We welcome Raymond et al.’s invitation to further discuss the ‘pragmatics’ of relational thinking in sustainability science. We clarify that relational approaches provide distinct theoretical and methodological resources that may be adopted on their own, or used to enrich other approaches, including systems research. We situate Raymond et al.’s characterization of relational thinking in a broader

This research investigated social interactions within small significant networks across a range of higher education settings to determine their role in supporting improvements to assessment. Thirty-four academic staff from three higher education settings (Australia, Canada and Sweden) provided assessment change examples and drew network diagrams to explain their interactions. Significant social in

Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) have provided valuable insights into how sexual selection and life history trade-offs can lead to variation within a sex. However, the possibility that tactics may constrain evolution through intralocus tactical conflict (IATC) is rarely considered. In addition, when IATC has been considered, the focus has often been on the genetic correlations between the A

The role of economic freedom in national and sub-national development has been studied extensively in both cross-country and in cross-regional studies and used to explain differences in a wide array of economic outcomes. These findings motivated us to construct an index of economic freedom for the regions of the Russian Federation (EFRF). This paper presents the EFRF index and describes the method

Nationalmuseum öppnades 1866 och var del av ett nationalistiskt färgat och normskapande projekt. Analysen av de som deltog i inköpsnämnds konsekrerande beslut under perioden 1890–1920 kring vilken svensk konst som skulle införlivas i museets samling är licentiatuppsatsens grund.This licentiate study looks at the Nationalmuseum as a consecrating institution within the Swedish field of art between 1890 and 1920.

We are interested in complex electronic structures of various atomic and ionics systems. We use an ab initioapproach, the multiconfigurational Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF), to compute atomic structures and properties.We contribute in three main ways to the already existent literature: by developing and implementing originalcomputer programs, by investigating possibilities of alternative computationa

Different strategies have been used to stimulate a return to work (RTW) among individuals suffering from long-term ailments. In Sweden a new law on "resting disability pension" permits disability pensioners to go back to work without jeopardising their benefits. In this study different variables related to RTW during 2000 by means of this legislation were identified among disability pensioners witDifferent strategies have been used to stimulate a return to work (RTW) among individuals suffering from long-term ailments.

Purpose: To explore adaptation patterns among disability pensioners with musculoskeletal disorders returning to work by means of the Swedish law on 'resting disability pension'. Method: Qualitative analyses of interviews with 17 individuals going back to work. Results: Three adaptation patterns were identified: The Go- getter, the Realist and the Indifferent. These differed regarding influence facPurpose.

Kapitlet lyfter fram frågan om mänskliga rättigheter i utvalda former och hur de påverkar migranters positioner. Ett svenskt exempel illustrerar de utmaningar som migranter står inför i termer av exkludering.

Relativistic atomic structure calculations are carried out in alkaline-earth-metal ions using a semiempirical-core-potential approach. The systems are partitioned into frozen-core electrons and an active valence electron. The core orbitals are defined by a Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculation using the GRASP2K package. The valence electron is described by a Dirac-like Hamiltonian involving a core-p

We present a consistent set of calculated energies and E1, M1, E2, M2 radiative transition data for the main n = 3 levels from the 3s23p4, 3p6, 3s3p43d, 3s23p23d2, 3s3p5, 3s23p33d, and 3s3p33d2 configurations for S-like ions from Cr ix to Cu xiv. The fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock method implemented in the GRASP2K code is used to perform the present calculations. The exci

Understanding vegetation response to natural and anthropogenic forcings is vital for managing watersheds as natural ecosystems. We used a novel integrated framework to separate the impacts of natural factors (e.g. drought, precipitation and temperature) from those of anthropogenic factors (e.g. human activity) on vegetation cover change at the watershed scale. We also integrated several datasets i

Precipitation varies spatiotemporally in amount, intensity, and frequency. Although, much research has been conducted on analyzing precipitation patterns and variation at the global scale, trend types have still not received much attention. This study developed a new polynomial‐based model for detecting non‐linear and linear trends in a satellite precipitation product (TRMM 3B43) for the 1998‐2017

Accurate atomic data are essential for opacity calculations and for abundance analyses of the Sun and other stars. The aim of this work is to provide accurate and extensive results of energy levels and transition data for C i–iv. The Multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and relativistic configuration interaction methods were used in this work. To improve the quality of the wavefunctions and reduc

One can falsely assume that it is well known that bacteremia is associated with higher mortality in sepsis. Only a handful of studies specifically focus on the comparison of culture-negative and culture-positive sepsis with different conclusions depending on study design. The aim of this study was to describe outcome for critically ill patients with either culture-positive or -negative sepsis in a
