This is an attempt to write a popular book on mysticism, as requested by one of the largest publishers in Sweden (Natur och Kultur). Twelve mystics, representing Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, met in Andalusia (Córdoba) in order to discuss how spiritual leaders could contribute to increasing understanding between different cultures. When discussing their concept of God, view of man, mystical te

Non-state actors have been increasingly engaged in regulation, operating and setting rules outside of, and parallel to, existing legal institutions. These “alternative to legal rules” have been increasingly influential in domestic law and policy, with growing evidence of them penetrating legal, professional, as well as social orders. This thesis adopts the case of sustainability assurance to analy

Popular Abstract in Swedish Klorofyllsyntes är en viktig process i naturen. De gröna pigmenten utgör en viktig del i fotosyntesen där de absorberar och överför solenergi till fotosyntetiska reaktionscentra. Magnesium kelatas katalyserar insättandet av en magnesium (II) jon i protoporfyrin IX, vilket är det första specifika steget i klorofyllsyntesen. Magnesium kelatas består av tre proteiner, som The biosynthesis of chlorophylls is an important process in nature. The green pigments play a fundamental role in absorbing and transferring solar energy to the photosynthetic apparatus. This thesis elucidates the role and function of the enzyme magnesium chelatase, which catalyses the insertion of magnesium (II) into protoporphyrin IX and is the first committed enzyme of the chlorophyll biosynthe

The Nordic Swan is a voluntary environmental and consumer policy instrument that was launched in the Nordic countries in 1989. Ever since, the scheme has grown with increasing numbers of product groups and licence holders. Similarly, the number of ecolabelled products in the market place has also grown, resulting in a growing financial turnover. The Nordic Swan has furthermore also been joined by

Fires are complex and it is hard to derive relationships from theory in fire science. Full-scale and small-scale experiments have been used with great success in order to increase the understanding of fire chemistry and fire dynamics. But, there are shortcomings and difficulties with conducting these traditional fire experiments. In this thesis, numerical experiments are explored as a research met

A research anthology from the project "Christian Identity - the First 100 Years" (funded by Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, 2003-06). Each project participant submitted one chapter summarizing his research on various aspects of the project theme.

The purpose of this paper is to present some reflections on the relationship between the production of contemporary art and the function of national identities in our Scandinavian and Baltic countries. The main assumption of the paper is a non-essentialist one: the author assumes that national identity, like art and the context(s) of the art-world(s), is something which is produced and socially co

Siri Dahlquists (1889-1966)hymns are stamped with the theology and spirituality of the Young Church movement.A common theme is God´s calling, interpreted in the Lutheran sense, as in her adaption of Annie Coghill's hymn "Work for the night is coming". In the Swedish Hymnal 1986 she is represented with 3 hymns.

The BET surface area was found to be 10.5 (±0.5), 10.1 (±0.5) and 11.0 (±0.5) m2 g−1 for sample EL10, EL10V1 and EL10V8, respectively. No microporosity was observed for any of the samples. In all cases, a bimodal distribution of porosity was observed, indicating intraparticle macroporosity with radii about 0.1–0.2 and interparticle porosity radii around 10 μm. The TiO2 support is composed of parti
