Academics have had numerous responsibilities during the centuries. However, now with global climate changes and the attendant, looming crises, it is increasingly crucial that administrators, faculty members, graduate, undergraduate students, staff members and alumni work together with governmental.. non-governmental and industrial members in envisioning, societies that are truly sustainable. The v

Integrated models are inherently complex and often obscure to any but those who write them. Their usefulness can be greatly enhanced through well-structured, object-oriented design. A robust and computationally efficient Simulink/C++ library of optics, control, finite-element, and visualization routines for modeling radio telescope performance under various operating conditions is being developed

Latency is a fundamental problem for all distributed systems including digital libraries. To reduce user perceived delays both caching-keeping accessed objects for future use-and prefetching-transferring objects ahead of access time-can be used. In a previous paper we have reported that caching is not worthwhile for digital libraries due to low re-access frequencies. In this paper we evaluate our

The Euro50 is a proposed optical telescope with an equivalent aperture of 50 m. It will have a segmented primary mirror and full adaptive optics. To study the interaction of the telescope structure, the control system and the optics, an integrated simulation model has been formulated. The mechanical model is a modal version of an Ansys finite element model. The optics model is based on ray tracing

INTRODUCTION: As the world population is rapidly becoming older, the incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is increasing among older adults with vast implications for brain health of older adults in Europe. Due to differences from younger patients, there are areas of uncertainty in the assessment, diagnosis and management of TBI in older adults.RESEARCH QUESTION: To reach a consensus among exp

Avhandlingen undersöker föreningar i Sverige som organiserar öppna verkstäder. Öppna verkstäder, vilka också kallas för makerspaces, är platser som möjliggör skapande. Verktyg, maskiner och kunskap är delade mellan användarna. Syftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka hur föreningar organiserar sina delade verkstäder, vilka svårigheter föreningarna möter samt vilka implikationer detta har för den bAlternative building as an interstitial mode of transformation plays a central role in the discussion of strategies for degrowth. In this debate the questions of how alternative projects can be scaled up and how degrowth politics can gain broad societal support have been identified as crucial. In this context open workshops – grassroots infrastructures for creative activities, such as repair, upcy

The mental health of the health workforce has been receiving more attention, especially since the pandemic. Levels of burnout, moral injury, and mental disorders, including suicide, among physicians are cause for concern. Healthcare leadership in workplaces plays a crucial role in addressing this important issue, which is also related to the ability to attract and retain physicians. This chapter p

Bakgrund: God kommunikativ och empatisk förmåga hos läkare skapar trygghet och upplevs som professionellt av patienter och närstående. Forskning visar att empati förbättrar patienters följsamhet, nöjdhet och relationen mellan läkare och patient, vilket i sin tur leder till högre vårdkvalitet, bättre behandlingsresultat och minskade vårdkostnader. Ett empatiskt förhållningssätt främjar både fysisk

Purpose: This study aims to explore the 3 D separated flow fields and heat transfer characteristics at the end wall of a serpentine channel with various turn clearances using topological analysis and critical points principles of three-dimensional vortex flow. Design/methodology/approach: This aims to explore the 3 D separated flow fields and heat transfer characteristics at the end wall of a serp

Because of increasing demand, rapid development of in vitro and in vivo models to be used to study lung regeneration and lung repair has occurred during the last years. Even if imaging has always been an important tool in diagnosing disease and validating models, the current disease models, including three-dimensional (3D) lung models, put a higher demand on advanced imaging techniques. Moreover,

The COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on society has been suspected to affect gambling behaviors. Potentially, the pandemic crisis may result in increased problem gambling, for example, due to COVID-19-related psychological distress, unemployment, and financial difficulties. In ad-dition, the cancellation of sports in early parts of the crisis has been suspected to alter gambling behaviors. Policy

X-ray phase-contrast imaging by grating interferometry has in the past decades been established both at synchrotron radiation sources and at conventional x-ray tubes. Due to the sensitivity to x-ray phase shifting, contrast in soft tissue has been improved significantly and the possibilities to do virtual histology of tissue biopsies are being pioneered. Constraints in the design of a grating inte

This paper focuses on the intersection of social dynamics, knowledge production, and the implementation of identity features in robotic platforms. Concentrating on the concept of epistemic injustice, particularly in the context of trust, the study highlights the potential for justified distrust based on experienced injustice. The incorporation of social identity features, such as gender, signals g
