The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism. It was Huxley’s firm belief that mankind needed a unifying system of thought that could motivate action and change. Transhumanism was also an attempt to unite a more traditional humanistic view of the human as containing some form of core essence The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism.

In the Stead of Another: Memory Places and the Rhetoric of Witnessing in Göran Rosenberg’s A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz (I stället för en annan. Minnesplatser och vittnesretorik i Göran Rosenbergs Ett kort uppehåll på vägen från Auschwitz)As the last witnesses of the Nazi genocide disappear, the question of who can speak in their stead about the horrors of the Holocaust surfaces with re

This study deals with segmental articulations based on acceleration signals from EMA data. We test how well the one-to-one relationship between acceleration peaks and segment boundaries (as described within the framework of the Descriptive Approach to Segmental Articulations) works across different prosodic levels in Swedish, here: focused and unfocused position, with the assumption of a positive

Task 3.1 in Work Package (WP) 3 of the CULTIVATE project aims to investigate costs, investments, challenges, drivers, and success factors to establish and maintain urban and peri-urban food sharing initiatives (FSIs). This investigation builds on the conceptual framework, which has been developed from a systematic literature review on the topic of food sharing and enriched with topics from several

Inkomsterna är högre i städerna än på landsbygden. Samtidigt kan det vara dyrare att bo i städer och för den som bor på landsbygden kan resekostnader var höga. Detta väcker en viktig fråga: Är skillnaden mellan städer och landsbygd mindre när man tar hänsyn till skillnader i boende- och resekostnader, dvs. när man använder ett mått på levnadsstandard som även inkluderar kostnader?

Förändrade livsmedelspriser och odlingsförutsättningar gör att jordbrukets inkomster varierar över tiden. Kraftigt sjunkande inkomster kan innebära att jordbrukare lämnar sektorn. Vid en allvarlig kris som riskerar att slå ut lönsamma företag och hota matproduktionen kan staten behöva gå in och ge stöd.I denna rapport diskuterar vi under vilka förutsättningar staten bör ge stöd och när jordbruket

En skillnad i lönsamhet mellan företag på landsbygden och företag i staden har uppkommit sedan början av 2000-talet. Ökad regional ojämlikhet bland företagen rimmar illa med målen för Sveriges nationella strategi för hållbar regional utveckling. Men vad beror lönsamhetsgapet mellan stad och land på? Vi finner att:Lönsamhetsgapet beror på att skattesystemet gynnar högkvalificerade företag som framf

Analyser av geografiska inkomstskillnader baseras ofta på jämförelser avgenomsnittsinkomster i olika delar av Sverige. Vi utgår i stället från ett longitudinellt perspektiv där disponibla inkomster för individer uppväxta i glesbygdrespektive storstad följs över tiden. De geografiska inkomstskillnaderna blir dåmindre och ökar inte entydigt över tid. Samtidigt syns stora skillnader mellanstannare oc

This dissertation explores the interplay between valuation and academic socialization, addressing the question: how do early career academics navigate evaluative landscapes? Having completed their doctoral education but yet to find stable employment, early career academics are generally viewed as the most vulnerable group of academic staff.

The ordinance provided the legal basis for the right to copy books in Denmark-Norway until 1814, and in Denmark it remained in force until 1857. It was not only the first general law of its kind in Scandinavia but also the first in Europe outside the British Isles. The commentary describes the background to the promulgation of the ordinance, with particular emphasis on the religious and market con

Danish and Norwegian legislation concerning censorship and print changed dramatically in the years between 1770 and 1773, following three distinct royal orders issued during and shortly after the German physician Johann Friedrich Struensee’s time in power at the Danish court. The Order of 14 September 1770 abolished, with one swift stroke, the old system of pre-publication censorship by expert rea

This short communication is concerned with long object shift of reflexives in Swedish. Only 3rd person reflexives can shift across their antecedent. For some reason this is possible even if the antecedent is 1st or 2nd person as well, but certain requirements on the antecedent are necessary. This paper shows that neither a purely syntactic nor a purely semantic analysis can account for all the fac
