The 1955-56 macroeconomic crisis is a central event in modern Irish history. Yet, despite this centrality, its causes are not clearly understood. In 1955-6, Ireland, which had previously followed British interest rates in lockstep as part of its fixed exchange with the latter, briefly experimented with independent monetary policy. Our contribution is twofold. First, we highlight how the Irish resp
This paper analyses the evolution of material living standards in three Swedish, before 1658 Danish, towns (Malmö, Ystad and Falkenberg) of varying size from the late 1500s to the advent of industrialization in the 1860s. We use population registers and church books, but above all a new dataset of 1381 probate inventories for the time periods 1570–1599, 1670–1720, the 1780s, and the 1860s. Based o
Baumol’s cost disease is a wellknown theorem, but its consequences are rarely addressed in economic-political discourse. This paper highlights the implications of Baumol’s cost disease and shows that in real terms the once so celebrated “Swedish Model” has lost its exclusive position relative to other European countries. Even worse, since 1995 Swedish welfare services has in general lost in conten
ABSTRACT Aim To examine how butterfly population trends respond to climate change and urbanisation at a continental scale, and whether responses differ between urban and rural environments. Location 869 sites across 12 European countries, spanning six bioclimatic zones. Time Period 1976?2021. Major Taxa Studied Butterflies (Lepidoptera). Methods We analysed long-term monitoring data from >?8400 po
This dissertation studies the critical reception of Hilma af Klint trough three exhibitions: Spiritual in Art – Abstract Painting 1890-1985 (Los Angeles, 1986), Secret Pictures by Hilma af Klint, (Helsinki, 1988) and Hilma af Klint – A Pioneer of Abstraction (Stockholm, 2013), addressing the crucial prominent figures and voices in the discursive field around af Klint. The aim is carried out throug
A broadband high gain metasurface-based Fabry–Perot resonant cavity antenna (FPRCA) for polarization reconfigurable is proposed in this article. The antenna features a microstrip source antenna with a single-layer 2 × 2 circular patch metasurface, a ground plane, and a double-layer partially reflective surface (PRS), along with four resistors and two diodes. Characteristic mode analysis (CMA) is p
Lifetimes of photoexcited charge transfer (CT) states in transition metal chromophores are influenced by low-lying ligand field (LF) excited states, especially for 3d metal complexes. To manipulate interactions between LF and CT states, it is important to be able to control LF excited state energies using tunable synthetic variables. In this report, we use Fe 2p3d L3-edge resonant inelastic X-ray
Butterflies have been systematically monitored in Europe for several decades using standard protocols that are now adopted in over 30 countries. Butterflies are ideal biological indicators: they are well-documented, measurable, sensitive to environmental change, occur in a wide range of habitat types, represent many other insects, and are popular with the public because of their beauty.

Rapporten sammanfattar fjärilsinventeringar utförda 2024 inom Biogeografisk uppföljning som drivs av Naturvårdsverket. I fjällområdet inventerades totalt 35 ytor. Sammanlagt noterades 33 högnordiska blåvingar på 11 av 16 inventerade ytor, 36 dvärgpärlemorfjärilar på 12 av 18 ytor och 13 fjällsilversmygare på 4 inventerade ytor. Svartfläckig blåvinge observerades på 26 av 49 inventerade lokaler. To
This paper presents a novel low-profile, single-layer, differentially-fed microstrip antenna with a flat-top beam (FTB). By incorporating a central hexagonal slot together with four elongated slots and two short slots, the proposed antenna tailors high-order modes to achieve the desired radiation characteristics. By analyzing the electric field, the distribution in various regions is decomposed an
octurnal lepidopteran pollinators face pesticide exposure risks in agricultural landscapes, yet lack adequate risk assessment frameworks compared to diurnal species. We present a formal model description for Noctua pronuba within the Animal Landscape and Man Simulation System (ALMaSS), providing the first comprehensive agent-based framework for assessing the impacts of pesticides on nocturnal mothNocturnal lepidopteran pollinators face pesticide exposure risks in agricultural landscapes, yet lack adequate risk assessment frameworks compared to diurnal species.

Purpose Despite increased interest in opioid-free strategies, their clinical uptake remains limited. This study explores Swedish perioperative healthcare professional’s (HCPs) knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding opioid and nonopioid analgesia across intraoperative and postoperative contexts. Design A national web-based survey was conducted among perioperative HCPs across Sweden between O
Arslan showed that computing all-pairs Hamming distances is easily reducible to arithmetic 0–1 matrix multiplication (IPL 2018). We provide a reverse, linear-time reduction of arithmetic 0–1 matrix multiplication to computing all-pairs distances in a Hamming space. On the other hand, we present a fast randomized algorithm for approximate all-pairs distances in a Hamming space. By combining it with
Purpose – This study examines how representative deliberative processes (RDPs) can operate as systemic policy instruments for addressing complex, place-based societal challenges. By adopting a procedural perspective, the study advances understanding of how deliberation reshapes the internal logic of policymaking, enabling adaptive learning, coordination and institutional transformation. Design/met
Digitalization enables innovative applications in district heating and cooling (DHC), supporting decarbonization and sector integration. These applications rely heavily on data, making the shift toward a data economy a logical next step. A data economy would let stakeholders collect, share, and monetize data, encouraging sustainable innovation. However, limited data availability, interoperability
