A brief presentation of a snapshot hymenopteran inventory of Stora Karlsö, Gotland, carried out in 2023. This was a follow-up inventory of another snapshot inventory done by Stigenberg et al. in 2014.
A brief introduction to eulophid wasps (Chalcidoidea: Eulophidae).
This thesis presents the development and evaluation of a virtual reality (VR) environment designed for integrated EEG, EMG, and joint movement data collection. The system combines immersive VR with biosignal acquisition technologies, including the Unicorn Hybrid Black EEG, the Myo Armband for electromyography and inertial sensing, and the Cyberglove for hand joint tracking. The goal was to create
Mindre kommuner är i uppstartsfasen med sitt klimatarbete. Hur ser klimatarbetet ut i mindre kommuner? Många storstäder och stora kommuner framhävs som progressiva klimatkämpar som arbetar aktivt med att bli både hållbara och klimatneutrala. Men storstäder och stora kommuner har ett större skatteunderlag och har resurserna att både anställa den lämpliga kompetensen och budgetera för olika klimat-There is scientific consensus today on the importance of local climate work. Many studies have investigated the mechanisms behind effective climate work and what makes some cities and large municipalities the frontrunners in driving progressive climate agendas. While this area of local climate work is well researched there is little research about how climate work looks like in small (non-rural) m
Kvantitativa riskanalyser (QRA) används för att bedöma säkerheten kring exempelvis kemiska anläggningar och transporter av farliga ämnen. I praktiken bygger många QRAs fortfarande på att man delar in världen i ett begränsat antal scenarier och gör flera beräkningar manuellt. Det gör metoden relativt grov och innebär att vissa antaganden och förenklingar blir svåra att upptäcka och diskutera. DennQuantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) for hazardous materials facilities remains dominated by event tree partitioning into discrete scenarios, with many calculations performed manually. This study formalizes the classical individual and societal risk metrics within the framework of probability theory. The resulting framework enables deeper theoretical inquiry and makes underlying assumptions explicit.
Background and Purpose Plaque rupture is the underlying cause of most cardiovascular events, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. The co-stimulatory molecule LIGHT (tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 14, TNFSF14) has been detected in foam cell-rich regions of atherosclerotic plaques, but whether it has a role in plaque stability is not known. This study investigates the association betw
This study investigates the disintegrative impact of Brexit on the European Union’s institutional framework. Disintegration may occur in the form of other member states leaving the union. Still, it can also manifest in terms of institutional reform in the direction of increased intergovernmentalism and executive dominance, resulting in a renationalization of the EU’s policymaking competences. The
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme isolated from pineapple, is renowned for its therapeutic applications. The present work was designed to investigate the anti-microbial potential of bromelain against dental plaque-causing microbes via in silico and in vitro studies. Firstly, in silico study was conducted where docking between bromelain and eight microbial growthpromoting proteins: Third fibronectin
Certified randomness guaranteed to be unpredictable by adversaries is central to information security. The fundamental randomness inherent in quantum physics makes certification possible from devices that are only weakly characterized, i.e., requiring little trust in their implementation. It was recently shown that the amount of certifiable randomness can be improved using the so-called entropy ac
To examine whether processing of negated meanings is facilitated in highly predictable contexts and proceeds incrementally rather than with a delay, we asked participants to read highly constraining sentences containing negated adjectives (e.g., awake/responding/commercial) that were either strongly expected in a high-cloze condition (awake), weakly expected in a low-cloze condition (responding),
ObjectivesUncertainty among healthcare providers about patients’ ability to make care decisions is a barrier to shared decision-making. We aimed to assess the self-reported decision-making ability of patients with cancer at the end of life.MethodsData from 11 countries of adults with a limited life expectancy and cancer as the primary diagnosis were used. Participants completed a questionnaire, in
The real-time interface chemistry between the lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) working electrode and the LiClO4/propylene carbonate (PC) electrolyte is investigated during lithiation/delithiation using dip-and-pull ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS). The APXPS results appear to exhibit the seldom discussed Co2+ state in the LCO structure, where the operando measurements indicate electro
This article explores efforts to integrate human rights into Swedish education during the early post-war era (1948–1966). Focusing on how human rights were conceptualized and justified, the study addresses a significant gap in the historiography of human rights education by investigating its development prior to the 1970s.By examining materials from the National Board of Education, and the first tThis article explores efforts to integrate human rights into Swedish education during the early post-war era (1948–1966).

In panel data regression models, it is often not reasonable to expect all cross-sectional units to have identical responses to explanatory variables, or that all relevant variables have been properly accounted for. These concerns have recently motivated the use of interactive effects models with heterogeneous slopes. The workhorse of this literature is the common correlated effects approach, which
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore experiences and challenges in handling feedback and criticism among early career surgeons. Design: This study is part of a prospective, exploratory, longitudinal study evaluating surgical residents throughout residency. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with medical doctors applying to a locum or residency position in a surgical specialty. An

Stochastic texture filtering (STF) has re-emerged as a technique that can bring down the cost of texture filtering of advanced texture compression methods, e.g., neural texture compression. However, during texture magnification, the swapped order of filtering and shading with STF can result in aliasing. The inability to smoothly interpolate material properties stored in textures, such as surface n
Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) is an increasingly utilised modality for treating tumours by utilising the physical properties of accelerated proton beams. This review explores the development of PBT, its dosimetric advantages over conventional x-ray-based radiotherapy, and the rationale behind its use in paediatric oncology whilst simultaneously considering the various challenges associated with its de
