While recent cognitive science research shows a renewed interest in understanding intelligence, there is still little consensus on what constitutes intelligent behaviour and how it should be assessed. Here we propose a refined approach to biological intelligence as accurate prediction, according to which intelligent behaviour should be understood as adaptive control driven by the minimisation of u

Denna uppsats har undersökt rättssäkerhetsaspekterna vid separation av barn och unga i Statens institutionsstyrelses (SiS) särskilda ungdomshem, med särskilt fokus på personalens utbildningsnivå samt tillsynens effektivitet. Genom en rättsdogmatisk analys har det konstaterats att separation utgör en ingripande tvångsåtgärd med betydande konsekvenser för den unges fri- och rättigheter. Trots att lThis paper has examined the legal certainty aspects of the separation of children and young people in SiS special youth homes, with a particular focus on the level of education of the staff and the effectiveness of supervision. Through a legal dogmatic analysis, it has been established that separation constitutes an intrusive coercive measure that has significant consequences for the young person&

The widespread contamination of urban soils by airborne microplastics (MPs) is an emerging environmental issue, particularly in urban allotment gardens with home-grown food. This study investigates the vertical distribution of MP in three such gardens in Berlin, Germany, over 90 days. Soil samples were collected at three depths (0-1 cm, 1–15 cm, and 15–30 cm) and analyzed for MP composition and oc

Agricultural intensification is widely recognised as a primary driver of pollinator loss, but the success of land-management actions designed to remediate its impact is often mixed. Payments to farmers to increase habitat connectivity or the availability of floral and nesting resources may only result in short-term gains or even unintended consequences. The reasons may lie in changes to interactio

The enhancement and protection of coastal ecosystems that sequester carbon for climate change mitigation have developed over the last 15 years, and today are part of climate governance. After an initially challenging start in terms of policy interest, Blue Carbon is now included in some countries’ national inventories, and as such, enters the global sums of emissions and sinks, and becomes relevan

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change needs to do more to include the expertise and voices of women, even as numbers and policies improve.

Declining butterfly abundance over recent decades coincides with both habitat loss and increasingly warmer springs. Warmer temperatures could pose a problem for ‘capital’ breeders, especially those species that enter winter diapause as a pupa or adult, since a higher metabolic rate pre-eclosion is expected to further deplete lipid stores needed for egg production. We undertook an experiment on Pie

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) represent a concern for the environment and human health due to their persistence and toxicity. Exposure in Slovenia is geographically differentiated because the country, as part of former Yugoslavia, has a history of industry and regional contamination and is – at the same time – known for its clean nature. The PCB pollution of the Krupa River drew the public'

Over the past two decades, caesarean section rates have been steadily increasing with rates are now approaching 55% in some European countries. While caesarean section remains one of the most critical obstetric interventions, often lifesaving for both mother and newborn, it also carries significant risks for maternal and neonatal health. The growing reliance on caesarean birth is further linked to

BACKGROUND: Preventing infection in primary sutured perineal tears after childbirth is crucial to avoid systemic antibiotic use and potential complications from poor healing. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of an antibacterial, triclosan-coated suture (VicrylPlus ®) in reducing infection in primary sutured childbirth-related perineal tears. METHODS: The PLUS study was a single-center,

Mänsklig aktivitet i buffertzonen på Cypern gör det nödvändigt att för det första utveckla en tydlig förståelse av detta områdes folkrättsliga status och för det andra i möjligaste mån besvara spörsmål om vem som har det folkrättsliga ansvaret där. Före-varande studie behandlar dessa frågor i tre delar: - Kapitel 2 ger en kort beskrivning av buffertzonen och dess historia, från dess inrättande 197

This bachelor thesis has been conducted in collaboration with TeamVate. The project focuses on the development and implementation of an onboarding wizard within TeamVate’s App Studio. The goal is to improve user experience and effectiveness for new users. To reach this goal, we implemented an iterative design process, using Norman’s heuristics, creating both Lo-Fi and Hi-Fi prototypes and conducti

This master’s thesis was done in collaboration with Qlik with the aim of investigating and comparing the onboarding process between the Business intelligence (BI) tools Qlik Sense and Power BI. BI tools are used to transform raw data into structured information that can be strategically used for decision-making. The study followed an iterative design process, where the first iteration was to ident

Early cathedrals in Lund and DalbyThe aim of the article is to present and critically re-evaluate the written end material sources concerning the early cathedrals of Lund and Dalby in Scania, former medieval Denmark and now part of Sweden. The main questions are where and when did exist cathedrals in Scania in the 11th Century, how were their architecture, how can they be dated, and why were there
