The field of hybrid human-artificial intelligence (HHAI), although primarily driven by developments in AI, also requires fundamentally new approaches and solutions. Multidisciplinary in nature, it calls for collaboration across various research domains, such as AI, HCI, the cognitive and social sciences, philosophy and ethics, and complex systems, to name but a few. This book presents the proceedi

Time-dependent ensemble averages, i.e., trajectory-based averages of some observable, are of importance in many fields of science. A crucial objective when interpreting such data is to fit these averages (for instance, squared displacements) with a function and extract parameters (such as diffusion constants). A commonly overlooked challenge in such function fitting procedures is that fluctuations

Pollutant transport in the unsaturated soil zone is a potential threat to surface and ground water resources. The intensity and volume of rainfall are the parameters that decide how fast and deep the pollutants will be transported. Climate models predict a future rainfall climate with higher total volume and higher intensities. In the present study we try to assess effects on unsaturated solute tr

I den här studien används extremvärdesanalys för att beräkna våguppspolning och årlig dynerosion med 10, 50, och 100 års återkomsttid. Frekvensanalysen baseras på en 40 år lång tidsserie med simulerad dynerosion och våguppspolning från Ängelholms strand i Skälderviken. Med SMB-metoden beräknas vågor ute till havs som sedan transformeras till kustnära vågor i vågmodellen SWAN. Våguppspolningen berä

Contemporary ghost stories can be mediated through television series that familiarize viewers with the idea of supernatural/spiritual phenomena, and present a way of witnessing, experiencing and dealing with such phenomena. TheSwedish TV series Det Okända(The Unknown) is an example of such a production. A –presumably –spiritual phenomenon is tailored to fit a popular culture format and is served t

As in most cultural contexts and theoretical conceptualizations of peacebuilding, the fulfilment of justice and the sustainment of peace are intimately related in the Arab-Islamic frame of reference. In the Qur’an and Islamic philosophy, there is a direct correlation between establishing a just social order and the notion of peacebuilding (Abu-Nimer 2006). Guidelines are set forth for building a so

Aim: The aim of the study was to deepen the current knowledge of how patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and long-term oxygen treatment think about and expect end-of-life. Design: A qualitative design was used. Methods: A purposeful sample of 19 patients with oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was obtained from the Swedish National Registry on Respiratory Failur

Objective: This study was undertaken to assess whether deviations from normal fetal growth are associated with spontaneous preterm delivery. Study design: A population-based study was performed, using Swedish Medical Birth Register data from 1991 through 2001. The total population comprised 1,007,648 singleton births. Intrauterine-derived growth standards were used to identify individual standard

Neurogenin 2 (Ngn2) is a proneural gene involved in neuronal differentiation and subtype specification in various regions of the nervous system. In the ventral midbrain, Ngn2 is expressed in a spatiotemporal pattern that correlates with the generation of mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons. We show here that lack of Ngn2 impairs the development of mesDA neurons, such that less than half of

The standardization of work processes has become an increasingly common feature in the public administration, aiming at both efficiency and equal treatment of citizens. Combining this standardization with employee motivation is considered a challenge. This challenge is explored, based on a survey among officials at the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. Results reveal that, contrary to expectations,
