Increased shale gas extraction through hydraulic fracturing and its distribution through shale gas pipelines have brought about innumerable socioeconomic consequences, both tangibly and intangibly.

Registered Nurses (RNs) are in the immediate position to provide End-of-life (EOL) care and counselling for patients and families in various settings. However, EOL-care often creates feelings of uncertainty and inadequacy linked to inexperience, lack of education, and attitude. To identify and describe factors associated with RNs' attitudes towards EOL-care, and to identify whether and how these a

Denna studie syftar till att ge en historiografisk granskning av den sovjetiska forskningen om Ivan Peresvetov, en moskovitisk politisk skriftställare på 1500-talet. Peresvetovs verk kännetecknas av till synes sekulära föreställningar, något som motiverade jämförelser av honom med samtida europeiska renässanstänkare i den sovjetiska historieforskningen från 1950-talet. Legitimiteten i sådana jämföThe present study aims to give a critical revision of the Soviet historiography on Ivan Peresvetov, a 16th-century Muscovite political writer.
