In the Hebrew Bible and related literature, the Jerusalem temple(s) served as the dwelling place of the deity and a focal point for human-divine relations and ritual life. Ancient Jewish literature documents the temple’s sacred architecture, rituals, and social practices in great detail, providing a foundation for Jewish engagement with temple aesthetics over millennia. Today, a diverse and growin
Developing individualized spatial models that capture the complex dynamics of multi-electrode EEG data is essential for accurately decoding global neural activity. A widely used approach is network modeling, where electrodes are represented as nodes. A key challenge lies in defining the network edges and weights, as precise connectivity estimation is critical for enhancing neural characterization
The contact urticaria syndrome (CUS) shows four stages of severity. It is a syndrome that initially involves the skin but also the respiratory or the gastrointestinal tract once it has manifested systemically. It is potentially a life-threatening syndrome. Immediate contact skin reactions (ICSR) induced by environmental agents are clinical manifestations of contact urticaria (CoU) and protein cont
Ammonia/diesel dual-fuel compression-ignition engines are a promising solution for reducing carbon emissions in marine applications, yet their combustion efficiency and nitrogen-related emissions remain major challenges. In this study, combined numerical simulations and experiments were performed to investigate combustion characteristics and emissions in a two-stroke, low-speed ammonia/diesel dire
In their seminal hypothesis, Hamilton and Zuk proposed parasites to drive host sexual selection and predicted infections to correlate with ornamentation. Since then, a plethora of studies has explored how parasite occurrence relates to host traits, though the underlying assumption that parasite infection parameters are host-specific traits has rarely been evaluated. We used a global database (MalA
I den här vänboken till Mats Roslund, professor i historisk arkeologi, presenterar fyrtio författare studier om allt från enskilda föremål till stadsarkeologi, kyrkor och borgar. Artiklarna tar ofta sin utgångspunkt i Mats Roslunds tankar och tidigare arbeten. Bokens författare är alla forskare knutna till universitet, museer och arkeologiska företag inom och utom Norden.
This paper, inspired by the writings of Mats Roslund, discusses the use of archaeological materials that were once collected without proper excavation and documentation techniques. The case study used is the material from the moats at the castle Glimmingehus, collected when the moats were emptied in the years 1935–1937. By today’s standards, the material has major shortcomings regarding documentat
This article aims to ‘dig for the roots’ of the entanglement between secularity and the Bible in Sweden. By employing the concepts “religionization” and “biblical assemblages,” this study identifies and analyzes the interplay between perceptions of secularity and the Bible in the public debate on women’s ordination in the Church of Sweden (CofS) in the 1950s – a crucial decade in the secularizatioThis article aims to ‘dig for the roots’ of the entanglement between secularity and the Bible in Sweden.

Bygg och fastighetssektorn stod för 22,1% av Sveriges totala växthusutsläpp år 2022 där tillverkning av byggmaterial och utvinning av fossila bränslen stod för en stor del av utsläppen. Samtidigt står Sverige inför ett nationellt klimatmål att bli klimatneutrala till år 2045. Därför krävs det lösningar och åtgärder i byggprocessen för att reducera utsläppen och därefter nå målet om nettonollutsThe construction and real estate sector accounted for 22,1% of Sweden’s total greenhouse gasemissions in 2022, with the production of building materials and extraction of fossil fuels contributing for a large part of the emissions. At the same time, Sweden faces a national climate goal to become climate neutral by the year 2045. Therefore, solutions and measures are required in the constructio
I syfte att förstå queer världsskapande praktiker – skapandet av en värld som står i motsats till hegemonisk heteronormativitet – sammanställer denna avhandling ett rörigt och rörligt arkiv av autoetnografi, intervju och film och utvecklar en kulturell analys. Ett fokus på berättande praktiker tillåter mig att spåra hur berättelser formas och förmedlas inom bredare kulturella kontexter genom situeAiming to understand practices of queer worldmaking – a world counter to hegemonic heteronormativity – my thesis brings together living and moving archives of autoethnography, interviews, and films to develop a cultural analysis. A focus on storytelling allows me to trace how stories are shaped and communicated within broader cultural contexts through situated and everyday acts of telling stories.

Denna avhandling undersöker den samtida nedmonteringen av civilsamhället i Indien genom begreppet civic governmentality. Avhandlingen hävdar att krisen för det civilas handlingsutrymme inte enbart är en berättelse om förtryck, utan om hur förutsättningarna för det civila på ett genomgripande sätt förändrats och nu präglas av auktoritär nyliberal styrning. I kontrast till dominerande narrativ som fThis thesis interrogates the contemporary unmaking of civil society in India through the analytic of civic governmentality, arguing that the crisis of civic space is not merely a story of repression but of the deeper remaking of civic subjectivity under conditions of authoritarian neoliberal rule. Against narratives that cast international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) as either heroic re
Understanding the synergistic impacts of climate change and human activities on runoff and sediment dynamics is crucial for sustainable watershed management in the Yellow River Basin. This study examined hydrological variations in the Helong section of the Chinese Loess Plateau from 1980 to 2020. The Mann?Kendall and Pettitt tests were used to detect trends and abrupt changes in precipitation, run
The field of general-purpose robotics has recently embraced powerful probabilistic diffusion-based models to learn the complex embodiment behaviours. However, existing models often come with significant trade-offs, namely high computational costs for inference and a fundamental inability to quantify output uncertainty. We introduce Normalizing Flows Policy (NF-P), a conditional normalizing flow-ba
Among historians and archaeologists, the medieval towns of Roskilde and Lund have been perceived as almost twin towns. Both were founded in the late 10th century, with bishop’s seats established in the 11th century. Both quickly rose to become the most politically, economically, and culturally important ecclesiastical centres in southern Scandinavia, with similar urban landscapes dominated by nume
Handelns omställning mot mer cirkulära affärsmodeller lyfts ofta fram som en central del i utvecklingen mot en mer hållbar ekonomi. Samtidigt visar praktiken att cirkulär handel innebär betydande utmaningar, inte minst för handelns logistik och operativa strukturer.Denna rapport är resultatet av ett tvåårigt forskningsprojekt som syftar till att öka förståelsen för hur logistiknätverk behöver utfo
The reliable integration of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) into safety-critical settings requires guarantees that extend beyond empirical accuracy. Despite strong prediction performance, DNNs remain vulnerable to adversarial perturbations, information leakage, and disparities across different populations. Addressing these limitations demands scalable methods for formally analyzing network behavior un
