This paper explores guldgubbar, small gold foil figures from Vendel Period Scandinavia (c. 550–800 CE), through a new materialist lens, moving beyond representational interpretations rooted in Cartesian thought, that usually frames images to be in stasis. Instead of seeking a singular meaning, the study focuses on the figures’ materiality, affective qualities, and ontological openness. Drawing on
The activity and stability of an electrocatalyst is governed by the structural and chemical changes occurring at the solid–liquid interface. While single crystal electrodes have often served as model systems to elucidate structure–function relationships, extending these insights to more realistic polycrystalline electrodes requires experimental techniques with spatial resolution that can operate u
Denna berättelse om Synergi mellan Strål- och Immun-Terapi har sitt ursprung i resultaten av försök som utfördes år 2001 vilka avsåg att kombinera tumörvaccin-behandling med strålterapi av Fischer-344 råttor med gliom-tumörer inokulerade i hjärnan.Med 3 omgångar tumörvaccin kombinerat med endast en fraktion strålterapi á 5Gy, överlevde sex av åtta behandlade djur (ca.75%). Detta dramatiska resulta

This perspective article explores how sustainability transitions experience a geo-economization based on rising concerns about sovereignty. We argue that sovereignty has yet again become an active force structuring socio-technical trajectories. In this case, socio-technical systems tend to be reconfigured in ways that first and foremost ensure the continued provision of their core societal functio
Using stigmatising language to describe the crisis at the Poland-Belarus border is wrong and plays into Lukashenka’s hands
Motion sickness is thought to result from sensory conflict among visual, vestibular, and somatosensory inputs. Input from abdominal viscera may also contribute to motion detection. It affects up to two-thirds of the population and can be triggered by transport or virtual environments. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. Treatments include antihistamines, scopolam
INTRODUCTION: Acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUVP), or vestibular neuritis, disrupts the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), leading to impaired gaze stability during head movements. Vestibular function typically recovers to some extent. However, if recovery is incomplete, corrective eye saccades must compensate for the deficient VOR function. The aim was to analyze the progression of VOR gain recove
Handelns omställning mot cirkulär ekonomi är en av vår tids mest angelägna utmaningar. Allt fler handelsföretag experimenterar med cirkulära tjänster som second hand, reparation och uthyrning, men frågan om hur dessa tjänster ska integreras i butikernas dagliga verksamhet på ett effektivt och lönsamt sätt är långt ifrån löst.Projektets utgångspunkt var att butiken spelar en nyckelroll i handelns c
Symmetry breaking is a crucial technique in modern combinatorial solving, but it is difficult to be sure it is implemented correctly. The most successful approach to deal with bugs is to make solvers certifying, so that they output not just a solution, but also a mathematical proof of correctness in a standard format, which can then be checked by a formally verified checker. This requires justifyi
Loess–palaeosol sequences (LPS) represent one of the most important continental archives of late Quaternary environmental change in Europe. Establishing reliable chronologies is essential for reconstructing dust dynamics and for correlating regional loess stratigraphies. In this study, we present the first systematically derived mass accumulation rate (MAR) dataset for six key Polish LPS, based on
High-efficiency single-photon detection in the microwave domain is a key enabling technology for various quantum applications. However, the extremely low energy of microwave photons presents a fundamental challenge, preventing direct photon-to-charge conversion as achieved in optical systems using semiconductors. Here, we demonstrate continuous microwave photon detection with an efficiency approac
Despite being such an important factor for individual identity, Orthodox churches have not been sufficiently studied. In addition, the study of gender in these churches often seems formed by the impression that they do not change. This article therefore explores a seemingly static feature, the gendered seating in three Syriac Orthodox parishes in Sweden, from the point of view of space and agency:
By inspecting Diane Cook’s novel The New Wilderness, this thesis positions the practice of mothering within the larger Anthropocene humanities scholarship. While the Earth has often been mythologized as maternal, there has been a distinct lack of close attention paid to the cultural representations of lived experiences of mothers in the Anthropocene. Hence, this thesis begins by conducting a matri
This thesis analyses how the biblical motif of the deluge is portrayed in modern fantasy. I apply an ecocritical perspective on the deluge as a way to portray natural disasters and climate change. The intertextuality with the Bible and what that lends to the literary works is in focus for the analysis as well as what role the water has in the fictive material. Through the paper I discuss water as
Studien undersöker den möjliga världen som Carl Jonas Love Almqvists "Skaldens natt" utgör. Utgångspunkten för studien är de specifika textuella villkoren som "Skaldens natt" är konstruerad utifrån. Undersökningen ämnar att begripliggöra "Skaldens natt". Både alstrets inre egenskaperna som fiktion och konstruktion samt hur den fiktiva världen förhåller sig till genr
I takt med att allt fler användningsområden upptäcks ökar efterfrågan på biologiska läkeme-del i form av till exempel enzymer, antikroppar och virus. I många fall har biologiska läke-medel redan blivit standard i behandlingen av sjukdomar som diabetes, HIV/AIDS, samt vissa neurologiska sjukdomar. Dessa läkemedel kännetecknas av att de produceras av celler som har blivit genetiskt modifierade för aAs the market for biopharmaceuticals grows, the demand for continuous downstream pro-cessing (DSP) increases. This thesis tackled one of the key factors in successfully creating a continuous chromatography process: the ability to have an automated supply of complex buffer solutions. It aimed to develop and evaluate a Buffer Preparation Unit using an ÄKTA Pure machine, as well as the development of
