Did economic and political inequality hamper the spread of mass schooling in the 19th century? This paper analyzes the link between investments in primary schooling and the spread of voting rights in 19th-century Sweden using newly collected data on educational expenditure and the distribution of voting rights in local governments. We find that municipalities governed by local elites spent substan
This introductory chapter gives an overview of the intricate relation between Heidegger and theology. Firstly, it discusses Heidegger’s indebtedness to theology by revisiting the debate that was initiated by the publication of his early Freiburg lectures in the 1990s.

Purpose: A degenerative meniscus lesion is a slowly developing process typically involving a horizontal cleavage in a middle-aged or older person. When the knee is symptomatic, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy has been practised for a long time with many case series reporting improved patient outcomes. Since 2002, several randomised clinical trials demonstrated no additional benefit of arthroscop
This study is based on fine-mode aerosol samples collected in the upper troposphere (UT) and the lowermost stratosphere (LMS) of the Northern Hemisphere extratropics during monthly intercontinental flights at 8.8-12 km altitude of the IAGOS-CARIBIC platform in the time period 1999-2014. The samples were analyzed for a large number of chemical elements using the accelerator-based methods PIXE (part

In this paper we present and discuss some of the lessons learnt from the completed CoLabs.eu project within the so called R3L-initiative on European Networks of Learning Regions. In the project we made some concrete social experiments in order to “make the village a virtual campus”. We start this paper by making a general introduction to the research area and by giving the motivating background to

The Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) photosynthetic complex found in green sulfur bacteria has over the last decades been one of the favorite "model" systems for biological energy transfer. However, even after 40 years of studies, quantitative knowledge about its energy-transfer properties is limited. Here, two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy with full polarization control is used to provide an accu
The threat to the rural heritage has since the 1990s become a concern for Chinesescholars and heritage experts. Today many individual buildings and whole villageshave been listed as protected sites at different levels. But long before experts began totake an interest, villagers were themselves actively involved in protecting their owntraditions and the buildings of importance to the community (in
A new Regulation on nutrition and health claims came into force in 2007 with implementation during a three-year period and will harmonise this area within the European Community. It makes provision for health claims on foods, including reduction of disease risk claims, and thus recognises the importance of food and nutrition for health. Member states have provided suggestions for claims regarding
