Detta kapitel handlar om ”det goda exemplet” som en lösning på diverse samhällsutmaningar och dess något paradoxala relation till utvärdering. Å ena sidan baseras goda exempel ofta på utvärdering, gärna med hänvisning till evidens och vetenskaplighet. Å andra sidan ser vi dels en stor variation i vad som anses vara ett gott exempel, dels ser vi ganska lite referenser till evidens och vetenskapligh
This thesis develops a Bayesian framework based on Gaussian processes for inferring parameters of differential operators from data and reconstructing the corresponding solution together with its uncertainty. Such inverse problems are often ill-posed and sensitive to noise, which makes classical deterministic inverse approaches unstable and limits their ability to quantify uncertainty. The setup co
Nanoparticle properties depend strongly on composition, making precise control essential for applications in catalysis, sensing, and electronics. By combining two or more elements in a single particle, synergistic properties can emerge that are inaccessible to the individual constituents. Realising these benefits, however, requires reliable methods for tuning composition at the nanoscale.This thes
This article analyses the Europeanisation of Lund University from the mid-1980s until Sweden joined the European Union in 1995. At Lund University, internationalisation had long been high on the agenda but had not had any clear geographical focus. This was to change in the second half of the 1980s, particularly in 1987–1988, when the new emerging European market in research and higher education co
Indigenous and Local Knowledge (ILK) is an expression of biocultural diversity and is vital for inclusive and sustainable forest management and epistemic justice. We examine how researchers studying tropical forest fauna engage with ILK and the Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) who are holders of this knowledge. We conducted a systematic review of 62 articles that focus on tropical f
Objective: To develop machine-learning models that incorporate clinical information and radiomics features extracted from ultrasound images to distinguish uterine sarcomas from leiomyomas. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter, pilot case–control study included 200 patients (100 with a uterine sarcoma and 100 with a usual-type leiomyoma, i.e. including no benign leiomyoma variants) who underwen
A fundamental aspect of describing vocal activity is to quantify its overall level. For instance, everyone agrees that animals become more vocal when they are excited or stressed, but what does it mean to be ‘more vocal’? Increased duration of individual calls and their repetition rate are the most commonly reported temporal markers of arousal, but proportion of time [spent] vocalising (PTV) appea
This edited collection offers the first engagement with Werner G. Jeanrond’s theological thinking, spanning from hermeneutics through systematic theology to politics.Available open access and featuring more than twenty renowned scholars with a global reach, this work tackles one of Jeanrond’s key questions: “How can theological thought begin today, in the midst of a confusing plurality of methods?
IntroductionChanges in long-term survival after stroke at the population level are incompletely characterized, particularly using recent data and stratified by stroke type.Patients and MethodsThis nationwide, register-based cohort study used data from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke) and the Swedish Causes of Death Register. Adults (≥18 years) hospitalized with ischemic stroke or intracere
Democracies face a crisis of public reason grounded in a disintegration of shared epistemic ground and amplified by digital polarisation and AI-mediated disinformation. Current pedagogy, focused on deconstructive critique or fact-checking skills, fails to address how algorithmic systems engineer plausibility at scale. Higher education must cultivate discerning judgement alongside critique. Drawing
This chapter explores the emerging cinemas of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, two ultrasmall national film industries navigating the complexities of cultural identity, transnational collaboration, and economic constraints. While Greenlandic cinema has evolved through two distinct waves, first marked by national television productions and later by internationally recognized feature films, the Faro
This thesis consists of three essays in dynamic panel data econometrics. It studies the estimation of persistent dynamic relationships in panel models with unobserved heterogeneity and predetermined regressors, combining methodological contributions with an application in growth empirics.The first paper analyzes structural breaks in persistence in a dynamic panel first-order autoregressive model w
This thesis aims to advance our understanding of how directors’ values influence board decision-making and firm behavior by developing and testing a model that integrates insights from behavioral perspectives on boards of directors and corporate governance. Ideally, boards engage in intensive and open discussions that utilize the full cognitive capacity of their members. However, in practice, they
This special issue aims to deepen the understanding of the Europeanisation of universities from 1980 to the mid-1990s. By focussing on five universities situated in different European contexts, we aim to provide insight into how Europeanisation has taken place and changed higher education. The geographical diversity and the main differences between universities provide the opportunity to show both
