This thesis examines how digital music archives can facilitate different versions of the history of recorded music. It argues that digital technologies and metadata enable coexisting historical narratives of recorded music that move across time and musical genre, and that can cross geographical and cultural space. The study sees a correlation between archival strategies and the presentation of rec

BackgroundRapid myelin water imaging (MWI) using a combined gradient and spin echo (GRASE) sequence can produce myelin specific metrics for the human brain. Spinal cord MWI could be similarly useful, but technical challenges have hindered routine application. GRASE rapid MWI was recently successfully implemented for imaging of healthy cervical spinal cord and may complement other advanced imaging

Based on multisited fieldwork in Kigali, Rwanda, Belgium, and the Netherlands following the political crisis in Burundi in 2015, we explore decisions and plans for the future among Burundians in exile. In this way, we contribute to research about future making and social reproduction in families in a transnational social field affected by crisis. Adding to the literature, we show the specific effe

African migrants have become increasingly demonised in public debate and political rhetoric. There is much speculation about the incentives and trajectories of Africans on the move, and often these speculations are implicitly or overtly geared towards discouraging and policing their movements. What is rarely understood or scrutinised however, are the intricate ways in which African migrants are ma

During the years of their colonial subjugation, the colonial subjects had gotten into themselves the seed of “inferiority complex”, which in turn made them feel that white skins are superior. This psychological trauma was so intense that they tend to run away from their own individuality by imbibing the traits of their own masters, inorder to be equal or to be accepted by the white community. This

This gait biomechanics study investigated stride length (SL), stride duration (SDN), the peak values of ground reaction forces (GRFspeak), required coefficient of friction (RCOFpeak), leg joints’ angles (anglepeak), angular velocity (angvelx.peak), angular acceleration (angaccx.peak), minimum angle (anglemin.) of the foot, and muscles’ electromyography (EMG) during the stance phase (SP) of the dom

IntroductionMild parkinsonian signs (MPS) have been characterized by several definitions, using the motor part of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). We aimed to investigate the prevalence of MPS and their association with functional level and comorbidities in the oldest old.MethodCommunity-dwelling older adults (n = 559, median age 85, range 80–102 years) were examined regarding

Detta kapitel har som utgångspunkt den historiska relationen mellan Alfred Nobel och Karlskoga, då kommunen nu mer än 100 år efter Alfred Nobels död försöker bygga upp platsvarumärket ”Alfred Nobels Karlskoga” i syfte att generera regional tillväxt och utveckling. Att använda sig av en känd person från bygden i syfte att marknadsföra en plats är inte ovanligt. Liknande exempel kan hämtas från exem

As all life on this planet evolves around water, it is important for our bodies to be able to regulate it. This may be done passively, but just like with water in the ocean, if we were to rely solely on passive transport (such as evaporation), the flow of water would be too slow for biological functions to uphold the homeostasis that is so important for us to survive. All organisms have thus devel

This Introduction to the special issue develops a theoretical argument around the interrelations of space and time in sites of confinement by exploring the relationships between ghettos, camps, places of detention, prisons and the like with a focus on those people who are confined, encamped, imprisoned, detained, stuck, or forcibly removed and who are doing their utmost to cope or escape. We explo

An important camp within the emerging field of resistance studies has been characterised by a tendency to study and theorise matters of culture, language, and discourse at the expense of matter itself. For researchers interested in feminist resistance, feminist new materialism – with its focus on the entanglements of ‘natureculture’, matter, the body, sexual differ- ence, agency, and change – mighAn important camp within the emerging field of resistance studies hasbeen characterised by a tendency to study and theorise matters of culture,language, and discourse at the expense of matter itself.
