Two of Cassian’s works, the Institutiones and the Collationes, are preserved in both Latin and Greek, and almost all scholars have taken it for granted that he wrote exclusively in Latin. This paper examines two passages from Cassian’s writings, one from the Institutiones (which has a parallel in an Evagrian florilegium) and the other from the Collationes. Arguing against the prevailing view, the

In this essay, I make a landscape archaeological analysis of the parishes of Reslöv and Östra Karaby. By studying both the visible and the hidden cultural landscape, with a focus on the Middle Ages, I identify different structures in the landscape. The starting point is the registered monuments that are documented in the Cultural Environment Register at The Swedish National Heritage Board. By loca

It has been previously shown that an increase in the relative value of tea increases female survival rate by enhancing their economic value. By combining contemporary district-level census data with historical data on tea production, in this paper I examine whether contemporary regional variations in gender disparities across India can be traced back to the tea production induced by the British Ea

The thesis describes and analyzes individuals' experiences of reduced working hours with retained salary, as well as how this could potentially enable an improved work-life balance. It also investigates how participants experienced pros and cons with reduced working hours. The topic is relevant due to the ongoing societal debate about whether the current 40-hour workweek in Sweden shoul

This study aims to investigate, understand and explore issues related to the appropriateness of the existing fire protection solutions in historical buildings and their effectiveness in avoiding catastrophes. Therefore, recent papers, case studies, statutory documents, and guidelines are reviewed. An explanation of the rationale is provided and potential fire safety solutions for historic buildin

Tunnel evacuation is a challenge that requires a well-prepared strategy and relevant technical andorganizational measures to be successful. The article focuses on the relation between knowledge abouthuman behaviour during an evacuation process and how this knowledge is obtained throughinvestigations after fires and through well-planned experiments. Furthermore, theories are introducedthat explain

Hazel (Corylus avellana) has been abundant in the vegetation of northern and central Europe since the early Holocene and has provided food and materials for humans ever since. Here we use stable carbon isotope (δ13C) values of hazelnut shells to infer woodland openness based on the premise of the “canopy effect”. It is well established that plants growing in dense, shaded forests have lower carbon

This is a comparative study of China, Iran, Russia and Saudi Arabia, from an EU perspective. The EU imposed arms’ embargoes on China, Iran and Russia for reasons such as democratic concerns and military aggrandisement, the purpose of this study is therefor to find explanations to why the EU have not imposed arms’ embargoes on Saudi Arabia, a state who have arguably committed similar acts as the ot

In China, a large private sector has evolved alongside a still sizeable state-owned sector that is subject to government control. Several studies have found that in this mixed economy, the private sector is economically more efficient than the state-owned sector. In this paper, we investigate whether private firms are also more carbon efficient than state-owned firms. Using a macroeconomic panel d

The Nordic country of Sweden portrays itself as a leader in sustainable development and human rights advocacy. However, the expansion of what is portrayed as “green” mining activities in Sami territories creates cumulative pressure on traditional livelihoods like reindeer husbandry, which raises questions about the sustainability narrative. Previous research has focused on Swedish policy documents

Popular Abstract in English Proteins are smart molecules. They act in a vast variety of roles, for instance as transporters, messengers, catalysts, warriors and scaffolds. The ability of a specific protein to perform a task is closely related to its three-dimensional shape (native fold). However, not all proteins encoded in human genome have a structure; some of them are devoid of a well-defined sProtein misfolding is a frequently occurring event in living cells and without the quality control, the consequences are disasterous. In this thesis, we studied protein misfolding in vitro by employing a variety of fluorophores, to either detect the highly ordered aggregates of intrinsically disordered proteins/peptides or slight misfolding of a natively folded protein. Misfolding and concurrent

Energy poverty has been kept at bay in Sweden for the past decades owing to several beneficial circumstances. However, geopolitical pressure and an accelerating energy transition are changing the circumstances and exposing vulnerabilities to energy poverty in Sweden particularly connected to electricity price peaks. The circumstantial nature of the exposed risks for energy poverty motivates a conc
