Aims. In this paper we demonstrate how Stromgren uvby photometry can be efficiently used to: 1. identify red giant branch stars that are members in a dwarf spheroidal galaxy; 2. derive age-independent metallicities for the same stars and quantify the associated errors. Methods. Stromgren uvby photometry in a 11 x 22 arcmin field centered on the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy was obtained using the

Background: Although used extensively worldwide, the effects of general anaesthesia on the human brain remain largely elusive.

In 1997 Sweden was the third biggest exporter of popular music in the world. This astonishing fact has often been explained as being the result of the large investments in municipal music schools that took place in Sweden from 1940.

This chapter explores the Danish case of a years-long campaign to phase out the “production” of the fast-growing industrial chicken breed, Ross 308. Core differences between welfarism, new welfarism, and abolitionist positions of rights and liberation are outlined - and it is investigated how activists navigate the tensions between these approaches in practice. The case makes visible a tangled ter
