New technology is something threatening and often dangerous. At least that is the picture presented if you read modern children’s literature. – This is contradictory. Technology is becoming an increasingly integral part of everyday life, including in literature. But at the same time, there is often a concern or a hidden threat in technology, says Jakob Olsson, researcher at Karlstad University. Jakob Olsson has studied 249 books, published between 2000 and 2019.

Research on organic solar cells has been conducted for a long time. Recent advancements in understanding their molecular structures are now paving the way for the development of highly efficient solar cells. – By using atomic force microscopy-infrared spectroscopy, AFM-IR, we’ve been able to create clearer images of the morphology or structure of the material, says Ishita Jalan, postdoc in physical chemistry and main author of a recently published scientific article.

We are delighted to welcome Siri Jakobsson Störe. Her research interests primarily lie within clinical psychology, health psychology, and developmental psychology, closely linked to her background as a licensed psychologist. Siri, tell us about your background! – I earned my degree in psychology in Oslo before moving to Karlstad in 2013, where I began working in child and adolescent psychiatry. During my seven years there, I specialized in clinical psychology.

You have recently, together with Jakob Trischler, published a study that introduces a framework focusing on public services. Could you briefly tell us about the study and its findings? – The study builds on my previous research on services as value-creating practices. Simply put, it aims to create a reference framework to understand that services consist of concrete value-creating activities in which people actively participate.

Petter Falk, new doctor in Political Science at Karlstad University and the Service Research Centre (CTF), sheds light on conditions and grounds for datafication in his doctoral thesis “Assemble Care // Align Data”. – What surprised me the most was that datafication is intuitively accepted, despite a kind of intellectual resistance, says Petter Falk. The term “big data” is frequently used nowadays, but your research emphasises the importance of the small details.
