När president Trump nyligen fryste drygt 2 miljarder dollar i forskningsmedel till Harvard University var det ett strategiskt drag i en större kamp för att forma akademin politiskt. Att ledningen på Harvard står upp för sin frihet är både modigt och nödvändigt för att forskning alls ska kunna vara fri framöver. När Trump stryper Harvards och andra universitets finansiering, visar han med all önskv

This study investigates the potential of personal cooling solutions to mitigate heat stress in outdoor sporting environments. As global temperatures continue to rise, heat stress has become an increasing concern, particularly in urban environments where outdoor sport can cause significant thermal discomfort. A mixed methods approach was used, including online research, an experimental cooling stud

Det finns ett växande intresse för den roll som lokala aktörer spelar i utformningen av regionala utvecklingsbanor i mindre, perifera regioner. Men, när de strukturella förutsättningarna är begränsade eller ogynnsamma begränsas dock möjligheterna för lokala aktörer. I denna artikel kombinerar vi begreppen agens och möjlighetsutrymme med en processmodell för adaptiva cykler för att identifiera när,There is a growing interest in the role of agency in shaping regional development paths in smaller, peripheral regions. However, when structural pre-conditions are limited or unfavourable, opportunities for local actors are constrained. In this paper, we combine the concepts of agency and opportunity space with a process-model of adaptive cycles in order to identify when, how, and why local actors

Quantum mechanics has been enormously successful. The equations and rules enable accurate calculations and predictions of energies and other properties of atoms, molecules, and materials. Quantum-physics-based technology is an integrated part of our daily lives. Still, the understanding and interpretation of quantum physics offer many challenges, with the counterintuitive consequences of the rules

We introduce a new database of historical Genuine Savings (GS), an indicator of sustainable development promoted by theWorld Bank and widely used in contemporary economic research. GS derives from the theoretical work on wealth accounting, and addresses shortcomings in conventional metrics of economic development by incorporating broader measures of saving and investment, including human capital (

Quantum information science has leaped forward with the exploration of high-dimensional quantum systems, offering greater potential than traditional qubits in quantum communication and quantum computing. To advance the field of high-dimensional quantum technology, a significant effort is underway to progressively enhance the entanglement dimension between two particles. An alternative effective st

Digitalization is shaping the discipline and practice of marketing. Not only does digitalization shape how we shop and consume everything from music to food and mobility services (Cochoy, Hagberg, McIntyre, & Sörum, 2017; Fuentes, Hagberg, & Kjellberg, 2019; Guyader, 2018; Schneider & Eli, 2022), but it has also fundamentally transformed the practices of marketing. Digitalization has c

At the same time, increasingly intrusive data collection techniques have raisedsignificant privacy concerns among consumers and regulators. The result is an increa

There are many laws of physics involved in the design and operation of roller coasters, carousels, and other amusement rides. Physics for the Whole Body in Playgrounds and Amusement Parks teaches these concepts in an exciting and approachable way by linking them with students’ personal experiences of rides in amusement parks.This unique book features:Immersive elements to learn scientific principl

Isotopic differences in the distribution of nuclear charge and magnetization give rise to "hyperfine structure anomalies" which were observed already in the 1950s. More recently, the distribution of nuclear magnetization has been found to complicate the interpretation of the measured hyperfine splittings in highly charged hydrogen-like ions. In this paper, results of numerical calculations for a f

Eating and drinking evoke complex sensory experiences and articulating them through language is often challenging. Differences between laypeople and sensory experts may offer valuable insights into how gustatory experiences are communicated. This is important because describing flavor in clear and shared terms is essential when experts and non-experts need to understand each other, whether in food

Radiative lifetimes have been determined for the 62P12/0 and 62P32/0 levels in Yb II using the method of laser-induced fluorescence from sputtered metal vapour. The results, 8.0(2)ns (62P12/0) and 6.3(3)ns (62P32/0), are compared with lifetimes obtained from ab initio manybody perturbation calculations.
