Pedagogical development programmes (PDPs) are important for developing teaching skills for university teaching staff. Due to participants’ different teaching roles, their professional development needs and interests may also be different. However, little is known regarding the immediate needs of university teaching staff when they enter PDPs and how these may differ according to their roles. This

Adaptive control is often used for friction compensation in trajectory tracking tasks because it does not require torque sensors. However, it has some drawbacks: first, the most common certainty-equivalence adaptive control design is based on linearized parameterization of the friction model, therefore nonlinear effects, including the stiction and Stribeck effect, are usually omitted. Second, the

Learning robot motions from demonstration requires models able to specify vector fields for the full robot pose when the task is defined in operational space. Recent advances in reactive motion generation have shown that learning adaptive, reactive, smooth, and stable vector fields is possible. However, these approaches define vector fields on a flat Euclidean manifold, while representing vector f

Power sector decarbonisation is crucial for meeting global climate targets under the Paris Agreement as well as ensuring sustainable growth. Electricity and heat account for approximately 40% of energy‐related emissions and demand is only expected to increase, facilitating low‐carbon transitions in other sectors, from transport to industry. In response to the limitations of feed-in tariffs and ren

Achieving a robust ignition with minimal spark plug wear is challenging in heavy duty engines fueled with gaseous fuels like biogas and hydrogen. Thermal energy deposition from the spark to the gas was studied in a 10.9 milliliter custom-built spark calorimeter. An AC capacitive ignition system was used along with a dual-nickel standard J-gap spark plug and the influence of multiple physical and e

Across different domains, justice is considered either from a perspective concerning mind-independent features of a situation or from a perspective related to mind-dependent motives, traits or emotions. Although these approaches have generated valuable insights, they remain largely disconnected from each other. What is missing is an integrative framework that can explain how the objective features

Introduction: Psychological pain is a central risk factor for suicidal behaviour. Nonverbal synchrony between patients and therapists has been shown to facilitate the development of therapeutic alliance, which in turn is linked to symptom reduction. Building on these associations, the present study investigated whether movement synchrony in suicide-specific therapy exceeds random synchrony and whe

The EDI Guidelines (https://www.ediguidelines.se), an outcome of the Swedishgovernment funded practice-based school research project “The Digital Student -Challenges and Opportunities with the Computer as an Instrument in Music Education” (2021-2024), provide a valuable resource for integrating Electronic Digital Instruments (EDI) into music education in upper secondary school. This workshop is de

Swedish Health and Medical Services act states that good care should be given to the entire population on equal terms. Still studies show that access to care in Sweden differ related to for example gender and socioeconomic variables. One of the areas in Swedish health care that has attracted attention for potential inequity in access is Cataract Extraction (CE). Previous studies of access to CE in
