The scholarly study of religious mysticism is a vast and complex area of research, embracing studies from numerous disciplines. This volume contains a variety of psychological perspectives. The majority of these focuses on mystical phenomena within Christianity, but some contributors also deal with mysticism in non-Christian traditions. As in most studies, phenomena, persons, or occurrences in the

In this paper, we review the physics of harmonic generation in gases and production of short attosecond pulses. Different methods to ensure a sufficient degree of synchronization, for example, selecting the cutoff region of the spectrum or compressing of attosecond pulses with apertures and metallic filters are presented

Introduction For the future conservation, restoration and daily maintenance the need for developing non-destructive and in-situ investigations is vital. At Lund University in Sweden an interdisciplinary research project is being held aiming at, with the help of a mobile system of remote fluorescence lidar, survey and study the facades of historic monuments, and to develop the method and its applic

Utifrån en av Brenda Brasher (1998) gjord sociologisk undersökning av två amerikanska kristna fundamentalistiska församlingar diskuterar Appelros om det, som Brasher menar, är rimligt att förstå den där förekommande exklusivt kvinnliga verksamheten som ett befriande och bemyndigande forum för kvinnlig maktutövning. I artikeln argumenteras för att denna verksamhet snarare bör förstås som ett led i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den nylatinska poeten Jacob Balde (1604 – 1668) behandlar i sin jesuitiska skoltragedi Jepthias Domarbokens berättelse om hur Jepthe på grund av sitt löfte till Gud offrar sin dotter. Genom detta tema åskådliggör Balde jesuitiska dygder som lydnad, förmåga att behärska sina lidelser samt villigheten att offra sitt liv i kampen för tron. Baldes drama är sammanflätat av The German poet Jacob Balde (1604-1668) chose a biblical human sacrifice as subject for his tragedy "Jephtias" intended to be performed at a Jesuit school. Jephthah, the judge, had to sacrifice his own daughter due to a vow given before the war against the Ammonites. Balde uses this topic to exemplify Jesuit virtues such as obedience, ability to handle one's emotions and readiness to sacrifice one

The field of control provides the principles and methods used to design physical and information systems that maintain desirable performance by sensing and automatically adapting to changes in the environment. This report spells out some of the prospects for control in the current and future technological environment, describes the role the field will play in military, commercial, and scientific a

One of the most dynamic interactions between humans and technology of our time is the development of artificial intelligence, materialized in various types of communicative robots. Thrilling questions are raised about how human-like these robots can be and how far this interaction will go. It is no exaggeration to state that speculations about the robots’ role in our lives far exceed what we know

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kampen om bytet och överlevnaden när (framtidsut)sikten försämras Livet under ytan kan anses som lugnt, men även i de lugnaste vatten lurar fisken på ett mål mat. Vi måste äta för att kunna överleva, växa och utvecklas, detta gäller även för fiskarna i våra vatten. Precis som vi använder många fiskar sig av synen när de söker sin föda, men vissa fiskar är även bra på aPredator-prey interactions are a primary structuring force in aquatic systems. A change in the predator-prey interactions may cause a change in the strength of trophic cascades and even resulting in ecosystem shifts. However, individual properties of predators and prey, as well as environmental conditions, may affect the relative strength of predator-prey interactions. In our studies we observed t
