The thesis studies the notion of unity in early writings of Chiara Lubich (1920–2008) from a relational perspective through the theoretical lens of self-emptying (kenosis). The notion of unity is central to the spirituality of unity that constitutes the spiritual foundation of the Focolare Movement. By situating the writings of Lubich studied for this thesis in their historical context (1939–1962)
The electrification of the transportation sector is a central strategy for decarbonization, yet it raises concerns about the capacity of existing electric power grids to meet increasing demand. This thesis investigates the interaction between large-scale electrified vehicle fleets and the electric power system under the assumption of full transport electrification. The focus is on assessing the re
A Backyard of AffectionsPerformance presented as part of 25% seminar of the artistic research project On Ancestrality and Regeneration: Performing Decolonial JourneysThe performance covers two seminal aspects of my life: stories of acceptance, dealing with the loving relationship I developed with my maternal grandmother Voinha; and stories of intolerance, where I delve into my rigid and loveless
In the summer of 2022, Iury started an exchange of handwritten letters with her then supervisor Adriana Schneider Alcure and with PhD candidate Ian Calvet, both artist researchers basedat the Theatre Department of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The written letters were an attempt to connect personal, socio-political and artistic experiences and scholarship produced in the Global
Hägnader har sedan medeltiden varit oumbärliga för hur svenska byar organiserade sin gemensamma betesdrift. Därför har såväl hägnaden som det rättsliga ramverk som strukturerade upp när, var och hur hägnader skulle uppföras, lagen om stängselskyldighet, tillskrivits stor betydelse för bykollektivet i svensk historia. Under 1700- och 1800-talen uppstod dock reformer avsedda att bryta upp detta bykoThe Closed Countryside: The Prescriptive Duty to Fence and the Organisation of Agriculture in Sweden during the 18th and 19th CenturiesThis thesis explores the relationship between fences as enforcing tools and ideas of private property in Sweden during the 18th and 19th centuries. It does this by looking mainly at parliamentary debates about the law on how to manage fences and the peace of the fi
During an ethnographic fieldwork trip conducted in June 2025 in Brazil between in two cities 4000 kilometers apart, Rio de Janeiro, my hometown, and Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, I conducted interviews with the eldest generation of my aunts and uncles in order to continue the investigation I have been engaged in during my doctoral studies on ancestry, migration and the ever-present eff
In the Hebrew Bible and related literature, the Jerusalem temple(s) served as the dwelling place of the deity and a focal point for human-divine relations and ritual life. Ancient Jewish literature documents the temple’s sacred architecture, rituals, and social practices in great detail, providing a foundation for Jewish engagement with temple aesthetics over millennia. Today, a diverse and growi
Premise: Flower color, a key trait influencing plant–pollinator interactions, may be influenced by abiotic factors such as soil. We investigated association between pollinators, soil characteristics, and flower color variations in Digitalis purpurea across native populations in Sweden and introduced populations in Bolivia. Methods: We measured floral traits, reflectance of petals and nectar-guide
Here we present the integrated design, high-fidelity simulation, and virtual emissioncertification of a medium-range aero-engine combustor developed within the EU-funded MYTHOS project. The objective is to establish a physics-based framework capable of predicting combustor behavior for both conventional fuels and emerging Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). Starting from a 0D thermodynamic cycle, a
Unsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) may be due to the spread of chemical or biological compounds from building into the indoor air. One way to avoid the problem is to attach an emissions barrier indoors onto the surfaces from which the emissions are being spread (floor, walls, ceiling). Here we report on the use of the surface emissions trap (cTrap), an emissions barrier developed at Lund Univ
Background: Policy advocacy (PA) in European healthcare has a strong tradition promoting evidence-based policies. Key organisations, including the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, the WHO’s Evidence-Informed Policy Network, and the OECD play pivotal roles in integrating research into policymaking. Objectives: To assess the involvement of European Family Medicine (FM) Associatio
Background Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is associated with a poor prognosis but is difficult to diagnose non-invasively. In a recent paper, ST-segment depression on exercise-ECG was found to have a very high positive predictive value (PPV) for CMD in a highly selected group of patients. Objectives In the present study of chest pain patients, we used myocardial perfusion single photon e
Småföretag med färre än 50 anställda är dominerande i både svenskt och många andra länders näringsliv. En delgrupp bland småföretag är mikroföretag med färre än 10 anställda. Syftet med denna rapport är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur arbetsmiljöarbetet upplevs och genom förs i småföretag, samt vilka hinder och möjligheter som kan förekomma i dessa företag i relation till arbetsmiljöarbetet.
Background and purpose: Molecularly targeted cancer therapies challenge conventional health economic evaluation frameworks that are structured around tumour-specific indications, comparators, and trial designs. Existing models often rely on pooled estimates from heterogeneous early-phase evidence or single-indication analyses, creating uncertainty for reimbursement decision-makers. We propose a co
Despite their geological significance, the thermochemical processes leading to the formation of early carbonate cements remain elusive. To bridge this knowledge gap, we carried out here laboratory-simulated diagenesis on aragonite ooids. They were placed in autoclaves, filled with distilled water, and subjected to varying temperatures and durations. Our results focus on the transformation from ara
This chapter interrogates the widespread belief that individual purchasing choices are the main force behind sustainability transitions. This myth rests on three assumptions: that consumers drive markets while businesses and governments merely react, that individuals are defined primarily as buyers and that deliberate consumer decisions can alone create sustainable demand. The chapter shows how th
