Youth Activism and Global Awareness : The Emergence of the Operation Dagsverke Campaign in 1960s Sweden

In recent years, school strikes and street protests for climate justice have drawn international attention to young people's mobilisation and activism on global issues. This article addresses the need to map the history of global awareness among young people by exploring the origins of the Operation Dagsverke (Operation Day's Work) campaign in Sweden during the early 1960s. Drawing primarily on ma

How general is the effect of the bulkiness of organic ligands on the basicity of metal-organic catalysts? H2-evolving Mo oxides/sulphides as case studies

Tailoring the activity of an organometallic catalyst usually requires a targeted ligand design. Tuning the ligand bulkiness and tuning the electronic properties are popular approaches, which are somehow interdependent because substituents of different sizes within ligands can determine inter alia the occurrence of different degrees of inductive effects. Ligand basicity, in particular, turned o

Hybrids between Rubus caesius and Rubus sect. Corylifolii (Rosaceae) and their relation to R. cyclomorphus, R. tiliaster, R. glauciformis, R. slesvicensis and R. firmus

Using flow cytometry and microsatellite DNA analysis (MSDA), we studied hybrids between Rubus caesius and various other Rubus species, with an emphasis on Sweden. We show that hybrids between Rubus caesius and Rubus sect. Corylifolii arise easily. They show a large variation in morphology, but can normally be recognised by a number of characters. They are typically hexaploids, but ~13% of the hy

Long-term oxygen sensor implantation on the porcine subcutaneous environment

The effect of long-term implantation on metabolically active devices is of utmost importance for not only the success of implanted glucose sensors used in diabetic therapy, but also for the development of artificial tissues and encapsulated cell devices. Such devices are dependent on the constant, predictable supply of metabolites from the local vasculature. Long-term implantation leads to the for

Progress as neocolonialism : Why decoloniality must imply a farewell to development

This chapter challenges the view that rising living standards and other indexes of progress in Sweden merely are rewards of technological development, successful industries, and a hard-working population, disconnected from the facts of European colonial history and the severely unequal conditions of contemporary world society. The European context of Swedish industrialisation and the large ecologi

Abstract in French« Un français transformé en suédois ». Voilà comment Alf Lombard se décrivait lui-même. Il est né à Paris, son père était français et sa mère était suédoise. Il manifestait un intérêt global pour les langues romanes, mais à part le français et l’italien, c’est surtout le roumain qui était son domaine préféré. Les articles sur le français, l’italien et le roumain dans ce volume re

The development of social science research on smart grids : a semi-structured literature review

Background: Smart technologies, such as smart grids, are emerging as indispensable aspects of an energy transformation and come with hopes of more sustainable resource use. A substantial amount of research has examined the technical, economic, and environmental implications of these technologies, but less attention has been paid to their social aspects. For the smart grid projects to be realised,

Evolvability and trait function predict phenotypic divergence of plant populations

Understanding the causes and limits of population divergence in phenotypic traits is a fundamental aim of evolutionary biology, with the potential to yield predictions of adaptation to environmental change. Reciprocal transplant experiments and the evaluation of optimality models suggest that local adaptation is common but not universal, and some studies suggest that trait divergence is highly con

Machine learning-assisted macro simulation for yard arrival prediction

Increasing the modal share of the single wagonload transport in Europe requires improving the reliability and predictability of freight trains running between the yards. In this paper, we propose a novel machine learning-assisted macro simulation framework to increase the predictability of yard departures and arrivals. Machine learning is applied through a random forest algorithm to implement a ya

The Evolution of EMI Research in European Higher Education

This book presents state-of-the-art research into English-medium instruction (EMI) in European higher education over the last 20 years, offering a comprehensive comparative analysis toward identifying gaps in our understanding of relevant theories, research, and practice. Molino, Dimova, Kling, and Larsen argue for the need to take stock of the progression of EMI research in European higher educat

How can we enhance reflective processes for teaching and learning in the international classroom?

This chapter explores the facilitation of reflective practice to aid and guide educators seeking to develop these soft skills and to assist them in developing educational programmes in the international classroom. Knowledge about learning, teaching, and education is a basic requirement. Few institutions, if any, would dispute the need for teaching staff to have an inventory of skills and expertise

Current Considerations on Integrating Content and Language in Multilingual Universities

Local linguistic diversity and growing teacher and student mobility in higher education (HE) around the world have resulted in increasingly multilingual teaching and learning contexts. This has provided HE institutions opportunities to offer instruction in more than one language—typically the local language(s) and English, but also other languages. This chapter provides an overview of different pe
