A minute-resolution downscaling algorithm for high-resolution global irradiance time series

Numerous studies have demonstrated the significant impact of the resolution of solar irradiation data on the outcomes of hourly production models. Accurate integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems sometimes demands a high-resolution global horizontal irradiance (GHI) time series to capture the rapid fluctuations in PV power output induced by swift irradiance changes. Most of the available database

Comparative study on building permit processes in Europe

The issuance of building permits is a crucial process for urban development in accordance with the law and sustainability goals. Building permits in Europe involve a complex tapestry of processes, regulations, and methodologies. Despite its critical role in shaping the urban landscape, detailed investigations of building permitting process have been scarce. This gap in knowledge not only hinders t

Collective Asymmetric Synthesis of Thiosilvatins

Abstract Thiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products. The first members were reported over 40?years ago, but total synthesis of a thiosilvatin has remained elusive. Here, we describe the first, collective, synthesis of the parent epidithiodiketopiperazine (?)-dithiosilvatin and ten related thiosilvatins. Several of the targets are structurally rThiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products. The first members were reported over 40 years ago, but total synthesis of a thiosilvatin has remained elusive. Here, we describe the first, collective, synthesis of the parent epidithiodiketopiperazine (−)-dithiosilvatin and ten related thiosilvatins. Several of the targets are structurally revis

Blame and Proportionality

The ethics of blame includes conditions determining whether an instance of blame is permissible. One generally recognised condition is that blame should be proportionate. If it is not proportionate, that speaks against its permissibility. All the same, what exactly amounts to proportionate blame is currently under-theorised. In this paper, we aim to amend this. More precisely, we distinguish betwe

Assimilation and value of injection response data for enhanced contaminated site characterization

Collecting detailed hydrogeological data before, during, and after remediation campaigns is essential for effective management and monitoring of contaminated sites. As in-situ remediation injection treatment becomes more popular, recording the hydraulic response during these events offers an opportunity to collect detailed data on hydrogeological parameters. Often, multiple injections are performe

Asymmetric temperature effect on leaf senescence and its control on ecosystem productivity

Widespread autumn cooling occurred in the northern hemisphere (NH) during the period 2004-2018, primarily due to the strengthening of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and Siberian High. Yet, while there has been considerable focus on the warming impacts, the effects of natural cooling on autumn leaf senescence and plant productivity have been largely overlooked. This gap in knowledge hinders our un

The market that could be but is not : market failure as ontological politics and the reconfiguration of public transport in Stockholm

Market failure is a concept invoked in both economics and public policy to justify governmental interventions in the marketplace. Drawing on more than five years of qualitative research on public transport in Stockholm, this paper explores how market failure, operating as a form of folk theory within public policy, informed a legal reform. This reform aimed to reconfigure an established contractua

Glancing back, looking forward : The Swedish Academy Dictionary completed after 130 years – now time for revision

The first part of the first volume of the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was published in 1893 and the last volume was finished in 2023. Thus Sweden’s most extensive lexicographical project was completed after more than 130 years of work. But the completion is not the end of the dictionary project. Since 2024 a revision project is launched.

Figurative, Transferred or Extended use? : The Use of Semantic Labels in the First Edition and the Revised Version of the Swedish Academy Dictionary

In this paper, a doctoral study on the description of semantic change in the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) is presented. The starting point for the study is semantic labels like figurative and in extended use. Five such labels in SAOB are examined, mainly with methods from the cognitive linguistic framework. The results show, among other things, that the most labelled mechanism is metaphor, th

Report on the Revision of the Swedish Academy Dictionary – and the Search for “Old Neologisms”

In 2023, the first edition of the diachronic-contemporary Swedish AcademyDictionary (SAOB) was finished after more than 130 years of work. The dictionary contains over 500,000 entries and describes the Swedish language from the 1520s to the present day. However, a consequence of the extended time of publication is that a significant part of the content, in particular in the first volumes, was out In 2023, the first edition of the diachronic-contemporary Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was finished after more than 130 years of work.

Därför blomstrar det statslösa språket

Berättelsen om Katalonien har under senare år handlat om försöken att bryta sig loss från Spanien. Men vid sidan om de politiska slitningarna har regionens litteratur fått stort genomslag, inte minst genom den katalanskspråkiga författaren Irene Solà. Kanske närmar vi oss en ny renaixença?

Inget kan bota den kulturella melankolin

Henrik Brandão Jönsson blandar kulturhistoria, reseskildring, migrationsberättelse och självreflektion. Hans nya bok kretsar kring det djupt emotionella begreppet saudade. Christian Claesson läser en bok om att längta bort och hem samtidigt.

A summary of the environmental history of the Skagi peninsula, northern Iceland, 11,300-7800 BP

A summary is presented of the Late Weichselian and early Holocene changes of vegetation, climate and sea level on the Skagi peninsula, northern Iceland, as reflected in bio- and lithostratigraphic data from five sediment sequences. The period 11,300-10,900 BP was characterized by grass-tundra vegetation and low lake productivity, indicating cold climatic conditions. Milder conditions after 10,900
