The article investigates the potential existence of an order founded by Hedvig Nordenflycht.

The goals of this essay are to identify rituals and ritual behavior at the department of archaeology and ancient history at Lund University. To do this a series of empirical examinations was conducted. Observations, interviews and polls revealed that some ritual behavior is in fact present. Two types of rituals were identified; the interaction ritual, as presented by Erving Goffman in the book Int

The importance of formal education systems in relation to environmental and social problems has been increasingly emphasised in international agreements and conferences. Despite this fact, the process of implementation in schools is slow. One important aspect of Education for Sustainability (EFS) is the connection between schools and their local environment. This implies that the schools can expe

The Draft Treaty establishing the Constitution for Europe introduces some significant changes in the institutional setting of the European Union; the present study focuses on reforms made by this text in the EU system of external representation, particularly in the area of the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Although the Amsterdam Treaty has also been a attempt to reform only a few years ago,

The aim of this project is to make a model which could be used during risk identification in swedish underground stations. The model is based on a risk identification in T-centralen, Stockholm and will in a foreseeable way structure the risk sources that can affect personal safety. There will be suggestions concerning preventive measures in an underground station, both material and organizational.

The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are the golden age of the poetic epitaph in Sweden and Europe. Most epitaphs were shaped in accordance with the principle of decorum, i.e., they were written to praise the dead and to comfort the bereaved. But there were also poems that sought to instead find faults with the deceased, sometimes even to insult their memory. A form of funeral poetry that was

En beskrivning av folkmusikfestivalen i småländska Korrö, utifrån historiserande och kulturanalytiska perspektiv.

Purpose Patients' understanding of their illness is key for making informed treatment decisions, yet studies suggest an association between prognostic awareness and worse quality of life (QOL) and mood among patients with advanced cancer. We sought to explore the relationships among prognostic awareness, coping, QOL, and mood in patients with newly diagnosed, incurable cancer. Methods We assessed

Purpose: This study explores variation theory-based interventions’ contribution to enhancing preschoolers’ subitizing abilities during iterative lessons. Results are presented according to low, middle and high achievers, focused on those with prominent challenges. Design/methodology/approach: In total 68 Swedish preschoolers participated. They were randomly assigned to one of the intervention/cont

The identification of helium nuclei at LHCb is achieved using a method based on measurements of ionisation losses in the silicon sensors and timing measurements in the Outer Tracker drift tubes. The background from photon conversions is reduced using the RICH detectors and an isolation requirement. The method is developed using pp collision data at √s = 13 TeV recorded by the LHCb experiment in th

To link geophysical field data to specific biological phenomena, controlled laboratory experiments are needed for the understanding of the response of geophysical parameters to changes in biological conditions. In this study, suspensions of bacteria were mixed with sand to create a biofilm growing on a surface and these mixtures were monitored using the geoelectrical spectral induced polarization

This chapter focuses on taxation in Africa since 1900. Using existing data and insights from the literature, the chapter documents taxes collected by colonial and post-colonial states, exploring what was taxed, the types of taxes, the tax revenue patterns and the socio-political contexts shaping taxation policies. It begins by discussing the fundamental principles of taxation and forms of direct a

PURPOSE: A polygenic risk score (PRS) consisting of 313 common genetic variants (PRS313) is associated with risk of breast cancer and contralateral breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the association of the PRS313 with clinicopathologic characteristics of, and survival following, breast cancer.METHODS: Women with invasive breast cancer were included, 98,397 of European ancestry and 12,920

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Albumin is a protein with multifaceted functions in the human body. According to many studies, lower serum albumin may be associated with depression in various groups of psychiatric and non-psychiatric patients, as well as with attempted suicide. As more severe depressive symptoms have been identified as a reliable risk factor for suicide in patients with high suicide risk, it

While “meaning negotiation” has become an ubiquitous term, its use is often confusing. A negotiation problem implies not only a convenience to agree, but also diverging interest on what to agree upon. It implies agreement but also the possibility of (voluntary) disagreement. In this chapter, we look at meaning negotiation as the process through which agents starting from different preferred concep
