Craft is re-emerging in debates on improving contemporary work. A recurring theme in research on craft is its potential to thwart alienation, which is considered one of the central pathologies of modern work. Through a case study of the Swedish craft beer community, we examine craft’s potential for de-alienating work. Drawing on Jaeggi’s conception of alienation as a relation of relationlessness,
This article examines a corpus of seventeenth-century letters written by Japanese-born Christian women exiled to Batavia following Tokugawa Japan’s anti-Christian measures of the late 1630s. Known as jagatara-bumi (Jakarta letters), these texts were produced under conditions of enforced separation, delayed communication, and close surveillance, circulating through Dutch, Chinese, and Nagasaki inte
PURPOSE: RAD51, a central player in the response to DNA damage, has been suspected to contribute to tumour resistance to therapy. A single-nucleotide polymorphism, RAD51 135G>C, in the untranslated region of the RAD51 gene elevates breast cancer risk among BRCA2 carriers. In this study, it was investigated whether this polymorphism is related to prognosis of breast cancer and RAD51 protein express
Rotating Detonation Combustors (RDCs) offer a promising alternative to conventional gas turbines by utilising continuous supersonic detonation waves for theoretical pressure-gain combustion, boosting thermal efficiencies significantly. However, developing reliable designs is exceptionally challenging because the extreme combustor environments restrict experimental sensors from capturing sub-micros
The industrial exploitation of high value nanoparticles is in need of robust measurement methods to increase the control over product manufacturing and to implement quality assurance. InNanoPart, a European metrology project responded to these needs by developing methods for the measurement of particle size, concentration, agglomeration, surface chemistry and shell thickness.

Measuring the number concentration of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) is critical for assessing reproducibility, enabling compliance with regulation, and performing risk assessments of NP-enabled products. For nanomedicines, their number concentration directly relates to their dose. However, the lack of relevant reference materials and established traceable measurement approaches make the validation
Trots växande insatser förblir kustnära anpassning fragmenterad och otillräcklig när det gäller att hantera sårbarheten hos dem som drabbas mest. Dessa brister är inte enbart tekniska utan även politiska, formade av konkurrerande idéer om vad som räknas som anpassning och vem den tjänar. Även om det finns ett växande erkännande av behovet för att förstå de olika sätt på vilka anpassning upplevs ocDespite growing efforts, coastal adaptation remains fragmented and insufficient in addressing the vulnerabilities of those most affected. These shortcomings are not only technical but political, shaped by competing ideas about what counts as adaptation and whom it serves. Although there is growing recognition of the need to understand the various ways adaptation is known and experienced, empirical
This essay explores artistic expressions dealing with themes of nuclear weapons and radioactivity in Israel/Palestine. It brings together a variety of different sources representing critical interventions in the debate on Israeli nuclear weapons, particularly their opacity, and their absent presence in the country and in wider political debates. The artistic pieces demonstrate how the reactor is m
The languages individuals speak have been observed to influence how they perceive and interpret certain aspects of the world, but the conditions that give rise to these effects are not always clearly defined. One way to address the issue is to examine specific task contexts in which language is likely to modulate perception. Building on this, the aim of the present study was to investigate the rol

This paper reports preliminary findings from an on-going majorresearch project on the sustainability transformations of major firms listed inSweden (often operating globally). We analyze a highly particular aspect of thesetransformations: Technology barriers to tracking (and thus enabling) progressaccording to the Science-Based Targets (SBT). Progressing on these carbondioxide emission reduction t
This thesis investigates the ontogeny of thermoregulation and growth in birds, to improve the understanding of how prevailing environmental temperature affects physiology and morphology, and to examine whether body size influences thermoregulation. My focus has been on temperature effects emerging after hatching, which are poorly understood compared to effects of variation in embryonic developmentThis thesis investigates the ontogeny of thermoregulation and growth in birds, to improve the understanding of how prevailing environmental temperature affects physiology and morphology, and to examine whether body size influences thermoregulation.

With an increasing demand for rural resources and land, new challenges are approaching affecting and restructuring the European countryside. While creating opportunities for rural living, it has also opened a discussion on rural gentrification risks. The concept of rural gentrification encircles the influx of new residents leading to an economic upgrade of an area making it unaffordable for local With an increasing demand for rural resources and land, new challenges are approaching affecting and restructuring the European countryside.

This essay explores the notion of perceived rural gentrification through a photographic lens. In 2018, regional authorities on the Swedish island of Gotland identified gentrification as a growing concern for its most remote areas. This photographic essay investigates the power of images in conveying landscape transformation and examines the role of rephotography in research. Drawing from a private
The fields of cultural tourism and heritage management are gaining attention for their potential to be better linked, particularly in terms of practical applications. This paper proposes a taxonomy of heritage resources and related heritage-based tourism types and their linkages for specific case study areas, building on the established product class approach in cultural tourism studies. The resea
Innovation Ecosystems (IE) is an emerging concept that highlights the evolution of a group of actors working around common practices, products, processes, actions, and initiatives. While we can find various definitions of urban innovation districts/ecosystems and common traits that coherently define them at the urban level, only a few scholars have focused on understanding and further defining Inn
