This article focuses on how the European Union's (EU) mediation activities during the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine conflicts are perceived by local elites. Our analysis is based on recent interviews with decision makers in Ukraine, Israel and Palestine. Consistent with this special issue, we investigate perceptions of EU roles, strategies and effectiveness. We suggest that the EU's relation

The outcome of the British Brexit referendum sent shockwaves across Europe. It sent signals about the future of the European Union (EU), not only to the Member States but also to the surrounding world. How to characterize the EU after Brexit? We address this problematic by investigating the metaphors applied to the EU in the Russian and Ukrainian press in the first week after the referendum. We fi

We present the generalized signal detection theory (GSDT), where familiarity is described by a sparse binomial distribution of binary node activity rather than by normal distribution of familiarity. Items are presented in a distributed representation, where each node receives either noise only, or signal and noise. An old response (i.e., a ‘yes’ response) is made if at least one node receives sign

En populär-teologisk bearbetning av frågor som rör frälsning, försoning, tro, dop och pånyttfödelse ur ett klassiskt pentekostalt/baptistiskt perspektiv och med särskilt fokus på barn och barn-teologi.

The global cobalt cycle in society was modelled using an integrated systems dynamics model, WORLD6, integrating several earlier system dynamics models developed by the authors. The COBALT sub-model was used to assess the long-term sufficiency of the available extractable cobalt and address the effect of different degrees of recycling on cobalt supply. The extraction of cobalt is mostly dependent o

A model for global supply of sand, gravel and cut stone for construction based on a system dynamics model was developed for inclusion in the WORLD6 model. The Sand-Gravel-Stone model simulates production and market supply, demand and price for natural sand and gravel, sand and gravel from crushed rock and cut stone. The model uses market mechanisms where the demand is depending on population size,

We have built a system dynamics model, WORLD6, that takes into account population, energy extraction, production and need, aspects social behaviour, material and metals recycling and important links to the economy. The model is ground-truthed by comparing with actual supply per person from 1900 till 2015 and run until 2400. Primary scarcity metrics are supply per person and year and stock-in-use p

En populär-teologisk och personlig bearbetning av frågor som rör socio-politiskt engagemang och holistisk frälsning. Texten är skriven från en svensk pentekostal horisont men hämtar inspiration från såväl Niklas Hallmans musik, latinamerikansk befrielseteologi och författarens erfarenheter av afrikansk pingströrelse.

A new model; WORLD6 was developed. WORLD6 differs from the earlier system dynamics world models in several aspects. Several modules link the economy, materials, metals, energy, population and politics in a dynamic system. The present version is a result of a dismantling of the World3 model (Meadows et al., 1972, 1992, 2004) with an extension and substitution of its resource module and economy modu

En hållbar omställning av transportsystemet kan komma att kräva olika typer av bränslen, tekniker och infrastrukturförändringar, och som ett möjligt alternativ finns biodrivmedel. En potentiell resurs för biodrivmedelsproduktion i Sverige är svartlut, en ligninrik biprodukt från pappers- och massaindustrin, som kan förgasas och omvandlas till metanol. Mängden svartlut som finns tillgänglig begräns

Injury that breached the physical skin barrier increases the likelihood of infection. The wound healing process is divided into hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling. Antimicrobial peptides play a major role for the antimicrobial defense at all these stages in wound healing, but the main sources of antimicrobial peptides vary with the different stages of wound healing comi

Background: Fishing communities around Lake Victoria in sub-Saharan Africa have been characterised as a population at high risk of HIV-infection. Methods: Using data from a cohort of HIV-positive individuals aged 13–49 years, enrolled from 5 fishing communities on Lake Victoria between 2009–2011, we sought to identify factors contributing to the epidemic and to understand the underlying structure
