Well-being in digital-free tourism: A mixed-methods rhythmanalysis

Tourism research has largely treated well-being as a motivation or outcome, neglecting how it unfolds in-situ and relying on self-report data. Through a mixed-methods rhythmanalysis, this study examines how well-being emerges and evolves in digital-free tourism. Following 23 part...

Airflows redefine the cost of aerial transport in the wild

Fuel economy matters to both animals and machines, as the cost of transport can determine where, when, and how far locomotion is possible. However, established estimates of these values for animal flight come from laboratories and treat the atmosphere as constant, even though fre...

The youth sport specialization paradox: A think tank consensus to translate research into actionable evidence-based practice

Scientific evidence shows that early sport specialization is neither necessary nor beneficial for achieving elite performance and may harm athletes’ long-term success, health, and well-being. Yet, accelerated youth sport practices remain widespread, creating what we term the yout...

Recognized but displaced: Uranium mill tailings and the sustainability accounting of nuclear energy

Nuclear-energy sustainability is usually debated through reactor performance, carbon intensity, fuel availability, operational safety and spent-fuel disposal. Less visible are the front-end residues generated by uranium production, especially uranium mill tailings (UMT), likely t...

Resistance of birch wood modified with sorbitol-citric acid to white-rot decay and weathering

Abstract The increasing interest in sustainable and bio-based wood modification strategies has led to growing attention toward improving the performance of low-durability wood species for exterior applications. Sorbitol-citric acid (SorCA) modification has previously been reporte...

Building and construction in preschool – between policy classification and children’s learning

Abstract This article explores the positioning of building and construction activities in Swedish preschool authoritative documents from the 1950s and onwards. Drawing on the concept of classification, the study analyses how these activities have shifted from being situated withi...

Healthcare professionals’ perceptions of participation and learning related to mealtimes in long-term care facilities: an interview study

Abstract Background Mealtimes in long-term care facilities are complex and serve multiple purposes. They provide opportunities for participation and learning, involving residents, relatives and healthcare professionals, each with unique circumstances. Participation and learning a...

Meta-ethnography and policy effectiveness: an Evidential Pluralism perspective

Abstract Evidence-based policy is typically grounded in a narrow conception of evidence, one that prioritises comparative studies and quantitative meta-analyses as the preferred base for establishing causal claims. However, this prevailing theory of evidence—often implicitly adop...

Convolutions of Orlicz spaces and Orlicz Schatten classes, with applications to Toeplitz operators

Abstract Let $$\Phi $$ Φ be a Young function. We study convolution properties for symbol classes $$s_{A,\Phi }$$ s A , Φ , which consist of all a such that the pseudo-differential operator $$\operatorname {Op}_A(a)$$ Op A ( a ) is in the Orlicz Schatten class $$\mathscr {I}_\Phi...

Promoting Reading Among L2 Students in Grade 2–9 Within a Response to Intervention Framework

In Swedish compulsory schools, many L2 students need evidence-based instruction to develop foundational reading skills and reading proficiency. Earlier studies show that supplementary instruction within an RTI framework can support reading development in Swedish as a second langu...

Core Strength and Side-Hop Interlimb Asymmetries Are Associated with Subsequent Traumatic Knee Injury in Female Football Players

The aim of this prospective cohort study was to examine the associations between muscle strength and functional interlimb asymmetries and the subsequent occurrence of traumatic knee injuries in female football players. A secondary aim was to evaluate the ability of asymmetry meas...

Stakeholder Alignment Around Technological Pathways in Early‐Stage Sustainability Transitions: A Study of Stakeholder‐Perceived Stakes in Aviation Decarbonization

ABSTRACT This paper examines how stakeholder groups become aligned or remain misaligned around alternative technological pathways during early‐stage sustainability transitions. We develop the concept of stakeholder‐perceived stakes, capturing how stakeholder groups evaluate techn...

Severe thiamine deficiency in Baltic salmon coincides with low wild recruitment, increasingly so at long migration distances

Thiamine deficiency is a condition implicated as a driver of population declines across continents and taxa. In salmonids, symptoms of this deficiency are often observed in compensatory hatcheries, where large parts of the clutches display severe neurological disorders and die. H...

The global cost of automobility

This study quantifies the private and social costs of global automobility and evaluates the potential economic benefits of a transition to shared electric autonomous mobility-as-a-service (E-AV-MaaS). Using comprehensive cost components, including accidents, emissions, air pollut...

Assessing ethical competence and ethical climate: development and psychometric testing of the Clinical Ethics Support Measurement Instrument (CES-MI)

Abstract Background Clinical ethics support (CES) is increasingly recognised as essential in healthcare, yet its evaluation remains challenging due to the complexity of CES practices and the latent, psychosocial nature of relevant outcomes. The European Moral Case Deliberation Ou...

Programmes, Actor–Networks, and Discretion: Bureaucracy in Action at the Swedish Enforcement Authority

Abstract This study explores the Swedish Enforcement Authority’s decision-making process to unpack the bureaucratic production chain and the roles of tools and artefacts. The aim is to explore and describe the organization of decisions, with a focus on the ‘programming’ of the de...

Influence of Ag2O on structural evolution, dissolution behavior and antibacterial response of sodium-calcium aluminoborophosphate glasses

The influence of low-level (0.25–0.75 mol%) silver oxide (Ag 2 O) substitution for Na 2 O on glass structure and in vitro dissolution of sodium–calcium aluminoborophosphate glasses was investigated. Spectroscopic analysis showed that the borate sub-network is dominated by BO 4 un...

Music, Emotions, and Relationships: Professionals’ Experiences of the Feasibility of a Music Group Intervention for Children in Shelters After Exposure to Domestic Violence

Abstract Purpose Children residing in shelters after exposure to domestic violence have specific needs shaped by both past experiences and current circumstances. They often have limited access to structured leisure activities and health-promoting interventions. This study explore...

Recent Increaseof Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Cryosphere-InfluencedReservoirs under Climate Change

Abstract Global warming leads to cryosphere degradation, transferring large amounts of terrestrial carbon and nitrogen to reservoirs, which may accelerate the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere. However, the spatial dynamics and decadal trends of GHG emissions f...

An interdependency perspective on disruption: crossfield discussion and literature extension

Purpose This paper departs from how the literature is filled with partly contradictory notions on disruption, while lacking a perspective that interlinks disruption causes of technology, business model and mindset with disruption effects beyond focal firms and industries. The pur...
