on the model) and 359,622 males. We evaluated risk for SA as a function
