A people-centred approach for designing large-scale built-up spaces necessitates systematic anticipation of user’s embodied visuo-locomotive experience from the viewpoint of human-environment interaction factors pertaining to aspects such as navigation, wayfinding, usability. In this context, we develop a behaviour-based visuo-locomotive complexity model that functions as a key correlate of cognit

Motivated by the need for realistic, dynamically self-consistent, evolving galaxy models that avoid the complexity of full, and zoom-in, cosmological simulations, we have developed Nexus, an integral framework to create and evolve synthetic galaxies made of collisionless and gaseous components. Nexus leverages the power of publicly available, tried-and-tested packages: the stellar-dynamics, action

Women immigrating with their children are a vulnerable group often exposed to ill health and a bad environment. In Europe, women from the Middle East have a complex situation, but immigrant women from low socioeconomic status backgrounds are at highest risk, also with regard to the perinatal period in life. In Sweden, all women independent of their immigrant status are offered free high-quality pe

The presence of viral immune triggers at the intestinal mucosa can have multipleglobal effects on intestinal integrity, including relative protection fromsubsequent inflammatory bowel disease. During the last century, the westernworld has achieved a remarkable success in preventing infectious diseases,which increased the general life expectancy dramatically. However, theincidence and prevalence of

This article addresses how urban Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) in Sweden, have understood their communicative role, developed communicative strategies and tactics in relation to stakeholders during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this research is to explore communication strategies for urban destination resilience. DMOs have a key role in balancing the interest of stakeholders, the

The complement system is a proteolytic cascade triggered by pathogen and danger-associated molecular patterns, with resultant outcomes of inflammation, cellular activation, and opsonization of material for removal by phagocytosis. While first discovered as an activity in serum, it is now recognized that complement components play important roles at local and individual cell-intrinsic levels. In pa

Cardioneuroablation has emerged as a potential alternative to cardiac pacing in selected cases with vasovagal reflex syncope, extrinsic vagally induced sinus bradycardia-arrest or atrioventricular block. The technique was first introduced decades ago, and its use has risen over the past decade. However, as with any intervention, proper patient selection and technique are a prerequisite for a safe

This chapter presents an interpretation of Bernard Williams’s significant and substantial contributions on the topic of free will and moral responsibility. Williams’s fundamental objective, it is argued, is to vindicate moral responsibility by way of freeing it from distortions and misrepresentations imposed on it by “the morality system.” Although his earlier work is primarily concerned with the

In this research–in–progress paper, we employ design science research to articulate design knowledge for chatbots in higher education practice. We conducted a literature review to factor previous research into the design process. In addition, we performed a content analysis of student e-mails and forum posts from four instances of a basic Java programming course. Drawing from literature and data,

Title: The Shadow Communication Model Seminar date: 2025-10-17 Course: Strategic Brand Management Authors: William Eriksson, Saga Nunstedt Strömberg, Ole Senkler Advisor: Mats Urde Keywords: Shadow message / Noise / Shannon Weaver / Semiotics / The Shadow Communication Model Research question: How do companies express shadow messaging in their advertisements, and in what ways does external n

The need for large-scale production of highly accurate simulated event samples for the extensive physics programme of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider motivates the development of new simulation techniques. Building on the recent success of deep learning algorithms, variational autoencoders and generative adversarial networks are investigated for modelling the response of the cent

Today many of us strive to live as climate-friendly lives as possible, we stay informed with the ways that we can contribute and then try to alter our everyday habits accordingly. We often have an idea of what the best choice of transportation would be or that we should reduce our consumption in order to decrease our personal carbon footprint. Even with the best intentions our everyday-related dec

Population growth and climate change have accelerated groundwater depletion globally. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a fairly new satellite remote sensing technique based on SAR images that offers a high-accuracy monitoring system of land surface motion driven by groundwater level changes in time and space that can never be achieved with point-in-situ measurements. In producti

This paper explores the asymptotic distributions of low-dimensional patterns in linear regression with regularizers such as Lasso, Elastic Net, Generalized Lasso, and SLOPE, as the number of observations n grows and the penalty increases at rate n. While the asymptotic distribution of rescaled estimation errors is well-understood, convergence of patterns lacks proof in the literature, even for Las

Academic skills such as reading, writing, critical thinking and information literacy are foundational to university-level learning. However, although students often have a certain level of academic literacy on arrival, their skills do not necessarily match the context-specific requirements of higher education and often need to be explicitly taught. In contrast to ad hoc and isolated interventions,

Accurately predicting the macroscopic behaviour of heterogeneous materials, particularly in thermo-electrically coupled systems, remains a challenging problem in materials science and engineering. Against this background, this study presents a comprehensive framework for the homogenisation of electrical conductors subject to strongly coupled thermo-electrical processes in (quasi-)stationary settin
