This Perspective suggests six conceptual propositions to advance care-centric planning and governance in support of SDG 11. By prioritizing relationships, responsiveness, and collective well-being, while also integrating empowerment, environmental stewardship, and cultural diversity, a care-centric approach fosters more inclusive and sustainable cities. Drawing on selected practice-based examples,
Through a systematic review this study critically examines existing peer-reviewed evidence on the often-overlooked gender dimensions of the just energy transition. We found 52 peer-review journal papers focusing on three main themes: (1) how energy production can worsen pre-existing gender-based vulnerabilities, (2) how energy consumption can reproduce gender-based energy poverty and (3) how femin
Establishing robust charging infrastructure is crucial for electric vehicle (EV) adoption. This study addresses the lack of systematic literature reviews examining the global charging infrastructure research landscape with a comprehensive review of English literature published between 2017 and 2023. We screened 12237 records, and analyzed 137 peer-reviewed and 31 grey literature studies. Findings
The lower infrastructure requirements of portable ultra-low field MRI (ULF-MRI) systems have enabled their use in diverse settings such as intensive care units and remote medical facilities. The UNITY Project is an international neuroimaging network harnessing this technology, deploying portable ULF-MRI systems globally to expand access to MRI for studies into brain development. Given the wide ran
Designing technologies that clothe, adorn, or are otherwise placed on the body raises questions concerning the role they will play in dressing ourselves. We situate self-fashioning - or the process through which we stylise and present our bodies - as a complex practice where a series of social, material, and contextual factors shape how we present ourselves. Informed by reflective discussions and
Antibiotics are used to treat both humans and animals for both preventive and therapeutic purposes. The overreliance on and misuse of antibiotics has given rise to a stealth pandemic, known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Globally, they pose a significant threat to human, animal, and environmental health. Surveillance of antibiotic residues in the environment, especially in wastewater, for tack
Abstract We test a novel, stochastic model of osmotic water transport in aquaporins. A solute molecule present at the pore mouth can either be reflected or permeate the pore. We assume that only reflected solute molecules induce osmotic transport of water through the pore, while permeating solute molecules give rise to no water transport. Accordingly, the rate of water transport is proportional t
This column presents the evolution of sentiment analysis from a requirements engineering perspective. With large language models, the technology is now accessible to all. From novices to expert users, we discuss suitable ways to get started.
Antibody–enzyme complexes (AECs) are ideal molecular recognition elements for im-munosensing applications. One molecule possesses both a binding ability to specific targets and catalytic activity to gain signals, particularly oxidoreductases, which can be integrated into rapid and sensitive electrochemical measurements. The development of AECs using fragment antibodies rather than intact antibodie
This thesis, comprising four research papers, contributes to the field of systematic and computer-aided analyses and design of first-order methods. The first two papers focus on developing new methodologies, while the remaining two apply these techniques to refine complexity and convergence results, as well as to design new methods. A central theme of the work is the use of Lyapunov-type analyses,
Channel sounding is a vital step in the design and deployment of wireless communication systems. In this article, we present the design and implementation of a coherent distributed massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channel sounder operating at 5 and 6GHz with a bandwidth of 400MHz based on the NI USRP X410. Through the integration of multiple transceiver chains and radio frequency (RF)
This article describes some of the findings from the ongoing Swedish research project “System Integrity Protection Schemes for added transfer capacity” (SPS4SE). The focus of the SPS4SE project has been to gather knowledge on how System Integrity Protection Schemes (SIPS) can be utilized to support a sustainable development of the Swedish power grid and the Nordic power system.
The low water flux and high production cost of ceramic membranes for vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) are among the factors limiting their feasibility for desalination applications. To address this challenge, highly permeable anodic alumina membranes were modified and evaluated for their properties in VMD using a highly permeable support. Owing to the nanostructures on its surface, the anodic al
Spine Computed Tomography (SCT) is essential for identifying fractures, tumors and degenerative spine diseases, assisting medical practitioners in formulating an accurate diagnosis and treatment. One of the core element of SCT is reporting. The effectiveness of spine reporting is often limited by challenges such as an inadequate infrastructure and lack of experts. Automated SCT analysis has the po
BACKGROUND Recurrent cervical cancer is a life-threatening disease, with limited treatment options available when disease progression occurs after first-line combination therapy. METHODS We conducted a phase 3, multinational, open-label trial of tisotumab vedotin as second- or third-line therapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. Patients were randomly assigned, in a 1:1 rat
This is the second article in the psychological elements of palliative care (PEPC) series. This series focuses on how key concepts from psychotherapy can be used in the context of palliative care to improve communication and fine tune palliative care interventions. In this article, we introduce two foundational concepts: frame and formulation. The frame is the context in which care is delivered; i
