Praktisk eskatologi : Ett feministteologiskt perspektiv på "att bli mänsklig"

Skandinavisk skapelseteologi, på engelska kallad SCT, har fått ett uppsving och uppmärksammas nu även bland forskare i exempelvis Nordamerika. Den har sina rötter hos sådana tänkare som Regin Prenter, KE Lögstrup och Gustaf Wingren men har inte i någon hög utsträckning relaterats till samtida feministisk teologi. I denna artikel undersöker jag de teologiska kopplingarna mellan Wingrens teologi och

Position Paper on Young Vascular Surgeons Training of the Mediterranean Federation for the Advancing of Vascular Surgery (MeFAVS) : State of the Art and Perspectives

The Mediterranean Federation for the Advancing of Vascular Surgery (MeFAVS) was founded in 2018, with the aim to promote cooperation among vascular professionals within Mediterranean countries. Due to its prominent social and economic impact on national health systems, diabetic peripheral artery was selected as the very first topic to be investigated by the federation. In this second paper, differ

Semiconductor to metal transition in two-dimensional gold and its van der Waals heterostack with graphene

The synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) transition metals has attracted growing attention for both fundamental and application-oriented investigations, such as 2D magnetism, nanoplasmonics and non-linear optics. However, the large-area synthesis of this class of materials in a single-layer form poses non-trivial difficulties. Here we present the synthesis of a large-area 2D gold layer, stabilized in

Influence of 3d Transition Metal Impurities on Garnet Scintillator Afterglow

Garnet scintillators often suffer from undesired afterglow, the origin of which is not always well-understood. A possible origin is contamination with transition metal (TM) ions. These impurities can act as traps giving rise to afterglow. Alternatively, they may show long-lived (microsecond) d-d emission. Here we present a systematic study on the role of 3d TM impurities in (Lu,Gd)3(GaAl)5O12 garn

A Research Agenda for the Future of Urban Water Management : Exploring the Potential of Nongrid, Small-Grid, and Hybrid Solutions

Recent developments in high- and middle-income countries have exhibited a shift from conventional urban water systems to alternative solutions that are more diverse in source separation, decentralization, and modularization. These solutions include nongrid, small-grid, and hybrid systems to address such pressing global challenges as climate change, eutrophication, and rapid urbanization. They clos

Transcriptional and biochemical biomarker responses in a freshwater mussel (Anodonta anatina) under environmentally relevant Cu exposure

Molecular biomarkers, like gene transcripts or enzyme activities, are potentially powerful tools for early warning assessment ofpollution. However, a thorough understanding of response and baseline variation is required to distinguish actual effects frompollution. Here, we assess the freshwater musselAnodonta anatinaas a biomarker model species for freshwater ecosystems, bytesting responses of six

The effect of aged garlic extract on the atherosclerotic process-A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial

Background: One of the most serious secondary manifestations of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is coronary atherosclerosis. This study aimed to evaluate whether aged garlic extract (AGE) can influence coronary artery calcification (CAC) and to predict the individual effect of AGE using a standard process for data mining (CRISP-DM). Method: This was a single-center parallel randomized controlled stud

A framework for resource recovery from wastewater treatment plants in megacities of developing countries

In developing countries, there is often a lack of a comprehensive data set that supports the development of coherent policies on resource recovery from wastewater treatment. This paper aims to contribute to the elaboration of resource recovery projects by providing accurate and updated data from wastewater treatment plants such as those located in the region of the Macrometropolis of Sao Paulo. Th

Wildcat bankers or political failure? : The Irish financial pantomime, 1797–1826

Using a new biography of banks, we examine the stability of Irish banking from 1797 to 1826 by constructing a failure rate series. We find that the ultimate cause of the frequent and severe banking crises was the crisis-prone structure of the banking system, which was designed to benefit the political elite. There is little evidence to suggest that wildcat banking or the failure of the Bank of Ire

Awash with contradiction : Capital, ocean space and the logics of the Blue Economy Paradigm

Over the course of the past decade, the political economy of global ocean space has entered into a process of significant transformation. In this context, multilateral, corporate and financial attention dedicated to so-called ‘blue growth’ and ‘blue economy’ schemes has been extraordinary; consequentially spawning critical inquiries into the origins and motives behind these initiatives. Offering d

Biogas Production from Food Residues—The Role of Trace Metals and Co-Digestion with Primary Sludge

The majority of municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) in Sweden produce biogas from sewage sludge. In order to increase the methane production, co-digestion of internal sludge with Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) might be feasible in the future. The objective of this study was therefore to find a beneficial solution for the utilization of OFMSW at the WWTP in Varberg, Swe

Crystallography of the past and in the future

This paper is partly a summary of the book ‘From a grain of salt to the ribosome’ [1], with extension on some points. Sometimes the developments in science may be very rapid and not fully appreciated at all corners of the scientific society. Harry Clary Jones was a well-known chemist at Johns Hopkins University at the turn of the previous century. He had, in his earlier days, spent time in the lab

Impact of differential and time-dependent autophagy activation on therapeutic efficacy in a model of Huntington disease

Activation of macroautophagy/autophagy, a key mechanism involved in the degradation and removal of aggregated proteins, can successfully reverse Huntington disease phenotypes in various model systems. How neuronal autophagy impairments need to be considered in Huntington disease progression to achieve a therapeutic effect is currently not known. In this study, we used a mouse model of HTT (hunting

Paradigm shift in engineering of pluvial floods: From historical recurrence intervals to risk-based design for an uncertain future

Precipitation is intrinsically associated with high uncertainty, which is exacerbated exponentially over time—especially concerning climate change. However, the current design practice in urban drainage infrastructure remains firmly bound to deterministic assumptions regarding the design load. This approach is too simplified—focusing only on the return period of the design event—and ignores the co

Maternal Arterial Blood Gas Values During Delivery: Effect of Mode of Delivery, Maternal Characteristics, Obstetric Interventions and Correlation to Fetal Umbilical Cord Blood

Abstract Introduction: Obstetricians routinely use biochemical parameters from non-pregnant women to assess the condition of the laboring mother. However, it is well known that pregnancy leads to significant physiological changes in most organ systems. The aim of this study was to determine normal values for maternal arterial blood gases during vaginal deliveries as compared to control values fro

Research trends in quality management in years 2000-2019

Purpose: This study aims to demonstrate the suitability of text-mining toolset for the discovery of trends in quality management (QM) literature in 2000-2019. The hypothesis was formulated that as the field of study is mature, the most important trends are related to deepening and broadening of the knowledge. Design/methodology/approach: A novel approach to trend discovery was proposed. The comput
