Critical evaluation of the World Missionary Conference, Edinburgh 1910, from the perspective of later 20th century developments in Christian mission and ecumenism, with special attention to the global South and postcolonial analysis.

Mothers (N= 35) and their adult children completed questionnaires and were interviewed in order to examine relationships between mothers' caregiving representations and their adult children's attachment representations, and relationships between attachment/caregiving representations and beliefs about mothering. Mothers' and their children's accounts of and present thinking about their past relatio

The ideal free distribution (IFD) model predicts that consumers match the distribution of resources across habitat patches and that this association should lead to equal individual fitness among individuals in a population. Here we studied to what extent predators utilize different prey groups and if the resulting spatial patterns relate to the reproductive success of individuals in a population o

We begin by reviewing a classical result on the algebraic dependence of commuting elements in the Weyl algebra. We proceed by describing generalizations of this result to various classes of Ore extensions, including both results that are already known and one new result.

Akademisk teori såväl som politiska diskussioner framhåller ofta entreprenörskap som gynnsamt för ekonomisk tillväxt. De specifika teoretiska mekanismerna som gör att entreprenörskap leder till tillväxt har dock inte kunnat fastslås och det är därför inte klart om entreprenörskap alltid är ekonomiskt gynnsamt, och för vem? I denna artikel kommer vi att sammanfatta den empiriska forskningen inom en

Background: B-vitamins are essential for one-carbon metabolism and have been linked to colorectal cancer. Although associations with folate have frequently been studied, studies on other plasma vitamins B2, B6, and B12 and colorectal cancer are scarce or inconclusive. Methods: We carried out a nested case-control study within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, includ

This special section of an issue of Science and Public Policy grew out of an interest in following the politics of the European Spallation Source (ESS) Facility at Lund, Sweden. The ESS spectacle provided a platform from which to review different research infrastructure projects and to place them in the context of science policy as a whole. Large-scale research infrastructure investments are often

Background: Older patients generally have only poor knowledge about their medicines. Knowledge is important for good adherence and for participating in decisions about treatment. Patients are entitled to be informed on an individual and adequate level. The aim of the study was to explore frail elderly patients' experiences of receiving information about their medications and their views on how the

Populärvetenskaplig artikel om kemisten och nobelpristagaren Fritz Haber, som arbetade med att ta fram stridsgas före och under första världskriget.

Brachyradia, new genus, is proposed and described for two new species of the tribe Exechiini (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) from the Oriental and Australasian regions. The type species, Brachyradia asianca, new species, is described from Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia (Sulawesi), and a second species, Brachyradia australis, new species, from Indonesia (Sulawesi) and Papua New Guinea. The systematic

The aim of this was to determine whether the change of size observed at the first response evaluation after initiation of first-line combination chemotherapy correlates with overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The change in size of tumors derived from measurements according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) at the first evaluation on comput

This paper analyses global climate politics from the 2007 Bali Roadmap over the 2009 breakdown at COP15 to the following COP meetings with a focus on central issues and tendencies. The analysis is structured by applying the concepts of content and process as empirical and heuristic tools. This is used as the point of departure to analyse the road to Paris, where COP21 is held in 2015 with the stat

A measurement is presented of inelastic photoand electroproduction of J/psi mesons in ep scattering at HERA. The data were recorded with the H1 detector in the period from 2004 to 2007. Single and double differential cross sections are determined and the helicity distributions of the J/psi mesons are analysed. The results are compared to theoretical predictions in the colour singlet model and in t

Öppna digitala Iärresurser (Open Educational Resources, OER) är undervisnings-, lärande- och forskningsmaterial som finns tillgängliga på Internet. Resurserna är öppna och fria och vanligen under creative commons licenser (cc). Beroende på licens tillåts resurserna att användas, återanvändas, spridas och även säljas öppet och fritt. Internationellt är OER-rörelsen mycket stark. I Sverige går därem

Background To evaluate the effects of a case management intervention for frail older people (aged 65+ years) by cost and utility. Materials and methods One hundred and fifty-three frail older people living at home were randomly assigned to either an intervention (n = 80) or a control group (n = 73). The 1-year intervention was carried out by nurses and physiotherapists working as case managers, w

Background: Screening for bacterial colonization among risk populations could provide better estimates of the volume of the bacteria-related disease reservoir and the level of antimicrobial resistance, than do conventional laboratory reports. Methods: Two hundred and one participants at 10 Swedish nursing homes were screened for colonization with Staphylococcus aureus between January and October 2
