AIOLIA deliverable 2.2 contains a selection of ethical principles and values in relation to the use cases and research areas in the project (see section “Selection tables”). The selection of the most relevant principles is in relation to use cases from EU partners. International partners were tasked to select the ethical principles in relation to their own use cases, drawing upon either domestic i
The aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the sub field 'geographies of children and youth' and outline ongoing research within the subfield in the Nordic countries. It is shown how geography of children and youth is a relatively new subfield in the Nordic countries but is thriving being spearheaded primarily by young researchers. The main fieldwork locations are the Nordic countries
Based on ten months of research at an elite university in Beijing (Qinghua University) this article focuses on the conundrums of life for young people in China today. It addresses the paradoxical situation faced by many young people, who are among the lucky few, who have made it to the top of a very competitive educational system yet feel deeply ambivalent about their own futures. Through a detail
Identification of genomic rearrangements by microarrays or short-read sequencing frequently lacks information about the exact architecture and breakpoints of variants due to technical limitations. Independent verification of complex structural variants (SVs) is often performed using custom targeted assays, making confirmation of clinically relevant findings time consuming and laborious. In this st
There is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries. This cross-sectional survey study (n = 414), conducted in 18 Swedish municipalities, used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to examine: user experiences related to satisfaction with WT, as well as users’ expectaThere is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries.

This chapter examines the integration of living materials into architectural design, focusing on the use of mycelium composites formed through fungal biotransformation. As architecture faces increasing demands for environmental responsibility, material innovation has turned toward biological systems capable of replacing high-impact construction materials. Mycelium, the filamentous body of fungi, o
This third issue of Airea presents a second round of articles in response to our call for contributions 'Revisiting interdisciplinarity within collaborative and participatory creative practice', announced in June 2019. Following the second issue that showcased contributions from sound-related areas, the present collection focuses on the breadth of practices in art and design. The contributions in
This article explores meaningful work across two frontline occupations, bank advisors and schoolteachers. We build on narrative research focusing on the role of stories and storytelling in the sensemaking and identity construction processes related to work to explore the importance of others in the perception and construction of everyday work as meaningful. To study this, we examine the narrativ
This thesis investigates subspaces of the Hardy space, especially ones defined via analytic continuation, and their applications to operator theory. The main function theoretic properties investigated are the distribution of zeros and extremal functions. The operator theory investigations are centered around the concept of invariant subspaces and cyclic vectors.
Beta-amyloid positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with [18F]flutemetamol is used to demonstrate presence of Alzheimer’s disease. With the possibility to use [18F]flutemetamol PET/CT for early detection of mild cognitive impairment and the development of prevention drugs, the demand for the procedure may increase significantly. The biokinetics and dosimetry of [18F]flutemetamol
This European Policy Analysis examines recent developments within the Council of Europe concerning a proposed political declaration by its Committee of Ministers on the European Court of Human Rights’ approach to migration-related issues. These developments follow an Open Letter in May 2025 and a subsequent Joint Statement by a group of member states expressing concerns about the Court’s case-law
In October 2023, storm Babet led to the most severe erosion in decades along the Swedish South coast. In this study we approach the affected coastal landscape as a coupled social-ecological system where environmental components (e.g. geology, bathymetry, waves) interact with social components (e.g. infrastructure, management, economic activities) to influence the outcome of an extreme event. We us
This chapter presents a semiotic analysis of gender advertisements, introducing a novel framework that advances the Transformative Advertising Research subfield. Using a semiotic square, it categorizes gender advertisements into gender-transformative, gender-conformative, gender-nontransformative, and gender-nonconformative terms, leading to six meta-categories: gender-stereotyping, gender-neutral
This article examines Friedrich Schelling’s understanding of the beginning of reality through the concept of contraction and its relation to his view of life as struggle. Drawing on his rejection of mechanistic accounts of life, the article shows how Schelling envisions all life – divine as well as finite – as arising through tension, polarity, and dynamic becoming. God is not a static principle b
This report concerns the unequal sex distribution among pilots. The purpose was to find an explanation to why this is, and come up with suggestions for a change. It has been done by studying literature on female pilots and women in non-traditional occupations, and by applying gender theories to their findings and conclusions. To be able to examine the role of the pilot the report starts by introdu
In this paper, the role of inequality in growth economics is investigated. Barro (2000) found a positive interaction between inequality and GDP on the growth rate, using data for 1960-2000. This paper focuses on a robustness check of his results due to a revision of the Ginis from Deininger and Squire (1997) in the WIID2 dataset. My regressions cover the same time periods and include additional da
Remittances are the second largest inflow of capital to the Philippines after Foreign Direct Investment. The Philippines are a lower middle income country with about 33 percent of its 76.5 million population living in poverty. Earlier research on remittances and poverty agrees on the positive effects of remittances on poverty. This thesis’ objective is to show how remittances are distributed among
Lies as distorters of information transmission are examined in this paper. A survey of research conducted on games featuring costless information transmission leads to a characterization of several types of lies. The relevant type of lie depends on the shape of players’ strategy sets. Individuals’ perception of different types of lies varies. Active misrepresentation is viewed as the most serious
