Individual and family characteristics are important determinants of partner selection byeducation, but social environments during upbringing, such as neighborhoods, also shapepreferences and behavior with long-term consequences. This study examines how educationallevel in the neighborhood of upbringing relates to having a university-educated partner. Usingfull-count register data and logistic regr
Innovation and technological progress have been identified as key drivers of long-term economic growth. However, not all innovation is supporting sustained economic growth or addressing societal concerns such as climate change. Against this backdrop, researchers advocate for active government intervention in shaping technological development, a role that governments have increasingly assumed in reInnovation and technological progress have been identified as key drivers of long-term economic growth.

How do expert committees sustain credibility while radically expanding their institutional scope? This question animates contemporary food governance, as dietary guidelines, historically focused on nutritional adequacy, increasingly incorporate environmental sustainability and demands for democratic participation. Yet scholarship has largely neglected the ongoing legitimacy work, the strategic fra
This doctoral thesis explores potential source value of clay tobacco pipes made and consumed in Sweden in the eighteenth century beyond their currently applied uses as chronometric artifacts. In particular, this study is focused on exploring the ways in which clay tobacco pipes signaled socioeconomic differentiation in their contemporaneity and how such aspects may be understood based on archaeolo
The XT03 beamline at the HIE-ISOLDE facility provides a flexible platform for a broad range of non-permanent reaction experiments with accelerated radioactive ion beams. At its focal plane, the Scattering Experiment Chamber (SEC) offers a large, modular volume capable of hosting diverse internal detector setups. We present an overview of the SEC installation, mechanical layout, and integrated beamThe XT03 beamline at the HIE-ISOLDE facility provides a flexible platform for a broad range of non-permanent reaction experiments with accelerated radioactive ion beams.

In dense urban housing, particularly at high latitudes, the provision of direct sunlight creates a critical trade-off between its value as a residential amenity and the need to ensure occupant comfort and energy-efficient performance. This study investigates indoor sunlight preferences through a national survey in Sweden, providing updated empirical evidence for residential building design. The fi
BackgroundAdrenomedullin (ADM) is a vasoactive neurohormonal peptide involved in vascular integrity and fluid homeostasis. Even if elevated ADM is an established marker of acute vascular stress, it remains unclear how the ADM system should be measured and interpreted in the general population. In particular, it is uncertain which components of the pathway are most informative, when they should be
In this exploratory review and conceptual analysis, we examine cases and debates in the theoretical literature that highlight biodiversity and conservation decision-making contexts in which knowledge systems, and their interactions or lack thereof, are central concerns. A review of scientific articles indexed in the Web of Science reveals a notable trend in the conservation literature: the growingIn this exploratory review and conceptual analysis, we examine cases and debates in the theoretical literature that highlight biodiversity and conservation decision-making contexts in which knowledge systems, and their interactions or lack thereof, are central concerns.

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystem genetic disease characterized by chronic airway infection and progressive lung function decline. With increasing life expectancy, extrapulmonary comorbidities such as cystic fibrosis–related diabetes (CFRD) and hepatobiliary involvement have become important contributors to disease burden in people with CF (pwCF). Aim: The overall aim of this thesi
Accurate temperature measurement is essential for understanding the combustion behavior of single micron-sized metal particles. Conventional two-color pyrometry typically relies on high-speed cameras to provide temporal resolution, but their high noise and limited dynamic range restrict both accuracy and measurable temperature range. A two-color pyrometry method based on a high-resolution consumer
In situ particle characterization is crucial for experimentally evaluating multiphase flow systems, where digital holography offers unique three-dimensional diagnostics. However, reliable particle localization remains challenging under strong optical noise encountered in practical environments. This study introduces a similarity-driven autofocusing framework that reformulates depth sensing by leve
Unlike many other areas of European Union (EU) law, the field of migration and asylum law is no stranger to critique. This field is fraught with legal categories that shapebelonging and rights for one category of people while at the same time legitimising the exclusion – more often than not violent – of other people. This is a traditional function of migration law which is based on constructed leg
This anthropological study examines two different hospitality settings in Japan: a café and an airport that have implemented robots in their daily work. Using concepts of staged and unstaged settings, we observed robots and interviewed staff on how workplaces with a staged setting, people going to a robot café, differed from an unstaged setting, an airport, where experiencing robots were not expec
BACKGROUND: Taurine has shown promise as a therapeutic agent for diabetic disorders, and circulating taurine concentration has consistently been lower in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it is unclear whether higher habitual taurine intake or plasma taurine concentration is associated with a lower risk of developing T2D.OBJECTIVE: To investigate associations of habitual taurine int
