Designs for Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) are quite well advanced,but the requirements of instruments have had limited impact. Sinceprovision of a suitable environment for instruments is a critical aspectof all telescopes, we outline some well-known and some less-appreciatedchallenges of designing instruments for ELTs. A wide-field spectrometer(WFSPEC) with ~10 arcmin field-of-view, probably w

This paper investigates to what extent and how the sociological perspective of Erving Goffman is represented in Swedish sociology-textbooks and why it is represented the way it is. The investigation has been restricted to central Swedish textbooks during the period 1970-2000 and consequently it does not give a complete picture, but since the choice of textbooks reflects central currents and person

Introduction: Anxiety disorders are common and debilitating in children and adolescents. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), delivered both in-person and by the internet (ICBT), is efficacious, but access for young individuals is limited and it remains unclear how to structure the care pathway to maximize benefit.Methods: To inform a fully powered randomized controlled trial (RCT), a pilot RCT wil

Children and adolescents exposed to traumatic events are at high risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With the rare exception of very young children, their PTSD presentations at the symptom level are similar to those of trauma-exposed adults, as are their patterns of psychiatric comorbidity, particularly for adolescents. Untreated, at least a significant proportion will carry o

Drawing on ethnographic observations in Sweden and affect theory, this study immerses researcher-consumer bodies in extended retail spaces to explore affective encounters. Conceptualizing consumption spaces as affective assemblages, it unveils how affective states of disposition, disorientation, and distress from interactions with socio-material elements shape bodily experiences of inclusion and e

Several methods are routinely used to measure avian body temperature, but different methods vary in invasiveness. This may cause stress-induced increases in temperature and/or metabolic rate and, hence, overestimation of both parameters. Choosing an adequate temperature measurement method is therefore key to accurately characterizing an animal’s thermal and metabolic phenotype. Using great tits (P

By 2050, electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to be 40% of all cars on the road1. In some countries like Norway, more than 90% of the new cars sold are electric2. This rise in EVs presents challenges to the current electricity infrastructure to meet this rapid increase in electricity demand. In this study, we simulate urban residential electricity demand using an agent-based model to investigate t

This study explores structural modifications for reducing train-induced vibrations in timber buildings by modifying the building layout. A parameter study was conducted using a semi-analytical ground model coupled with a finite element structural model. The train load was modeled as a stationary oscillating point load of unit magnitude, applied on the ground surface. The analyzed frequency range,

This study is part of a North West Europe (NWE) Interreg project called NWE-REGENERATIS that aims at the regeneration of past metallurgic sites and deposits through innovative circularity for raw materials. A novel geophysical methodology is developed to allow a 2D or 3D characterization of the recoverable metallic particles in terms of volume, type and grain sizes. We propose to integrate multi-m

This discussion paper recognizes that the Glasgow Consensus Statement is not optimally useful unless it is disseminated widely. Knowledge and use of the consensus statement and its call for centering humanism in healthcare extend to medical and health organizations and groups beyond the International Conference on Communication in Healthcare and Patient Education and Counseling audiences, to profe

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
