State-structured populations are ubiquitous in biology, from the age-structure of animal societies to the life cycles of parasitic species. Understanding how this structure contributes to eco-evolutionary dynamics is critical not only for fundamental understanding but also for conservation and treatment purposes. Although some methods have been developed in the literature for modelling eco-evoluti
The environmental crisis, increased inequality and an aging population are likely to increase the demand for welfare services in the OECD countries. Economic growth has long been seen as a solution to these problems. However, this is no longer the case. Very few countries have managed to decouple economic performance from ecological footprints and greenhouse gas emissions. Even where this has been
Flimmer, eller närmare bestämt temporal ljusmodulering (TLM), har återigen blivit ett problem i samband med införandet av LED-baserad belysningsteknik. TLM, dvs. variationer i ljusintensiteten över tiden, kan ha en negativ inverkan på människors hälsa och orsaka irritation, huvudvärk, ögonbesvär och migrän. Förutom det onödiga lidande som TLM orsakar för enskilda personer utgör de negativa konsekv
This article compares Swedish social workers, teachers, and journalists’ experiences of workplace violence. It addresses similarities and differences between the three professional groups in terms of who exposed them to workplace violence, what it was about, and what triggered it. The article is based on an online survey study, and the findings suggest that consumer-related violence from target gr
Samhällets storskaliga digitalisering har inte bara påverkat människors vardag och yrkesliv, den har också påverkat undervisning och lärande på ett genomgripande plan – inte minst när det gäller det kunskapsbyggande som tar plats i skolor och klassrum, under ledning av lärare. Under de senaste decennierna har pappersbaserat material och laborationsutrustning ersatts av applikationer och digitala vThis thesis is about learning. It is about how younger students (6–12 years old) usethings on-screen (representations, feedback, or virtual characters) and how they handle digitalised learning environments. I have explored this subject using many perspectives and theories, not only focusing on handheld tools and physical or virtual materials, but also on the social interactions behind the screens,
As Rubenson has argued, "the main problem with life long learning is that it fails to critically assess how conditions for individual development, ethnic and social background, previous schooling and working life conditions create very different preconditions for life long learning" (Rubenson, 1996, p. 43). Using longitudinal data from the Malmö Longitudinal Study, the paper clarifies how differen
Water harvesting and artificial recharge have been the main and parsimonious solution for water scarcity problems in the arid and semiarid Middle East for thousands of years. These techniques are increasingly being encouraged and at present there has been a renewed interest to find improved methods for water harvesting and artificial recharge in many arid countries. In the present study water bala
Recent event-related potential (ERP) studies in language comprehension converge in finding anticipatory negativities preceding words or word segments that can be pre-activated based on either sentence contexts or phonological cues. We review these findings from different paradigms in the light of evidence from other cognitive domains in which slow negative potentials have long been associated withRecent event-related potential (ERP) studies in language comprehension converge in finding anticipatory negativities preceding words or word segments that can be pre-activated based on either sentence contexts or phonological cues.

This paper studies the relationship between Thai-Cambodia border tensions and cooperation against online fraud from February 2021 to February 2026. Online fraud has become a serious cross-border problem in Southeast Asia, and Thailand and Cambodia both have reasons to cooperate against scam compounds and related criminal networks. At the same time, their relationship is shaped by a long history of
Large financial institutions are vulnerable to numerous financial risks, necessitating robust regulatory frameworks to prevent crises such as those experienced in 2008. The Basel framework, devised by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, incorporates critical measures such as the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to mitigate these risks. CVA fluctuates significantly based on market factors
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling kan delas in i två delar. Den första delen behandlar en analys av en vanlig parameter estimations algoritm - Rekursiv Minska Kvadrat (RMK) algoritmen. Denna algoritm används ofta inom tekniska tillämpningar när man vill estimera modeller i realtid. T.ex. kan RMK användas för att finna modeller på hur framtida elförbrukning i Malmö (eller någon annan staThis thesis is about parameter estimation and control of time-varying stochastic systems. It can be divided into two parts. The first part deals with an estimation algorithm commonly used when estimating parameters in time-varying stochastic systems, the Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm with forgetting factor. The exact statistical properties for the RLS-estimator with forgetting factor ar
After a review of previous research on Hebrews cncerning the structure, basic themes and the way the author characterizes his own work in the book as a word of exhortation, various methods of analyzing structure and themes are discussed and evluated. An exegetical and rhetorical analysis of Hebrews 1 and 2 leads to the conclusion that Heb 1:1-4 is the rhetorical exordium and 1:5–2:18 the narratio
The article investigates notions of subjectivity, pathos, desire and God in the philosophies of Emmanuel Levinas and Abraham Heschel. By bringing the two philosophers into dialogue, the article aims to question Levinas’ conviction that the idea of a personal God, characterized by “divine pathos,” is a mythological remnant which unavoidably leads the subject into idolatry. Furthermore, it challenge
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är en dokumentation av mina undersökningar av det rumänska ordet. Jag har som allmänlingvist undersökt några aspekter av det rumänska ordet fonologiskt, fonetiskt och semantiskt. Det finns också mycket skrivet om morfologin i rumänska. Man är väl medveten om att en del suffix tar betoning och andra inte. Men ingen har utnyttjat denna kunskap för att sysThe book is divided into three parts. All three parts dealwith the Romanian word. Part A: Word stress has not been defined in one rule before. I show how one rule can be applied to nouns, verbs and countnouns of Romanian. The principal method is taken from lexical phonology. Part B: Part A gave me the idea to investigate phonological length in the forms of infinitive, 3sg imperfect and perfect. An
The spectrum and energy levels C IV and the 3l4l' system of the Mg-like ions in the iron group elements has been investigated. This has led to several hundred identified transitions, many of them previously unknown. Using the Charge Exchange diagnostic system at JET, ion temperatures, rotation velocities and densities have been derived from visible spectroscopic measurements on fully ionised light
In a previous study we have shown that correction of peripheral refractive errors can improve the remaining vision of subjects with large central visual field loss. Measuring peripheral refractive errors with traditional methods is often difficult due to low visual acuity and large aberrations. Therefore a Hartmann-Shack sensor has been designed to measure peripheral wave front aberrations in subj
Background: Ratios of values of brachytherapy source strengths, as measured by hospitals and vendors, comprise constant differences as, e.g., systematic errors in ion chamber calibration factors and measurement setup. Such ratios therefore have the potential to reveal the systematic changes in routines or calibration services at either the hospital or the vendor laboratory, which could otherwise b
The liberty of religion is not easy to define or regulate. It is closely connected to other liberties and rights. Starting from individual liberty, the consequence will be a right to religion or from religion, the right to change religion or confession, and the right to transition from religion to no religion, or from no religion to religion. It is obvious that the state, the religious denominatio
