The Oak of Mambre presents an inner world of sound exploration, whose strands are woven through ancient cultures and traditions. Mambre is a birthplace, itself, literal and ideal. Compressions and rarefactions tell two stories; of Abram and Mambre, of survival and an heir.The Oak of Mambre begins where the reality and existence of a tone becomes manifest. Here we are looking at the sub-particulate
Background: Previous research shows that many cancer-bereaved youths report unresolved grief several years after the death of a parent. Grief work hypothesis suggests that, in order to heal, the bereaved needs to process the pain of grief in some way. This study explored acute grief experiences and reactions in the first 6 months post-loss among cancer-bereaved teenagers. We further explored long-
I have a returning nightmare: my computer breaks down and I am losing all my written words. Losing the record I keep of my stories. The trails of where I have been in my thoughts dissolve and I am left empty. ”Stories matter. Many stories matter”, writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie reminds us in her famous TED-talk on ’the danger of a single story’ (Adichie 2009). Telling stories from my research on
Statsmakterna kräver nu att verksamheterna vid Sveriges universitet och högskolor ska genomsyras av ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Riksdagen har nu beslutat att dessa verksamheter ska ”främja en hållbar utveckling”. I regeringens Budgetproposition 2005/06:1 återfanns förslag till lag om ändring i högskolelagen. Där föreskrevs att 1 kap. 5 § högskolelagen (1992:1434) skall ha följande lydelse: Högskol
Popular Abstract in Swedish Läkekonst är uttryck för våra försök att bemöta och betvinga det svåra som livet ställer oss inför i form av fysiskt och mentalt lidande. Läkekonst formas dock inte bara av våra kunskaper och tekniska framsteg, utan även av grundläggande kulturella värderingar och traditioner. Genom att studera medeltidens och renässansens läkekonst kan vi därför komma en liten bit närmThis doctoral thesis examines the arts of healing in the area of present-day Sweden dur¬ing the Middle Ages and the Renaissance (ca. 1100–1600 AD). It focuses on secular arts of healing for the body, rather than magical and religious healing or the cure of the soul. It is done by studying material culture in the form of archaeological finds from Southern Sweden and contemporary written sources fro
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally. In the European Union (EU) alone, CVD accounts for 1.8 million deaths each year. CVD is a group of disorders involving the heart and the blood vessels. The main risk factors of CVD include unhealthy lifestyles, tobacco smoking, and obesity. It has been demonstrated that chronic high blood pressure (medically termed hypertension)
Citizens are not born, they are made. Based on fieldwork in two upper-secondary school classes in Sweden – an Introductory Programme class and a Social Science Programme class – this dissertation focuses on how pupils form their identities as citizens in a democratic society. Citizens are made in interaction with the society they inhabit, an interaction where power is always present. Although Swed
In the 2011 census of India, more than 2500 settlements have been newly inducted into the category of ‘census towns’ – the lowest size-class of urban settlements in India. This is a staggering figure in light of the observation that a comparable number constituted the total number of all urban settlements recorded since 1900. Furthermore, it has been revealed through aerial images, that a vast maj
The accumulation of amyloid fibrils from the protein 𝛼-synuclein is a pathological hallmark of Parkinson´s disease. 𝛼-synuclein is a highly polar protein with a remarkable primary structure that can be divided into three regions: the slightly basic N-terminal region, a central hydrophobic region, and a highly acidic C-terminal tail. The C-terminal tail is of specific focus in this thesis. A chan
Little is known the evolution of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ in human language, and in this paper, an attempt is made to make a first step in revealing how our ancestor came up with these words. Our analysis starts with Proto-Uralic, and then we compare its developmental path to other languages in the Indo-European family.
