I centrum för avhandlingen står en staty av Marcellus, enligt legenden staden Paris förste biskop. Den placerades vid slutet av 1100-talet som trumeaupelare i Porte Sainte-Anne, den högra av de tre portalerna på Notre-Dames västfasad. En första del av studien ger skulpturens historia, sådan den framställes i den konsthistoriska forskningen, och dess tolkning genom Marcelluslegenden. Ett grundlägg
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kassava är ett stärkelserikt livsmedel, jämförbart med potatis. Det produceras främst i jordens tropiska regionerna och är ett viktigt livsmedel i Afrika söder om Sahara. Kassava har stora fördelar som gröda eftersom avkastningen är hög, den har god motståndskraft mot sjukdomar, den växer även på mager jord och den är motståndskraftig mot torka. Emellertid, kassava har Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important and cheap source of carbohydrate in tropical regions, particularly in Sub-Sahara Africa. Cassava as a human food is a good source of energy as it has a comparable high energy density of about 610 kJ/100 g fresh root. The crop has growth advantages and production can take place in soil where other crops such as maize, sorghum and sweet potatoes can
Purpose: To describe congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) with negative electroretinogram, hypoplastic discs, nystagmus and thinning of the inner nuclear layer (INL). Methods: Retinal structure was analyzed qualitatively with spectral domain optical coherence tomography and wide field imaging. Retinal function was evaluated with full-field electroretinography (ffERG). Molecular genetic tes
We investigate how the anchoring effect—a well-established cognitive bias—influences the full distribution of subjective beliefs. While prior research extensively examines the impact of anchoring and other biases on point estimates, their effect on higher moments of the distribution remains unexplored. Through a pre-registered online experiment (N=732), we find that anchoring impacts the mean, var
To be a caregiver while also being next of kin is emotionally charged. This article discusses narratives of care that goes beyond what Amelia DeFalco calls “caregiving at the limit”, i.e. care necessary for basic survival. In these narratives of what we call desperate care, not only is life at stake, but the care is anxious and urgent, partly done against the will of the care recipient, and the ca
As part of aiming towards a non-smoking hospital environment, staff at a Copenhagen university hospital were offered participation in a differentiated smoking cessation programme. This consisted of lectures, group therapy, follow-up visits and individually tailored nicotine replacement therapy free-of-charge for six weeks. Three hundred and seventy-four employees started the programme, with 353 co
In 1798 the Royal Academy of Science instituted a classification of its members, designating the last class to be filled by those engaged with world of learning and beautiful arts. This study maps the population of this “erudite class” and analyzes the negotiation of epistemic virtues and merits linked to the nebulous field from which the class drew its members. The article argues that a previous
Denna rapport Tillfälliga lösningar i urbana miljöer för långsiktig destinationsutveckling -Om att förstå nyttan med mikroparker för stadens gröna infrastruktur ingår i det av FORMAS finansierade forskningsprojektet ”Urban turismutveckling i förnyelse: Hantera hållbarhet i tilltagande turismflöden”. I rapporten diskuteras hur tillfälliga lösningar i gaturummet kan ha stor betydelse för en långsikt
X-ray phase-contrast imaging by grating interferometry has in the past decades been established both at synchrotron radiation sources and at conventional x-ray tubes. Due to the sensitivity to x-ray phase shifting, contrast in soft tissue has been improved significantly and the possibilities to do virtual histology of tissue biopsies are being pioneered. Constraints in the design of a grating inte
Beijing's interest in the African continent is strong. For some time, China has been investing considerable capital to increase its influence in many sub-Saharan nations, often rich in raw materials and resources considered essential for Chinese industrial growth. In this respect, a very interesting case concerns Tanzania, a significant African state facing the Indian Ocean that has recently estab
Sweden’s child welfare services are characterised by intra-organisational specialisation and collaboration with Barnahus as a standard procedure in cases of child abuse. This chapter examines what happens with social workers’ risk assessments when they are both filtered internally at different units and in relation to Barnahus and a criminal law-oriented logic. Various organisational tensions are
We are facing a climate and ecological emergency. On all levels in society and the economy, there is a need to work towards climate neutrality and sustainable development. A key way to address global and local complex challenges is through cities. But how can we design, create and achieve climate neutral and sustainable cities? This compendium focuses on how to support individuals and organisation
Recent years has seen an unprecedented growth in emerging technologies like Additive manufacturing (AM), augmenting the manufacturing capabilities through a multitude of opportunities while also introducing unique constraints, such as support structures, and post-processing requirements. Taking full advantage of the potential of AM demands product designs to be optimised for both opportunities and
The role of consumers in a circular economy (CE) is crucial but not well understood in the literature. For consumers to become catalysts in a CE, people need to understand how and under what conditions circular consumption is made possible. This chapter conceptualises the sociomaterial assembling of circular consumption, which refers to the process in which heterogeneous elements – meanings, mater
