Extremal states and coupling properties in electroelasticity
Electroelastic materials possess properties most attractive for the design of smart devices and systems such as actuators and sensors. Typical polymers show changes in shape under the action of an electric field, and vice versa, together with fast actuation times, high strain levels and low elastic moduli. This paper deals with an Ogden model inspired framework for large deformation electroelastic
The Political Impact of the Sustainable Development Goals : Transforming Governance through Global Goals?
Written by an international team of over sixty experts and drawing on over three thousand scientific studies, this is the first comprehensive global assessment of the political impact of the Sustainable Development Goals, which were launched by the United Nations in 2015. It explores in detail the political steering effects of the Sustainable Development Goals on the UN system and the policies of
Dependencies of Four Mechanisms of Secondary Ice Production on Cloud-Top Temperature in a Continental Convective Storm
Various mechanisms of secondary ice production (SIP) cause multiplication of numbers of ice particle, after the onset of primary ice. A measure of SIP is the ice enhancement ratio (“IE ratio”) defined here as the ratio between number concentrations of total ice (excluding homogeneously nucleated ice) and active ice-nucleating particles (INPs). A convective line observed on 11 May 2011 over the Sou
The performance of plasma amyloid beta measurements in identifying amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease : a literature review
The extracellular buildup of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Detection of Aβ pathology is essential for AD diagnosis and for identifying and recruiting research participants for clinical trials evaluating disease-modifying therapies. Currently, AD diagnoses are usually made by clinical assessments, although detection of AD pathology with positron e
Cholesterol metabolism in breast cancer: Prognostic factors and optimizing treatment
AbstractBreast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women in Sweden and worldwide. Adjuvant endocrine therapies are effective, yet 20-30% patients experience disease relapse. Altered cholesterol metabolism is an emerging hallmark of breast cancer proliferation and endocrine therapy resistance. Studies have shown that the use of cholesterol-lowering medications (statins) reduces the risk of
Site-dependent nuclear dynamics in core-excited butadiene
Symmetry breaking and competition between electronic decay and nuclear dynamics are major factors determining whether the memory of the initial core-hole localisation in a molecule is retained long enough to affect fragmentation. We investigate the fate of core holes localised at different sites in the free 1,3 trans butadiene molecule by using synchrotron radiation to selectively excite core
Skogen är bäst på bild
Skogen är bäst på bild is an electroacoustic text-sound-composition work; it could also be considered a radiophonic work. This was the first work of text-sound composition I ever made, repurposing that more abstract genre here as a direct tool for finding memory and identity in the city. Although Stockholm’s history of text-ljud-komposition (text-sound-composition) is something I have engaged with
Utilitarian and exclusive humanism : Conditioned welcoming through state-sanctioned migrant home-making
Under stjärnvalvets drömmar
Under stjärnvalvets drömmar is a 19-minute, MIDI-driven composition for the Skandia theater organ, a 1926 Wurlitzer Unit Orchestra instrument that was refurbished and given a new home in the Reaktorhallen (The Reactor Hall, or “R1”) over the entire year of 2021. R1 is a huge, cavernous former nuclear reactor hall, several stories underground, hewn out of solid rock. The work is a collection of con
Ghost Installation: Kafferepet
Ghost Installation Kafferepet is one of several "Ghost Installation" compositions in the project. Using small, consumer grade speakers and looping sound collage files, these sound installation compositions are placed in multichannel arrays into the sites they address.Ghost Installation: Kafferepet was installed outside the former site of the Kafferepet konditori (traditional Swedish coffee house),
Ghost Installation: Cyklopen
I was asked to make this installation on the occasion of Cyklopen’s 5th anniversary celebration in their new building. Cyklopen is an “anarchist cultural house” in the Högdalen neighborhood, a suburb in the south of Stockholm. There was to be a great deal of loud music, crowds, presentations and general festivities, so I decided to make an oasis in the library, where some artworks were hanging. Lo
Ghost Installation: Sparvkvarteren
Ghost Installation: Sparvkvarteren was part of the same evening that Deuterium: Virkesvägen was composed for. It was made with a single, combined recording of sparrows from Solna, Tensta and Hammarby, two clips of synthesizer material, and two recordings of the construction machinery closing in on Virkesvägen 3, recorded the same week we made our event in the Coyote Collective’s exhibition, Pionee
Ghost Installation: Rönnells
In January of 2022, I made an installation event at Rönnells. I set larger speakers up on the balcony, and played three of the large-scale multi-channel compositions from this project– Skogen är bäst på bild, Vädersolsmodernitet and Vart ska dom ta vägen nu?–at a very much lowered volume. I made them hoping they could function both as concert pieces and as installations. The event at Rönnels prove
Virvelns trädgård
The garden at the Moderna Museet is a garden for a future – even a post-future! – which had already passed into history when I arrived in 2011. I spent much of that summer contemplating this paradox through the lens of the presence and resonating echoes of Frukost i den Gröna and Paradiset. Even more, the colorful story of the Bucky Dome which had been erected in the garden illuminated the recentl
Abrupt loss and uncertain recovery from fires of Amazon forests under low climate mitigation scenarios
Tropical forests contribute a major sink for anthropogenic carbon emissions essential to slowing down the buildup of atmospheric CO2 and buffering climate change impacts. However, the response of tropical forests to more frequent weather extremes and long-recovery disturbances like fires remains uncertain. Analyses of field data and ecological theory raise concerns about the possibility of the Ama
Therapist-guided and self-guided internet-delivered behavioural activation for adolescents with depression : a randomised feasibility trial
OBJECTIVE: Access to effective treatments for adolescents with depression needs to improve. Few studies have evaluated behavioural activation (BA) for adolescent depression, and none remotely delivered BA. This study explored the feasibility and acceptability of therapist-guided and self-guided internet-delivered BA (I-BA) in preparation for a future randomised controlled trial (RCT). DESIGN: A si
Who is a Conspiracy Theorist?
The simplest and most natural definition of the term ‘conspiracy theory’ leads us to the conclusion that we are all conspiracy theorists. Yet, I claim that most of us would not self-identify as such. In this paper I call this the problem of self-identification. Since virtually everyone emerges as a conspiracy theorist, the term is essentially theoretically fruitless. It would be like defining inte

The Calcium Isotope (δ44/40Ca) Record Through Environmental Changes : Insights From the Late Triassic
Calcium isotopes (δ44/40Ca) are particularly useful in palaeo-environmental studies due to the key role of carbonate minerals in continental weathering and their formation in seawater. The calcium isotope ratio can provide hints on past changes in the calcium fluxes, environmental shifts, ecological factors and alternatively diagenesis of carbonate rocks. The investigation of the Late Triassic cal
