Accurate three-dimensional (3D) tracking of dynamic particles in highly scattering, reacting environments like metal combustion remains challenging for conventional particle tracking velocimetry (PTV). While digital holography enables volumetric imaging, traditional holographic PTV suffers from significant depth positioning errors and velocity fluctuations due to inefficient frame-by-frame process
OBJECTIVES: To investigate utilisation patterns of different types of healthcare in a pre-pandemic and pandemic period, respectively, among children with intellectual disabilities in comparison to their age peers in the general population.STUDY DESIGN: Based on 8 years of register data, we identified 1947 children with intellectual disabilities (ID cohort) and 145 998 children from the general pop
This chapter presents a semiotic analysis of gender advertisements, introducing a novel framework that advances the Transformative Advertising Research subfield. Using a semiotic square, it categorizes gender advertisements into gender-transformative, gender-conformative, gender-nontransformative, and gender-nonconformative terms, leading to six meta-categories: gender-stereotyping, gender-neutral
Coastal dunes provide critical flood protection for low-lying coastal areas, raising the question of whether these defenses can be maintained in a future climate. Dune development is driven by interactions between sediment transport and vegetation growth. Both processes are affected by climate, notably changes in precipitation. However, tools to assess future precipitation impacts on dune developm
People's willingness to include others and their level of suspicion of those perceived to not belong are constrained by political affiliation and adherence to ideologies such as neoliberalism, Islamophobia, and ethnocentrism. In an era of heightened polarizing discourse about immigrants, the interaction between changing information and constraints can be leveraged to understand how dynamic narrati
This article presents a new way of obtaining deep explanations of environmental problems. We expose the production strategies, corporate strategies and state actions that have been taken by firms and state agencies to facilitate the geographical expansion of the wood-based commodity frontier at the expense of reindeer pastoralists among the Indigenous Sámi people. Through qualitative analysis of a
This article traces how Yazidi genocide recognition is reworked across juridico-political domains in Germany, drawing on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork conducted between August 2025 and February 2026 and analysis of criminal judgments and asylum decisions. It argues that recognition does not operate as a stable legal achievement but takes on shifting meanings as it moves across institutional s
Introduction Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory and oestrogen-dependent disease frequently causing infertility. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are often required to achieve pregnancy, especially in women with advanced endometriosis. To date, there is no randomised controlled trial (RCT) exploring reproductive outcomes after first-line surgery followed by ART versus first-line ART i
Study regionThe study encompasses Sweden (450 000 km2) located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in northern Europe.Study focusWe quantified the future crop-water demand and water-irrigation needs of 30,000 km² arable land across Sweden to prepare for climate adaptation. We applied a spatially distributed catchment-scale (40,000 sub-basins) hydrological model with an irrigation routine according to FA
This study develops a framework for investigating the spatiotemporal variability of dust storm (DS) susceptibility in a major DS source in the Middle East i.e., Tigris-Euphrates River Basin. Visual interpretation of true color composites of MODIS satellite images was used to identify DS sources during period 2000-2021. In total 1,028 dust storm sources were identified. Incorporating 70% of DS sour
We demonstrate the first fully vertical single-fin AlGaN FinFETs (Al = 2.5%) on ammonothermal n+-GaN substrates, featuring a gate length of Lg = 200 nm and excellent gate control. This work presents a systematic study of the impact of fin orientation along the a- and m-crystallographic planes on the electrical performance of AlGaN vertical FinFETs. We report that threshold voltage is maximized at
Trafik spelar en grundläggande och central roll i stadsutvecklingen, där transportsystemet formar hur städer och samhällen utvecklas, människors rörelsemönster och hur miljön upplevs. Tidigare studier visar att det sannolikt finns ca 20 miljoner parkeringsplatser i Sverige. För att minska antalet anordnade parkeringsplatser som krävs vid nybyggnation kan byggherren göra mobilitetsköp som syftar tiTransport plays a fundamental role in urban development, as transport shapes how cities and communities evolve, influence people’s movement patterns and affect how the urban environment is perceived. Previous studies indicate that there are approximately 20 million parking spaces in Sweden. To reduce the number of parking spaces required in new developments, the developer can invest in mobility me
In recent years, China has carried out large-scale poverty alleviation and relocation policies, helping many people living in remote mountain areas move into newly built urban resettlement communities near cities. These policies greatly improved living conditions, but at the same time, many daily rhythms and living habits that once existed in villages have been strongly affected by standardized ur
Solenergi för att sänka kostnader i Kenyas teindustri Kenya är en av världens största producenter av te. Samtidigt är teproduktion extremt energikrävande, och el kan stå för upp till 20% av fabrikernas totala kostnader. Detta examensarbete visar att solceller kan användas för att minska dessa kostnader, men att systemdesign, regelverk och tillgången till finansiering avgör om solenergi verkligen The tea sector is one of Kenya's most important industries, with a big impact on the country's economy and socio-economic development. At the same time, tea manufacturing is highly energy-intensive and strongly affected by electricity tariffs and high production costs. Due to the favorable weather conditions and growing renewable energy ambitions in Kenya, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems p
In this essay, the key elements of elven architecture, its origins and narrative function will be examined and discussed. Despite there being many different varieties of the style, a common ground has been established to visualise elven settlements. Thus, this essay aims to contribute to the understanding of how historical architectural styles are used to create new ones and mediate a story. The r
The social work programme in Sweden is a female-dominated educational environment in which norms connected to femininity may become particularly apparent. The aim of this study was therefore to explore whether gender norms, with a specific focus on the good girl norm, influence female social work students. The study was conducted through qualitative interviews with six female social work students
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en betydande del av samhällets klimatpåverkan, vilket har ökat fokus på hållbarhetsfrågor inom samhällsbyggandet. Kommuner har, i egenskap av markägare, en viktig roll genom möjligheten att ställa klimatkrav i markanvisningar. Samtidigt är kunskapen begränsad kring hur dessa krav påverkar exploatörers agerande, särskilt i kommersiella fastighetsprojekt. StudienThe construction and real estate sector contribute significantly to overall climate impacts, which has increased the focus on sustainability in urban development. Municipalities, as landowners, have an important role through their ability to set climate requirements in land allocation processes. At the same time, there is limited knowledge of how these requirements affect developers, especially in
In Sweden, there is a problem with school absenteeism, an issue characterised by a lot of complexity and no clear solution. ‘School social teams’ is a relatively new policy initiative used to address absenteeism through structured collaboration between schools and social services. This study aimed to examine how school social teams are described and understood in both national documents and by pro
