There is an increasing consensus that individual adaptive capacities are critical to successfully adapt to climate change and achieve sustainable development. However, little is known about adaptive practices, particularly in developed countries. Against this background, this paper investigates the strategies used by Swedish citizens to adapt to (changing) climatic variability and extremes. It off
The article discusses the role of intuition for insight. Creativity provides heuristic solutions to problems that are intractable if approached in standard, algorithmic ways. Intuition is claimed to occur during the incubation phase (Wallas 1926) and to crucially depend on embodied memory and unconscious processing of memories, such as reconstruction and recreation. Two suggestions as to how memor
The instrumental importance of provisional remedies
The stereotypes about older adults and the incomplete picture that emerges when such persons are described in terms of properties and a characteristic derived from ageing is one motivation for defining the status of older users. The other key motivation is that the elderly are just one user-group among others so that the perspective on how technology is used may or may not tell us something about
We report a virtual Compton scattering study of the proton at low c.m. energies. We have determined the structure functions PLL–PTT/and PLT, and the electric and magnetic generalized polarizabilities (GPs) E(Q2) and M(Q2) at momentum transfer Q2=0.92 and 1.76 GeV2. The electric GP shows a strong falloff with Q2, and its global behavior does not follow a simple dipole form. The magnetic GP shows a
Abstract in Norwegian Moderne transplantasjonsteknologi har gjort menneskekroppen til en handelsvare. Den svenske etnologen Susanne Lundin har i mange år studert den internasjonale organhandelens uhyggelige og lukkede verden. I denne thrilleraktige reportasjeboken tar hun leseren med inn i en verden befolket av fortvilede vestlige pasienter som vil gjøre hva som helst for å skaffe seg for eksempe
Popular Abstract in Swedish Pulserande stjärnrester (OBS! Kontakta mig för figurerna eller se artikeln publicerat i Populär Astronomi). Rubina Kotak, Populär Astronomi, 2002, Nr 2, sid. 29 Stjärnorna's utveckling: Solen är idag ungefär fem miljarder, alltså fem tusen miljoner år gammal. Hur ser solen's framtiden ut? Som i de allra flesta stjärnor, pågår även i solen's innersta delar kärn reaktiSeveral analyses using time-resolved optical spectrocopy of pulsating white dwarfs are presented. The data have been put to a number of uses. First, line-of-sight velocities associated with the pulsations have been measured in three hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs (DAVs), bringing the total number of such measurements up to five. They have also been measured for the first time in a pulsating heli
