»Music to me is… my work. I've landed in the best job in the world, where a core task is to discover new music, to learn its internal logic and aesthetics, who created it, and why. I'm a music researcher and have just returned from the island of Java in Indonesia with my research partner and husband Nils, where we've been visiting experimental musicians in Yogyakarta – artists we've now followed f

Since 2003, Kamikatsu in Japan has established a sustainable zero-waste practice that has achieved a recycling rate exceeding 80%. By exploring how the community has shaped itself around the zero-waste concept, this paper aims to enhance our understanding of zero waste in practice from a universal design perspective. Interviews and photo documentation were used to gather data.

In villages and cities across the Indonesian island of Java, hundreds of songbird competitions are held every week. In these competitions, members of one species of songbird compete each other, where the aesthetic qualities the song, including its rhythm, melody, timbre, and volume, are evaluated by a team of referees. First prizes are large cash awards and sometimes cars. Birdsong that incorporat

Boken är en översiktlig syntes av det egyptiska pyramidbyggandet, från de första mastaborna till pyramidkonstruktionerna i Nubien.

High latitude mires are key ecosystems in the context of climate change since they store large amounts of carbon while constituting an important natural source of methane (CH4). However, while a growing number of studies have investigated methane fluxes (FCH4) at the plot- (~1 m2) and ecosystem-scale (~0.1–0.5 km2) across the boreal biome, variations of FCH4 magnitudes and drivers at the mesoscale

In a potato starch factory, potato proteins can also be obtained alongside the main product starch. After the denatured proteins have been withdrawn, the remaining potato fruit juice (PFJ) can be further concentrated through evaporation and used as a fertilizer. However, evaporators are highly energy-intensive. Instead, membrane filtration presents a more energy-efficient alternative for this proc

On-site hydrogen gas production from hydrogen-rich liquids offers a clean alternative to fossil fuels for combustion that is readily implemented in existing energy infrastructure. A heterogenized (POCOP)-Ir pincer catalyst can be operated at higher temperatures for higher turnover frequency, but the reaction pathway of the reported complex has not been well understood. Here, we report intermediary

Nutrients are the lifeblood of aquatic ecosystems, but not all nutrients are equally accessible to the organisms that depend on them. While traditional monitoring often tracks total or inorganic concentrations of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, these measures do not reflect what microbial communities can actually use. This thesis explores that disconnect by investigating the bioavailability of k

The aim of this chapter is to analyse and describe how teachers’ use of theoretical conjectures in instruction during a Learning Study (LeaS) process affected high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) students’ learning outcomes when following the national curriculum. Participants were students in grades 7 to 9 (n = 11) and their teachers (n = 5). The 11 adolescents (4 females and 7 males)

Serving Aristocracy is the history of social negotiation and mobility in an early modern knowledge community, centred on the aristocratic De la Gardie family and their sphere of manors and estates in seventeenth-century Sweden. Focusing on underprivileged women and men and the knowledge community that shaped their interactions, social negotiations, and mobility, this book documents ordinary people

I denna bok återpublicerar jag sex artiklar om den moderna skönlitterära svenska prosan. Två av artiklarna ger fördjupade analyser av Kerstin Ekmans romaninledningar i Urminnes tecken (2000) respektive Skraplotter (2003). En handlar om kvantitativ metod som redskap vid stilanalys. Övriga artiklar behandlar den skönlitterära prosan som språkligt material och tar upp tempusbruk, interpunktion och or

BackgroundCerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is one of the most important causes of cognitive decline. Only a few previous studies have evaluated lung function measures in relation to brain neuropathological changes, and even less studies on specific lesions and areas that could shed light on mechanisms of CSVD.ObjectiveThe aim was to study the association between lung function and CSVD in the g

AimsAdipose tissue distribution, metabolism, and expansion capacity exhibit notable sex- and depot-specific differences. Herein, we monitored adipocyte traits related to insulin responsiveness and glucose transport during adipose expansion in visceral and subcutaneous fat from male and female mice.Material and methodsAdipocytes were isolated from perigonadal and inguinal adipose tissue of chow-fed
