Law, Materiality & Justice

Can law still play a central role in governing human behavior even if the state law may have become less important? Whether law without the state is possible depends, of course, on how we define “law” and “state”. But it also depends on the perspective from which one approaches the legal material. From a sociology of law perspective, as will be presented in this chapter, the topic has a slightly d

Immature stages of metalmark moths from the genus Brenthia clemens (Choreutidae) : Morphology and life history notes

In this paper the immature stages of Brenthia monolychna Meyrick (Choreutidae: Brenthiinae), as well as their ultrastructure, are described and figured. This is the first description of a New World brenthiine, in addition, notes on life history for four New World species of Brenthia Clemens are provided, including mention of their host plants and parasitoids. Host plant utilization of the genus is

Larva of Abablemma (Noctuidae) with notes on algivory and lichenivory in Macrolepidoptera

The larva of Abablemma brimleyana (Dyar) (Noctuidae) is described and illustrated based on ex ova larvae reared on green algae (Protococcus viridis). A last instar Abablemma duomaculata (Barnes & Benjamin), collected from and reared on Physcia, a foliose lichen, and its lichen-encrusted cocoon, as well as a last instar Nigetia formosalis Walker ex ova reared on Protococcus, also are figured. B

Wormholes, sensory nets and hypertrophied tactile setae : the extraordinary defence strategies of Brenthia caterpillars

Metalmark moth larvae in the genus Brenthia (Lepidoptera: Choreutidae) live beneath gauzy web shelters spun over a leaf surface and chew an escape hole into the floor of their nests through which they dart when alarmed. We provide a video and data showing that these larvae, when their webs are disturbed, shoot through their wormhole to the opposite side of the leaf at extremely high speeds: the fa

Predator mimicry : Metalmark moths mimic their jumping spider predators

Cases of mimicry provide many of the nature's most convincing examples of natural selection. Here we report evidence for a case of predator mimicry in which metalmark moths in the genus Brenthia mimic jumping spiders, one of their predators. In controlled trials, Brenthia had higher survival rates than other similarly sized moths in the presence of jumping spiders and jumping spiders responded to

Larval and pupal descriptions of the neotropical choreutid genera Rhobonda Walker and Zodia Heppner (Lepidoptera: Choreutidae)

Larvae and pupae of two Neotropical choreutids, Rhobonda gaurisana Walker and Zodia scintillana (walker) (Lepidoptera: Choreutidae), are described. Photographs, drawings, and scanning electron micrographs are provided for both species, and observations on larval behavior and biology are reported. The larval head in both genera is reinterpreted as being semiprognathous. The D2 setae on A9 arise fro

The lasting impact of grandfathers : Class, occupational status, and earnings over three generations in Sweden 1815-2011

This article examines socioeconomic mobility across three generations in Sweden from 1815 and until 2011. Using longitudinal micro-level data from the Scanian Economic-Demographic Database (SEDD), we examine the transmission of socio-economic status along three different dimensions; social class (HISCLASS), occupational status (HISCAM), and earnings. We demonstrate an association between grandfath

Prospective population-based cohort study of maternal obesity as a source of error in gestational age estimation at 11–14 weeks

Introduction: An impact of maternal obesity on ultrasound dating of pregnancy at 11–14 gestational weeks is possible and was investigated. Material and methods: A prospective cohort study based on the Danish national population during a 4-year period in which we entered all mothers with singleton pregnancies who had a known last menstrual period (LMP), a recorded booking of body mass index (BMI),

Reduced occurrence of severe visual impairment after introduction of anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in wet age-related macular degeneration – a population- and register-based study from northern Sweden

Purpose: To study the occurrence of severe visual impairment (SVI) and treatment outcome at 12 months in patients treated for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by use of data from the Swedish Macula Register (SMR) and referrals to the regional low vision clinics in five northern counties. Methods: Referrals to low vision clinics during 2005, 2009 and 2013 and treatment outcome at 12 month

Childhood hospitalisation with infections and later development of ankylosing spondylitis : A national case-control study

Background: The role of environmental exposures in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) remains unclear. In particular, two types of exposures have been suspected to play a role: mechanical stress and infections. The objective of this case-control study was to determine if childhood infections are associated with later development of AS. Methods: The cases with AS were identified throug

Jesus for Zanzibar : Narratives of Pentecostal Belonging, Islam, and Nation

This study addresses the presence of religious difference in the Muslim-dominated cultural setting of Zanzibar, a context in which, in 2012, Christian minorities became targets in violent events directed against representations of the politically contested Union with Mainland Tanzania. As the attacked churches are primarily attended by people of non-island origins and the incidents were blamed on

Patients Undergoing Breast-Conserving Surgery Can Benefit from the Opportunity to Participate in Choosing Their Surgical Technique

Background: Shared decision-making is increasingly advocated in many countries. The aims of this study were to investigate whether patients receiving breast-conserving surgery at Skåne University Hospital Malmö, Sweden, perceived an offered possibility to join in the decision-making process regarding the surgical method; to identify potential determinants for not having perceived such an offer; an

Pentecostalism and the Other : Seclusion, Engagement and Spiritual Warfare

This article deals with the Pentecostal Christianity and the relation to the other by looking at theological and practical responses on how Pentecostals deal with the world that generally is seen to be infused by evil. By first looking into some broad theological themes on how negotiate the social world in which Pentecostals reside, the theological base will be discussed against empirical material
