The paper introduces a new device for analyzing, teaching, and training jaw movements: the MARRYS helmet. We outline the motivation for the development of the helmet, describe its key advantages and features relative to those of the Electromagnetic Articulograph (EMA) and illustrate by means of selected study portraits the possible uses of the MARRYS helmet in the various fields of the empirical a
The vision of birds has been extensively studied, and alot is known about what they are able to see contrast sensitivity and acuity, in different light intensities, is known Still, visual perception depends on a combination of many stimulus parameters, which can make it difficult to predict the visibility of ecologically relevant stimuli.In this doctoral thesis I have investigate visual thresholds
The term ‘artificial intelligence’ has arguably come to function in political discourse as, what Laclau called, an ‘empty signifier’. This article traces the shifting political discourse on AI within three key institutions of global governance–OHCHR, WHO, and UNESCO–and, in so doing, highlights the role of ‘crisis’ moments in justifying a series of pivotal re-articulations. Most important has been
Brazil has faced severe droughts in recent decades, significantly affecting agriculture, water supply, and hydropower generation, among other sectors. The Paraná River Basin, a major hub for hydropower, has been particularly affected, posing challenges for water management. To address this, we conducted a study to provide tailored climate information for the Brazilian hydroelectric sector. Given t
Established in 2015, the Multi-Stakeholder Engagement (MuSE) Consortium is an international network of over 120 individuals interested in stakeholder engagement in research and guidelines. The MuSE group is developing guidance for stakeholder engagement in the development of health and healthcare guideline development. The development of this guidance has included multiple meetings with stakeholde
The ATLAS trigger system is a crucial component of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. It is responsible for selecting events in line with the ATLAS physics programme. This paper presents an overview of the changes to the trigger and data acquisition system during the second long shutdown of the LHC, and shows the performance of the trigger system and its components in the proton-proton collisions du
Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two main types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The prevalence of these conditions is approximately 0.7%. With the advent of new treatments and improved management algorithms throughout the last century, the mortality rates associated with these conditions have decreased steeply. However, IBD is still a major cause of lifetime morbidity.
This chapter addresses perinatal mortality in early modern Lutheran Sweden by examining the interplay between religious and medical birth practices and fetal and infant concepts and imagery. Early modern European birth intervention strategies aimed at securing baptism: the spiritual survival of unborn individuals. Lutheran doctrine demanded a complete live birth before baptism, yet emergency solut
The paper deals with the notion of stability for thermo-elastoplastic materials undergoing large strains. The stability analysis is performed by using the perturbation approach applied to a comprehensive material model derived in a thermodynamic format. As the main contribution of this paper a stability condition for a material model incorporating geometrical and material non-linearities under ful
In this article, I identify a key trend for demarcating the “secular” as a Western, Christian achievement. I analyze how the New Testament story often known as “Render unto Caesar” is referenced as a source for the secular West, particularly in writings by European and American conservative thinkers in the 1990s and early 2000s. My argument is that these references to “Render unto Caesar” constitu
In recent decades, a significant advancement in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been adopting the vector tracking (VT) technique, particularly in environments where stable and reliable positioning is essential. It facilitates rapid reacquisition and continuous tracking of GNSS signals by linking the data processing and signal processing modules. In challenging environments affect
Objectives ‒ Chronic pain is a major global public-health issue. In Sweden, 20% adults report moderate to severe chronic pain, with 7% continuously seeking healthcare. Shortcomings in treatment, accessibility, and knowledge in healthcare for chronic pain have previously been reported. A generic treatment structure from primary to specialized care and rehabilitation was missing. This study aims to
The operation of instruments and detectors in laboratory or beamline environments presents a complex challenge, requiring stable operation of multiple concurrent devices, often controlled by separate hardware and software solutions. These environments frequently undergo modifications, such as the inclusion of different auxiliary devices depending on the experiment or facility, adding further compl
Nickel-based catalysts are the most promising alternative to replace platinum in hydrogen conversion devices in alkaline media. One approach to narrowing the performance gap between Pt and Ni is to fine-tune the nickel surface coverage by (hydr) oxide (NiOxHy) species, which determines its electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen oxidation (HOR) and hydrogen evolution (HER) reactions. As Ni easi
