The chapter examines the environmental impacts of car sharing (CS) by synthesising insights from literature, fieldwork and empirical research. While most studies highlight direct effects such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and decreased private car ownership, this chapter emphasises the importance of exploring indirect environmental implications, including changes in disposable income and con
We propose data-driven surrogate models to solve systems of time-dependent differential equations coupled with noise. Using a feedforward neural network, we separately learn the noise and solution, tackling approximations across regimes with bifurcations and rare events. Focusing on irregular data generated by a stochastic noise model on a one-dimensional spatial lattice coupled to a differential
The doctoral period is often described as a linear path, omitting the human dimensions of becoming a scholar. In this volume, the imaginary of the PhD education in Sweden is expanded through the metaphor of the PhD wanderer— an early-career academic venturing into unknown terrains, sometimes becoming lost, at other times finding exciting directions, committing to new routes, and encountering new t
Elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs), which derive from one of the repetitive domains found in natural elastin, have been intensively studied in the last few years from several points of view. In this mini review, we discuss all the recent works related to the investigation of ELRs, starting with those that define these polypeptides as model intrinsically disordered proteins or regions (IDPs or IDRs)
Balloon borne frost-point hygrometers and backscatter sondes were launched at Sodankylä, Finland in January and February of 1996. These instruments measure water vapor and the backscatter ratio of light due to polar stratospheric clouds in the Arctic stratospheric vortex. Here we report the results of a hygrometer sonde and a backscatter sonde launched within 3.5 hours of each other on January 22/
Reactions of the primary pyridine radicals, ortho-, meta-, and para-pyridyls with oxygen control the overall rate of pyridine oxidation. In the present work, the potential energy surfaces of o-, m-, and p-pyridyls + O2 previously developed by the authors have been employed for a systematic theoretical kinetic study of the rate constants of these reactions. The geometries of reactants, products, in
Purpose:This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of the recirculation of products by empirically exploring, conceptualising and explaining how second-hand goods are made in practices and processes of valuation.Design/methodology/approach: The paper takes a practice theory approach to valuation and draws on an ethnographic study of ReTuna, a second-hand shopping mall, to explore the valua
This article discusses the interweaving of queerness, affect and translation in the asylum process, focusing on the role of legal representatives. Through 16 semi-structured interviews with asylum lawyers in Greece, it explores their collaborative work with queer asylum seekers in preparing a “credible” account. Approaching legal preparation as a process of translating applicants’ emotions into wh
This master thesis explores four television plays written and directed by Samuel Beckett: Eh Joe, Ghost Trio, ...but the clouds..., and Night and Dreams. The plays are read in accordance with the film-philosophical approach to cinema outlined in Gilles Deleuze's books on cinema. The master thesis attempts to position these plays as images in relation to the movement- and time-image as well as to t
The thesis discusses the licensing system of the Creative Commons from the perspective of the theory of the commons mostly as formulated by Elinor Ostrom. The work starts by describing the concepts and theory of common pool resources and regime of the commons for production and distribution of these resources. The main characteristics for successful traditional commons – efficiency, equity and sus
Do negative income shocks increase conflict risk? I study the relationship between desert locust infestations and conflict in 26 African countries. Combining geolocalized data on locust swarms and bands with information on conflict events, I construct two panel datasets at spatial resolutions 0.5◦ × 0.5◦ and 0.1◦ × 0.1◦, covering the years 1997–2017. I find a negative relationship between locust i
Existing studies on China’s COVID-19 response have gravitated to a macro-level,formal institutional analysis, focusing either on the effectiveness of the policy in early stage virus containment or on the growing negative impacts of COVID policy practices on China’s socio-political landscape at the late stage. Using serial interviewsaccompanied by online observations and documents, this thesis redi
Abstract in DanishMan har ikke kunne undgå at høre om the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), One Belt, One Road, eller Den Nye Silkevej, som et af Xi Jinpings og Kinas vigtigste projekter bliver kaldt.Sammen med Tabita Rosendahl, Sinolog og PhD-studerende ved Lund Universitet, der forsker i netop BRI, dykker vi ned i Kinas Belt and Road Initiative.Hør om baggrunden for BRi, hvorfor det er vigtigt for
Integrating learning-based techniques, especially reinforcement learning, into robotics is promising for solving complex problems in unstructured environments. Most of the existing approaches rely on training in carefully calibrated simulators before being deployed on real robots, often without real-world fine-tuning. While effective in controlled settings, this framework falls short in applicatio
Trajectory planning under kinodynamic constraints is fundamental for advanced robotics applications that require dexterous, reactive, and rapid skills in complex environments. These constraints, which may represent task, safety, or actuator limitations, are essential for ensuring the proper functioning of robotic platforms and preventing unexpected behaviors. Recent advances in kinodynamic plannin
To study the mechanisms of relapse in KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) acute lymphoblastic (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we performed whole-genome and exome sequencing of infants and children with relapsed ALL/AML (n = 36), and longitudinal deep-sequencing of 257 samples in 30 patients. Somatic alterations in drug-response genes, most commonly in TP53 and IKZF1 (64%), were highly enriched in e
We study the electronic structure of bulk 1T-TaSe_{2} in the charge-density wave phase at low temperature. Our spatially and angle-resolved photoemission data show insulating areas coexisting with metallic regions characterized by a chiral Fermi surface and moderately correlated quasiparticle bands. Additionally, high-resolution laser angle-resolved photoemission reveals variations in the metallic
