Although commercial aviation is a highly standardized and ultra-safe industry, there are still times when the flight crew are faced with an unexpected situation, and must respond appropriately. This article studies how to characterize variability in flight crew strategies handling unexpected events, problematic as well as successful. Hollnagel’s Extended Control Model (ECOM) is operationalized as

Purpose – This study critically examines the claim that blockchain technology (BCT) can create a trustless system in supply chain management (SCM). It explores the nuanced relationship between trust and BCT, offering empirical insights into how trust is shaped when BCT is introduced in sustainability-oriented supply chains. Design/methodology/approach – Adopting a multiple case study approach, the

Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) were introduced as a tool to optimize radiation protection in medical imaging. Conditions for dose assessment have evolved significantly. This study explores how effectively the current DRL system functions and whether it requires adjustment. The analysis focuses on the national DRL system in Sweden and includes European projects and guidelines for reference. The

Purpose: This paper seeks to explore the manner in whichsecondary vocational education in agriculture can facilitateunlearning among young farmers. In this context, ‘unlearning’means deliberately letting go of mindsets, practices, and routinesthat are no longer fit for purpose.Design/Methodology/Approach: We use a course on sustainablefamily-farm succession as a case study in order to illustrate h

I have been studying public squares in Lund and Malmö over the past twenty years often focusing on how their uses have changed over the decades. Looking back at these studies, I have seen how the squares of these two cities increasingly have turned into crowded pedestrianized areas for extraordinary events and weekend or evening entertainment, rather than catering for more mundane needs.

Regime change is considered essential for sustainability transitions. An important source of regime change is pressure from alternative innovations developed in niches and the actors involved. Governments often play an important role in such niche-regime interactions and affect whether, and how, this results in regime change. However, an overview of the various roles governments can play with resp

Claims have recently been made for a 'mobilities paradigm' which is challenging the relative 'a-mobile' focus of much of the social sciences. The agenda drawn up for this mobilities paradigm is clearly based on Northern trends with little consideration of the South. African populations have always been mobile but little is known about the mobility of urban populations and in particular of the yout

In recent years, public discourse on LGBTQIA+ rights in Sweden has increasingly positioned religion as a primary threat to queer and trans lives. Within this discussion, religion is often portrayed as a carrier of socially conservative values on gender and sexuality, as well as an outdated and unwelcome presence in modern secular society. This portrayal reinforces the idea of secular society as a

While the situation of queer and trans people within religious communities has gained an increased amount of attention in recent years, with the issue of “conversion therapy” being brought into public discourse by the UN and various LGBTQIA+ organisations, the amount of research that offers in-depth explorations of the living conditions of religious queer and trans people is limited, especially in

Following Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli military invasion of Gaza, violent hate crimes against Jews and Muslims in Sweden have risen, mirroring a trend seen in many parts of the world. Swedish Jews have reported feeling increasingly unsafe within mainstream society and pressured to distance themselves from the state of Israel. Meanwhile, Jews who openly disapprove of Zionism ha

This paper outlines the development of the specialist medical physicist role in Sweden. Since introducing certification in 1999, the need for advanced expertise in patient safety, technology, optimization, and regulation became evident. In response, the Swedish Medical Physicist Association and the Swedish Society for Radiation Physics launched a national specialist training program in 2004, furth

Although building materials are one of the most important components of housing, there have been few attempts to link the nature of the building materials industry to the construction of housing. This paper analyses the three stages of production, distribution and consumption of building materials in Colombia, focusing in particular on the links between capitalists and petty capitalists operating

Excitons are primary elementary excitations in solids that present both fundamental interest and technological importance, showing great potential for photospintronic and quantum transduction applications. The emerging coherent collective excitations in two-dimensional antiferromagnetic semiconductors raise prospects for spin-exciton interactions and multifield control schemes. However, realizing

Like many African cities, Accra has experienced rapid urban growth in recent decades. This paper focuses on the changes taking place in the peri-urban area of Accra where urban development is occurring both within and around the indigenous villages. The impact of rapid urbanization on the physical and residential environment is illustrated and the implications of these changes for environmental ma

This paper aims to contribute to the discussion of the nature of the self-help housing market by analysing its extent and mode of operation in four self-help settlements in the intermediate sized city of Perdra, Colombia. The evidence from the survey settlements suggests that the market for self-help houses is small. Self-help settlements are dominated by a land market rather than by a housing mar

Building materials account for a high percentage of the non-land cost of self-help housing. Few studies, however, have examined the use of building materials by self-help builders and the practicalities of producing and distributing the materials in an alternative manner. This paper discusses the nature of construction by self-help in the intermediate-sized Colombian city of Pereira, focusing in p

We present an extension of the SPL-BEV (Soccer Player Localization for Bird’s-Eye-View) method, introducing Decomposable Tiled SPL-BEV (DTSPL-BEV), a variant designed to enable efficient inference on embedded devices. We show specialized tiling algorithms that enable inference on a given devices with some known memory limitations, while also ensuring the same detection results as running inference

Gästkrönika. Den samlade forskningen är tydlig – det finns mycket som kan göras för att öka skogens klimatnytta. Det avgörande är att förstärka och värna kolsänkan samt att använda en större del av träråvaran till en ny mix av produkter. Det skriver Markku Rummukainen, professor på centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap vid Lunds universitet.
