The focus of this essay is the famous (or infamous) expression “An eye for an eye”, lex talionis, which is found in each of the biblical legal corpora in the Tanakh. A series of different interpretations are examined and systematized in categories in order to see how the expression, as it is used in the Tanakh, has been interpreted in antiquity as well as in modern times. The result is that there

Att förlora sin partner genom dödsfall ger en ökad risk för ohälsa den närmast följande tiden. Syftet med denna studie var att ur omvårdnadsperspektiv tydliggöra riskfaktorer för ohälsa hos anhöriga till svårt sjuka patienter. Metoden var en litteraturstudie där tio artiklar analyserades. Resultatet visade dels att hur lång förberedelsetiden var, vilket socialt stöd som fanns samt känsla av samman

This thesis examines the evolution of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD) in the EU. The overarching purpose is to give an example of ideational causation in the EU, and concretely, to illustrate how a norm can cause changes to policy and to policymaking. It is argued that the PCD concept is essentially a norm, because it provides a guideline for how to prioritize between differing and often co

The implementation of circular initiatives requires certain capabilities and knowledge that traditional business models often lack, requiring new perspectives and external collaborations. This paper explores the competency needs and partnership dynamics of established companies collaborating for business model innovation for circularity through a case study of a gap exploiter business model, a com

This paper considers the concept and practice of entrepreneurial leadership in the academe. After a small introduction to the research in the emerging field of entrepreneurial leadership, we note many substantial differences between academic entrepreneurs and the general class of entrepreneurs so as to motivate our focus on the academic community. We then provide a brief narrative on some strands

The art of living and the art of eating: Professor Linnaeus recommends. By Gunnar Broberg. As professor of medicine, Linnaeus taught dietetics. He followed the pattern outlined by Galen and Regimen salernitatis, adding an extensive material originating from general cultural history and his own experience.Early in his life he wrote Diaeta naturalis, a collection of rules focusing the blessings of n

The Swedish inventor Christopher Polhem had an idea of a universal language which occupied him for decades, i.e. a perfect language which can be spoken and understood by everyone, by the educated and non educated alike, and no matter where they come from. Polhem did a large number of sketches for such a universal language, among others a manuscript concerning a lunar language, which was completely

More complex understanding of relationality in care networks around patients with life-limiting illness and their significant others is needed. This is the case not only because care is distributed unequally along gendered lines, but also because of the changing landscape of care in welfare states where families and communities are made more self-responsible. This study examines everyday experienc

This chapter gives an overview of key actions by the activist group Gender Relations in New Music, which advocates for increased gender equality and intersectional diversification in contemporary classical music (CCM).

An adaptive controller is proposed and analyzed for the class of infinite-horizon optimal control problems in positive linear systems presented in (Ohlin et al., 2024b). This controller is derived from the solution of a “data-driven algebraic equation” constructed using the model-free Bellman equation from Q-learning. The equation is driven by data correlation matrices that do not scale with the n

A novel pre-purification method was developed for producing peroxidase to guarantee high purity and yield from plant cell cultures in large-scale process. This method was a simple and efficient procedure for the isolation and pre-purification of peroxidase from the biomass consisting of active clay treatment, followed by cationic exchange chromatography. The use of active clay in the pre-purificat

University students’ conceptions of differentiability, continuity and relationsbetween these concepts were studied to reveal their choices of representationsand their strategies to justify their relational claims. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. The results were analysed and categorizedthrough a framework based on understanding as connections between concepts,and a theory

This essay argues that an important factor behind the emergence of a rabbinic form of Judaism was a challenge to Jewish identity and self-understanding posed by Jesus-oriented groups who had appropriated essential aspects of Jewish self-understanding. The unease with gentile attachment to Israel’s God and involvement with the Torah, and the reconfiguration of the boundaries of Judaism to exclude J

The chapter examines what peace looks like from the working levels of the Nordic countries. Several researchers have proclaimed a common Nordic approach to peace and conflict resolution “dead”. However, through interviews focusing on the working level, we find that the Nordics in fact work very closely together in practice, especially in the field in conflict-affected areas. This work is generally
