Det är en myt, att de medeltida kalkmålningarna överkalkades vid reformationen. Myten lever, då det är en enkel förklaring till kontrasten mellan vitkalkade väggar och valv i exempelvis S:t Petri kyrka i Malmö och Krämarkapellets färgrika kalkmålningar i samma kyrka. Myten finner även stöd i en del litteratur och på hemsidor, trots att det är känt sedan 1800-talets slut att traditionen med kalkmålIt is a myth, that the medieval ecclesiastic wall-paintings were whitewashed during the Reformation. The myth lives on, as it is perceived as a simple explanation of the contrast between the white church walls and vaults at e.g. Saint Peter in Malmö and the colorful wall-paintings of the chapel of the vendors there. The myth also finds support in some literature and on webpages, although it has be

The purpose of this study was to describe nurses’ experiences of promoting healthy aging in municipalities. A descriptive qualitative research design based on semi-structured interviews with 13 nurses was employed. The nurses described the importance of giving older adults the possibility to live as individuals, but also that the organization matters as too does the nurses’ own desire to work prof

Head-up tilt test (TT) has been used for >50 years to study heart rate/blood pressure adaptation to positional changes, to model responses to haemorrhage, to assess orthostatic hypotension, and to evaluate haemodynamic and neuroendocrine responses in congestive heart failure, autonomic dysfunction, and hypertension. During these studies, some subjects experienced syncope due to vasovagal reflex. A

This paper examines the aftermath of the 1897 Riksbank Act in Swedish banking. The Act placed banks with unlimited and limited liability upon equal footing, removing the note issuing privileges of the former. We consider whether changes in risk preferences occurred subsequent to the Act, or whether extended liability was a sufficient deterrent. We conclude that when legal differences were removed,

We develop an optimal control model for cost-effective management of pollution, including two state variables, pollution stock and ecosystem quality. We apply it to Baltic Sea pollution by nitrogen leachates from agriculture. We present a sophisticated, non-linear model of leaching abatement costs, and a simple model of nitrogen stocks. We find that significant abatement is achievable at reasonabl

Hydrogel materials which respond to changes in temperature are widely applicable for injectable drug delivery or tissue engineering applications. Here, we report the unsual heat-induced gelation behaviour of a low molecular weight gelator based on an Fmoc-hexapeptide, Fmoc-GFFRGD. We show that Fmoc-GFFRGD forms kinetically stable fibres when mixed with divalent cations (e.g. Ca2+). Gelation of the

This paper explores design students’ proposals for a redesign of the interior of a room of silence at the SUS hospital in Malmö. Reflection and existential meaning-making are discussed in relation to the material culture of design, and more specifically in relation to four different themes found among the students’ proposals: nature as common symbolic framework and salutary force; lighting creatin

There is once again an increased demand for interventions supporting small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) because of the widely held believe that they provide most of the jobs. In order to answer the question whether pro SME policies are justified on factual grounds the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) came out with a new study

This paper seeks to investigate impacts and values on benchmarking eLearning in universities, a literary survey for coming research on two European benchmarking initiatives, the EADTU, eXcellence and the ESMU eLearning2009. The survey indicated that quality indicators, benchmarks or critical success factors have not so far been taken into considerations in national or international quality assuran

Both in the social and natural sciences, methodologies have been developed to deal with relatively stable conditions, where findings can be validated based on past experiences. At a time when both social and natural phenomena are rapidly changing, new approaches are urgently needed to produce knowledge for systemic change, inform high-stakes decisions, and enable sustainability transitions in the

Ground truth datasets play a fundamental role as reference values in the training and evaluation of machine learning models. This position paper argues that ground truths are not neutral objective measurements that are naturally given, but instead that they are constructed by arrangements of humans and technologies. We argue that the ML community will benefit from articulating and discussing these

Public spaces are increasingly becoming battlegrounds over collective identity, associeties revisit which figures deserve commemoration. The removal of statues andstreet names has become a powerful symbolic act, as for those attached to theselegacies, such changes may be seen as denying their group identity. This paperexamines the political consequences of such symbolic changes in the context of S

According to bargaining models, control over land is an important determinant of power relations within a family, especially in agrarian societies. This thesis argues that the land reform in South Africa will not improve women's bargaining power much for several reasons: The government does not undertake enough measures to address the social structures and legal obstacles that women face when

This article presents the results of survey-based research which explores if licensed aircraft maintenance engineers working in Norway, Sweden, and Portugal experience regulated “just culture” as procedural justice-infused processes when occurrence reporting in European Union (EU) civil aviation. Drawing on Tylerian procedural justice theory, the study finds that, perceived procedural justice is m

The self-assembly of proteins into beta-sheet-rich amyloid fibrils has been observed to occur with sigmoidal kinetics, indicating that the system initially is trapped in a metastable state. Here, we use a minimal lattice-based model to explore the thermodynamic forces driving amyloid formation in a finite canonical (NVT) system. By means of generalized-ensemble Monte Carlo techniques and a semi-an
