Social innovation in worker co-operatives: a cross-comparative research between Argentinian and British cases

The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) have proved to combat inequalities, neoliberal policies, and ultimately, counteract the hegemonic economic rationale imposed by the market (Gaiger 2007). In particular, co-operatives are engaged in some market activity, although the economic principle does not prevail over the social objectives of the organisation. Indeed, this is the core of the social inno

Towards a Circular Photovoltaic Economy: The Role of Service-based Business Models

Solar photovoltaics (PV) has experienced tremendous market growth and has large potential in the urgently needed transition towards a low-carbon energy system. The continued growth of the sector will, however, evoke new sustainability challenges with regard to efficient material use as well as end-of life management of PV products. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of potential Circu

The Antifungal Mechanism of Amphotericin B Elucidated in Ergosterol and Cholesterol-Containing Membranes Using Neutron Reflectometry

We have characterized and compared the structures of ergosterol- and cholesterol-containing 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) membranes before and after interaction with the amphiphilic antifungal drug amphotericin B (AmB) using neutron reflection. AmB inserts into both pure POPC and sterol-containing membranes in the lipid chain region and does not significantly perturb the

Exoplaneter : kretsande runt avlägsna stjärnor

Det finns åtta planeter i bana runt vår egen stjärna Solen och flera dvärgplaneter. Astronomer har numera upptäckt avlägsna exoplaneter kretsande runt andra stjärnor i vår galax Vintergatan. Här lyfter vi blicken upp och beundrar nattens alla stjärnor och stjärnbilder och följer astronomerna på deras upptäcktsfärd bland avlägsna exoplaneter.Orbiting our star, the Sun, there are eight planets and several dwarf planets. Astronomers have now discovered planets orbiting several nearby stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way. In this planetarium show we look up into the starry night sky, familiarize ourselves with the stars and the constellations, and together we discover the exoplanets out there and how they can be detected.

‘Duped Fathers’, ‘Cuckoo Children’, and the Problem of Basing Fatherhood on Biology: A Philosophical Analysis

Who is a child’s father? Is it the man who raised her, or the one whose genes she carries—or both? WIn this chapter, we look at the view that men who have raised children they falsely believed to be ‘their own’ have been victims of a form of fraud or are ‘false fathers’. We consider the question of who has been harmed in such cases, and in what the harm consists. We use conceptual analysis, a phil

Interdisciplinary pedagogy in higher education : Proceedings from Lund University's Teaching and Learning Conference 2019

This is the proceedings volume from the 7th biannual Teaching and Learning Conference at Lund University. The conference theme, Interdisciplinary pedagogy in higher education, is very timely as we see a steady increase, not only in interdisciplinary research and full teaching programmes, but also in new interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary courses and components in more traditional disciplinaryThis is the proceedings volume from the 7th biannual Teaching and Learning Conference at Lund University.

Formation of moon systems around giant planets : Capture and ablation of planetesimals as foundation for a pebble accretion scenario

The four major satellites of Jupiter, known as the Galilean moons, and Saturn's most massive satellite, Titan, are believed to have formed in a predominantly gaseous circum-planetary disk during the last stages of formation of their parent planet. Pebbles from the protoplanetary disk are blocked from flowing into the circumplanetary disk by the positive pressure gradient at the outer edge of the p

Deliberate self‐poisoning : repeaters and nonrepeaters admitted to an intensive care unit

Seventy‐nine patients admitted to the Lund Intensive Care Unit after deliberate self‐poisoning were investigated by a psychiatrist and a social worker by means of a semi structured interview. Suicide risk evaluation included statistical risk factors according to the SAD PERSONS Scale, severity of suicidal intent according to the Suicidal Intent Scale, and interviewer reaction according to Motto. T

Early 20th-Century Curatorial Strategies to Enhance the Power of Portraiture : Ludwig Justi and the National Portrait Gallery in Berlin 1913-1933

The emergence of the national portrait gallery as a museum phenomenon during the nineteenth century reflects a broader interest in portraiture at the time. The first of its kind was the National Portrait Gallery in London. Pivotal to the foundation of the gallery in 1856 was historian Thomas Carlyle’s declaration that a portrait had put him in contact with the past. In 1913, a German National Port

Reconciling IPRs and openness in biobanking

This opinion argues that carefully drafted IPR-policies could be used to protect the substantial investments made by biobanks in the collection of HBM and data while at the same time allowing scientists to share information and to seek IPRs on downstream inventions resulting from the use of such collections. We also recognize that the feasibility of IPR-policies depends on the specific types, set-

Standards, Data Exchange and Intellectual Property Rights in Systems Biology

Intellectual property rights (IPRs) represent a key concern for researchers and industry in basically all (high-tech) sectors. IPRs regularly figure prominently in scientific journals and at scientific conferences and lead to dedicated workshops to increase the awareness and “IPR savviness” of scientists. In 2015, Biotechnology Journal published a report from an expert meeting on “Synthetic Biolog

An undisclosed story of roses : church, state, and nation in contemporary Georgia

Since the Rose Revolution (2003), Georgia has encountered an unprecedented scale of institutional reforms concomitant with the rise of American and European involvement in the “democratization” process. Various scholars have suggested that Georgian nationalism developed from an ethno-cultural basis to a more civic/liberal orientation after the Rose Revolution. This paper analyzes Georgian national
