This is a contribution written for aspiring teachers of religionskundskap. It depicts what it means to grow up as a Buddhist, including reflections on childhood in Buddhist early sources and the childhood of the historical Buddha. It starts out with looking at children growing up among Buddhists and includes, in the end, South Asian Buddhist child monks as well as American and European perspective
Peatlands are vital ecosystems that regulate global carbon storage and hydrology, driven by waterlogged conditions that foster organic matter accumulation. However, disentangling the interactions between climate, hydrology, and tree growth in peatlands remains challenging. To investigate these relationships, we developed a 117-year ring width (RW) chronology (1902–2019) and complementary intra-ann
This interdisciplinary thesis examines the nexus of memory, war, and digitality inthe context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Since 2014, the unfolding Russianwar against Ukraine has epitomised how rapid technological developments haveprofoundly altered the ways in which warfare is depicted, perceived, and waged intoday’s world. These transformations have enabled new forms of engagement withwa
An integrated framework is introduced and applied to assess the health impact of airborne pollution with greater physiological relevance, moving beyond conventional exposure metrics. Measured particle number size distribution data was integrated with a regional respiratory tract deposition fractions to estimate total and alveolar deposited particle surface area concentrations. Land use regression
Responding to recent studies on the reception of Church Fathers, this paper contributes a study of how Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples edited the writings of ps.-Dionysius the Areopagite in Latin. Focusing on how Lefèvre revised the Latin translation by Ambrogio Traversari (1386-1439), I argue that Lefèvre adapted Traversari's text to a new context by aligning the translation with earlier Latin renderin
This volume charts the history of transnational and transatlantic fascism in East Central and Southeastern Europe, a lesser-known phenomenon that occurred throughout the twentieth century into the present.Organizations and individuals in this part of the continent, under the influences of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, conceptualized their own forms of fascism in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. Due
This study provides a simulation-based comparison of two energy storage alternatives, lithium-ion battery storage and a timer controlled domestic hot water (DHW) tank, within a Swedish residential context. The timer strategy explores the use of low-cost thermal storage to reduce electricity costs, especially in light of changing photovoltaic (PV) incentives. Different scenarios are modelled to com
For many years, fascism in East Central and Southeastern Europe remained an overlooked aspect of the history of transnational and transatlantic fascism. This introduction provides a background on how this came to pass and why we should rethink this assumption. The introduction explains how the heterogeneity of East Central and Southeastern European fascism alters the general understanding of Europ
The current climate crisis has generated social pressure to slow consumption down. Despite this, consumer culture is continuously developing and growing. How is this possible? Our paper provides theoretical clues to this question by developing a novel model of thought for consumption growth, based on Georg Simmel’s notion of Eigendynamik.
Current scholarship on urban transformation emphasizes the importance of learning, but the state of the art of research on learning dynamics in urban transformations is still conceptually and empirically fragmented. To address this deficit, we propose a research agenda and related conceptual apparatus that draws upon previous research in urban transformations and cognate fields. The proposed agend
This chapter delves into the evaluation of national innovation policies through a case study of the Brazilian National Innovation Policy (NIP). Assessing these policies poses several challenges, including the difficulty of defining and measuring policy outcomes, the scarcity of reliable data, and the intricacies of interactions among various stakeholders involved in the policy. Additionally, polit
