The power of love has become a renewed matter of feminist and non-feminist attention in the 21st century’s theory debates. What is this power? Is it a form of domination? Or is it a liberating force in our contemporary societies?Within Feminism and the Power of Love lies the central argument that, although love is a crucial site of gendered power asymmetries, it is also a vital source of human emp

Gunnarsson highlights how dialectics can shed light on the relation between love and dominance, foregrounding the crucial role that ontological tensions play in self–other relating. Drawing on Roy Bhaskar’s dialectical critical realist philosophy, she expands on Jessica Benjamin’s analysis of male dominance, as well as other feminist work, and elaborates on the necessity of living-with rather thanGunnarsson highlights how dialectics can shed light on the relation between love and dominance, foregrounding the crucial role that ontological tensions play in self–other relating.

This thesis investigates a hitherto under-researched topic in Septuagint studies, the Septuagint neologisms, that is, the words which are first attested in the Septuagint, taking as a case in point a deuterocanonical/apocryphal book originally written in Greek, the Second Book of Maccabees (2 Maccabees). The thesis first examines how the neologisms have so far been treated in Septuagint studies an

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological evidence on the association between ambient air pollution and breast cancer risk is inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: We examined the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and incidence of postmenopausal breast cancer in European women. METHODS: In 15 cohorts from nine European countries, individual estimates of air pollution levels at the residence wer

För ett par år sedan rasade en tämligen hätsk mediedebatt om studenters skrivande. Debatten inleddes med ”ett veritabelt nödrop” då nio historiker i en artikel i Upsala Nya Tidning beklagade sig över studenters bristfälliga skrivande (Enefalk et al., 2013). Studenternas obefintliga historiekunskaper hade de fått förlika sig med för länge sedan, anförde de. Men nu, när till och med kommunikationsfö

No Child Left Behind och Race to the Top är namnen på två stora skolreformer i USA. Common Core är namnet på den nationellt övergripande standardiseringen av de tester som kopplats till reformarbetet. Hur har reformerna utfallit? Martin Malmström kommenterar den amerikanska utvecklingen. (red)

The purpose of this study is to examine how teachers' PCK is expressed in a Science teaching practice, both from a teacher and a student perspective. The study is a qualitative study of three teachers' physics classroom lectures in grades 7-8. International research highlights the teacher's impact on students' achievement in general and in science education in particular and there are several ongo

Isomeric states in isotopes in the vicinity of doubly-magic 208Pb were populated following reactions of a relativistic 208Pb primary beam impinging on a 9Be fragmentation target. Secondary beams of 198,200,202,206Pb and 206Hg were isotopically separated and implanted in a passive stopper positioned in the focal plane of the GSI Fragment Separator. Delayed γ rays were detected with the Advanced Gam

Boken är en lärobok avsedd för litteraturanalys i gymnasiets kurser i svenska.

There is a popular discourse in Sweden describing student writing as defective. In the article, the writing part of the national test in Swedish for upper secondary school is analysed, in order to discuss the state and possible change of student writing. Student texts from 1976, 1986, 1996, 2005, and 2012 are investigated. Drawing on Hultman and Westman (1977), in the quantitative part nominality

Purpose: The paper explores what emotions do in social science education through two specific cases and discusses the relation between emotion and politicization in the subject education. Method/approach: The cases are selected from an on-going dissertation project that uses interviews, video and observations in examining how social science education is played out in practice, with a focus on the

AbstractParkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases in humans. It is a slowly progressing neurological disorder exhibiting major symptoms including resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. PD also gives rise to non-motor symptoms such as loss of olfaction, gastrointestinal system disruption, cognitive functional decline, etc. The loss of do
