At this moment in time, when strong social movements and abolitionism are back on the agenda, Mathiesen’s theories can not only be revitalised, but moved forward in the everlasting unfinished fashion. Mathiesen’s work might be

We discuss the stochastic gravitational-wave spectrum from dark confinement and chiral phase transitions in the early Universe. Specifically, we look at pure Yang-Mills theory for an arbitrary number of colours as well as SU(3) with quarks in different representations. We utilise thermodynamic Lattice data and map it to effective models, such as the Polyakov-loop and the PNJL model. This allows us

Samples of Fucus serratus and Fucusvesiculosus taken in Swedish coastal waters have beenanalysed for Gd by ICP-MS. The results for one site withfrequent sampling show significantly increasing levelsduring the last 30 years, most likely a result of theincreasing use of Gd-containing contrast agents for MR-imaging at hospitals and other health care institutions.Samples taken at the west-, south- and

Gösta Werner (1908–2009) var en svensk filmpionjär som i rollen som redaktör, regissör och forskare gjorde starkt avtryck på den offentliga debatten om filmen som konstform. Genom att studera denna framträdande filmpersonlighets texter och filmer belyser avhandlingen ett antal viktiga kulturpolitiska strider inom den framväxande svenska konstfilmsinstitutionen, däribland om filmstudiets formering,

Here, “knowing nature” is a positioning practice which means that views of nature are uttered and negotiated by people in relation to another person or a group of people. The empirical material that is analyzed was created
