Prehistory as sonic inspiration : palaeontological heritage in popular music

Apparently palaeontology is deeply rooted in popular music. Just take bands like T. Rex, Mastodon, Dinosaur Jr, The Ammonites, Mammoth, and Novi Fosili (the new fossils), and you get the picture. Digging into this subject matter it turns out that the extinct residents of prehistoric times have inspired not only band names, but also record and song titles and album cover artwork. In this paper I ex

Here, There and Everywhere : The Radiolar Eyes of Fan Worms (Annelida, Sabellidae)

Fan worms (Annelida: Sabellidae) possess some of the strangest eyes in nature. Their eponymous fans are composed of two sets of radiolar tentacles that project from the head up out of the worm's protective tube into the water column. Primarily used for respiration and feeding, these radioles are also often involved in photoreception. They display a surprising diversity of eyes of varying levels of

The same or different : A comparison of the rhythmic structure of Swedish and Albanian

The purpose of this contribution is to give an account of the similarities or dissimilarities of the speech rhythm of Swedish and Albanian. In this study, temporal features were focused on to ascertain rhythmic differences between the two languages. The interest for this study arose when a clear rhythmic variation was observed in the accented Swedish L2 speech produced by L1-speakers of Albanian,

Social networks of men who have sex with men and their implications for HIV/STI interventions : Results from a cross-sectional study using respondent-driven sampling in a large and a small city in Tanzania

Objective: Men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa remain hidden and hard to reach for involvement in HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) services. The aim of the current study was to describe MSM social networks in a large and a small Tanzanian city in order to explore their utility for peer-based healthcare interventions. Methods: Data were collected through respondent-dri

Photoreception in Phytoplankton

In many species of phytoplankton, simple photoreceptors monitor ambient lighting. Photoreceptors provide a number of selective advantages including the ability to assess the time of day for circadian rhythms, seasonal changes, and the detection of excessive light intensities and harmful UV light. Photoreceptors also serve as depth gauges in the water column for behaviors such as diurnal vertical m

Exercise and internet-based cognitive-behavioural therapy for depression : Multicentre randomized controlled trial with 12-month follow-up

Background Evidence-based treatment of depression continues to grow, but successful treatment and maintenance of treatment response remains limited. Aims To compare the effectiveness of exercise, internet-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (ICBT) and usual care for depression. Method A multicentre, three-group parallel, randomised controlled trial was conducted with assessment at 3 months (posttr

Extended Producer Responsibility for Closing Material Loops: Lessons from energy-efficient lighting products

The transition to a low-carbon economy requires enabling technologies including energy-efficient lighting products. It is increasingly recognized that a sustainable economy is not only low-carbon and energy efficient, but also resource efficient. Previous research has highlighted the importance and need for increased collection and recycling of lamps, to reduce mercury emissions, to avoid unnecess

What we know and what we don't know about Swedish labor market history : Reflections on Spelets Regler

In this paper we reflect upon the state of Swedish labor market history by using Christer Lundh’s synthesis Spelets regler as a point of departure. In particular, we discuss three main themes: (1) the relationship between economic structures and institutions, (2) power and income distribution, and (3) flexibility and segmentation. In future research we would like to see stronger empirical evidence

WEEE with Value: Experience from Lighting Products

• WEEE with value has traditionally been considered by simple cost -benefit analysis or models, while the reality is more complex.• Lighting products demonstrate that value can also arise from moreholistic considerations of value, and is influenced by multiple stakeholders,time considerations, and market conditions.• Mapping value can help incentivise and plan for value in rapidlychanging products
