The legal sphere is increasingly moving towards the metasphere, through the adoption of virtual reality technologies across legal procedures, processes, and education. This article examines how this shift affects the execution and experience of criminal justice. Drawing on procedural justice theory and sociological perspectives, it explores how metaverse-based justice reshapes human connection, co

Within digital games, the traditional role of the animal is the role of a monster (and at times even non-human animals such as the wolf or bear) to slay or run away from (Johansson & Rübsamen 2024). This presents a dichotomous relationshipbetween the representation of the animal and the human-animal interactions, in which the player is often left with few choices in how to act. In many open-w

North Atlantic winter climate variability is strongly governed by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which represents the dominant mode of atmospheric circulation variability over the North Atlantic-European sector. Variations in the NAO influence regional temperature, precipitation, storm tracks, and near-surface wind across Europe. Understanding the variability, drivers, and future changes of

Greater sharing of resources is widely promoted as a pathway to sufficiency, ecological sustainability and social equity. However, existing sharing economy scholarship has largely approached sharing through the lens of access, leaving underlying ownership structures and the associated power relations insufficiently examined. This article foregrounds ownership as a critical analytical lens on shari

Forecasts of AI-driven job destruction rest on counting automatable tasks. But labour markets hire, pay, and fire whole occupations, not tasks – and occupations have proved far more durable than task exposure implies. Drawing on 140 years of Swedish census and register data, this column shows that roughly seven in ten workers today are in occupations whose core functions already existed in the lat

BACKGROUND: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a prevalent and impairing mental disorder that typically onsets in adolescence. Cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) may be effective for adolescent BDD, although the supporting evidence is currently limited. CBT for BDD is a highly specialized treatment, creating a considerable gap in access to care for young people. Therapist-guided Internet-delivered CB

Previous studies have reported substantial involvement of the noradrenergic system in Parkinson's disease. Neuromelanin-sensitive MRI sequences and PET tracers have become available to visualize the cell bodies in the locus coeruleus and the density of noradrenergic terminal transporters. Combining these methods, we investigated the relationship of neurodegeneration in these distinct compartments

Thyroid [123I]MIBG uptake is proposed as a tool for differentiating between Parkinson's disease (PD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) on [123I]MIBG scintigraphies since both patient groups show decreased cardiac uptake. One study compared thyroid [123I]MIBG uptake in DM and PD patients and reported reduced [123I]MIBG uptake only in the PD group. Here, we investigated thyroid [123I]MIBG uptake in patient
