Naturalism and Spirituality : The Need of Expanding the Concept of Sustainability

A naturalistic view should make us appreciate the rich possibilities of nature. This naturalistic point of departure, as formulated by Willem B. Drees, invites reflection on the relationship between nature and spirituality. Today, the concept of sustainability occupies a key role in what has come to be the greatest challenge ever that humankind has faced together at the same moment in history. Usu

Carlsson, Ingvar, 2023. I sällskap med döden. Stockholm: Albert Bonniers förlag

”Hemma drog jag upp dörren och skrek till mamma: ’Pappa är död.’ Efter det är minnet helt blankt” (s. 28). Den tolvårige Ingvar har hittat sin pappa liggandes bland säckarna i kafferosteriet där pappan arbetar. Fullständigt omskakande, både mänskligt och socioekonomiskt. Pojken Ingvar växer upp i ett typiskt arbetarhem i Borås. Pappa Olofs död innebär att mamma Ida får arbeta hårt med både jobb på

Metataxonomic analysis of halophilic archaea community in two geothermal oases in the southern Tunisian Sahara

This study assesses halophilic archaea's phylogenetic diversity in southern Tunisia's geothermal water. In the arid southern regions, limited surface freshwater resources make geothermal waters a vital source for oases and greenhouse irrigation. Three samples, including water, sediment, and halite-soil crust, were collected downstream of two geothermal springs of the Ksar Ghilane (KGH) and Zaouet

Origins of the knowledge economy : Higher education and Scandinavia’s development, ca. 1800–1929

Gymnasie- och universitetsutbildning var länge en elitens domän. Med ekonomisk tillväxt och ökande teknisk komplexitet växte dock behovet av specialiserad kunskap och färdigheter. Inför och under industrialiseringen tog systemen för högre utbildning emot ett ökande antal studenter och breddades med ett växande utbud av kurser och typer av utbildningsinstitutioner.Danmark, Norge och Sverige utgör rHigh school and university-level education was long an elite pursuit. However, with economic growth and rising technical complexity, the need for specialised knowledge and skills increased. In the run-up to and during industrialisation, higher education systems admitted a growing number of students and diversified across an increasing range of courses and types of educational institutions.Denmark,

"Vid pekoralets gräns min fåle betar, i gräs med svarta tistlar blandat" : Birger Sjöberg, Gunnar Ekelöf och pekoralisterna

Birger Sjöbergs roller som pekoralist beskrivs, Gunnar Ekelöfs kännedom om Birger Sjöbergs diktning klarläggs, särskilt Ekelöfs analys av Kriser och kransar och dikterna skrivna om och av pekoralister. Ekelöfs dikter skrivna av pekoralisten Alfred Vestlund i Strountes 1955 analyseras mot bakgrund av Detta samt mot bakgrund av Sjöbergs och Ekelöfs krav på personlig sanning i dikt.

Heritage Languages in Europe

Definitions of heritage languages include the languages of migrant, indigenous, and national minorities. This chapter is concerned with migrant minorities. The EU is generally pictured as valuing multilingualism, as reflected by EU policies and citizen’s attitudes. Nevertheless, when Europeans think and speak about protecting multilingualism, they do not necessarily have migrant languages in mind,

3L1 Acquisition : Three first languages during early childhood

This chapter is concerned with 3L1 acquisition (early trilingualism; i.e., the development of three languages during early childhood). This is a methodologically challenging and understudied topic, most typically focussing on children with two home languages that are both different from the language of the wider community. The available research on lexicon, syntax, and phonology shows that triling

Low-dose tamoxifen treatment reduces collagen organisation indicative of tissue stiffness in the normal breast : results from the KARISMA randomised controlled trial

Background: Tissue stiffness, dictated by organisation of interstitial fibrillar collagens, increases breast cancer risk and contributes to cancer progression. Tamoxifen is a standard treatment for receptor-positive breast cancer and is also aproved for primary prevention. We investigated the effect of tamoxifen and its main metabolites on the breast tissue collagen organisation as a proxy for sti

Enhancing eye tracking for nonhuman primates and other subjects unable to follow instructions : Adaptive calibration and validation of Tobii eye trackers with the Titta toolbox

Accurate eye tracking is crucial for gaze-dependent research, but calibrating eye trackers in subjects who cannot follow instructions, such as human infants and nonhuman primates, presents a challenge. Traditional calibration methods rely on verbal instructions, which are ineffective for these populations. To address this, researchers often use attention-grabbing stimuli in known locations; howeve

Simulated sensitivity of the Amazon rainforest to extreme drought

The Amazon rainforest is highly biodiverse and has the largest extent of the remaining intact tropical forests in the world. To this day, undisturbed tropical forests act as a carbon sink by taking up about 15% of anthropogenic carbon emissions per year. However, in the past decades, a declining trend in the carbon sink capacity in the Amazon rainforest has been observed due to increased carbon lo

A Feasibility Trial on Intranasal Evaporative Cooling for Acute Migraine in an At-Home Setting

BACKGROUND: A significant proportion of people with migraine do not achieve sufficient relief of their acute migraine symptoms with the currently available medications. A previous study showed that intranasal evaporative cooling reduced headache and migraine-associated symptoms when given in an outpatient clinic setting. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of self-administering the same i
