Sustainable meetings – communicating to enhance the industry’s resilience

There are many definitions of resilience, but in general it refers to the ability of a system, which may be a community, society, or economic system that are exposed to extreme disturbances, persistent stress, or hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from effects of the situation in a timely and efficient manner (PreventionWeb n.d.;). Sustainability is focused on

Imaginations of the North and the South in Esaias Tegnér's Poetry

The contrast between the North and the South was a recurrent toposin Romantic literature, and in Scandinavia it played a crucial role in theRomantic writers’ search for a national cultural identity. This articledeals with the meaning and function of this imagery in some of EsaiasTegnér’s most famous poems. Being present already in his patrioticand partly Classicist poem ‘Svea’ (1811), Tegnér devel

Interventions aimed to increase average 24-hour systolic blood pressure reduce blood pressure drops in patients with reflex syncope and orthostatic intolerance

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) drops recorded by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) identify patients with susceptibility to reflex syncope and orthostatic intolerance. We tested the hypothesis that treatments aimed to increase BP (reassurance, education & life-style measures plus pharmacological strategies) can reduce SBP drops.METHODS: Multicentre, o

On mathematics and physics teaching in upper-secondary school

This article reports on physics teaching in upper-secondary school with a focus on communication and relations made between mathematics, theoretical models in physics, and reality.Video data from four physics classrooms in three different teaching contexts, i.e., lessons, problemsolving, and lab work, have been analysed by combining two theoretical frameworks: the TernaryFramework and Joint Action

Pre-service teachers’ general and specific arguments in real number contexts

A study of pre-service primary school teachers’ content knowledge regarding real numbers related to infinity,i.e., division by zero and denseness of the real number line, was conducted at a Swedish university. Data werecollected twice during the respondents’ teacher education using questionnaires and interviews on bothoccasions. The data were analysed in terms of traces of concept images, focusing

Mathematics in physics classrooms: a case study on mathematical reasoning in relation to the notion of specific heat capacity.

This study is part of a larger study of mathematics in physics teaching at upper secondary school. In this paper we focus on the use of mathematics in relation to the teaching of specific heat capacity of water. We report from two physics lessons with first-year students (lecture, problem solving, and labwork). One observation is the frequent technical use of mathematics during the lessons, which

Effects of patient gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status on psychiatric assessments: A vignette-based experimental study

ObjectiveTo investigate whether information about the gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status of the patient affects psychiatric assessments in a sample of practicing clinicians in Swedish adult psychiatry.MethodThe study used an experimental design in which vignettes describing patients were identical except for information regarding their gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The outc

Rethinking John and "the Synagogue" in Light of Expulsion from Public Assemblies in Antiquity

Since the immensely influential work of J. Louis Martyn, many Johannine scholars have interpreted John’s ἀποσυνάγωγος passages (9:22, 12:42, 16:2) as reflective of the gospel’s outsider position in relation to Jewishness. In Martyn’s model, as well as in the model of his contemporary Raymond E. Brown, “the synagogue” functioned as synecdoche for “Judaism,” leading both scholars to the conclusion t
