Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an atomically resolved technique that allows for in depth analysis of the properties of materials by irradiating a thin sample with high energy electrons and detecting the signal imparted on, and generated by, the electron beam as it passes through. However, due to the strong interaction between electrons and matter, the sample will not remain unperturbed

Spectrum imaging with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) has become ubiquitous in material characterization using electron microscopy. Multivariate statistical methods, commonly principal component analysis (PCA), are often used to aid analysis of the resulting multidimensional datasets; PCA can provide denoising prior to further analysis or grouping of pixels into distinct phases with sim

Children’s understanding of death, bereavement and grief develop through socialisation where picture books also may play a role. The study explores how children’s picture books published in China (2010–2024), communicated themes of death, bereavement and grief. A systematic search identified 321 relevant books, of which 47 met the inclusion criteria and were analysed using both descriptive and a B

Switches and crossings are prone to failure thus making them drivers of unreliability in the operation of many railway systems. Unreliability is directly linked to punctuality which continues to limit, among other factors, the uptake of railways as a sustainable mode of transport. To fix this issue, there is a need for a better understanding of the contribution of railway sub-systems to train dela

Understanding the impact of various factors on train arrival delays is a prerequisite for effective railway traffic operating control and management. Existing studies model the train delay prediction problems using a single, generic equation, restricting their capability in accounting for heterogeneous impacts of spatiotemporal factors on arrival delays as the train travels along its route. The pa

This research project explores how theatre can contribute to democratic engagement. The starting point was artistic probes investigating aspects of democracy: participation, deliberation and inclusion. The probes resulted in three productions presented at theatre institutions in Sweden. In Skapa Demokrati (Creating Democracy), participation was promoted by encouraging the audience members to creat

This article focuses on the early history of Northwestern European opinion polling (1940s–1950s), specifically the cases of the Netherlands and Sweden. The evolution of opinion polling and its influence on post-war politics and society should be understood in light of processes of international transfer and entanglement. The Dutch-Swedish comparison brings into focus the ways in which the national

The excursion distribution of stochastic processes is important in many applications and is an important object in probability theory. The excursion distributions are defined as the time between a u-level up-crossing and the following down-crossing of the same level. While the notion of the excursion distribution might be intuitive, the general problem of describing it is not. Finding the excursio

This article is about the relation between (slow) memory and solidaric practices through the lens of a Warsaw-based activist group called Polskie Babcie (Polish Grandmothers). Driven by concerns for their grandchildren’s future, these grandmothers leaned heavily on memories as they manifested their support for the rule of law, the environment, LGBTQ+ rights, and more, during the rule of the nationThis article is about the relation between (slow) memory and solidaric practices through the lens of a Warsaw-based activist group called Polskie Babcie (Polish Grandmothers).

There are different ways to bring a cypress tree to mind. We might think about atree, speak about it, or imagine it. The cypress might come to us unbidden inmemory, or in dream. But we might also see a cypress tree, or feel its branches inour hands. This way of bringing the tree to mind is distinctive because the treeitself seems to be present in our experience. Our experience has perceptualpresen

This article critically examines two claims Mattia Riccardi ascribes to Nietzsche in his 2021 book Nietzsche’s Philosophical Psychology. The first is that Nietzsche’s main notion of consciousness should be interpreted as Rconsciousness. Rconsciousness is an awareness of a mental state or process that is achieved when that state is linguistically interpreted by another state. This article finds tha
