Disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies must actively include people with disabilities (PWD) to ensure equitable and effective preparedness. Although awareness of disability inclusion in DRR is growing, the literature remains fragmented, and no prior structured literature review has focused specifically on participatory methods involving PWD. This review addresses that gap by identifying and synt

We study correlations in the prepare-and-measure scenario when quantum communication is constrained by photon-number statistics. Such constraints are natural and practical control parameters for semi-device-independent certification in optical platforms. To analyse these scenarios, we show how semidefinite programming relaxations for noncommutative polynomial optimization can be used to bound the

In this note, we prove equicontinuity for the family of one-point densities with respect to a two-dimensional Coulomb gas at an inverse temperature β ≥ 1=2 confined by an external potential of Hele-Shaw (or quasi-harmonic) type. As a consequence, subsequential limiting Lipschitz continuous densities are defined on the microscopic scale. There are several additional results, for example comparing t

This study critically engages with the assumption that factory jobs will benefit both women themselves and overall development in Ethiopia, whose industrial policy is dedicated to labor-intensive light manufacturing. Drawing on fieldwork data collected in and around an export-oriented garment factory, it delves into the impact of women’s employment on their intra-household decision-making power, a

The HIBEAM-NNBAR program is a proposed two-stage experiment at the European Spallation Source focusing on searches for baryon number violation processes as well as ultralight dark matter. This paper presents recent advancements in computing and simulation, including machine learning for event selection, fast parametric simulations for detector studies, and detailed modeling of the time projection

This chapter examines the relationship between the diversity of membership and features of Collaborative Work Spaces (CWS) and the growth of regional entrepreneurship. CWS have grown remarkably over the past decades and, alongside a suite of other forums for interaction between entrepreneurial actors (such as meetups and accelerators), have become notable features of entrepreneurial ecosystems. CW

For quite some time, research across various fields has highlighted diversity as a critical factor in fostering creativity, knowledge generation, innovation, and entrepreneurship-at the levels of organizations, cities, regions, and entire countries. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of diversity in modern advanced economies, appealing to academics, researchers

INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis has been based largely on clinical symptoms, despite their limited sensitivity and specificity. Biomarker use was proposed to support a more accurate and timely diagnosis. However, neuroimaging or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is rarely used in primary care due to their perceived invasiveness, cost, and need for appropriate infrastructure. Blood-based b

Objectives There is a lack of knowledge about whether occupational exposures increase the risk of emphysema, especially in never-smokers. Our objective was to determine if occupational exposures are associated with emphysema and impaired diffusing capacity. Methods In the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS), persons from the general population aged 50–64 answered a questionnaire and un

The proportionality between crime and punishment is made, and the way it is made makes for a certain kind of criminal law. By analyzing how punitive measures are justified in Swedish criminal law and crime policy through appeals to proportionality, the Article demonstrates how proportionality has been made and remade to legitimize an increasingly punitive crime policy, obscuring the reasons for th

The smart city is a prominent urban development discourse that has been applied to urban policies and programs around the world. To date, there are limited empirical insights on how smart city policies and programs are leading to institutional change in urban local governance. Recent scholarship has mobilized the notion of institutional logics to unpack how the broader smart city discourse shapes

This study explores how insights from critical disability studies and critical disaster studies can inform more inclusive approaches to disaster risk reduction (DRR). Although disability-inclusive DRR policies call for the involvement of disabled people, structural ableism and unequal power relations can limit participation. While critical disaster studies increasingly considers marginalized popul

Very-low-field MRI (<100 mT) holds promise for Point-of-Care brain imaging applications, including stroke and multiple sclerosis, with T1 mapping emerging as a key biomarker for brain development and pathology. However, current low-field T1 mapping protocols suffer from long acquisition times and limited multi-site repeatability. This study aimed to improve T1 mapping at 64 mT using a clinically f

In this chapter we share, reflect and learn from the findings of a long-standing collaboration between two teacher educators who have been working together on the topic of refugee education since 2016. Based in Sweden and England, the two researchers have over that time reflected on the changing educational and political discourse which permeates the contexts in which they work. In this chapter, w

We present a user study analyzing head-gaze- based robot control and foveated visual augmentation in a simulated search-and-rescue task. Results show that foveated augmentation significantly improves task performance, reduces cognitive load by 38%, and shortens task time by over 60%. Head-gaze patterns analysed over both the entire task duration and shorter time segments show that near and far att

This paper explores the dynamics of human-robot collaboration through a comparative study of human-assisted and system-assisted approaches in a search and rescue application. Leveraging virtual environments and mixed-reality interfaces, the study evaluates task performance, workload, usability, and subjective experiences of participants. Results indicate that the system-assisted approach significa

Research on deception cues in writing has focused on the products of writing rather than theprocess, ignoring the rich data that lies behind the finished texts. Written process data offera unique window into the cognitive processes involved in language production alongsidespoken process data. The aim of this dissertation is to examine the the effect of deceptionon real-time language production pro

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a relatively rare B-cell lymphoma subtype, with a higher incidence among males and a median age of 70 years at diagnosis. MCL is characterized by clinically diverse behavior, from indolent disease to extremely aggressive, related to the presence of biological risk factors such as proliferation rate and TP53 mutations. Most often, patients present with disseminated dis

This paper explores the integration of face-to- face and online teaching modalities to develop blended learning within higher education at Lund University.By examining the advantages and challenges of both approaches through a comprehensive literature review and semi-structured interviews with experienced educators, we aim to identify strategies that maximize student engagement and learning outcom
