The urban water crisis, including issues of water scarcity, pollution and flooding, is one of the key challenges for sustainable urban development. Reasons are manifold. Preventive measures are for instance being put on the back burner, while re-active measures and siloed governance are daily business, resulting in power struggles and ineffective governance. As the water crisis hits the most vulneWe are in the midst of a water crisis. Scarcity, pollution and flooding are some of today’s key challenges for sustainable urban development. The reasons are manifold. Preventive measures are put on the back burner, while reactive measures, siloed governance approaches and power struggles are daily business, resulting in ineffective governance. The crisis is hitting the most vulnerable urban popul

In the foreword to the Mercure de France edition of Réflexions sur le procès de la reine, (1996 [1820, 1793]), Chantal Thomas, French historian and writer, writes that this apology in favour of Marie-Antoinette did not help the queen nor the author herself; on the contrary it only made the latter more unpopular. So why did Germaine de Staël write it? Mme de Staël and Marie-Antoinette did not shareIn the foreword to the Mercure de France edition of de Staël. (1996 [1793]. Réflexions sur le procès de la reine.

The argument running through Sevilla-Buitrago’s analysis is that spatial planning as a form of expertise cannot be untethered from capitalist urbanization, but that planning also must be related to urban commons, conceptualized as the actually existing self-management of resources in opposition to capital.

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) to distinguish malignant breast tissue from adjacent healthy tissue, and to evaluate if an extended-wavelength range (450–1550 nm) has an advantage over the standard wavelength range (450–900 nm). Multivariate statistics and machine learning algorithms, either linear discriminant analysis (LDA) or supporThis study aims to investigate the feasibility of using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) to distinguish malignant breast tissue from adjacent healthy tissue, and to evaluate if an extended-wavelength range (450–1550 nm) has an advantage over the standard wavelength range (450–900 nm).

The majority of cases in the US criminal courts are disposed of through plea bargaining, an agreement where the accused accepts an offer from the prosecutor in return for their guilty plea. While procedural law formalises the interaction taking place in trials and proceedings, plea bargaining builds on informal negotiations between the prosecutor and the defence. In sociology, negotiation is consi

The use of antibodies as capture molecules in assays is a common practice. By either printing monoclonal single chain fragment variables (scFvs) on a solid support – recombinant antibody microarray – or attaching them to magnetic beads – Global Proteome Survey (GPS) – we can specifically capture and measure target proteins of interest. Using the recombinant antibody microarray, we targetpredominanThe use of antibodies as capture molecules in assays is a common practice.

Open-Source Software (OSS) is increasingly used by software applications. It allows for code reuse, but also comes with the problem of potentially being affected by the vulnerabilities that are found in the OSS libraries. With large numbers of OSS components and a large number of published vulnerabilities, it becomes challenging to identify and analyze which OSS components need to be patched and u

This dissertation studies the labor market development of fourteen Western European countries during the years 1970-90, focusing on the relatively low Swedish unemployment. The variation in unemployment over time and between countries has proved difficult to explain with the most influential theoretical models, which are usually categorized as New-keynesian and Post-keynesian respectively. The dis

Homeowners are facing worse personal finances with high inflation and increasing interest rates. New groups are at risk of overindebtedness and foreclosure. The entire household, including children, are affected by worse health and well-being. This leads to large societal costs. Hence, it is imperative to break the negative cycle of overindebtedness for these households. Foreclosure is enforced by

This paper addresses possibilities and challenges on the methodological level during the initial phase of a practice-based research project. The research project aims to contribute to knowledge about pupils’ participation and influence in decision-making from the perspectives of teachers, leaders, and pupils in Sweden’s Art and Music Schools. A further aim is to contribute to the development of pr

Light microscopy is a powerful single-cell technique that allows for quantitative spatial information at subcellular resolution. However, unlike flow cytometry and single-cell sequencing techniques, microscopy has issues achieving high-quality population-wide sample characterization while maintaining high resolution. Here, we present a general framework, data-driven microscopy (DDM), that uses popLight microscopy is a powerful single-cell technique that allows for quantitative spatial information at subcellular resolution.

Chatbots are increasingly being adapted as substitutes to humans in customer service. As the level of adoption increases, it becomes more important to understand the phenomenon of robots replacing humans – a new chapter in the rising digital world. Earlier research has explored and aroused criticism against the trend of automation and digitalization, urging companies to move towards a more custome
