While historical and contemporary thinkers have described politics as theater, this article moves beyond this representation of politics to understand how performance was central to politics around the turn of the twentieth century. It does so through an analysis of a large volume of hitherto unstudied caricatures of the German statesman Bernhard von Bülow. While historians usually describe satire

A non-von Neumann Near-Memory Computing architecture, optimized for CNN inference in edge computing, is integrated in the cache memory sub-system of a microcontroller unit. The NMC co-processor is evaluated using an 8-bit fixed-point quantized CNN model, and achieves an accuracy of 98% on the MNIST dataset. A full inference of the CNN model executed on the NMC processor, demonstrates an improvemen

Policymakers increasingly emphasize knowledge collaboration between academia and society as important means to generate innovations and solve complex issues. However, while recent literature on such collaboration suggests that knowledge needs to be integrated and generated across disciplines and sectors, there are surprisingly few studies that define what is meant by ‘knowledge’ or focus on the pr

AbstractPenile cancer and its precursor, penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN), are rare malignancies. Data on risk factors, incidence, and treatment of PeIN is scarce. The prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) varies substantially between studies of penile cancer.The aims of this thesis were to explore the incidence, risk factors and treatment of PeIN; to analyse the prevalence of HPV and sk

Sensitivity, resolution, and data quality are important parameters to consider when designing an ERT cross-borehole survey. We present an open-source algorithm for computing 2D and 3D sensitivity patterns of any borehole setup and use this to compare single-borehole and different cross-borehole electrode configurations, which both show complex patterns. To study the resolution capability of an ent

The transient electromagnetic (TEM) method is widely used in resistivity mapping but rarely applied in monitoring experiments. In this study, we present an algorithm to invert time-lapse TEM data, with inversion of both synthetic data and field data. Three main novelties distinguish this new inversion algorithm: i) a multiple-mesh approach is used for the definition of model parameters and forward

In-situ remediation of contaminated groundwater often relies on the installation of a treatment zone degrading the pollution plume. In such projects, adequate delivery of remediation agents in the whole target volume is not trivial. Monitoring the spatial distribution of injected reagents is important for engineers and decision-makers, in order to determine the need of more careful injection in so

Ekologisk kompensation innebär att naturvärden som går förlorade på en plats tillförs på en annan plats. Tanken är att exploatering av mark- och vattenområden på så vis ska kunna ske samtidigt som värdefull natur bevaras. Fungerar då styrmedlet som avsett? Ekologisk kompensation kan verka vara en enkel lösning på en svår målkonflikt men en lärdom från andra länder är att måluppfyllelsen ofta är lå

This chapter provides an overview of human rights due diligence (HRDD), followed by a definition of the topic, with a discussion and explanation of the key elements of HRDD and the key differences between business due diligence and HRDD. The chapter then focuses on how to teach HRDD from both a legal perspective and a practice perspective. Different teaching approaches, adaptable to different lear

Railway traffic is growing, resulting in a highly interconnected train network. Due to the interdependence between trains’ activities, a better understanding of train passes and their effects can ensure dispatching decisions made have minimum risk of delays. The impacts of train pass on dwell time delays were investigated using historical Swedish railway operation data. Three scenarios were consid

PurposeDoctoral candidates possess specialized knowledge that could support sustainability transitions. Doctoral education, however, often focusses on discipline-specific topics and working methods, making it difficult to “see the bigger picture”. This summer school on wood construction gathered doctoral candidates from different fields to explore how solutions to complex sustainability issues cou
