Tim Ingold’s critique of mainstream modern experiences of human–environmental relations is highly persuasive but almost completely disconnected from considerations of social relations of power and inequality. His emphasis on the phenomenology of local relations seems inevitably detached from the logic of abstract economic and political systems. This article proposes that the distortions of experie

The article treats the experience of Swedish designers, architects and sculptors, who travelled to Pompeii over some 200 years, from the 1760s to the 1920s, and their subsequent appropriation of the Pompeian idiom for creations in Stockholm and surroundings.

Om de amerikanska delstaternas ställning gentemot kongress och president.

This article presents two formerly unedited travelaccounts, transcribed from the Swedish manuscripts and translated into English, narrating visits to Herculaneum, the Herculanense Museum and Pompeii, by Georg Fröman, Royal maçon, and Johan Tobias Sergel, sculptor, respectively. The texts are commented and put in historical context. Sergel's thorough accout of the Museum is read in parallel with th

This text presents a virtual reconstruction of an exceptional chimneypiece, made during the very last days of Giovanni Battista Piranesi’s activity in the marble business. After its export to Sweden, the marble double frame (jambs and architraves) from which it was constituted were divided, and reused for two distinct chimneypieces, located in two different Royal residences. The origins of these p

The carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of seawater provides valuable insight on ocean circulation, air-sea exchange, the biological pump, and the global carbon cycle and is reflected by the δ13C of foraminifera tests. Here more than 1700 δ13C observations of the benthic foraminifera genus Cibicides from late Holocene sediments (δ13CCibnat) are compiled and compared with newly updated estimates of t

The Sn intercalation into a buffer layer graphene grown on 4H-SiC(0001) substrate has been studied with spectroscopic photoemission and low energy electron microscope. Both SnSix and SnOx interfacial layers are found to form below the buffer layer, converting it into a quasi-free-standing monolayer graphene. Combining the various operation modes of the microscope allows a detailed insight into the

In this work, we have developed for the first time a method to make novel gold and platinum hybrid bimetallic nanostructures differing in shape and size. Au-Pt nanostructures were prepared by electrodeposition in two simple steps. The first step consists of the electrodeposition of nanocoral Au onto a gold substrate using hydrogen as a dynamic template in an ammonium chloride solution. After that,

Despite the fact that control programs have been available for several decades, mastitis remains an important problem in dairy herds around the world. Possible reasons for this include poor uptake and application of recommended mastitis control measures; poor or variable compliance; or variability in the effects of these measures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the associations betwee

The article elaborates and tests the hypothesis that there are different types of aca demic knowledge that exert different effects on economic growth. Knowledge items differ with respect to the specificities of both their generation and exploitation pro cesses. Building upon these bases, the article articulates the crucial distinction between knowledge as a capital good, necessary to produce all t

Rapid elasticity is one of the essential characteristics of cloud computing identified by NIST [17]. Elasticity allows resources to be provisioned and released to scale rapidly out ward and in ward according to demand. Tens - if not hundreds - of algorithms have been proposed in the literature to automatically achieve elastic provisioning [15, 23, 14, 21, 13, 20, 6, 12, 16, 10]. These algorithms a

Introduction Inhibitor development in people with haemophilia is a serious complication that may require intensive and costly interventions. The goal of inhibitor management should be permanent inhibitor eradication through immune tolerance induction (ITI), but well-designed studies are lacking and the management of patients is therefore defined by the experience and views of the clinician. Object

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis is mainly based on clinical criteria, with a high risk of misdiagnosis. The identification of reliable biomarkers for disease diagnosis and progression has a key role for developing disease-modifying therapies. In this article, we investigated the longitudinal changes of CSF α-synuclein species in early PD patients and explored the potential use of th

Cognitively-normal people with evidence of β-amyloid (Aβ) pathology and subtle cognitive dysfunction are believed to be at high risk for progression to mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Clinical trials in later stages of AD typically include a coprimary endpoint to demonstrate efficacy on both cognitive and functional assessments. Recent trials focus on cognitively-normal
