Although very few people appear to travel to the Nordic region in contexts that might accurately be described as ‘climate-related,' some Nordic states have developed bespoke legal provisions, and all have ‘exceptional grounds’ categories that may be applied when people seek to enter or remain in the context of climate change or disaster. This chapter provides a brief overview of legal provisions r
Collaboration across disciplines and stakeholders is important in handling complex societal problems. Even if collaborating is acknowledged as contributing towards societal change and innovation, collaborators’ emotional experiences during development, consolidation and completion of a given project are underexplored. This article discusses emotional labour in three cross-sectoral collaborations u
In October 2023, Claudia Goldin, professor at Harvard University, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, in recognition of her pioneering contributions to economics, particularly for her in-depth analysis of women’s place in the labor market. Goldin explored the evolution of women’s income and participation in the labor market over the long term, highlighting the causes of these changes
Two concurrent trends may fundamentally change how we understand the role of solar PV at high latitudes. Until now, relatively low annual insolation in combination with low electricity demand during the summer months has not favoured PV in the Arctic. However, continued decreases in costs for PVs in combination with increasing electricity demand from industrial electrification is quickly changing
The projected ocean acidification (OA) associated with increasing atmospheric CO2 alters seawater chemistry and hence the bio-toxicity of metal ions. However, it is still unclear how OA might affect the long-term resilience of globally important marine microalgae to anthropogenic metal stress. To explore the effect of increasing pCO2 on copper metabolism in the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana (CCM
This study reports thermodynamic and kinetic data of Sb(III) adsorption from single metal solutions onto synthetic aqueous goethite (α-FeOOH). Batch equilibrium sorption experiments were carried out at 25 °C over a Sb:Fe molar range of 0.005-0.05 and using a goethite concentration of 0.44 g Fe/L. Experimental data were successfully modelled using Langmuir (R2 ≥ 0.891) and Freundlich (R2 ≥ 0.990) i
The anisotropic optical absorption edge of β-Ga2O3 follows a modified Beer-Lambert law having two effective absorption coefficients. The absorption coefficient of linearly polarized light reduces to the least absorbing direction beyond a critical penetration depth, which itself depends on polarization and wavelength. To understand this behavior, a Stokes vector analysis is performed to track the p
Denna avhandling undersöker 1998 års svenska förbud mot sexköp utifrån den uppmärksamhet lagen fått som ett unikt tillvägagångssätt för att reglera prostitution, den starkt polariserade politiska miljö den existerar inom och de många juridiska motsägelser den uppvisar. Genom material insamlat genom en multisituerad metod mellan åren 2009 och 2019 visar studien att sexköpsförbudet är en variant av This essay thesis examines Sweden’s 1999 ban on purchasing sexual services, considering the attention it received as an unprecedented approach to governing prostitution, the highly polarised political environment in which it exists, and the multiple legal contradictions it displays. Using material gathered through a multisited method from 2009 through 2019, the study shows that the offence is a va
The Global ECT MRI Research Collaboration (GEMRIC) has collected clinical and neuroimaging data of patients treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) from around the world. Results to date have focused on neuroimaging correlates of antidepressant response. GEMRIC sites have also collected longitudinal cognitive data. Here, we summarize the existing GEMRIC cognitive data and provide recommendati
EU law has developed with close ties to economic growth, and relatedly, various scholars have historically expressed critiques which would today be considered part of the Law and Political Economy approach. What is starkly absent from the relevant critiques is the way in which EU law regulates the migration phenomenon and its relation to the market. Migration law scholarship has been focusing on t
We analysed the human milk microbiome in a cohort of 80 lactating women and followed the dynamics in taxa over the course of lactation from birth to 6 months. Two hundred and thirty one milk samples were collected from full-term lactating women at 1, 4, 8 and 24 weeks following birth and analysed for microbiota composition using 16S rRNA sequencing. A significant decrease in milk microbiota divers
The 494 km long Latvian coast consists of sandy sediments, which serve as an excellent proxy for past coastal events and environment. Our study explores these understudied sediments along the western coast of the Gulf of Riga and combines two sand quartz-wise methods: optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating and grain microtextures. We provide a new chronology and microsedimentary results to
The central complex (CX), a remarkable brain region at the core of insect behaviors, has been the subject of extensive research for decades. In this review, we offer a comprehensive historical perspective on the anatomy, development, and function of the CX. The CX consists of discrete and highly structured neuropils found at the center of the brain, which are conserved across insects and arthropod
In unconventional superconductors, coupled charge and lattice degrees of freedom can manifest in ordered phases of matter that are intertwined. In the cuprate family, fluctuating short-range charge correlations can coalesce into a longer-range charge density wave (CDW) order which is thought to intertwine with superconductivity, yet the nature of the interaction is still poorly understood. Here, b
This study investigates subject use in [-topic shift] and [+topic shift] contexts in Standard Italian and Venetian - two close varieties which differ in their use of overt and null pronouns. In an acceptability judgment, we compare two groups of bilectals in their two varieties: children aged 7-12 years, divided in strong and weak dialect speakers, and an adult control group. All groups show diffe
