This letter proposes a novel, low-cost, single-layer filtering antenna (filtenna) for wireless communications. The design consists of a compact circular substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity, a centrally offset metal post for feeding, and a slot radiator for efficient radiation. It is based on an SIW coaxial line and utilizes multiple TM and quasi-TM modes. Unlike filtennas that rely on inli

A standard analysis of moral responsibility states that an agent A is morally responsible for φ-ing if and only if it is fitting to have—depending on the nature of φ—a negative or positive reactive emotion vis-à-vis A on account of A's φ-ing. Proponents of Alethic views of moral responsibility maintain that the relevant notion of fittingness in the analysis should be understood in terms of accurat

Large intelligent surface (LIS) has gained momentum as a potential 6G-enabling technology that expands the benefits of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). On the other hand, orthogonal space-division multiplexing (OSDM) may give a promising direction for efficient exploitation of the spatial resources, analogous as what is achieved with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)

This chapter, authored by Oksana Mont, explores the sharing of idle household goods through tool and toy libraries, contrasting them with traditional book libraries funded by local governments. Unlike book libraries, tool and toy libraries face challenges in developing sustainable business models while maintaining community-focused values. Drawing from the "Urban Sharing: Sustainability and Instit

Loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) from farmland is a key threat to the capacity of soils to provide ecosystem services and exacerbates climate change. In alignment with a published protocol, we conducted a review and meta-analysis of time series of SOC measurements in long-term agricultural experiments to study absolute SOC changes under different agricultural management regimes. Our results show

Currently, water insecurity is the most common way through which the majority of the global population is experiencing climate change. Projections show that climate change-induced water disasters- floods and droughts chiefly- are expected to increase in the next decades. These circumstances are and will be creating major challenges for peoples’ health and well-being. In this chapter, we present th

BACKGROUND: The first 35 years of pediatric heart transplantation (pHTx) in Sweden were investigated to determine outcomes following listing and transplantation, investigate sub-populations of recipients, and describe the presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in a contemporary cohort.METHODS: Swedish children < 18 years, listed from 1/1/1989 to 31/12/2023, were included. The cohort was split

[Background/Context] AI assistants like GitHub Copilot are transforming software engineering; several studies have highlighted productivity improvements. However, their impact on code quality, particularly in terms of maintainability, requires further investigation. [Objective/Aim] This study aims to examine the influence of AI assistants on software maintainability, specifically assessing how the

Improving spark-ignition engines in terms of efficiency and compatibility with renewable fuels is essential for ensuring energy security, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. However, electrode wear of spark plugs, especially under conditions involving novel fuels and lean mixtures, becomes a significant technical challenge. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the interactions between spark di

Disseminating research in wildlife management is challenging. This study explores how framing four information texts influenced Swedish crop farmers’ (n = 1,182) perceived ability to cope with wild geese, and their behavioral intentions to implement goose damage prevention strategies. A digital survey, based on a before–after randomized controlled trial, evaluated the impact of message framing wit

Public squares are important spaces for social interaction, yet the influence of lighting on people’s experience and social interaction in such spaces after dark is poorly understood. This study examines users’ environmental appraisals and self-reported social interaction in two public squares in Sweden, comparing daylight with electric lighting after dark. The results show that perceived atmosphe
