The Memory of Meanings : The Images of Jewish-Catholic Relations in Interwar Lublin in Oral Histories

This work explores narratives of Jewish-Catholic relations in interwar Lublin, as recalled by its Jewish and Catholic inhabitants by the end of their lives. Thus, it concerns both memory and intergroup relations and seeks to understand the attitudes towards the religious Other. The main body of sources for this qualitative study is a collection of oral histories from the Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre

Pursuing futures through children: Crisis, social reproduction and transformation in Burundi’s transnational families

Based on multisited fieldwork in Kigali, Rwanda, Belgium, and the Netherlands following the political crisis in Burundi in 2015, we explore decisions and plans for the future among Burundians in exile. In this way, we contribute to research about future making and social reproduction in families in a transnational social field affected by crisis. Adding to the literature, we show the specific effe

Invisibility in African displacements: From structural marginalization to strategies of avoidance

African migrants have become increasingly demonised in public debate and political rhetoric. There is much speculation about the incentives and trajectories of Africans on the move, and often these speculations are implicitly or overtly geared towards discouraging and policing their movements. What is rarely understood or scrutinised however, are the intricate ways in which African migrants are ma

Application of uncertainty analysis to groundwater pollution modeling

Prediction and evaluation of pollution of the subsurface environment and planning remedial actions at existing sites may be useful for siting and designing new land-based waste treatment or disposal facilities. Most models used to make such predictions assume that the system behaves deterministically. A variety of factors, however, introduce uncertainty into the model predictions. The factors incl

Numerical simulation of fatty acids in lake sediments

The finite element model was successfully applied to predict the Pb-210 and total extractable fatty acid concentrations at different depths in two sediment cores from Lake Ontario by using different transport parameters. The transport parameters were computed from Pb-210 data. These parameters were used to simulate the total extractable fatty acid concentrations at different depths. The computed r

Spara, laga, bo : Husdrömmar i mäklarreklam från 1960-, 70- och 80-talet

I denna artikel ställer jag frågor till arkivmaterial ur vardagstrycket: ett antal mäklarbroschyrer och reklamutskick analyseras med fokus på husdrömmar. Vilka husdrömmar gestaltas? Vem antas bo här, hur, var och varför? Vem är husdrömmaren, vilken värld, tid, människa och bostadskultur framträder i materialet? Jag jämför material från 1970- och 1980-tal med slutsatser jag dragit i min forskning o

Pedagogiska problem och lösningar i pandemitid : En samling lärarberättelser

Covid-19-pandemin blev en global kris med konsekvenser för såväl offentliga och kollektiva som privata och individuella vardagspraktiker. Svenska universitet fick med kort varsel lägga om all undervisning så att den kunde utföras på distans. Bidragen i denna antologi består av en samling berättelser skrivna utifrån ett antal universitetslärares undervisningsvardag under en omvälvande tid. De repreA collection of teacher's stories about their pedagogical problems and solutions during the covid-19 pandemic

Discrepancy in responses to the surprise question between hemodialysis nurses and physicians, with focus on patient clinical characteristics : A comparative study

INTRODUCTION: The surprise question (SQ) "Would I be surprised if this patient died within the next xx months" can be used by different professions to foresee the need of serious illness conversations in patients approaching end of life. However, little is known about the different perspectives of nurses and physicians in responses to the SQ and factors influencing their appraisals. The aim was to

Ground-state heterogeneity and vibrational energy redistribution in bacterial phytochrome observed with femtosecond 2D IR spectroscopy

Phytochromes belong to a group of photoreceptor proteins containing a covalently bound biliverdin chromophore that inter-converts between two isomeric forms upon photoexcitation. The existence and stability of the photocycle products are largely determined by the protein sequence and the presence of conserved hydrogen-bonding interactions in the vicinity of the chromophore. The vibrational signatu

High-pressure tuning of primary photochemistry in bacterial photosynthesis : membrane-bound versus detergent-isolated reaction centers

While photosynthesis thrives at close to normal pressures and temperatures, it is presently well known that life is similarly commonplace in the hostile environments of the deep seas as well as around hydrothermal vents. It is thus imperative to understand how key biological processes perform under extreme conditions of high pressures and temperatures. Herein, comparative steady-state and picoseco
