Radiant Exposures

In Radiant Exposures the artist introduces an exhibition architecture with two angled walls that steers visitors through the space and also provides a structure in which Barba’s films are screened and the artist’s sculptural works installed in a carefully orchestrated setting. Yet, signaling the importance of both film and sound as major themes in Rosa Barba’s practice, visitors will encounter the

Digital Competencies, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Education : An Introduction to the Digital Competency Framework to Develop Digital Pedagogical Competencies of Educators in Disaster Risk Reduction.

The COVID-19 pandemic was a novel biological hazard that emerged in 2019 and significantly impacted various sectors of society. While sectors such as the economy and health were severely affected, the education sector was no stranger to the grave impact of the pandemic. While the pandemic called for regulations such as lockdowns and social distancing, the education sector was required to shift the

Treatment Related to Urinary Tract Infections Is Associated with Delayed Diagnosis of Urinary Bladder Cancer : A Nationwide Population-based Study

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that urinary tract infections (UTIs) are associated with delayed diagnosis of bladder cancer (BC). Our aim was to investigate prediagnostic treatments related to UTI and the relation to BC diagnostic delay, reflected by advanced disease at diagnosis. METHODS: We used data from the BladderBaSe 2.0 with data of treatments related to UTI up to 3 yr befo

Ethics as an enabler and a constraint : Narratives on technology development and artificial intelligence in military affairs through the case of Project Maven

Project Maven is an AI-induced information technology for military applications initiated by the United States Department of Defence (DoD) in 2017 and originally signed on to a civilian contractor, namely Google. However, this initiative raised massive resistance from a substantial amount of Google employees, eventually leading to the contract's annulation. This article uses narrative analysis to

Pillage of the Sea : permanent sculpture in the sea

In Ostend, Rosa Barba presents Pillage of the Sea, 2021, a permanent sculpture. Barba has anchored an outsized cairn on the beach, imitating stones by pouring concrete in textile. The textile makes one think of the form of sandbags, with which Barba creates a type of imaginary barrier against the future rise in the sea level. Each stone symbolizes a city, the fate of which is threatened by climate

Coding for intangible competitive advantage : mapping the distribution and characteristics of software-developing firms in the Swedish economy

Software is at the core of digitalisation and is often claimed to play a central role in innovation and in shaping competition across industries and firms. There are yet few studies of the extent and nature of software development across firms. We employ a unique firm-level survey comprising 3,929 firms across Sweden to analyse the distribution and characteristics of firms that invest in software

Weavers

This original proposal by the artist and filmmaker Rosa Barba is deployed in two spaces of the art center. In the nave, she conceives an in situ project, in connection with the research carried out during her recent residency at the Atelier Calder, located in Saché. The second part of the exhibition takes place in the black gallery and immerses us in a cinematographic space mixing images and sculp

A Novel Bipolar PFC Converter for Battery Charging Application

Power electronic converters are pivotal while designing any charging scheme, regardless of the battery capacity and application. Nowadays, Power Factor Correction (PFC) converters have become popular for various battery charging systems due to their simple configurations. Single-Ended Primary-Inductor Converter (SEPIC) and Cuk PFC converters are preferred over buck-boost converters in this regard

Klimatanpassning av vägar i strandnära områden

I den här rapporten ges en sammanfattning av en del av resultaten och metoderna från projektet Klimatanpassning av väg och järnväg i strandnära områden. Projektet har finansierats av Trafikverket och syftar till att studera klimatrisker för kustnära vägar med avseende på översvämnings- och erosionsprocesser, samt hur den riskutsatta infrastrukturen kan skyddas genom hållbara och naturanpassade met

A survey of cyber security in the Swedish manufacturing industry

In this paper we explore cyber security practices in Swedish manufacturing firms. Manufacturing is being trans- formed by new technologies under the label of smart industry or industry 4.0. Most of these technologies are either digital themselves or depend on digital connectivity. Their use is made possible by electronic sensors, actuators, and other devices as well as by data-driven analysis. Thi

Forestation in CMIP6: wide model spread in tree cover and land carbon uptake

Forestation is expected to play an significant role as a terrestrial carbon dioxide removal technology in low-emission scenarios by storing carbon in the biosphere, thereby changing the physical properties of the land surface. To represent land use change, including afforestation and reforestation (AR), Earth system models (ESM) that contribute to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6

Structural characterization of an extracellular contractile injection system from Photorhabdus luminescens in extended and contracted states.

Contractile injection systems (CISs) are phage-tail-like nanosyringes that mediate bacterial interactions by puncturing target cell membranes. Within these systems, Photorhabdus Virulence Cassettes (PVCs) can translocate toxins across eukaryotic target cell membranes. The structure of a PVC has been described at atomic level and engineered to deliver diverse protein cargoes into non-natively-targe

The Archaeological Distribution of the Cuneiform Corpus : A Provisional Quantitative and Geospatial Survey

The present study offers a first comprehensive, quantifiable overview of the geographical extent and scale of the cuneiform corpus. Though one of the oldest and longest-lived scripts in history, the sheer size of this corpus, being among the largest discrete bodies of written source material from the pre-modern world, is seldom properly appreciated. We review and evaluate past quantitative assessm
