Description of N. Tom Wright's important contribution to Jesus research, focusing on his methodology.

Recurrent disease after operation for colorectal carcinoma is a major problem for patients and for their doctors. Scientific evidence for guidelines is poor. It appears that intensive surveillance increases survival but we do not know which parameters in surveillance are important for this result.

Railway tracks are complex systems, made up numerous critical components such as rails, sleepers/ties, fasteners, ballast, joints, crossings, switches, that require regular monitoring in order to ensure track safety and optimize track efficiency. Many large railways make use of expensive Track Geometry Cars in order to measure railway asset condition through the measurement of rail geometry (gauge

Background: Amplification of 1q (amp(1q); ≥4 1q copies) has repeatedly been reported to predict a worse outcome in multiple myeloma (MM), whereas the impact of gain of 1q (gain(1q); three 1q copies) is less clear. Methods: We investigated survival of MM in relation to amp(1q) and gain(1q) by retrospectively analysing 346 consecutively newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients. Of these, 62 (18%) had amp(

This a contribution to the cultural semiotics of African cultural encounters seen through the eyes of Swedish naturalists at the end of the eighteenth century. European travellers faced severe problems in understanding the alien African cultures they encountered; they even had difficulty understanding the other culture as a culture. They were not just other cultures that they could relate to, but

This article analyzes approximately two thousand political motions submitted to the Swedish Parliament between 2010 and 2022, aiming to examine whether and how an increased politicization of religion can be identified and its role in shaping political constructions of national identity. The study reveals that religion has become a more controversial issue in political motions during the examined p

Today, simulation of springback has still not reached enough accuracy for acceptance as a production tool in the automotive industry. Further investigations need to be done in order to understand how to improve the results in an efficient way. In order to investigate which parameters that are important for the accuracy in a springback simulation, a parameter study of a U-shaped rail was performed.

This paper examines the how the radio program OBS! (or Kulturkvarten) operates as a public arena of knowledge from 1969 to 1972 – i.e, how it offers possibilities and sets limits for certain kinds of knowledge circulation. Drawing from theoretical discussions about “public circulation of knowledge”, the aim is to characterize OBS! and its role in the public sphere during the examined years. OBS! i

On the night of November 13, 2015, after the attacks perpetrated by the so-called Islamic State against France in Paris and Saint-Denis, President François Hollande decreed the state of emergency. This state of emergency is a state of exception which restricts certain civil liberties such as the freedom of assembly, as several NGOs and UN rapporteurs denounced. Since the September 11 attacks, seve

The aim of this study is to unveil and present different notions of ideals of motherhood in Denmark during the first half of the 20th century which appear in medical guidelines for parents and parents to be, emphasizing on the way motherhood has been idealized and regulated and how power has been exerted over mothers and women’s lives and bodies. The study takes a look at earlier existing ideas ab

This thesis examines the nature of the capitalist mode of production and begins with the contention that it necessarily produces unjust outcomes do to its economic mandates and corresponding organization of social relationships. More specifically, this thesis will investigate the processes through which the capitalistic mode of production reproduces itself. An understanding of these processes allo

The aim of this degree essay is to analyze the concepts of orders of creation and orders of preservation in the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945). I have focused this study on two of Bonhoeffer’s works, namely Creation and Fall (1933) and Ethics (1943). Through my questions I explore the continuities and tensions of Bonhoeffer’s theology over time and in relation to his contemporaries an

Virtual communities, including communities dedicated to consumption practices, were named one of the rising modern trends. With the technological development, nowadays, people do not need actual locations to meet for being friends because multiple blooming social networks allow people to stay connected 24/7 no matter where they are in this world. This technological development has many positive ef
