I Ingmar Bergmans filmer förekommer det ofta olika typer av konstnärer eller dess "likar", enligt Bergman (i form av t ex gycklare). Dessa rollfigurer belyser inte enbart konstnärliga spörsmål utan deras främsta uppgift är kanske att fungera som en slags "ställföreträdare" - eller en symbol för människan - eftersom just konstnärerna i hög omfattning tangerar mer djupa allmänmän

Yiddish language, literature, and culture often deal with Jewish ritual and practice. This is seen in the structure and vocabulary of the language itself and also through a variety of literary styles. This chapter discusses examples from Yiddish language, literature and culture and shows how they each refer to Jewish rituals and practices.

The Swedish inventor and scientist Christopher Polhem (1661-1751) has been called the Daedalus of the North. This article concerns the picture of Polhem through the ages, what has been written concerning him, and about the still surprisingly modest research on him. First gives a short introduction to Polhem. His own life story, put forward by himself, has had an immense influence on the following

The impact of the Russian war against Ukraine should have far-reaching repercussions on the teaching of International Relations (IR) and European Union (EU) studies. In this article, it is argued that Ukrainian resistance to the invasion must be part of an important shift in thinking about IR and the EU within holistic planetary politics. First, the terminologies and technologies of teaching IR an

Mycket har sagts och skrivits om polarisering men sällan med några historiska tillbakablickar. Ibland kan det nästan framstå som att polarisering är ett helt nytt fenomen.I den här boken vänder åtta idéhistoriker på perspektivet och argumenterar för att företeelsen är lätt att finna även i det förgångna. Skribenterna ger oss inblickar i polariserade situationer och konflikter som

Christopher Polhem (1661-1751), called the father of Swedish mechanics, is the most famous figure in Swedish history of technology and our nation's foremost inventor ever. Remarkably enough, a close survey in a monograph has never been written on this inventor who in many ways initiated the technical and industrial development of Sweden. In this project will Polhem for the first time get a broad a

Based on detailed 2D and 3D numerical radiation hydrodynamicscalculations of time-dependent compressible convection, we have studiedthe dynamics and thermal structure of the convective surface layers of aprototypical late-type M-dwarf at T_eff=2800 K, and log g=5.0with solar chemical composition. The thermal structure of the atmosphereis dominated by molecular absorption, the formation o

The paper examines the metaphysical ideas employed to embed Hellenistic astrology in an Indian religious and cultural context, relating them to questions of causality, determinism and moral freedom. These ideas are contrasted against the largely Thesophical adaptation of the same concepts, which in the 19th and 20th centuries formed the emerging modern astrology in Europe, and which led it to aban

In this paper we describe field investigations of leachate recirculation at a bioreactor landfill using geoelectrical imagining technique (i.e., electrical resistivity) combined with a tracer test. The use of geoelectrical imagining techniques is an established practice for environmental investigations and monitoring of various landfill processes and in recent years also the bioreactor landfill co
