Theatres of Powerlessness departs from Edit Kaldor’s Inventory of Powerlessness (2013-16), a multi-year theatre project in which hundreds of participants articulated their emergent knowledge about contemporary forms of powerlessness. It is aimed, among others, at student readers in an increasingly diversified educational context, who are learning to develop models of transformative, creative pract
Ölkällarkuppen i München var Hitlers första steg in i rampljuset och nazismens ödesstund. Vi reder ut historien, och uppvaktar 20-åriga Forum för Levande Historia, nu mer relevant än någonsin.I november 1923 stormade Adolf Hitler och hans tyska nationalsocialistiska arbetarparti in på ölkällaren Bürgerbraukeller med pistolen i högsta hugg. Planen, att gripa makten i staden München och sedan marsch
Parallel Life, a theatrical augmentation of city life, a trip through the streets using your phone and your imagination. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be someone else? To wake up in their skin, to see the world through their eyes? To have lived their childhood, to have experienced sorrows and joys as they have, to dream as they do? Try to imagine being another person and accident
Reflection on the processes, phases and outcomes of the research project The Many and the Form, which explored in different contexts how lived experiences can be articulated in and through live performance. The text brings together the various strands within the research and some of the underlying connections between the different components. It aims to communicate about practices and provide insi
Cell replacement therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD) based on transplantation of pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons are now entering clinical trials. Here, we present quality, safety, and efficacy data supporting the first-in-human STEM-PD phase I/IIa clinical trial along with the trial design. The STEM-PD product was manufactured under GMP and quality tested in vitro and in viv
Why theatre? We can’t ask ourselves a more basic question than that and at the same time no question is harder to give an answer to. Why do we make theatre? What purpose does it have or does it even need to have a purpose? Usually, the answers are given by the making of theatre itself – but suddenly we find ourselves in a situation that has shaken up our ways of searching for the answers.
As a research field, social movement and political project, degrowth is a multi-faceted phenomenon. It brings together a range of practices including alternative forms of living and initiatives of various kinds in civil society, business and the state. Yet no comprehensive theory of degrowth transformations has so far been developed. Deep transformations fills this gap. It develops a theory of deg
The chapter identifies several themes that are potentially significant in future research on Gen Z and sustainable tourism consumption. The need for cross-generational and cross-cultural research is identified, especially in a longitudinal context. It is also noted that the majority of research is undertaken in the developed world and the authors highlight the need for research in less developed c
Tracing the events surrounding the 1909 general strike (storstrejken), this article explores the role of a network of People’s Parks and People’s Houses, since the early 1890s established by the labour movement to counterweight the difficulties of ensuring stable meeting spaces. As regional and local authorities during the 1909 strike banned striking workers to access many public spaces and condit
Bimetallic nanoparticles have gained significant attention in catalysis as potential alternatives to expensive catalysts based on noble metals. In this study, we investigate the compositional tuning of Pd–Cu bimetallic nanoparticles using a physical synthesis method called spark ablation. By utilizing pure and alloyed electrodes in different configurations, we demonstrate the ability to tailor the
How are Black female candidates’ race and gender represented in newspaper coverage of electoral campaigns? Are intersectional stereotypes of Black women in general reflected in representations of Black women in elite politics? This study employs an open ended qualitative content analysis of coverage of the 2012 general election to consider the way in which racial and gendered references frame the
This chapter introduces the British MPs’ expenses scandal: its origins, evolution and consequences. We argue that despite some early predictions, the scandal was limited in its impact: the purported ‘revolution’ never occurred. We briefly review the comparative literature on the political impact of scandal, which illustrates why the effects of scandals are usually limited and reasons why voters ma
This paper draws together reflections, approaches and practical lessons from 151 development programs that are, in various ways, seeking both to be gender aware and to understand and engage with power and politics. It aims to provide food for thought for donor organisations and development programs. Gender aware programming has been on the development agenda for at least a generation. Most donor o
Importance: Infection control guidelines have historically classified high-flow nasal oxygen and noninvasive ventilation as aerosol-generating procedures that require specialized infection prevention and control measures. Objective: To evaluate the current evidence that high-flow nasal oxygen and noninvasive ventilation are associated with pathogen-laden aerosols and aerosol generation. Data Sourc
Background: The understanding of inhaled particle respiratory tract deposition is a key link to understand the health effects of particles or the efficiency for medical drug delivery via the lung. However, there are few experimental data on particle respiratory tract deposition, and the existing data deviates considerably when comparing results for particles > 1 μm. Methods: We designed an experim
Introduction Firefighters have increased risk of chronic respiratory disease. Standard clinical techniques used in medical checkups may not detect the earliest microstructural changes in peripheral airways. A new technique called Airspace Dimension Assessment (AiDA) has been shown to enable early detection of emphysema in COPD. This method may be useful in the occupational setting to detect early
