The regional development studies community increasingly focuses on the significance of agency when investigating why some regions or cities develop better or worse than others. Undoubtedly, this line of research increases our understanding of the relations and interplay between human actions and socially produced structures. The articles in this special issue follow this research agenda by focusin
A growing body of research suggests that the global conception of climate change is increasingly taking a justice-focus. However, the justice-framings of different actors in the UNFCCC process and their evolution have not yet been examined. We conduct a critical discourse analysis of climate justice claims of state and non-state actors in COP15, COP19, COP21 and COP24 which are key moments for cli
In flowering plants that produce concealed rewards, pollinator foraging preferences may select for floral advertisement traits that are correlated with rewards. To date, studies have not focused on the potential for honest signals to vary across populations, which could occur due to differences in pollinator communities or plant mating system. We tested for variation in honest signals across and w
Online engagement with criminal cases is often interpreted in either punitive or crowdsourcing terms, but interactionist and ethnomethodological analyses can disclose other and more fundamental aspects. This chapter looks closely at a particular practice among posters on the Swedish platform Flashback: that of summing up the discussion ‘so far’.

Introduction: Coeliac disease is a lifelong immune-mediated enteropathy manifested as gluten intolerance in individuals carrying specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules. Other factors than genetics and gluten intake, however, may play a role in triggering the disease. The gut internal environment is thought to be one of these potential contributing factors, and it can be influenced throug
FlexPES is a soft X-ray beamline on the 1.5 GeV storage ring at MAX IV Laboratory, Sweden, providing horizontally polarized radiation in the 40-1500 eV photon energy range and specializing in high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy, fast X-ray absorption spectroscopy and electron-ion/ion-ion coincidence techniques. The beamline is split into two branches currently serving three endstations, wit
SARS-CoV-2 and its ever-emerging variants are spread from host-to-host via expelled respiratory aerosols and saliva droplets. Knowing the number of virions which are exhaled by a person requires precise measurements of the size, count, velocity and trajectory of the virus-laden particles that are ejected directly from the mouth. These measurements are achieved in 3D, at 15,000 images/s, and are ap
Objective: This multicenter international study aimed to describe outcomes of fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repairs (FB-EVAR) in a cohort of patients treated for chronic post-dissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (PD-TAAAs). Methods: We reviewed the clinical data of all consecutive patients treated by FB-EVAR for repair of extent I to III PD-TAAAs in 16 centers from the United St
The European Respiratory Society (ERS) celebrated the return of an in-person meeting in Barcelona, Spain, after 2 years of virtual congresses. The ERS Congress 2022 programme was replete with symposia, skills workshops and abstract presentations from all 14 assemblies, encompassing over 3000 abstracts presented in the form of thematic poster discussion and oral presentations. In this article, high
The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated the lack of knowledge regarding the airborne transmission pathway of disease. The pathway consists of pathogens contained in small particles ejected when speaking and coughing. A crucial characteristic of these particles is their size that is connected to the their suspension longevity in the air as well as the location of generation and deposition within a su
A deeper understanding of the differences between quantum and classical dynamics promises great potential for emerging technologies. Nevertheless, some aspects remain poorly understood, particularly concerning the role of quantum coherence in open quantum systems. On the one hand, coherence leads to entanglement and even nonlocality. On the other, it may lead to a suppression of fluctuations, caus
Under covid-19-pandemin blev många anställda rekommenderade eller tvingade att arbeta på distans (Fackförbundet ST, 2020; Wang m.fl., 2021). Sammantaget arbetade 30–40 procent av arbetstagarna hela eller delar av sin arbetstid på distans under pandemin (Myndigheten för arbetsmiljökunskap, 2021). Den fysiska arbetsplatsen var inte längre en självklarhet; från en dag till en annan blev i stället dis
Dataspelsbranschen beskrivs som både en kulturell näring och som en del av tech-industrin. De olika beskrivningarna ger skilda associationer och illustrerar branschens många sidor. Det är också illustrativt för arbetet som spelutvecklare, vilket ofta beskrivs som en skärningspunkt mellan såväl konstnärligt arbete och teknik, som mellan kultur och kommers. I ett pågående forskningsprojekt om spelut
BACKGROUND/AIM: Opioid overdose deaths have increased in Sweden and other developed countries in recent decades, despite increased treatment efforts and harm-reduction interventions. Further knowledge in this field is needed if this trend is to be reversed. Previous research suggests that mental health and patterns of prescription of opioids and other prescription drugs are associated with increas
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a relatively new approach to analyze gene expression data that models data by additive combinations of non-negative basis vectors (metagenes). The non-negativity constraint makes sense biologically as genes may either be expressed or not, but never show negative expression. We applied NMF to five different microarray data sets. We estimated the appropriat
