What defines “Gnosticism” articulated in contemporary Swedish podcasting? Rather than presuming the stability of a theological concept, this explorative study gesture toward a theoretical shift in analysis from origin or tradition to a digital reception. Gnosticism functions here as an encoded resource that circulates across epistemic territories, it is claimed, where meaning emerges through medi

This paper presents a predicted information and predicted action (PIPA) decision-analysis approach with Bayesian material updating for planning material testing in existing reinforced concrete members. The objective is to select the number of concrete and reinforcing-steel tests before testing is performed and before a management action is chosen, accounting jointly for the updated structural perf

Water protection areas (WPAs) are legal instruments that require fixed boundaries that can be clearly defined on a map. Groundwater systems, however, are not fixed. Groundwater capture zones expand, contract, and shift with pumping, while groundwater flow changes with seasons, climate, and land use. In practice, some older protection areas follow roads, property boundaries, or other convenient sur

This volume brings together interdisciplinary research in Islamic, religious, and cultural studies, covering a wide range of subjects and perspectives and challenging conventional academic boundaries and assumptions. It discusses both historical and contemporary examples, with a particular focus on issues relating to theory and methodology, music, soundscapes, and popular and material culture. It

This article aims first to understand how and why refugees decide to leave or stay in their first country of asylum, and second to contribute to the theory of agentic analyses of migration. Our contribution adds to the growing body of research examining the impact of social class and associated capitals on the trajectories of forced migrants. Our analysis of the experiences of Syrians in Turkey an

There is currently widespread concern that rapid technological change will fundamentally change the nature of work. In this paper we show that, despite 140 years of technological change, more than 70 percent of employment today is located in occupations whose core economic functions already existed in the late nineteenth century. Full-count Swedish census and administrative data from 1880 to 2019,

In dit hoofdstuk wordt een overzicht gegeven van het indirecte klimaatrecht in het Neder landse fiscale stelsel. Belastingen worden niet alleen gebruikt om overheidsinkomsten te genereren, maar ook om gedrag te beïnvloeden. Aan de hand van voorbeelden uit verschil lende fiscale deelterreinen laten de auteurs zien dat de wetgever bij zijn keuzes om fiscale maatregelen in te zetten om vervuilend ged

Measurements of surface-atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes have been relatively sparse across the Arctic tundra and boreal biomes, causing significant uncertainties in carbon budget estimates from the region. While the availability of Arctic-boreal carbon flux data has increased substantially over the past decade, the data have remained spread across different repositories, s

Många svenska vattendrag och sjöar har sedan 1990-talet blivit mer brunfärgade av organiskt material från skog och mark, rikt på humusämnen och järn. Meningarna går isär om hur livet i vattnet påverkas och kunskapsläget är ovisst. Detta är vad vi vet och inte vet.

This study presents results from an Intensive Measurement Period (IMP2022) conducted during the European heatwave of July 2022, focusing on ozone, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and carbonaceous aerosols at 31 sites across Europe. The episode featured persistent high-pressure systems, record-breaking temperatures, widespread ozone exceedances and concurrent atmospheric new particle formation a

In-situ remediation through the injection of bioremediation fluids is becoming increasingly common for treating contaminated sites. Contaminants are targeted for treatment either directly at the source zone or through injections that form a permeable reactive barrier to prevent further transport of the contaminants. Commonly, multiple injections are performed in a grid covering an area of strategi

The emergence of markets for on-demand online physician consultations —direct-to-consumer telemedicine (DCT) — is currently transforming many healthcare settings. DCT may be a cost-effective substitute for in-person consultations, but the convenience of seeking DCT may increase the demand for the service and consequently also the costs for health insurers. To causally assess the degree to which DC
