Based on this understanding of baptism, baptismal ecclesiology can be defined as an understanding of the church that is primarily grounded in the sacrament of baptism. Baptismal ecclesiology sheds light on

Although biologics have revolutionized psoriasis treatment, they pose a significant burden on the healthcare budget. With the wide range of biologics available and the increasing number of biosimilars, insights into the real-world cost per responder (CPR) are required. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the real-world CPR of adalimumab, ustekinumab, IL17-and IL23-inhibitors, incorporating both

Purpose: Prolonged stress leading to sick leave is a serious health problem, and it is crucial to find ways to support recovery. The aim of this review was to synthesize the results from qualitative research about what people with stress-related disorders experience as supportive for recovery. Methods: The systematic review was designed as a qualitative meta-synthesis following the recommendations

The estimation of high resolution spectrometer Instrument Spectral Response Functions (ISRFs) is crucial because an imperfect knowledge of these functions can induce errors in the measurements. The state-of-the-art for this problem currently relies on the use of parametric models, which frequently lack flexibility to accurately model real-world ISRFs. To address this limitation, this paper propose

The 2025 Boyle Lecture explores the partnership between science, technology, theology, and spirituality in addressing contemporary challenges. Reflecting on historical and modern dynamics, it emphasizes the need for transdisciplinary collaboration to avoid cultural poverty and handle the current polycrisis in a world prone to polarization, populism, protectionism, post-truth, and patriarchy. The l

The seven articles of this special issue of Post-Medieval Archaeology provide a background to this paper. Their various interpretations and operationalizations have provided a plethora of perspectives and localities concerning past political economies. This paper aims to further the discussion of political economy and its relevance in historical archaeology. The very many connections between econo

This paper deals with the presence of Sámi in central and southern Sweden in the seventeenth century. The Nordic countries have generally been believed to be ethnically homogeneous, with the** colonial subjects not being present in the center of these empires. If the multicultural aspects of early modern Nordic countries are at all discussed, Sámi and other ethnic groups are understood as peoples

This article analyses the industrial enterprise of the Dutch-born brothers Abraham and Jakob Momma-Reenstierna and their investments in Sápmi and the upper parts of the Torne River Valley, northern Sweden, during the second half of the seventeenth century. The aim is to explore the driving forces behind the industrial projects of the two brothers in a larger global and colonial context. With inspi

This article analyses the role of material culture in the enforcing of a colonial order in early modern Sápmi (Land of the Sámi, the indigenous people in northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Russia). In addition, the article focuses on the unequal power relations created through the collecting and cultural appropriation of Sámi objects. The 17th century saw a rapid growth of

In 1620, the Danish colony of Tranquebar, on the Coromandel Coast in India, was founded by an expedition jointly mounted by the Danish Crown and the Danish East India Company, under the command of the Danish nobleman Ove Gjedde. Gjedde soon went back to Denmark, but the experiences gained in the colony proved important for his future career as a military man, civil servant and industrialist. The p

In the late medieval period the religious guilds along with trade guilds grew in importance, as did the role of material culture related to the guilds. This history has seen little examination from a Fenno-Scandinavian and particularly a Swedish vantage point. In order to analyse the role of material culture in the formation of this way of organizing people, the article investigates the existence

In recent years, there has been a large-scale boom in mining in the present-day Swedish part of Sâpmi, leading to protests from Sâmi activists as well as environmentalist groups. To the protesters, issues of Swedish colonialism and Sâmi indigeneity are central, and history becomes important. Taking its starting point in the mining conflicts, this article discusses Sâmi archaeology and claims for S

Historisk arkeologi är ett perspektiv, verksamt i skärningspunkten mellan den materiella kulturen, de avbildande källmaterialen och de skriftliga källorna som tillför en rumslig dimension i studiet av det förflutna. Mellan medeltid och modernitet introducerar detta kunskapsfält genom att berätta om dess historia, metoder och resultat rörande de senaste 700-årens historia. Bokens fokus ligger på pr
