The field of general-purpose robotics has recently embraced powerful probabilistic diffusion-based models to learn the complex embodiment behaviours. However, existing models often come with significant trade-offs, namely high computational costs for inference and a fundamental inability to quantify output uncertainty. We introduce Normalizing Flows Policy (NF-P), a conditional normalizing flow-ba
A thorough understanding of the longitudinal phase space (LPS) of the electron beam is of great advantage to any modern linear accelerator (linac), and of critical importance for operating a free electron laser (FEL). While a transverse deflecting structure (TDS) allows full characterization of a beam’s LPS, measurements with a TDS system are often destructive and operationally complex.

BACKGROUND: Early-life exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may impact the developing lungs and immune system and increase the risk of childhood asthma, but no studies have been conducted in a high-exposed population. The objective of this study was to estimate associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and childhood incidence of asthma and wheeze in Blekinge County, Sweden, whe
The technique to produce hybrid Tulu or Nar camels from crosses between dromedary and Bactrian camels is common throughout Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries. Formerly, these hybrids were highly valued as strong and persistent pack animals but today are bred to improve milk or wool quality in the respective species and for camel wrestling. We developed a diagnostic single nucleotide polymo
Rescue excavations recovered a skeleton that resurrect the contemporary dramatic history of Austria in the 17th century as troops besieged Vienna in the second Osmanic-Habsburg war. Unique for Central Europe is the evidence of a completely preserved camel skeleton uncovered in a large refuse pit. The male individual of slender stature indicates a few but characteristic pathological changes reveali
Sand swimming behaviour occurs in several lizard clades. Known ecological advantages of sand swimming include reduced predation risk and enhanced thermoregulation. We addressed whether, by way of sand abrasion, sand-swimming reduces ectoparasitism in the lizard Microlophus occipitalis, whose natural habitat includes sandy substrates (beach) and firm soil (dry forest). We hypothesised that, aside f
Mauritz Stillers Vingarne är en tidig queerfilm. Men de homoerotiska inslagen förmedlas via ett mytologiskt kodspråk.
Handelns omställning mot mer cirkulära affärsmodeller lyfts ofta fram som en central del i utvecklingen mot en mer hållbar ekonomi. Samtidigt visar praktiken att cirkulär handel innebär betydande utmaningar, inte minst för handelns logistik och operativa strukturer.Denna rapport är resultatet av ett tvåårigt forskningsprojekt som syftar till att öka förståelsen för hur logistiknätverk behöver utfo
Spherical motion is a special case of camera motion where the camera moves on the imaginary surface of a sphere with the optical axis normal to the surface. Common sources of spherical motion are a person capturing a stereo panorama with a phone held in an outstretched hand, or a hemi-spherical camera rig used for multi-view scene capture. However, traditional structure-from-motion pipelines tend
Oenochrominae sensu stricto (s. s.) are a group of robust-bodied geometrid moths found in the Australasian region. However, over the years, there has been a tendency to relegate genera that are difficult to classify under other subfamilies of Geometridae into a taxonomic “trash bin,” referred to as Oenochrominae sensu lato (s. l.). Here, we examine this assemblage of moths, focusing on Australasia
To study adhesion in flexible laminates, standardised peel tests are commonly used where macroscopic measurements, e.g. peel force versus peel arm displacement, are extracted. However, insights into the adhesion mechanisms at the microscopic scale are limited. This study has developed a framework for determining peel arm geometry parameter evolution and deformation in packaging material laminates.
BackgroundSuicide is a leading cause of premature mortality worldwide, but the impact of system-level mental health resources remains unclear despite the central role of psychiatric inpatient care and declining bed capacity. Prior research has yielded inconsistent findings with limited control for confounding. We aimed to estimate the effect of psychiatric inpatient bed availability on suicide mor
This publication presents a collective investigation into contemporary rural transformation developed through a series of design studios at Lund School of Architecture between 2021 and 2025. Focusing on the notion of “new ruralities,” the work explores how changing relationships between habitation, work, mobility, technology, and ecology are reshaping conditions of dwelling in the countryside.The
This exhibition presented the architectural projects and models developed within the Dwelling and Space design studio at Lund School of Architecture. The work explores contemporary rural living through design proposals situated in the village of Grönby.The exhibition was held in Grönby and formed part of an ongoing artistic research investigation into new ruralities. It was organized in collaborat
