In this article, we argue for the value of student podcasts for fostering dialogue around questions of poetry and sustainable futures in an English as a foreign language context. Our research draws on our experiences of inviting student teachers to create their own podcasts on a recently published poem about nature or the Anthropocene, or both, in our first-year literature course for those studyin
Lon Fuller famously argued that polycentric issues are not readily amenable to binary and adversarial forms of adjudication. When it comes to resource allocations involving various interested parties, binary polemical forms of decision making may fail to capture the polycentric nature of the dispute, namely the fact that an advantage conferred to one party invariably involves (detrimentally) affec
In the wake of sustainability challenges and geopolitical tensions, the circular economy and x-shoring have received increasing attention as possible solutions or models for future development. Both concepts have an important geographic dimension and share other features such as foci on resilience and security. In this article, we elaborate on the two concepts and explore common drivers, potential
Entanglement is a key feature of quantum mechanics1–3, with applications in fields such as metrology, cryptography, quantum information and quantum computation4–8. It has been observed in a wide variety of systems and length scales, ranging from the microscopic9–13 to the macroscopic14–16. However, entanglement remains largely unexplored at the highest accessible energy scales. Here we report the
The Grobe-Eberly doublet phenomenon occurs in photoelectron distributions when a field dresses the remaining ion. Its manifestation is due to entanglement between a free electron and a hybrid state of light and matter. Direct detection of such entanglement is however not possible by coincidence schemes due to the dressing mechanism having an inconspicuous phase-correlation effect on the ion. Here,
We predict an unexplored type of ultrastrong coupling between atoms and intense ultraviolet light that leads to giant population oscillations on the attosecond timescale. These counter-rotating oscillations stem from the interference of energy-conserving and nonconserving photon absorption and emission processes via Rydberg states. They can be of similar amplitude as the elementary femtosecond Rab
Current advancements in molecular techniques for identifying multiple species from bulked soil samples have expanded our capacity for large-scale soil biodiversity assessments. However, these methods often lack validation and contextualization. Recent cross-European studies based on environmental DNA (eDNA) have reported unexpectedly high biodiversity in intensively managed agricultural soils comp
Climate neutrality of cities has emerged as a critical goal for sustainable urban development. This is typified by the mission in the European Union (EU) to achieve 100 climate neutral and smart cities by 2030. The idea of carbon or climate neutrality holds diverse interpretations. This paper investigates the dominant socio-technical imaginary for urban climate neutrality within the context of the
Objective To evaluate any association of the presence and severity of nine major symptoms (pain, tiredness, drowsiness, nausea, appetite, breathlessness, depression, anxiety, and perceived well-being) with sleep quality and duration in elderly men.Design and setting Cross-sectional analysis within the population-based VAScular and Chronic Obstructive Lung disease study (VASCOL) conducted in southe
BackgroundBreathlessness is a common and distressing symptom across a wide range of medical conditions. Different aspects (dimensions) of breathlessness can be assessed using the Multidimensional Dyspnoea Profile (MDP) and Dyspnoea-12 (D12) questionnaires. We aimed to examine whether the order of completing MDP and D12 affects the breathlessness responses in people with cardiorespiratory disease.M
In this podcast mini-series, we talk with members of the Breaking Up Silos project, which is a research project involving researchers from Sweden and The Netherlands and practitioners in the cities of Stockholm and Amsterdam. The project aims to increase the understanding of how the EU's mission for climate-neutral cities can break up silos and provide innovative governance approaches and tools t
In the active exploration of novel biobased semicrystalline polyesters to replace petrochemical plastics, AB-type aromatic condensation polymerizations are relatively rarely investigated but gain growing attention due to the straightforward synthesis of AB-type monomers from diverse asymmetric biobased feedstocks. However, achieving high molecular weights through AB-type melt polycondensations is
The need for large-scale production of highly accurate simulated event samples for the extensive physics programme of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider motivates the development of new simulation techniques. Building on the recent success of deep learning algorithms, variational autoencoders and generative adversarial networks are investigated for modelling the response of the cent
Hur skapar man samsyn och samarbete i en kommunal koncern där förvaltningar tidigare tänkte i stuprör? I Höganäs växte en kultur av gemensamt ansvar fram genom vardagliga berättelser och budgetprocessen. Den här artikeln berättar historien om hur kommunen etablerade en koncernledningsgrupp för att styra sin samlade verksamhet. Eller var det egentligen en koncernkultur som växte fram?
Årsredovisningens förvaltningsberättelse är mer än formaliteter. Den ska ge en tydlig bild av verksamheten och ge underlag för framtida beslut. Här finns stora möjligheter att höja kvaliteten ytterligare. Forskare vid Ekonomihögskolan, Lunds universitet, ger konkreta tips för hur berättelsen kan bli tydligare och mer användbar.
Försörjningsberedskap är återigen centralt för Sverige och man inser att samhällsviktiga försörjningskedjor består av såväl olika slags myndigheter som privata, ofta globala, företag. För att höja beredskap, behövs ett mer gemensamt arbete med risker och kontinuitetshantering i försörjningskedjor. Det finnas dock stora samverkansutmaningar i detta privat-offentliga gränssnitt. Artikeln beskriver e
