The growing demand for sustainable construction materials has led to an increased interest in utilizing wood in façade applications. Wood in façade applications can be treated with impregnation to enhance its fire performance; however, concerns surrounding fire safety necessitate a comprehensive understanding of how impregnated wood materials evolve over time in outdoor environments. This study, p

The study investigates temporal aspects of home care in Sweden, as experienced and interpreted by older care users. Data consists of 34 interviews with 36 care users and 15 participant observations during home visits by care staff. By focusing on care users’ recalibration of time and events, the analysis identifies a form of interpreted experience – here termed ‘home care time’ – that comprises tw

PurposeCare has been theorized as a relational practice, but the research has focused on providers rather than users. Older care users have been cast in a passive role, and their relational activities to help with the provision of their care or to support those who provide it are underexplored. The purpose of this study is to develop knowledge about home care use as a form of relational ‘work’.Met

Some years ago, I was asked to be a junior researcher in a European research project about interdisciplinarity. I was delighted, of course, and excited about the opportunity to explore the problems and possibilities of interdisciplinarity. On the afternoon of the same day, I had a meeting with two experienced academics. I told them I had been invited to take part in a research project and both ent

Moving into a nursing home is a significant transition for older people which can be emotional and stressful. The literature on the decision to move and subsequent residential stress focuses on the time after admission; however, there is less understanding of older people’s management of the process.

Att vara chef är en komplex och mångfacetterad uppgift (Andersson et al. 2020; Sandahl & von Knorring 2023; Yukl, 2019; Velten et al. 2017). Chefers arbetsliv beskrivs med ord såsom ad-hoc, fragmenterad, stressfullt, med mera (Arman et al., 2012; Cregårda och Corin, 2019). Tid finns sällan att stanna upp och reflektera över sin arbetssituation vilket leder till en upplevelse att egna tankar, k

Gender inflection for animated nouns in Italian presents challenges influenced by societal pressures and linguistic structure, especially in morphologically complex words like compounds. The study investigates gender inflection distribution in compounds with capo- compared to other nouns (i.e., occupations traditionally performed by women, by men, and the word capo in isolation), exploring the int

This study introduces a progressive methodology for examining the travel behaviour of bicyclists and pedestrians under both daylight and electric lighting conditions. By analysing data from naturalistic/undisturbed settings, we aimed to assess the representativeness of participant behaviour in an invited context compared to that of typical road users.

Michael Unterguggenberger was raised in semi-poverty, yet grew to make money for the unemployed and destitute. He had no formal education, yet lived to prove an advanced knowledge of money. Shattering economic crisis marked his life, yet he managed to accomplish what many described as an economic miracle. His monetary experiment succeeded in repairing the economic ills of the time, yet was soon ba

Publishing preprints is quickly becoming commonplace in ecology and evolutionary biology. Preprints can facilitate the rapid sharing of scientific knowledge establishing precedence and enabling feedback from the research community before peer review. Yet, significant barriers to preprint use exist including language barriers, a lack of understanding about the benefits of preprints and a lack of di

Utifrån självbiografier från svenska straffångar beskrivs vad som kunde hända bakom kulisserna på 1800-talets häkten och fängelser. Mutor, korruption, tjuvnyp och misshandel men också en och annan kärlekshistoria.

Elsa af Trolle var en av de många kvinnor som drogs till journalistiken som utkomstmöjlighet under mellankrigstiden. Hon var även översättare och författare men mest lyckad som skribent, särskilt i den långa sviten av naturkrönikor eller -kåserier som publicerades i Aftonbladet under 1930- till 1950-talet.

I spåren av ransonering och materialbrist under andra världskriget uppmanade modetidningarna svenskarna att hushålla med sina resurser och planera nyinköp noga. I stället för att som vanligt locka med nya varor rådde de nu läsarna att återbruka och sy om sina befintliga plagg. Men ju längre kriget pågick desto tydligare syntes en längtan efter mer flärdfullhet, färg och glädje i modet.
