I argue that given a plausible reading of John Williams’s Stoner (2012 [1965]) the novel throws light on the demands and costs of pursuing a strategy for self-realisation along Platonic lines which seeks unification through the adoption of a single exclusive end in a manner that emulates the Socratic maieutic teacher. The novel does not explicitly argue either for or against such a strategy but ra
Despite a wealth of studies on effects of switch locations in code-switching (CS), we know relatively little about how structural factors such as switch location and extralinguistic factors such as directionality preferences may jointly modulate CS (cf., Stell & Yapko, 2015). Previous findings in the nominal domain suggest that within-constituent switching (within the noun phrase) may be easie
Brief account of the history of Filmform foundation, that began as a club for cinephiles and amateur filmmakers and now is a nationwide distribution agency and archive for experimental film and video art.
För att hantera samhällets globala och mest komplexa utmaningar krävs ofta en nära samverkan mellan forskning och samhälle, ibland även kallat ett akademiskt engagemang. Frågan är vilka former denna samverkan ska ta, om forskningen även ska nå fram till politiska beslutsfattare. Detta kapitel har redogjort för hur samverkan mellan den statliga kommittén Tillitsdelegationen och akademin organiserad
Was bedeutet es, eine iranische Komponistin zu sein? Anahita Abbasi, Niloufar Nourbakhsh, und Aida Shirazi wurden alle zwischen 1985 und 1992 geboren, leben heute in den USA und gehören zu den ersten Frauen aus dem Iran, die sich trotz vieler Hindernisse im Geburtsland und auf internationaler Ebene – etwa den strengen Sanktionen und Trumps Travel Ban – eine erfolgreiche Karriere als Komponistinnen
INTRODUCTION: To investigate the effect of an exercise prescription and a 1-year supervised exercise intervention, and the modifying effect of the family history of type 2 diabetes (FH), on long-term cardiometabolic health.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: For this prospective randomized trial, we recruited non-diabetic participants with poor fitness (n=1072, 30-70 years). Participants were randomly as
Background: Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations are common and frequently affecting young adults injured during sports. The Rockwood classification system is used to grade the dislocations according to the extent of injury to the soft tissues stabilizing the joint. Rockwood type 1 and 2 are not proper dislocations but partial ligamentous injuries without complete ACJ separation and regarded
Several physicians have been nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature, but so far none of them have received it. Because physicians as women and men of letters have been a major topic of feuilletons, seminars and books for many years, questions arise to what extent medicine was a topic in the proposals for the Nobel Prize and in the Nobel jury evaluations: how were the nominees enacted (or not)Several physicians have been nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature, but so far none of them have received it.

This research examines whether the items of some of the most well-established five-factor inventories refer to competence. Results reveal that both experts and laymen can distinguish between items that refer to how competently a behavior is performed and items that do not (Study 1). Responses to items that refer to competence create a higher-order factor in the personality inventories (Study 2), a
The interest in metal halide perovskites has grown as impressive results have been shown in solar cells, light emitting devices, and scintillators, but this class of materials have a complex crystal structure that is only partially understood. In particular, the dynamics of the nanoscale ferroelastic domains in metal halide perovskites remains difficult to study. An ideal in situ imaging method fo
This article’s aim is to investigate the creative use of parody and sense-/nonsense-making visible in the Swedish football scene by looking into football chants through the lens of parody. The three examples selected (a song, a chant, and a music video) give a glimpse of possible folkloristic investigations in that context, as possibilities to work on varied and extensive material are profound. Th
Global handel är ett försummat område i debatten om Antropocen, men spelar en implicit roll i många av dess definitioner. Handelns roll i att förskjuta miljöbelastning över Jorden skiljer sig väsentligt mellan det 'Columbianska utbytet' (1492-1800), den Industriella Revolutionen (~1800-1950), och den Stora Accelerationen (efter 1950). Vår systematiska översikt över forskningsläget visar emellertidGlobal trade is a neglected topic in debates on the Anthropocene, but plays an implicit role in several suggested definitions of it. Trade’s role in shifting environmental burdens around the globe differed substantially between the Columbian Exchange (1492−1800), the Industrial Revolution (~1800−1950) and the Great Acceleration (post-1950). However, this systematic state-of-the-art review shows th
