Adapting the Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda to the city level: Initial reflections from a comparative research project

The Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda recognise the roleof cities in achieving sustainable development. However, these agendas wereagreed and signed by national governments and thus implementing them at thelocal level requires a process of adaptation or localisation. In this paper, we analyse five aspects that practitioners and researchers need to consider when localising them

CDK2 kinase activity is a regulator of male germ cell fate

The ability of men to remain fertile throughout their lives depends upon establishment of a spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) pool from gonocyte progenitors, and thereafter balancing SSC renewal vs terminal differentiation. Here, we report that precise regulation of the cell cycle is crucial for this balance. Whereas cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) is unnecessary for mouse viability or gametogenesis

Kultur och värdegrundsarbete ur ett tillitsperspektiv

Med tillitsbaserad styrning och ledning vill vi öka möjligheten för medarbetare att använda sitt professionella omdöme. Detta utrymme påverkas emellertid inte bara av styrningen, utan även av kulturen i organisationen och i sektorn i stort. För att bidra till en god förvaltningskultur bedriver idag de flesta offentliga organisationer ett strukturerat värdegrundsarbete. Många myndigheter väljer att

Uppföljning ur ett tillitsperspektiv

Uppföljning är nödvändig i alla verksamheter. Det finns emellertid mycket som tyder på att vi lägger alltför stora resurser på uppföljning och att vi dessutom följer upp på fel sätt. I denna rapport diskuterar jag hur uppföljning kan utformas för att bidra till ökad tillit i allmänhet och ökad tillit till de medborgarnära professionerna i synnerhet, inom ramen för offentliga organisationer. Jag sl

Striving for democracy in the nordic context: possibilities for change through innovative cases of activist music practices

In this roundtable we will present three cases of activist music education, in other words innovative and inclusive practices of music education initiated by courageous institutional leaders and teachers in the Finnish and Swedish context. By activism we mean professional thinking and action that strives toward new ways of making change inside and outside educational institutions through four char

Gender assignment in six North Scandinavian languages : Patterns of variation and change

This study addresses gender assignment in six North Scandinavian varieties with a three-gender system: Old Norse, Norwegian (Nynorsk), Old Swedish, Nysvenska, Jamtlandic, and Elfdalian. Focusing on gender variation and change, we investigate the role of various factors in gender change. Using the contemporary Swedish varieties Jamtlandic and Elfdalian as a basis, we compare gender assignment in ot

The causality of borrowing : Lexical loans in Eurasian languages

All languages borrow words from other languages. Some languages are more prone to borrowing, while others borrow less, and different domains of the vocabulary are unequally susceptible to borrowing. Languages typically borrow words when a new concept is introduced, but languages may also borrow a new word for an already existing concept. Linguists describe two causalities for borrowing: need, i.e.

Reconstructing the Evolution of Indo-European Grammar

This study uses phylogenetic methods adopted from computational biology in order to reconstruct features of Proto-Indo-European morphosyntax. We estimate the probability of the presence of typological features in Proto-Indo-European on the assumption that these features change according to a stochastic process governed by evolutionary transition rates between them. We compare these probabilities t
