The connection between policy documents (global and local) and Swedish art and music schools is discussed in this presentation from the perspective of democratic education.

Swedish art and music schools have a democratic mission based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. However, the connection between policy, practice, and the sustainable development goals is not evident. In this presentation I discuss the potential for sustainability of this extra-curricular activity.

Creativity is a defining feature of contemporary work life. Who has not taken part in brainstorming sessions, read glossy pamphlets about innovation and creativity as important cornerstones of a new business strategy, or been made aware of the importance of creative skills for one´s career? But what does it mean to be creative in and as an organization?Organizing Creativity provides an answer to t

Att Sverige en gång i tiden hade ett statligt institut för rasbiologi är väl känt, liksom att det bedrevs omfattande rasforskning i Sverige under 1900-talets första decennier. Men vad hände egentligen med den svenska rasforskningen efter 1930-talet försvann den bara?I Vetenskapen som försvann? genomför historikern Martin Ericsson den första systematiska undersökningen av svensk rasforskning från 1

The present paper proposes an ECG simulator that advances modeling of arrhythmias and noise by introducing time-varying signal characteristics. The simulator is built around a discrete-time Markov chain model for simulating atrial and ventricular arrhythmias of particular relevance when analyzing atrial fibrillation (AF). Each state is associated with statistical information on episode duration an

This study focuses on the democratic development of Ukraine. Unlike most works devoted to this topic, the Ukrainian case is considered in the context of European (and global) political processes related to the crisis of democracy. This study also emphasizes the dynamics of Ukrainian democratic development. The comparative analysis of longitudinal studies of the level of democracy in Ukraine has de

The transition to a fossil-free society in Sweden is expected to cause an increased demand for forest-derived products which may intensify existing conflicts between forest ecosystem services. This study investigated the preferences among non-industrial private forest owners for maintaining multiple forest ecosystem services and their preferences for future forest development. The findings were re

Brain size variability in primates has been attributed to various domain-specific socio-ecological factors. A recently published large-scale study of short-term memory abilities in 41 primate species [1] did not find any correlations with 11 different proxies of external cognitive demands. Here we found that the interspecific variation in test performance shows correlated evolution with total brai

“Midnight Reflections about our own Northern Ventriloquist's Skills” is articulated in the form of a podcast in a conversational style scripted by longtime collaborators composer and performer. It starts by cartographing the authors’ previous collaborative works until they approach their last project ensemble, Campo Amniótico [CA] (2021), work in which the feedback or Larsen plays a paramount role