It has been documented that in Proto-Uralic (ca. 4,000 BC) there existed e ‘no’, bu
As part of current efforts to work towards sustainable development, find solutions to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt cities to the effects of climate change, such as floods and extreme heat, there are high hopes that nature-based solutions (NBS) can support the transformation needed. Based on the knowledge that implementation and governance of urban NBS is still emerging and constrained
Denna uppsats undersöker hur avtalsvillkorsdirektivet påverkar bedömningen av oskäliga avtalsvillkor i avtal mellan konsument och näringsidkare i svensk rätt. Direktivet består av artiklar som anger vad som ska utgöra ett oskäligt avtalsvillkor samt de konsekvenser som följer av ett sådant avtalsvillkor. Direktivets artiklar om oskäliga avtalsvillkor har införlivats i svensk rätt genom 36 § avtalsThe purpose of this essay is to examine how the Unfair Contract Terms Directive affects the assessment of unfair contract terms in an agreement between a seller or supplier and a consumer under Swedish law. The directive consists of articles prescribing what an unfair contract term is and the consequences of such a contract term. The articles of the directive regarding unfair contract terms have b
Denna uppsats har undersökt det folkrättsliga ramverket bakom EU’s autonoma sanktioner mot Ryssland. Efter Rysslands folkrättsstridiga handlingar mot våldsförbudet och non-interventionsprincipen i Ukraina 2014, antog EU ett paket av olika åtgärder mot de som ansetts ansvariga och mot viktiga sektorer av den ryska ekonomin. Sanktionerna är autonoma eftersom de har antagits oberoende av någon resoluThis thesis has examined the international legal framework for the EU’s autonomous sanctions against Russia. Following Russia’s breaches of the obligations of non-use of force and non-intervention in Ukraine in 2014, the EU adopted a package of different measures against those deemed responsible and against key sectors of the Russian economy. The sanctions are autonomous since they are imposed ind
Frågan om hur carried interest ska beskattas har länge varit en kontroversiell fråga inom skatterätten. Carried interest, eller särskild vinstandel på svenska, utgör en del av de avgifter som erhålles av ett riskkapitalbolag i samband med förvaltningen av en riskkapitalfond. I många fall får nyckelpersoner inom riskkapitalbolaget möjlighet att ta del av denna avkastning varpå frå-gan hur inkomstenThe question of how carried interest should be taxed has been a controver-sial issue in Swedish tax law. Carried interest constitutes part of the fees received by a private equity firm. In many cases, key individuals within the private equity firm are given the opportunity to receive a share of this return, raising the issue of how the income should be taxed. Currently, there are no specific rules
This thesis aims at addressing the question of the representation of the Other within current dominant visual media. The Other, in the context of this thesis, refers to any minority community group identified as different from a certain dominant norm; depending on the context it could correspond to groups such as Women, Afro-Americans or Arabs. Here the group concerned will be the migrant, who hav
Orbital or mean motion resonance (MMR) occurs when the orbital period ratio between two planets is close to a ratio of small integers. MMR can protect planets from collisions and affects the overall final architecture of the system. Observations of exoplanets have shown that the survival rate of MMR-chains is low, and most systems are near and just wide of an exact MMR. The most common chains are
I en tid av lågt bostadsbyggande, med svårigheter att få byggprojekt att gå ihop ekonomiskt, finns anledning att hitta nya lösningar för att sänka produktionskostnader vid byggandet av nya bostäder. Ett alternativ som diskuterats flitigt under de senaste åren på beslutsfattande nivå är om rådande tillgänglighetskrav ger upphov till onödiga produktionskostnader, trots att de inte fyller någon funktIn a time of low housing construction, with difficulties in making construction projects financially viable, there is reason to find new solutions to lower production costs in the construction of new housing. An alternative that has been widely discussed in recent years at a decision-making level is whether current accessibility requirements give rise to unnecessary production costs, even though t
Havsnivåhöjningar till följd av antropogena klimatförändringar utgör en växande utmaning för folkrätten. För små östater under utveckling (SIDS) innebär stigande havsnivåer en risk för att delar av eller hela deras territorium blir obeboeliga eller permanent översvämmas. Detta aktualiserar grundläggande frågor om staters fortsatta existens enligt folkrätten. Enligt den traditionella statsläran utgSea-level rise caused by anthropogenic climate change poses an unprecedent-ed challenge to international law. For Small Island Developing States (SIDS), the prospect of partial or complete territorial inundation raises fundamental questions concerning the continued existence of States whose territory may become uninhabitable or disappear entirely.
