A longstanding debate in constitutional theory concerns the legitimacy of constitutional review and the scope of judicial interpretation. The core of the conflict is the conceptualization of the separation of powers and the related distinction of law and politics. Strategic litigation stresses this existing normative tension, because it brings issues to court with an agenda that goes beyond the in

This report has been written as part of the ERASMUS+ project CLARITY. The aim of CLARITY is to enhance educators' skills for nurturing resilience and reducing climate anxiety of learners through trauma-informed and creative approaches that link inner and outer dimensions of change. Sustainability and climate education tend to focus on environmental facts, whilst little room is given to the human d

Water is essential for life. This is particularly true for terrestrial insects, whose small size and high surface-area-to-volume ratios render them especially susceptible to dehydration. To overcome this challenge, insects have evolved sophisticated physiological mechanisms and behavioral strategies to maintain internal ion and water balance despite fluctuating environmental conditions. This chapt

In 1880 Serhiy A. Podolynsky (1850–1891) described the human economy as a metabolic flow of energy and was later praised for it by ecologist Vladimir Vernadsky, whereas his work encountered strong criticism by Friedrich Engels. However, the notes taken by Karl Marx were rather neutral in tone. In this article, we use primary sources in Ukrainian and Russian, including Vernadsky’s diaries and corre

Additive manufacturing (AM) makes it feasible to realise complex lattice structuresthat provide structural flexibility through engineered structural design rather thanrelying solely on material softness. Across sectors such as furniture, healthcare,protective equipment, and robotics, such flexibility is a core functional requirement,that influences comfort, fit, impact response, lightweighting, an

Using population-wide data on Swedish university researchers and teachers, we identify the effects of parenthood on academic careers. Leveraging staggered event-study models that compare mothers and fathers around first birth, we document widening gender gaps in publication output, wage income, promotion, and PhD completion. These gaps arise across all scientific fields. We further document substa

Cryo-scanning electron microscopy (CryoSEM) permits the preparation and detailed imaging of bulky samples while keeping them in a hydrated state. For plant biology, cryofractures give information on cell ultrastructure and tissue organisation within a much larger context that is the whole organ or organism. To date, a method to locate fluorescence reporters on the cryofracture has not been reporte

Background Early-onset depression contributes significantly to long-term disability and suicide, making high-quality healthcare for young people with depression a critical concern. Medical record review (MRR) is widely used to assess healthcare quality. However, its application to depression care for children and adolescents appears underexplored, with no consensus on conceptualising or measuring

Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteoporos (benskörhet) är en sjukdom med en störning i ämnesomsättningen i skelettet vilket leder till minskad mängd benvävnad och förändringar i benets mikrostruktur. Detta resulterar i en sämre hållfasthet och en ökad risk för frakturer (benbrott), vilka kan uppkomma spontant eller som en följd av ett lindrigt trauma (olycksfall). Andelen individer med osteoporos ökaOsteoporosis is a systemic, skeletal disease with the consequence of an increased risk of sustaining a fracture, one of the most common fractures being a vertebral fracture. The lifetime risk of sustaining a clinically diagnosed vertebral fracture from age 50 years onward is 8% in men and 15% in women. These fractures are followed by increased morbidity and mortality as well as an increased risk o

In 2001, when the Taliban decided to destroy numerous cultural artefacts, including two colossal Buddha statues, that they considered incompatible with their faith, a large outcry was heard across the Western world. From the UNESCO to the British Museum, and from the Dalai Lama to countless head of governments, all were united in condemning this act of ’cultural terrorism’ that was said to prove n

From a paradigmatic understanding of tourism, the thing about tourism experiences is that they differ from everyday life. You experience different places, see different people, get to know different ways of doing things, and so on. To do tourism, then, is to experience a series of changes from the ordinary. Several things change in the course of the making and consumption of a tourism product. For
