How institutional work by sharing economy organizations and city governments shapes sustainability

In this chapter, we explore how the institutionalization of the sharing economy takes place in cities by applying the framework of institutional work to SEOs (Zvolska et al. 2019) and city governments. Both large and small, for-profit and non-profit sharing organizations are included in this study. Our intention is to contribute to research on the sharing economy by retooling conceptualizations of

Task-related gaze behaviour in face-to-face dyadic collaboration : Toward an interactive theory?

Visual routines theory posits that vision is critical for guiding sequential actions in the world. Most studies on the link between vision and sequential action have considered individual agents, while substantial human behaviour is characterized by multi-party interaction. Here, the actions of each person may affect what the other can subsequently do. We investigated task execution and gaze alloc

The environmental implications of car-sharing

This chapter focuses on contemporary urban food sharing beyond the everyday experiences of eating together with friends and family. Such food sharing is increasingly facilitated by smart, digital technologies (ICT for brevity) from Apps and platforms to websites and social media, that offer new ways to grow, cook, and eat together as well as exchange food with others. The chapter begins by mapping

Share and Repair in Cities: Agenda for Research and Practice on Circular Urban Resilience

Share and repair organizations (SROs) have important implications for resource efficiency and socio-economic sustainability in cities, but their potential to contribute to long-term urban resilience has yet to be systematically investigated. Knowledge is scarce about how these nascent circular initiatives can provide building blocks for socio-economic recovery in the wake of recent crises such as

Exploring Different User Interfaces for Automatic Tracking of Free Weight Exercises Using Computer Vision

Several research studies have shown the importance of physical exercise. The global gym and fitness industry faced a transition from traditional gyms to virtual fitness training during the pandemic lockdowns. A proliferation of applications is available to provide different digital gym experiences. Advagym is one example that uses sensors to track and give feedback to gym goers. Sony's R&D Cen

POINT OF VIEW Beware ‘persuasive communication devices’ when writing and reading scientific articles

Authors rely on a range of devices and techniques to attract and maintain the interest of readers, and to convince them of the merits of the author’s point of view. However, when writing a scientific article, authors must use these ‘persuasive communication devices’ carefully. In particular, they must be explicit about the limitations of their work, avoid obfuscation, and resist the temptation to

KRAS G12C Mutant Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Linked to Female Sex and High Risk of CNS Metastasis : Population-based Demographics and Survival Data From the National Swedish Lung Cancer Registry

Background: Real-world data on demographics related to KRAS mutation subtypes are crucial as targeted drugs against the p.G12C variant have been approved. Method: We identified 6183 NSCLC patients with reported NGS-based KRAS status in the Swedish national lung cancer registry between 2016 and 2019. Following exclusion of other targetable drivers, three cohorts were studied: KRAS-G12C (n = 848), K

Växande vattenbruk i en ren miljö - dags för nya styrmedel?

De styrmedel som används i Sverige för att hantera övergödning från vattenbruket kan ha bidragit till att sektorns tillväxt är låg. Idag används främst fodertak, som anger hur mycket foder som får användas, och subventioner för att minska näringsutsläpp och öka näringsupptag från vattenbruket.Nya styrmedel för minskad övergödning kan öka det svenska vattenbrukets tillväxt. Exempelvis kan ett tak p

Skatt på bränsle - hur kan fisket anpassas?

EU-kommissionen har lagt fram ett förslag på nytt energiskattedirektiv som innebär att yrkesfisket kan komma att betala bränsleskatt. Detta medför i så fall ökade kostnader och lägre lönsamhet för yrkesfisket inom EU. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur fisket kan anpassa sig till en bränsleskatt genom att på olika sätt minska sin bränsleförbrukning.Våra resultat visar att fisket kan mins

Jobbpolarisering – ett stadsfenomen?

Stora tekniksprång i samhället ställer nya krav på arbetskraftens kvalifikationer. Efterfrågan på högkvalificerad arbetskraft ökar men även nya lågkvalificerade jobb kan bli vanligare. Man talar om en jobbpolarisering där medelkvalificerade jobb ersätts av både hög- och lågkvalificerade jobb. Finns det jobbpolarisering i Sverige? Hur påverkas företagen och skiljer sig jobbpolariseringen åt mellan

Precision mapping of gene expression and proteins in the brain using gene editing and barcoded viral vectors

The human brain is a masterpiece of intricate design and impeccable functionality. It serves as the ultimate command center for our thoughts, sensations, and actions, which define our very existence. This organ operates flawlessly, with billions of neurons working in perfect harmony to process information, create memories, and regulate our emotions. The brain's neural network is composed of trilli

Anti-Ro52 positivity is associated with progressive interstitial lung disease in systemic sclerosis-an exploratory study

BACKGROUND: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most common cause of death in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Prognostic biomarkers are needed to identify SSc-ILD patients at risk for progressive pulmonary fibrosis. This study investigates autoantibodies measured in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and in serum in reference to the clinical disease course of SSc-ILD.METHODS: Fifteen pa
