Digital Twins are realistic digital representations of the physical world, frequently characterised by a two way link between digital and physical. Originating in manufacturing, they are now expanding to city and national scales. In this paper we explore connections between Geographic Information Science and National Digital Twins. Six different viewpoints and perspectives are presented on the top

Syftet med denna översikt är att redogöra för rättspraxis från EU-domstolarna av central betydelse under perioden januari till och med mars 2024. Inget svenskt mål tas upp denna gång och målen som redovisas rör vitt skilda rättsområden. Domstolen har meddelat en principiellt betydelsefull dom som rör allmänhetens tillgång till harmoniserade EU-standarder, dvs. standarder som utgör en viktig del av

I artikel diskuteras hur regleringskonkurrens, dvs. företags utnyttjande av skillnader i nationella regler, fått allt större betydelse inom EU på det socialpolitiska området. Företag kan idag t.ex. ägna sig åt socialförsäkringsshopping på EU:s inre marknad för att minska sina sociala kostnader. Detta underlättas av den snabba digitaliseringen inom den s.k. gig-ekonomin med digitala plattformar som

The prospect of being able to efficiently inject large plasmids in insulin-producing beta cells is very attractive for diabetes research. However, conventional transfection methods suffer from high cytotoxicity or low transfection efficiency, which negatively affect their outcome. In contrast, nanostraw electroporation is a gentle method that can provide a high transfection efficiency while mainta

"Storsjöodjuret”, eller “The Great Lake Monster”, är ett undflyende fenomen i sjön Storsjön, belägen i landskapet Jämtland i norra Sverige. Denna avhandling i ämnet humanekologi undersöker hur det sammankopplingar av det sociala, det kulturella, det historiska och det lokala påverkar formandet av detta svenska kryptid, eller “dolda djur”. Syftet med studien är att visa hur detta vetenskapligt ännuStorsjöodjuret, or The Great Lake Monster, is an elusive phenomenon in lake Storsjön, situated in the province of Jämtland in Northern Sweden. This dissertation in Human Ecology investigates how the intricate web of the social, the cultural, the historical, and the local influence the shaping of this Swedish cryptid, or “hidden animal”. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate how this scientifi

In wildland fires, burning particles of vegetative material can be lofted by the fire plume and are subsequently transported horizontally by cross wind. Depending on the state of the firebrands (flaming, smoldering, inert hot, inert cold) upon landing they bear the potential to cause secondary fires. The present work introduces the reader to existing theoretical analyses of the problem of combusti

In this thesis, we investigate low-dimensional magnetic systems from the theoretical points of view. To address situations with several and distinct magnetic interactions, we develop different frameworks, including a magnon self-energy approach, a spin dynamical exchange-correlation (xc) field formalism and a scheme combining Matrix Product States method and exact diagonalization/nonequilibrium Gr

Neutron spectroscopy uniquely and non-destructively accesses diffusive dynamics in soft and biological matter, including for instance proteins in hydrated powders or in solution, and more generally dynamic properties of condensed matter on the molecular level. Given the limited neutron flux resulting in long counting times, it is important to optimize data acquisition for the specific question, in

Protein interactions in solution and the question of cluster formation are of paramount importance to a wide range of research fields and industrial applications. Protein clustering can arise due to a delicate interplay between the short-range attraction and the long-range repulsion in the interaction potential. This study employs small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to examine the clustering behav
