This study explores how urban branding intervenes in the formation and realization of migration aspirations and capabilities among talent migrants, using Chengdu as a case study. Based on the Aspirations–Capabilities framework, this study applies mixed-methods analysis, combining quantitative data analysis, digital ethnography (analyzing government urban branding narratives and post-migrants’ expe

High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs) have emerged as a promising class of materials for extreme environments due to their unique compositional complexity and the resultant enhanced thermal stability. Among them, AlCoCrFeNi has garnered significant attention for its superior oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures, primarily owing to the formation of protective alpha alumina (Al₂O₃) surface oxide s

The understanding of solid state physics is a significant part of understanding the foundations of modern technology and engineering. Applications of solid state physics are broad; it includes solar panels, laser technology, transistors, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and many more, all of which have been significant technological advancements that have offered people efficient and useful devices a

This study investigates how social workers in human service professions experience and manage compassion fatigue. The focus is on factors that contribute to mental and physical exhaustion, as well as the strategies social workers use to prevent and manage these. The study was based on a qualitative methodological approach, where data collection was based on six semi-structured interviews with qual

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a heterogenous cancer with poor prognosis, especially for patients with advanced or recurrent disease. The complex tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in mediating immune evasion and therapy resistance. To improve preclinical testing, advanced 3D in vitro and ex vivo models such as spheroids, organoids, and tumor slice cultures have

An exploration of how writers, artists, and filmmakers expose the costs and contest the assumptions of the Capitalocene era that guides readers through the rapidly developing field of Spanish environmental cultural studies.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the policies introduced to curb its spread exacerbated the vulnerabilities experienced by people with disabilities. Facing laws limiting gatherings and policies closing down services and banning visitors from care and service homes, care providers found themselves needing to find new and alternative ways to engage with and support care users.

The high-temperature oxidation of stainless-steel parts poses significant problems in power generation, chemical processing, and heat exchanger industries. Stainless steel grades such as austenitic AISI 316L, 310S, and ferritic 430 commonly used in industries undergo carving of oxide scales which diminishes spatial quality, increases corrosion, and reduces thermal conductivity. This thesis focuses

This article examines how Burgaz islanders use media productions – novels, memoirs, documentaries, and interview-based books – to represent and rekindle conviviality, resilience, and solidarity in response to political crises and forced migration within a post-Ottoman homogenising context. By combining media studies and anthropology, I analyse narratives and representations in these media producti

How people relate to and see themselves as part of nature relations differs worldwide and often depends on culture and worldviews. Nonetheless, challenging the dominant Euro-Western epistemic domination is needed to attain more equitable and sustainable future visions. This change entails fostering decolonial mediation between different knowledge systems in a context of intersectional difference.

We explore the transformative potential of SAM 2, a vision foundation model, in advancing gaze estimation. SAM 2 addresses key challenges in gaze estimation by significantly reducing annotation time, simplifying deployment, and enhancing segmentation accuracy. Utilizing its zero-shot capabilities with minimal user input—a single click per video—we tested SAM 2 on over 14 million eye images from a

The publication takes the shape of an anthology, and delves into different approaches and methods for sharing the knowledge created through performing arts processes. Through interviews, essays and reflections, it explores, among other things, why sharing knowledge can break down hierarchies and expand the narrrative of what an art practice can be. It asks how we can hold onto lived knowledge and

Previous research suggests a pattern of gaze avoidance in East Asian compared with Western cultures. Yet, recent eye-tracking studies of face-to-face conversation do not corroborate this. More generally, differences in nonverbal communication and analytic versus holistic strategies have been described between East Asian and Western cultures. Using wearable eye-tracking technology and an automated

In the context of the space race, space science became an area of collaboration between the Spanish dictatorship and the United States of America during the 1960s. The Francoist regime leveraged its collaboration in the space race as an internal tool for political legitimization. This article examines the role of science popularization in this legitimization process by focusing on the TV show Amig

Bakgrund och syfte Arbetsmiljön för veterinärer i Sverige har på senare tid uppmärksammats i media med larm om hög arbetsbelastning, höga sjukskrivningstal och bristfälliga arbetsförhållanden. En studie i Norge har visat att 30 % av veterinärerna har psykiska problem och att självmordstankar är vanliga. Övrig internationell forskning har visat hur etiska konflikter och moralisk stress i allt högre

Håkan Hardenberger, MSOs hedersartist, tar oss med till Österrike och Ungern på en resa från det välkända och populära till det bisarra och äventyrliga. Inledningen till Haydns oratorium Skapelsen må ha titeln ”Föreställningen om kaos”, men nog låter det ganska harmoniskt och ordnat. Likaså hans populära Trumpetkonsert, som är ett av de första stora verken som skrevs för kromatisk trumpet. Kontras

I denna uppsats undersöks skuldbedömningen i underrättspraxis i mål om oaktsam våldtäkt. Då syftet med införandet av oaktsam våldtäkt var att stärka skyddet för den sexuella integriteten och motverka risken för ökat fokus på målsäganden är det intressant att undersöka tillämpningen av lagen i praktiken. Syftet med denna uppsats är att identifiera vilka omständigheter som särskilt beaktas och får bIn this essay, the lower courts´ assessment of mens rea, what the accused knew or should have known about the lack of voluntariness, is examined with regards to negligent rape. It is especially interesting to examine how the law is applied considering that the purpose of the law is to strengthen the protection of sexual integrity and to decrease the risk of disproportionately high focus on the vic
