This chapter challenges the widespread belief that shopping provides lasting happiness and stress relief. This myth, often referred to as ‘retail therapy’, suggests that consumption serves as an effective coping mechanism for emotional distress. Rooted in post-war consumer culture and reinforced by advertising, this idea has normalised the use of material goods to manage emotions, fostering a depe
In this paper we review the physics opportunities at linear e+e− colliders with a special focus on high centre-of-mass energies and beam polarisation, take a fresh look at the various accelerator technologies available or under development and, for the first time, discuss how a facility first equipped with a technology that is mature today could be upgraded with technologies of tomorrow to reach m
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging shows myocardial fibrosis and is associated with outcome in repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rToF). However, patients with rToF have surgical material implanted, also appearing bright in LGE images. Therefore, right ventricular myocardial fibrosis could be overestimated or falsely diagnosed, which may affect prognostic va
The Swedish music and arts school (SAMS) has been described as “a foundation for Swedish culture, where children and youth are given opportunities to express themselves through dance, fine art, drama, music or other art forms” (Öhrman & Holmdahl, 2022, s. 103). Current debates have questioned SAMS capacity to meet contemporary needs, revolving around themes such as broadening of target groups,The Swedish music and arts school (SAMS) has been described as “a foundation for Swedish culture, where children and youth are given opportunities to express themselves through dance, fine art, drama, music or other art forms” (Öhrman & Holmdahl, 2022, s. 103).

I dagens välfärdstjänster har synen på användaren i allt högre grad förskjutits från en passiv mottagare till en aktiv deltagare i värdeskapande. Denna förskjutning återspeglas i policyreformer, organisatoriska strategier och akademisk diskurs, vilka alla i ökande grad betonar användarorientering. Inom det teoretiska ramverket Public Service Logic (PSL) framställs användarorientering som ett sätt In today’s welfare services, how the user is viewed has increasingly been shifting away from a passive recipient towards an active participant in value creation. This shift is reflected in policy reforms, organisational strategies, and academic discourse, with all of these placing a growing emphasis on user orientation. Within the theoretical framework of Public Service Logic (PSL), user orientati
This chapter challenges the widely held belief that more consumer choices lead to better outcomes. This chapter explores how the proliferation of options, while seemingly empowering, can actually lead to decision paralysis, dissatisfaction and unsustainable consumption patterns. The myth is rooted in classical economic theories that equate more choice with freedom and personal satisfaction, but ps
BACKGROUND: HYPO-RT-PC is a phase 3 trial comparing ultra-hypofractionated and conventionally fractionated radiotherapy in intermediate-to-high-risk localised prostate cancer. This 10-year update reports long-term efficacy and toxicity outcomes.METHODS: In this open-label, randomised, phase 3, non-inferiority trial done in ten centres in Sweden and two in Denmark, we recruited men aged 75 years or
We present the characterisation of the TOI-6041 system, a bright (V = 9.84 ± 0.03) G7-type star hosting at least two planets. The inner planet, TOI-6041 b, is a warm Neptune with a radius of 4.55-0.17+0.18 R⊕, initially identified as a single-transit event in TESS photometry. Subsequent observations with TESS and CHEOPS revealed additional transits, enabling the determination of its 26.04945-0.000
Background: Globally, undernutrition is responsible for over 3.5 million deaths among children under the age of 5. In Mozambique, it remains a major contributing factor to the high rates of child mortality and illness. Essential micronutrients like zinc, iron, and calcium play a vital role in healthy growth and development. However, their absorption is hindered by anti-nutrients such as phytates,
High-risk neuroblastoma is characterized by MYCN amplification and high MYCN or MYC gene expression. These patients have a poor prognosis and there is an urgent need for more effective drugs. While strategies to develop inhibitors that directly target the MYC proteins have remained largely unsuccessful, recent preclinical studies have identified ATR, a key protein of the DNA damage response, as a
Studies of the surface chemistry of the first few cycles of atomic layer deposition (ALD) using in situ and time-resolved operando techniques are attractive for realizing, understanding, and obtaining true mechanistic information during the deposition. However, the latter techniques are yet to be applied to ALD of metal nitrides. Here, we present a surface-chemistry investigation through a time-re
Summary: In this meta-analysis of international cohorts, current smoking is confirmed as a significant BMD-independent predictor of future fracture with a stronger relationship in men than in women. A causative and reversible effect of smoking on fracture risk is suggested by past smoking having a significantly lower risk than current smoking. Purpose: In this meta-analysis of international cohort
This thesis consists of three self-contained papers that study the role of culture in economics by examining how culture shapes responses to policies, how public interventions influence cultural identity, and how cultural persistence affects economic behavior and policy outcomes. The first chapter examines the political consequences of symbolic changes to public space in Spain, focusing on the ren
The article consists of six core sections. Firstly, it argues for examining the language, origin, use and meaning of key concepts when seeking to understand historical perspectives. Secondly, is a concrete investigation of three concepts related to the French Revolution: ‘historical monument’, ‘vandalism’, and ‘heritage’. Thirdly, it describes how ‘historical monument’ was replaced by ‘heritage’ aThe article consists of six core sections.

Heat pumps are a key technology for decarbonizing residential heating, yet their diffusion remains limited in many countries, partly due to challenges of public acceptance and legitimacy. This study tracks how heat pumps are portrayed in German public discourse by analyzing sentiment in online news coverage. We compile a corpus of 33,131 German heat pump–related news articles published between 201
The aim of this thesis was to investigate how the dimensions, placement and orientation of a combustible material can affect both fire characteristics such as flame height and heat release rate, and material characteristics such as surface lining classification. The extent of the effects was examined using a simplified version of a Single Burning Item (SBI) test. Several experiments were conducted
Background: Repetitive and monotonous work is often associated with neck pain, potentially resulting in sick leave and reduced productivity. Establishing appropriate muscle activity patterns, including duration and frequency of breaks that can prevent neck pain development, is important for providing workplace guidance. While several smaller studies addressing monotonous neck-loading work have ind
BACKGROUND: Rapeseed is the second most cultivated oilseed globally after soybean and a protein-rich press cake is generated after liberation of the oil. However, its use in food applications is limited by high levels of anti-nutrients such as glucosinolates and phytic acid. Although differences between botanical varieties are known, controlled comparisons of modern spring varieties for protein fu
