Children with disabilities and medical conditions are at an increased risk of injury or death during road vehicle transportation. In 2020, a national Australian survey of health professionals and organisations involved in the safe transport of children with disabilities and medical conditions identified a critical need for improved access to training, education, and resources. In response, Mobilit
Fourth-generation synchrotron light sources deliver flux densities up to two orders of magnitude higher than previous generations, enabling X-ray imaging at unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. This is attractive for non-destructive 4D (3D + time) studies of fast dynamics under in-situ or operando conditions. State-of-the-art 4D X-ray imaging at large-scale facilities relies on tomography and
Background: The prevalence of contact allergy in individuals with diabetes and diabetes medical device (MD) users is unknown. Objectives: This study (Part 1 and 2) aims at describing contact allergy prevalences in diabetes MD users. Methods: Adults with type 1 diabetes from two endocrinology departments were patch tested with the Swedish baseline series (SBS) and a MD series. Contact allergies to
This paper is concerned with a recently proposed scalable protocol for vehicle platooning, known as the serial consensus protocol. This achieves coordination of second-order integrator systems through a series connection of first-order conventional consensus protocols, and has been theoretically shown to have advantageous stability and performance properties. We implement this protocol on a vehicl
Cement hydration kinetics are controlled by clinker composition, water addition, sulfate availability and fineness. The analytical access to the first hour of hydration is limited. Here a new setup is introduced to record the initial 30-60 minutes of hydration on a routine basis with isothermal calorimetry. Fast isothermal calorimetry is fully quantitative. Reproducibility is reported in terms of
Background: Severe Alpha-1-Antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), phenotype PiZZ, is a leading cause of liver disease in neonates, children, and adults. Nevertheless, the prevalence of liver disease and mortality within PiZZ adults remains unclear. Between 1972 and 1974, a cohort of 129 individuals with severe AATD (PiZZ) was identified through the Swedish national screening of 200,000 newborns. The cohor
Programming is a cognitively demanding exercise. Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a disruptive technology is redefining the practice of programming and transforming software engineering. As AI is evolving to a multimodal version that accommo- dates not only texts but also speech, images, and more, we see an opportunity to design eye-tracking based assistance to support programmers. Since AI has tak
Background: Hypertension management guidelines provide recommendations for optimal patient care. However, the limited time available of clinicians is rarely considered. The aim of this study was to evaluate the time clinicians currently spend on different components of hypertension care during an average workday and to assess physicians’ perceptions of the time required for optimal, guideline-base
The thesis studies the notion of unity in early writings of Chiara Lubich (1920–2008) from a relational perspective through the theoretical lens of self-emptying (kenosis). The notion of unity is central to the spirituality of unity that constitutes the spiritual foundation of the Focolare Movement. By situating the writings of Lubich studied for this thesis in their historical context (1939–1962)
The electrification of the transportation sector is a central strategy for decarbonization, yet it raises concerns about the capacity of existing electric power grids to meet increasing demand. This thesis investigates the interaction between large-scale electrified vehicle fleets and the electric power system under the assumption of full transport electrification. The focus is on assessing the re
A Backyard of AffectionsPerformance presented as part of 25% seminar of the artistic research project On Ancestrality and Regeneration: Performing Decolonial JourneysThe performance covers two seminal aspects of my life: stories of acceptance, dealing with the loving relationship I developed with my maternal grandmother Voinha; and stories of intolerance, where I delve into my rigid and loveless
In the summer of 2022, Iury started an exchange of handwritten letters with her then supervisor Adriana Schneider Alcure and with PhD candidate Ian Calvet, both artist researchers basedat the Theatre Department of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The written letters were an attempt to connect personal, socio-political and artistic experiences and scholarship produced in the Global
Hägnader har sedan medeltiden varit oumbärliga för hur svenska byar organiserade sin gemensamma betesdrift. Därför har såväl hägnaden som det rättsliga ramverk som strukturerade upp när, var och hur hägnader skulle uppföras, lagen om stängselskyldighet, tillskrivits stor betydelse för bykollektivet i svensk historia. Under 1700- och 1800-talen uppstod dock reformer avsedda att bryta upp detta bykoThe Closed Countryside: The Prescriptive Duty to Fence and the Organisation of Agriculture in Sweden during the 18th and 19th CenturiesThis thesis explores the relationship between fences as enforcing tools and ideas of private property in Sweden during the 18th and 19th centuries. It does this by looking mainly at parliamentary debates about the law on how to manage fences and the peace of the fi
During an ethnographic fieldwork trip conducted in June 2025 in Brazil between in two cities 4000 kilometers apart, Rio de Janeiro, my hometown, and Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, I conducted interviews with the eldest generation of my aunts and uncles in order to continue the investigation I have been engaged in during my doctoral studies on ancestry, migration and the ever-present eff
In the Hebrew Bible and related literature, the Jerusalem temple(s) served as the dwelling place of the deity and a focal point for human-divine relations and ritual life. Ancient Jewish literature documents the temple’s sacred architecture, rituals, and social practices in great detail, providing a foundation for Jewish engagement with temple aesthetics over millennia. Today, a diverse and growi
