En åpen og opplyst offentlig samtale er en forutsetning for et velfungerende demokrati. Dette idealet fordrer at borgere i stor grad tolererer meningsmotstandere fremfor å utvikle fiendtlige holdninger til dem man er uenig med. En rekke studier fra USA har imidlertid vist at borgere i økende grad er fiendtlig innstilt til velgere de er politisk uenig med (Iyengar et al., 2019). Dette fenomenet er

Three different circulation mechanisms are analyzed: 1) through-flow of a river; 2) wind generated oscillations; and 3) convective currents induced by heat flow from the bottom sediments. The through-flow takes place between the ice and a depth, which is mainly determined by the conditions at the inlet of the river into the lake. Just below this depth there is a sharp thermocline. The water mass b

This study confronts the current crisis of churches. In critical and creative conversation with the German theologian Ernst Troeltsch (1865-1923), Ulrich Schmiedel argues that churches need to be “elasticized” in order to engage the other. Examining contested concepts of religiosity, community, and identity, Schmiedel explores how the closure of church against the sociological other corresponds to

Mostly known for his letters, written in an impressionistic style, Johan Ekeblad was a nobleman and diplomat during the period of the Swedish Empire (svenska stormakts-tiden) in the seventeenth century. This article seeks to treat Ekeblad and his writing as an example of a baroque mentality—here de+ned as marked by dialectical relation-ships of old and new, order and disorder, the religious and th

In Sweden 1600 patients/year survive cardiac arrest (30-day survival). Post-resuscitation care is complex and aims to stabilize organ function with focus on preventing secondary brain injury. In 2021 The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) published joint guidelines on post-resuscitation care. In this article the Swedish Resuscitation Counci

Anorexia nervosa is a chronic, progressive illness that is difficult to treat. Four years after diagnosis, less than 50% of patients have recovered, and 25% of anorexic patients progress to chronicity and invalidism. Because anorexia nervosa typically begins in adolescence, teenagers should be watched closely for signs that may reflect an eating disorder. In the early stages of the disease, though

The development of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and atypical antidepressants has changed the treatment of depression significantly. Newer antidepressants lack many of the side effects associated with the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (isocarboxazid, for example) and the tricyclic antidepressants, thereby increasing patient compliance. They are also less dangerous in overdose and are ofte
