The world of games is no longer a males-only field of cultural leisure and labor practices. Many women and girls, and other marginalized groups, have taken console controls to heart and hands, embraced a variety of computer games and player modes, design games and participate in e-sports. The industry and academy and governmental policies have attempted to help balance the gender equality of the f
With increasing urbanisation, cities face unique sustainability challenges and opportunities. The sharing economy emerges as a promising solution that can foster more efficient and circular use of urban resources through car sharing, accommodation rentals and the sharing of physical goods. It scrutinises traditional notions of consumption and ownership, business and community interaction. Digital
Philanthropy for gender causes is recognised as a rising yet understudied phenomenon, especially in the field of social policy. This chapter provides an overview of key interdisciplinary feminist debates on the philanthropic turn to gender equality and women's empowerment. It also presents significant trends, including funding flows towards SDG5, key actors, and geographical areas of investment, a
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly diagnosed early, close to its first occurrence due to: (i) increased public awareness with self-screening; (ii) health care initiatives including population screening and opportunistic case finding; and (iii) increased use and surveillance of implantable cardiac devices. At its onset, AF is often low burden, and cardiovascular co-morbidities may be absent o
We consider the numerical approximation of the stochastic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with additive noise on the one-dimensional torus. The complex nature of the equation means that many of the standard approaches developed for stochastic partial differential equations cannot be directly applied. We use an energy approach to prove an existence and uniqueness result as well as to obtain moment
This Frontiers paper develops a synthesis on deliberating smart knowledge politics for urban transformations, based on a 3-year collaborative research project conducting case studies in cities in the UK, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain (de Hoop et al. 2017). Over the past decade, smart urban initiatives have been presented as a panacea for complex urban challenges (Kummitha and Reddy 20
Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) were introduced as a tool to optimize radiation protection in medical imaging. Conditions for dose assessment have evolved significantly. This study explores how effectively the current DRL system functions and whether it requires adjustment. The analysis focuses on the national DRL system in Sweden and includes European projects and guidelines for reference. The
