While previous scholarship has shown that the rhetorical figure of the "heretical woman"was important in Jerome's slandering of male rivals, this article argues that the "orthodox woman"played a just as important role in his self-presentation as an orthodox teacher. The "orthodox woman"is characterized by true asceticism which, according to Jerome's ascetic theology, implies that she transcends he

Background: Interactions between moss species in their earliest growth stages have received little attention. To what extent interspecific competition or priority effects influence spore germination, protonemal development and gametophore emergence is unknown. We evaluated such effects in pairwise interaction between six common bryophyte species: Atrichum undulatum, Bryum argenteum, Ceratodon purp

Context. The origin and evolution of fluorine in the Milky Way Galaxy is still under debate. In particular, the increase in the [F/Fe] in metal-rich stars found from near-IR HF lines is challenging to explain theoretically. Chemical evolution models with current knowledge of yields from different fluorine-producing stellar sources cannot reproduce these observations.Aims. The aim of this work is t

Artikeln beskriver hur en grammatikdidaktisk modell utformad för en L1-kontext kan användas för grammatikundervisning såväl som för ett språk- och skrivutvecklande arbete i en L2-kontext. Eftersom klassrummen i Sverige, Danmark och Norge allt mer blir språkligt heterogena behöver lärare kunna erbjuda en språkutvecklande under-visning för elever med skilda språkliga förutsättningar. Den modell som The article shows how a grammar-didactic model designed for an L1 context can be used for grammar learning as well as language and writing development in an L2 con-text. Because classrooms in Sweden, Denmark and Norway are becoming increasingly heterogenous, teachers must be able to develop the language of pupils with differing linguistic predispositions. The model that is being proposed is design

This study investigates people’s associations between the exchange of sexual services for payment and different sexual activities. Sex work entails a range of activities, from in person services to online performances. To date, no study has asked about the activities individuals associate with the exchange of sexual services for payment. The relationship between the exchange of sexual services for

Background: We investigated all-cause and epilepsy-related mortality in patients operated with resective epilepsy surgery and in non-operated patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Our hypothesis was that patients who proceed to surgery have lower mortality over time compared with non-operated patients. Method: Data from 1329 adults and children from the Swedish National Epilepsy Surgery Register

A wide range of literatures have identified the capitalist organisation of societies, and the capitalist growth imperative central to this organisation, as the root cause of the catastrophic climate and biodiversity crises. Highlighting the need to break with this imperative, a growing community of scholars generally viewed as anti- and postcapitalist, there is no consensus on how precisely to con

BACKGROUND: Genomic rearrangements in cancer cells can create fusion genes that encode chimeric proteins or alter the expression of coding and non-coding RNAs. In some cancer types, fusions involving specific kinases are used as targets for therapy. Fusion genes can be detected by whole genome sequencing (WGS) and targeted fusion panels, but RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) has the advantageous capability

The discussion on the Anthropocene has increased the urgency to promote a sustainable society, considering the planetary boundaries, population growth and resource scarcity. Thus, the United Nations created the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to address this challenge, including 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 SDG targets. In this context, the energy sector is one of the ma

Potential harm to human rights and the environment, including by corporate actors, is amplified in situations of conflict. This article focuses on applying the right to a healthy environment in relation to armed conflicts and corporate responsibility. In particular, it analyzes and compares due diligence requirements in the European Union Conflict Minerals Regulation and the International Law Comm

In ‘Alfred Nobel’s Karlskoga’, Sweden, the municipality has placed its most famous former resident at the heart of its economic development strategy. Through an in-depth qualitative case study, we examine the tensions and complexities surrounding this process and fill an existing research gap around personality-based place branding for regional development purposes. The findings suggest that even

Introduction: Primary human papilloma virus (HPV) screening to detect cervical cancer and dysplastic lesions was implemented in Region Skåne 2017 for women aged 30–70. The aim of this study was to characterize the screening history of women diagnosed with cervical cancer to evaluate the performance of the screening program, as well as to assess the cancer treatments given and shortcomings in the f

The ability to measure flying insect activity and abundance is important for ecologists, conservationists and agronomists alike. However, existing methods are laborious and produce data with low temporal resolution (e.g. trapping and direct observation), or are expensive, technically complex, and require vehicle access to field sites (e.g. radar and lidar entomology). We propose a method called “C

Although most individuals consider gambling to be an innocent and fun activity, when it develops into problem gambling, it can have detrimental outcomes to one's life, such as over-indebtedness. This cross-sectional study explores the role of maladaptive personality traits and gender in both problem gambling and over-indebtedness, in an online sample of 1479 adult gamblers (65% males) in Sweden. P

The aim of this study was to investigate utilisation patterns of prescribed analgesics before, during, and after an exercise therapy and patient education program among patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis. This cohort study is based on data from the nationwide Good Life with osteoarthritis in Denmark (GLA:D®) patient-register linked with national health registries including data on prescribed

Emulsification is the process of making stable mixture of two or more immiscible substances (typically oil and water). The product of this process, the emulsion, is found in various applications and industries such as food (milk and other dairy products, non-dairy alternatives, mayonnaise, salad dressing), cosmetics and pharmaceuticals (creams, lotions, intravenous medications), chemical (paints,

We theoretically investigate a supersolid structure taking the form of stacked, disk-shaped superfluid droplets connected via a dilute superfluid, in an antidipolar condensate. A phase diagram is determined for varying the particle number and scattering length, identifying the regions of a regular dipolar superfluid, supersolid stacks, and isolated stacked disk-shaped droplets in an experimentally

Introduction: The Bogong moth Agrotis infusa is well known for its remarkable annual round-trip migration from its breeding grounds across eastern and southern Australia to its aestivation sites in the Australian Alps, to which it provides an important annual influx of nutrients. Over recent years, we have benefited from a growing understanding of the navigational abilities of the Bogong moth. Mea
