This chapter examines elite polarisation as a challenge to governance in parliamentary democracies. We emphasise the distinction between ideological polarisation based on substantive policy disagreements from affective polarisation, characterised by identity-based animosity that creates barriers to cooperation even when policy compromise might otherwise be possible. While parliamentary regimes hav

Filma snabbt som blixten Att filma en kula som flyger genom luften är enkelt med dagens kommersiella höghastighetskameror. Men tänk dig att du vill filma en ljuspuls eller en kaotisk kemisk reaktion som är över på mindre än en biljondel av en sekund. På de tidsskalorna har vanliga digitala kamerasensorer inte en chans, för de är helt enkelt för långsamma. För att komma förbi hastighetsbegränsningeThis study presents the development and validation of a new, compact architecture for ultrafast videography using the Frequency Recognition Algorithm for Multiple Exposure (FRAME). Traditional FRAME-systems often have high mechanical complexity, long optical path lengths, and are limited to one-dimensional (1D) informational extraction of refractive index gradients when using Schlieren imaging. Th

I promemorian Ersättning vid rådighetsinskränkningar till följd av artskyddet föreslås bl.a. en ersättning i enlighet med expropriationslagens ersättningsregler. När promemorian nu har varit ute på remiss kan vi konstatera att det finns en utbredd missuppfattning om vad expropriationslagen egentligen ersätter.

Construction with timber is becoming increasingly popular, partially due to its environmental benefits in comparison to steel and concrete. This is especially true for cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels an engineered wood product consisting of stacked timber lamellae oriented perpendicu-larly to each other. CLT panels have high stiffness in comparison to its mass, which leads to a sensitivity to

Objective To evaluate which factors are the most strongly related to self-perceived health among older men and describe the shape of the association between the related factors and self-perceived health using machine learning.Design and setting This is a cross-sectional study within the population-based VAScular and Chronic Obstructive Lung disease study (VASCOL) conducted in southern Sweden in 20

Have Orthodox Christian churches engaged in creation of novelreligious practices during the coronavirus pandemic? How dothose practices emerge, and how do laypeople respond to them?This article addresses these questions by reflecting on the majorproject findings based on examination of Orthodox churches ofRussia, Ukraine and Georgia. The findings build on a theoreticalframework that includes sever

Brandskum som innehåller per- och polyfluorerade ämnen (PFAS), på engelska Aqueuous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), är en av de främsta källorna till föroreningarna i Sverige. Grundvattenförorening orsakat av användandet av AFFF under brandövningar har undersökts i Kallinge, Blekinge. I området har grundvattnet använts som råvatten vilket resulterat i förhöjda halter av PFAS i dricksvattnet. Liknande faAqueuous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) containing Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) is one of the major sources of groundwater contamination in Sweden. Groundwater contamination caused by the use of AFFF in correlation to fire training events was investigated in Kallinge, Sweden. At the site groundwater was previously used as a drinking water source consequently affecting the inhabit

This chapter defines poverty, differentiates between absolute and relative poverty, and analyzes the criticisms of these concepts. Furthermore, the chapter analyzes the effects of poverty on child development according to developmental systems theory, listing direct, moderated, mediated, transactional, and community effects. Statistics on poverty for industrialized and developing countries are pro

Many organisms fail to adjust their phenology sufficiently to climate change. Studies have concentrated on adaptive responses within localities, but little is known about how latitudinal dispersal enhances evolutionary potential. Rapid adaptation is expected if dispersers from lower latitudes have improved synchrony to northern conditions, thereby gain fitness and introduce genotypes on which sele

Implicit sequence learning (ISL) has been studied using a variety of tasks two of which have been particularly influential: the serial reaction time task (SRTT) and the artificial grammar learning (AGL) task, stemming from the motor learning domain and psycholinguistics, respectively. SRTTs measure the difference in response times between a repeatedly presented and random sequences of keyboard pre

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the ‘normality’ of our everyday lives, but it did so in the wake of a series of crises within the capitalist system, which worsened the conditions for a liveable world for many while benefitting only a few. In response to these crises, the contributions in this issue highlight the diverse ways activists continue to organise in the midst of social, political, and eco

Quantum annealing is a promising approach for obtaining good approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. Folding a protein sequence into its minimum-energy structure represents such a problem. For testing new algorithms and technologies for this task, the minimal lattice-based [hydrophobic (H) or polar (P) beads] HP model is well suited, as it represents a considerable challenge desp

Prior research has shown that companies in various industrial contexts need to achieve both exploitation of current knowledge and technologies to make profits today, and exploration of new knowledge and technologies to adapt to changing conditions and prepare for tomorrow’s demands. The capacity to achieve both exploration and exploitation is especially problematic in project based organizations d

This article investigates a series of attempts to imbue natural history with humanistic values and align its epistemological goals with those of classical studies in Sweden during the first half of the nineteenth century. By tracing the claims made by a group of twenty-one natural scientists, physicians, and state officials as well as others who took up the cause in response to a government propos
