Resistance, Materiality and the Spectre of Cartesianism : A Contribution to the Critique of Feminist New Materialism

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.

Ancient Equality Against Modern Democracy : Resources of Critique in Hannah Arendt and Ellen Meiksins Wood

Increasing discontent with the current status of democracy has prompted a renewed interest in Athenian democracy. This article contributes with the first comparative analysis of two political theoreticians – Hannah Arendt and Ellen Meiksins Wood – whose reactivations of ancient political experiences significantly predate recent trends. Despite the fact that Arendt levelled fierce critique against

Structure, Temporality, and Theories of Revolution. Reading Alberto Melucci in Revolutionary Saint Domingue, 1791–1804

This article addresses the debate on structure, agency, and process in contemporary revolution theory, drawing on social movement theory and using the Haitian Revolution as an illustrative case. The article seeks to make three main contributions.

Comparison of multi echo T2 relaxation and steady state approaches for myelin imaging in the central nervous system

The traditional approach for measuring myelin-associated water with quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses multi-echo T2 relaxation data to calculate the myelin water fraction (MWF). A fundamentally different approach, abbreviated “mcDESPOT”, uses a more efficient steady-state acquisition to generate an equivalent metric (fM). Although previous studies have demonstrated inherent instab

The Memory of Meanings : The Images of Jewish-Catholic Relations in Interwar Lublin in Oral Histories

This work explores narratives of Jewish-Catholic relations in interwar Lublin, as recalled by its Jewish and Catholic inhabitants by the end of their lives. Thus, it concerns both memory and intergroup relations and seeks to understand the attitudes towards the religious Other. The main body of sources for this qualitative study is a collection of oral histories from the Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre

Tilt-Induced Changes in RR Series Characteristics : An AV Node Simulation Study

In the ECG recordings during tilt test, changes in RR series characteristics can be observed. The purpose of the present study is to investigate to what extent these changes can be explained by changes in the atrial input and in the atrioventricular (AV) nodal characteristics induced by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Average RR series characteristics (mean, rmssd and sample entropy) and avera

Healthcare professionals' experiences and views of eHealth in pediatric care : qualitative interview study applying a theoretical framework for implementation

Objective: This study aims to investigate the perspectives and insights of health care professionals (HCPs) regarding the implementation of an eHealth intervention in pediatric health care while applying the NASSS framework to theorize and evaluate the conditions influencing the implementation of eHealth solutions.Methods: Semistructured interviews were performed with health care providers, includ

Primary and Community Care

Care of older persons in community and primary care differs substantially between European countries, but most countries pursue the concept of “ageing in place”, meaning that most older people do not live in institutions. More and more older people are living alone. Relatives still play an important role in the care of older people, but it differs substantially within Europe, and will probably rem

Evaluating the equity impact and cost-effectiveness of digital adherence technologies with differentiated care to support tuberculosis treatment adherence in Ethiopia : protocol and analysis plan for the health economics component of a cluster randomised trial

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis remains a leading infectious cause of death in resource-limited settings. Effective treatment is the cornerstone of tuberculosis control, reducing mortality, recurrence and transmission. Supporting treatment adherence through facility-based observations of medication taking can be costly to providers and patients. Digital adherence technologies (DATs) may facilitate treatm

Ventricular–arterial coupling (VAC) in a population-based cohort of middle-aged individuals: The STANISLAS cohort

Background and aimsData exploring normal values of different ventricular–arterial coupling (VAC) parameters and their association with anthropometric and cardiovascular (CV) factors are scarce. We aim to report values of two different methods of VAC assessment according to age and sex and explore their association with CV factors within a large population-based cohort of middle-aged individuals.Me

A Roof for the atrium of the House of the Greek Epigrams in Pompeii? A Three-Dimensional Critical Study

Over the last few decades, a critical revision of prior scholarship concerning Roman domestic space has led to the reappraisal of the traditional account of the atrium suggesting a possibility for this space to be ‘unroofed’. Accordingly, scholars have proposed to look for a convergence of impulses previously cultivated in isolation combining new theoretical frameworks, and a careful examination o

Hur sjuksköterskor upplever sin kompetens vid vårdmöten med transpersoner - En litteraturstudie

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor känner sig ofta oförberedda och osäkra på att vårda och bemöta HBTQIA+-personer, särskilt transpersoner. Syfte: att belysa hur sjuksköterskor upplever sin kompetens vid vårdmöten med transpersoner. Metod: Litteraturstudie med tematisk analys baserad på nio artiklar från databaserna Cinahl och PubMed. Resultat: Fyra teman identifierades; brist på kunskap, rädsla för att gör

A World of Persons

Detta är en studie i det internationella tänkandets subjekt. Människor och stater, om än ofta betraktade som varandras motsatser, delar en sak: de är det internationella tänkandets huvudsakliga subjekt. Avhandlingens argumentet är att orsaken till detta står att finna i det språk genom vilket subjektskap artikuleras, personbegreppets språk, som stipulerar vissa kriterier – i första hand rationalitThis is a study of subjecthood in international thought. Human beings and states, while often held to be opposed to one another, share this: they are international thought’s key subjects. The following chapters attempt to answer the question of why that is. The main argument advanced is that this is because of the particular language in which subjecthood is articulated, the language of personhood,

Art as entangled material practices : The Case of Late Iron Age Scandinavian Gold Foil Figures in the Making

This paper discusses Late Iron Age gold foil figures from Scandinavia. The figures can be described as tiny humanoid beings stamped on very thin gold foil. They date to c. AD 550–800, and are commonly interpreted in representationalist ways, and as being symbols. By contrast, this paper starts from the assumption that art and imagery are simultaneously material, affective and emergent. As a conseq

Self-reported quality of life before, during, and after pregnancy in women with CHD

Background:Adults with CHD are a growing patient group and childbirth is a relatively new phenomenon. EQ-5D is commonly used to measure health-related quality of life. We sought to investigate EQ-5D status before, during, and after pregnancy in women with CHD.Methods:We identified 128 pregnancies in 86 CHD women giving birth in Skåne County during 2009–2021. Repeated measures ANOVA was performed t

Masking Moments : The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia

This thesis explores bodily representations in Late Iron Age Scandinavia (400–1050 AD). Non-human bodies, such as gold foil figures, and human bodies are analysed. The work starts with an examination and deconstruction of the sex/gender categories to the effect that they are considered to be of minor value for the purposes of the thesis. Three analytical concepts – masks, miniature, and metaphor –
