Democratic argument is not failing for lack of logic. It is failing because the shared ground beneath logic – the premises citizens once held in common – has fractured under information environments engineered for engagement rather than truth. When the same evidence is anchored by incompatible starting points, argument cannot cross; communities harden into fortresses built not from facts, but from
The structure and function of many proteins are regulated post-translationally through glycan attachment. These glycans, assembled via competing enzymatic reactions, generate diverse glycoform populations - variants sharing a protein backbone but differing in glycan structures. While current analyses often focus on individual glycoforms, we demonstrate that population-level glycoform analysis - in
Antibiotic persistence is a phenomenon, where a small fraction of a bacterial population expresses a phenotypic variation that allows them to survive antibiotic treatment, which is lethal to the rest of the population. These cells are called persisters cells, and their occurrence has been associated with recurrent disease. Streptococcus agalactiae is a human pathobiont, able to cause invasive infe
Since the 1980s, financial deregulation and welfare cuts have driven an economic risk shift, requiring individuals to take greater financial responsibility through private savings in stocks and mutual funds. An unexplored aspect of this “financialization of everyday life” is the personal finance advice provided by experts employed by banks and other market-oriented actors. This study examines fina
This thesis examines how the wealthiest apex of the capitalist class, a segment commonly referred to as ‘the super-rich’, is represented in Swedish legacy newspapers. As decades of neoliberal reforms have paved the way for increasing wealth concentration at the very top, the super-rich has emerged as both a material and discursive phenomenon. The news media provides an influential site for studyin
The Amazon is rapidly approaching an ecological tipping point driven by deforestation, forest degradation and global climate change. These are visible issues that receive increasing political and public attention.However, the accelerating biocultural loss in the Amazon, including the extinction of Indigenous languages, the disruption of Indigenous and local knowledge systems, and the disintegratio
Indigenous and Local Knowledge (ILK) is an expression of biocultural diversity and is vital for inclusive and sustainable forest management and epistemic justice. We examine how researchers studying tropical forest fauna engage with ILK and the Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) who are holders of this knowledge. We conducted a systematic review of 62 articles that focus on tropical f
Nanoparticle properties depend strongly on composition, making precise control essential for applications in catalysis, sensing, and electronics. By combining two or more elements in a single particle, synergistic properties can emerge that are inaccessible to the individual constituents. Realising these benefits, however, requires reliable methods for tuning composition at the nanoscale.This thes
Crises narratives surrounding the societal challenges of biodiversity loss, climate change, and human health and well-being dominate current debates in global environmental politics. These challenges are deeply interconnected and require transformative and integrated change. Marine and coastal Nature-based Solutions (blue NbS) are an opportunity to minimise harmful human impacts on these ecosystem
Metal oxide nanoparticles are widely used in catalysis, photovoltaics, and gas sensing, where surface structure and oxidation state strongly influence performance. This work investigates how carrier gas composition, combined with in-flight heating, can be used to control the surface properties of metal oxide nanoparticles generated via the gas-phase method, spark ablation. Sn, Zn, and Al nanoparti
Rapporten visar att det finns en gedigen vetenskaplig evidensbas för att utforma åtgärder inom den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken som bidrar till restaurering av jordbrukslandskap i linje med EU:s naturrestaureringsförordning. Evidensbasen kan stärkas genom en systematisk sammanställning av resultat från restaureringsprojekt, och författarna föreslår adaptiv restaurering för att hantera kontextbero
SLAM is one of the biggest bottlenecks of XR devices, which have strict requirements for latency, power consumption, and user satisfaction. A solution that has been proposed and studied to meet the requirements is to offload SLAM to a remote server, which leverages computational hardware but may suffer due to incurred delays and transmission power. In this work, we propose offloading SLAM using Ma
Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, which take place at particle accelerators like the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), are known to produce a strongly-interacting, fluid-like state of matter referred to as the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Despite the medium’s short lifetime of approximately 10-23 s, its presence is known to influence particle p
Detta kapitel handlar om ”det goda exemplet” som en lösning på diverse samhällsutmaningar och dess något paradoxala relation till utvärdering. Å ena sidan baseras goda exempel ofta på utvärdering, gärna med hänvisning till evidens och vetenskaplighet. Å andra sidan ser vi dels en stor variation i vad som anses vara ett gott exempel, dels ser vi ganska lite referenser till evidens och vetenskapligh
Australia's social media ban is now in force. It requires platforms to take reasonable steps to stop users under 16 from holding accounts. Drawing on five focus groups with fifteen young people aged 12--16, this paper examines how children understood the ban's effectiveness, impact, and legitimacy as they encountered the platforms charged with enforcing it. Participants widely saw the ban as unfai
