The theory of Restorative Justice aims to give an answer to these questions. Developed towards the end of the twentieth century, as an alternative to the retributive justice, Restorative Justice focuses on the harm and the obligations that a crime creat

Group exhibition.'The horizon is always receding' brings together a selection of works that reflect on the scope and the implications that the term contemporary may have. As the philosopher Giorgio Agamben suggests, contemporaneity can be understood as a term that surpasses temporal demarcations and transcends simultaneity and coexistence.

Context. Determination and calibration of the ages of stars, which heavily rely on stellar evolutionary models, are very challenging, while representing a crucial aspect in many astrophysical areas. Aims. We describe the methodologies that, taking advantage of Gaia-DR1 and the Gaia-ESO Survey data, enable the comparison of observed open star cluster sequences with stellar evolutionary models. The

Immunsystemet håller oss friska och kan på ett kontrollerat sätt öka sin aktivitet (inflammation) för att bekämpa infektioner. Om inflammationen i luftvägarna är överdriven och långvarig kan det skada lungvävnaden och leda till bindvävsombyggnad (fibros), infektionskänslighet och försämrad lungfunktion. I projektet undersöker vi nyckelmekanismer som kan användas för att begränsa vävnadsskadan i luThe immune system keeps us healthy and upon infection, its activity is upregulated in a strictly controled manner (i.e. inflammation) to eradicate invading pathogens. Excessive and long-standing inflammation cause tissue injury, subsequently resulting in remodeling (fibrosis), vulnerability to acquire infections, and respiratory failure. In the project, we characterize key mechanisms of importance
