The aim of this chapter is to contribute to the knowledge on the organization of work in the textile supply chain on the eve of industrialization. To do this we make a case-study of Herman Krutmeijers Hosiery and textile factory which was active in Malmö between 1768 and 1784. We are especially interested in the role of the spinners and try to answer three specific questions: what did the organiza

Japan’s decision to end it contribution to the U.N.’s top gender equality body could hardly come at a worse time, both diplomatically and symbolically.

As global narratives of migration continue to focus disproportionately onmovements toward the Global North, "Migration Governance Beyond the West:Historical Legacies, Contemporary Trends, and Future Trajectories" shifts the lensto underexplored South-South migration flows. This timely and data-drivenvolume offers a comprehensive analysis of migration trends, governanceframeworks, and policy respon

Deep learning methods have significantly advanced the field of gaze estimation, yet the development of these algorithms is often hindered by a lack of appropriate publicly accessible training datasets. Moreover, models trained on the few available datasets often fail to generalize to new datasets due to both discrepancies in hardware and biological diversity among subjects. To mitigate these chall

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation is a complex process that is still not fully understood. Despite decades of research on CSF and its distinct functions, there still remain a number of open questions regarding the mechanisms that govern its circulation. The recently discovered glymphatic system, which is mostly active during sleep, clears the brain from extracellular metabolites and waste prod

This paper aims to explore and conceptualise the marketing work of e-commerce managers. It draws on an ethnographically inspired study involving 21 e-commerce managers and approaches marketing work as a set of socio-material practices. The analysis shows that the marketing work of e-commerce managers centres on assembling, adjusting, and maintaining ‘marketing machines’ – complex market devices de

Introduction: Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is observed in both physiological and pathological states. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality in neonates and children and curative pharmacotherapy is lacking in most cases. In utero, a high PVR allows for blood to bypass the lungs through the open ductus arteriosus (DA). Vascular

Chest pain is one of the most common reasons for emergency department (ED) visits. Extensive diagnostic testing is often performed to identify acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but only about 10% of patients ultimately receive an ACS diagnosis. These diagnostic processes are costly, time-consuming, and sometimes invasive, carrying inherent risks. Additionally, most patients with suspected ACS are adm

Meniscus tears are common after knee injuries. The current treatment in patients under the age of 40 is typically arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) or arthroscopic meniscus repair. Meniscus tears and surgeries are associated with an accelerated progression to knee osteoarthritis (OA) and disability. PAPER I is an observational cohort study, utilising the Skåne Healthcare Register (SHR) to id

Smart firefighting is a concept in which the rescue service uses technological aids to retrieve, compile and present data as part of intelligence gathering to work out their firefighting strategy. The aim of this report is to map what kind of sensors in present-day smart buildings management systems that may offer relevant data in terms of operational support for the rescue service. Interviews hav

This thesis examines the role of German-language Catholic prayer books in the re-Catholicisation of Protestants during the approximate timeline 1540–1590. Within the broader context of the Catholic Reformation, these prayer books served as instruments of doctrinal transmission and devotional instruction, representing a form of ‘soft’ re-Catholicisation in contrast to the coercive methods used by s
