What is the role of gender in Eastern Christianity? In this volume, Orthodox experts of different disciplines and cultural backgrounds tackle this complex question. They engage critically with gender issues within their own tradition. Rather than simply accepting pervasive assumptions and practices, the authors challenge readers to reconsider historically or theologically justified views by offeri

This dissertation aims to contribute to the study of the relationship between religion and politics and especially research about Islam and Muslims in Sweden. The thesis analyzes how Islam and Muslims are depicted in Swedish public policy debates between 1975–2010. The research questions are: How are Islam and Muslims described in Swedish public policy? Which questions and in what circumstances ar

The aim of this thesis is to critically examine how ethical principles are conceptualized and applied in educational contexts, focusing on the intersection of early childhood education and education for sustainable development. Its contribution to educational research in general, and to philosophy of education in particular, is to; first, discuss the presumed relation between ethical principles an

Bakgrund: Kritisk sjukdom kan definieras som ett tillstånd av svikt i vitala parametrar, vilket ökar risken för oplanerad inläggning på intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA), intrahospitalt hjärtstopp samt död. På vårdavdelning används idag ett standardiserat bedömningsverktyg, National Early Warning Score (NEWS), för att bedöma vitala parametrar. Vid höga NEWS-poäng bör en mobil intensivvårdsgrupp (MIG) k

Abstract Author: Anton Bengtsson and Antonio Peralta Title: To grow up on the right or the wrong side of town: A comparative study between men that have grown up in deprived and non-deprived neighbourhoods. [Translated title] Supervisor: Maria Bangura Arvidsson The aim of this paper is to highlight how masculinity can be different in different circumstances. We have interviewed four men who has be

Ever since the birth of the film medium, the Sámi people, indigenous to Fennoscandia, have been depicted on film. These early films are ethnographic, made from an outsider perspective, depicting the Sámi as exotic and simple. However, in the 1970s, the Sámi became more involved in the filmmaking process, and in 1987, the first Sámi film, Pathfinder, was made. This shift to Sámi self-representation

Titel: Att leda och leda sig själv på distans - En kvalitativ studie om chefers utmaningar i ledarskapet och hur dessa bemöts under Covid-19 Författare: Elin Thomsen och Nathalie Bengtsson Handledare: Malin Andersson Nivå och kurs: Kandidatuppsats vid Institutionen för Service Management, Lunds Universitet, Campus Helsingborg, KSMK65 Service Management: Examensarbete för kandidatexamen, VT 2021, 1

Invasion, mass warfare, foreign hordes, slaughter and pure evil. When pondering these words one will usually attribute them to the traditional conception of the barbarian, and not to something as seemingly distant as Western civilization. In this paper I aim to discuss the rare combination of liberal European civilization and its relation with barbarism in general, specifically focusing on the ca

Sysav tar emot och förbränner brännbart avfall i ett avfallskraftvärmeverk. Vid förbränningen bildas rökgaser som bland annat innehåller svaveloxid. Rökgaserna behöver gå igenom en avsvavlingsprocess eftersom svaveloxid utgör en stor hälsofara på grund av sin toxicitet. Reningsprocessen för rökgaserna består av två skrubbar. I första skrubbern tvättas rökgaserna med vatten och liten mängs kalkslu

Bakgrund: För att skelettmuskulaturen ska kunna kontraheras krävs energirika fosfatbindningar som heter adenosintrifosfat (ATP). För att tillgodose muskulaturens behov av energi finns 3 olika system, där det största, som producerar majoriteten av all ATP under vila och längre ansträngningar (>1 minut) är det aeroba systemet. I avsaknad av syre eller när de aeroba processerna inte hinner ta vara p

Bakgrund Handboll innehåller mycket kroppskontakt och riktningsförändringar i hög hastighet och med stora krafter. Baserat på sportens utformning är axelskador vanligt förekommande, både i form av akuta skador till följd av att spelare blir dragna i armen eller landar på armen, och överbelastningsskador från upprepade skott och passningar. Syftet med studien var att kartlägga och jämföra förekomst

Syftet med vår studie har varit att fördjupa oss i hur musikterapi används av verksamma musikterapeuter och inom olika områden, för att undersöka vilka arbetsmetoder inom området som kan vara användbara för musiklärare främst inom anpassad grundskola. Våra forskningsfrågor har varit att undersöka vilka positiva effekter som musikterapeutiska har, hur verksamma musikterapeuter ser på användandet avThe purpose of this study has been to examine what methods within the subject that can be useful for music teachers working mainly in compulsory school for pupils with intellectual disabilities, as well as to deepen our knowledge of how music therapy is used by music therapists at work in different areas. Our question at issue has been to examine what positive effects music therapy has, what view

Frågan om en kriminalisering av karteller inom den hårda kärnan har sedan millennieskiftet utretts tre gånger inom ramen för statens offentliga utred- ningar. Varje gång har detta avstyrkts. I USA har kartellsamarbeten däremot varit kriminaliserade sedan 1890. Idag tillämpas hårda straff, enskilda förtag har fått betala hundratals miljoner dollar i böter och många personer har dömts till långa fänThe issue of criminalization of hard core cartels has been considered three times in Swedish Government Official Reports since the turn of the millen- nium. The proposition was rejected every time. In the United States, collusion in restraint of trade has been criminalized since 1890. Harsh punishments are applied, some companies have been fined hundreds of millions of dollars and many individuals

This presentation focuses the emotional dilemmas of social workers who recruit and assess foster parents, in a context increasingly defined by market dynamics. Following privatization paralleled with increasing need for childcare, private and public actors today compete to contract potential foster parents in Sweden. For this paper, 43 interviews (with social workers and managers), 21 observation

The maritime expansion of Scandinavian populations during the Viking Age (about ad 750–1050) was a far-flung transformation in world history1,2. Here we sequenced the genomes of 442 humans from archaeological sites across Europe and Greenland (to a median depth of about 1×) to understand the global influence of this expansion. We find the Viking period involved gene flow into Scandinavia from the The maritime expansion of Scandinavian populations during the Viking Age (about ad 750–1050) was a far-flung transformation in world history1,2.

The capacity to get rid of excess heat produced during hard work is a possible constraint on parental effort during reproduction [heat dissipation limit (HDL) theory]. We released hard-working blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) from this constraint by experimentally removing ventral plumage.

PURPOSE: Perceived Threat of the Risk of Graft Rejection (PTRGR) is prominent in organ transplant recipients' lives. When asked about what they fear most, the commonest response is graft rejection. A reasonable assumption is that this perceived threat is also relevant for heart recipients and involves various psychological reactions, such as efforts to cope with the perceived threat. There are no
