Active small bodies in extrasolar systems, the extrasolar analogues of Solar System comets, provide insights into the orbital evolution and physical processes shaping planetary systems. Since the discovery of exocomets around β Pictoris, these small, icy bodies have shown the potential to become key probes for understanding planetary formation and migration. This review presents an overview of cur
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a 3-month post-hip arthroscopy rehabilitation program within a randomized controlled trial comparing hip arthroscopy to sham surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (HIP ARThroscopy International [HIPARTI] trial) by describing exercise adherence, type, and pain; 6-month changes in International Hip Outcome Tool-33 (iHOT-33); and physical impairments and functiona
This paper explores the sociability among Shi`i women in Kuwait by examining non-mourning rituals such as the Taklif ceremony and the celebrations of Imam births. Using sociability as an analytical framework, the study highlights how these joyous events foster a sense of belonging, social cohesion, and religious devotion, contrasting them with the predominantly studied mourning rituals associated
Introduction: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease, preceded by the presence of islet autoantibodies, a preclinical state defined as islet autoimmunity. Several environmental exposures have been associated with the initiation of islet autoimmunity but the triggers remain largely unknown. Rapid growth and weight gain during childhood are some of the exposures that have been proposed to p
Tendons adapt their structure and mechanical behavior in response to mechanical loading, where mechanical stimuli, such as strain, are believed to play a pivotal role. Recent studies employing finite element modeling have provided detailed insights into the distribution of strain across tendon structures under various loading conditions. However, most researchers have adopted highly simplified geo
The interplay between electronic correlations and topology is a central topic in the study of quantum materials. In this Letter, we investigate the impact of the orbital-selective Mott phase (OSMP) on the topological properties of FeTe1-xSex (FTS), an iron chalcogenide superconductor known to host both nontrivial Z2 topology and strong electronic correlations. Using angle-resolved photoemission sp
Rapid advances in tissue preservation and the growing adoption of machine perfusion have fundamentally reshaped solid-organ and tissue transplantation in recent years. Multiple short-term perfusion devices have received regulatory approval and are increasingly used in clinical practice to preserve grafts for several hours, improving allograft assessment. The boundaries of dynamic tissue preservati
Background Patients with mental illness face a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), mainly due to unhealthy lifestyle habits. The CVD risk assessment tool Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation 2 (SCORE2) does not assess modifiable lifestyle factors beyond smoking. In Sweden, Targeted Health Dialogues (THD) are used in primary care as a structured, person-centred approach designed to evaluate
Efficient generation of LHC events is hindered by the rapidly rising cost of evaluating QCD matrix elements with increasing multiplicity. We build on a recently proposed two-step strategy in which unweighted events are first generated using the leading-colour (LC) approximation and then reweighted to full-colour (FC) accuracy, utilising the LC integration efficiency while recovering the exact FC p
The continuum mechanics fatigue model operates on state variables that are continuous in time, unlike cycle-counting-based methods that rely on deconstructing stress histories into a set of distinct cycles. This way, the continuum-based approach provides a modeling framework that, in principle, can handle arbitrary stress histories. Despite its successful application for a wide range of problems,
Treatment wetlands are widely used for greywater treatment in Europe, but upcoming stricter nutrient limits in the revised EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (EU 2024/3019) raise questions about their ability to meet future standards. This is especially relevant as interest increases in scaling systems beyond 1,000 PE and in reusing treated greywater, which under the EU Water Reuse Regulation
Objectives: To investigate if sociodemographic factors are associated with selection to an interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program (IPRP) in Swedish tertiary care, in an intersectional perspective. Methods: This study involved 39,346 patients referred to tertiary care, who were registered in the Swedish Quality Registry for Pain Rehabilitation during 2009–2016. Self-reported sociodemographic
Hur ett flerbostadshus från miljonprogrammet kan energieffektiviseras genom att renovera fasadväggarnas klimatskal undersöks i denna studie. Denna renovering ska ske med material som har en så liten klimatpåverkan som möjligt ur ett livscykelperspektiv. Anledningen är att göra renoveringen så aktuell som möjligt genom att vara anpassad efter dagens problem och behov gällande klimatomställningen saAlthough the Swedish building sector is today one of the cleanest in Europe, there remain many areas for improvement. The building sector currently accounts for 22.1% of Sweden’s total CO2 equivalent emissions, of which 28% stems from renovation and another 28% from heating. Combined with the deteriorating condition of Sweden’s Miljonprogram housing stock and its already substantial need for renov

This thesis investigates the nature of the urban development process of Kigali, Rwanda, with an emphasis on the regularisation of Kigali’s informal settlements. Specifically, it seeks to answer what the current state of knowledge globally of regularisation is, and what actors and factors influence the urban development process in Kigali, from the perspective of urban planning and land management,
The Readiness 2030 initiative, launched in March 2025, proposed unprecedented levels of European defence investment and integration in a historically constrained domain. This thesis analyses how the European Commission discursively constructed and legitimised increased defence imperatives through its official policy communication on this initiative. It thereby investigates discursive legitimation
Within the field of Strategic Communication, geopolitical rivalries are increasingly understood as struggles for narratives and discursive dominance. This thesis explores a critical juncture in this landscape: the period between late 2025 and early 2026, marked by US President Donald Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland, stating the US would take it “one way or another”. The study examines ho
This study addresses a gap in existing research by examining how generative AI contributes to the construction and representation of a company’s brand. The research question is as follows: “How do generative AI descriptions align with, contribute to or deviate from a company’s intended corporate brand image and brand identity?”. Using a qualitative research design in the form of a case study of Ma
Luxury brands have increasingly become associated with criminal environments and gang culture in Swedish media and public discourse, raising questions about how consumers interpret and negotiate brand meanings when they are reshaped beyond organisational control. This study examines how consumers construct luxury brand meanings, how they negotiate these meanings across different cultural contexts,
When nationwide protests erupted across Indonesia in August–September 2025 triggered by parliamentary pay rises and the death of a civilian under a police vehicle, the Indonesian government faced one of the most visible legitimacy challenges of the post-Reformasi era. Drawing on Suchman's (1995) typology of pragmatic, moral, and cognitive legitimacy and Weber's account of legitimacy as the
