Transforming Church Strategies in a Changing Social Landscape : Sunday School Statistics from a Swedish Diocese, 1920–1990

This article offers a reconsideration of religious mobilisation in the inter- and post-war periods. It focuses on how the Church of Sweden gradually altered its catechetical activities aimed at children to meet changing needs. Built on a range of statistical sources, this article calls for a reconsideration of the ways in which larger Protestant denominations adjusted to meet declining religious pThis article offers a reconsideration of religious mobilisation in the inter- and postwar periods.

Promoting individualism under the guise of uniformity : A bishop's instructions in late eighteenth-century Sweden

The ways in which a bureaucratic model of oversight could be turned into a vehicle of individualizing religious practices in late-eighteenth-century Sweden is the central concern of this chapter. It focuses on how bureaucratic measures could be used to implement enlightened reform, thereby offering a different perspective on ‘pastoral Enlightenment’ in the rural European North. By examining how Ol

Religious Enlightenment in the eighteenth-century Nordic countries : an introduction

This chapter argues for the continued importance of studying the intertwining of Enlightenment and confessional culture in order to increase our understanding of how the Enlightenment took shape in the Nordic countries during the long eighteenth century. Proceeding from a careful evaluation of current scholarship, it provides an overview of political, cultural and socio-economic tendencies in the

A study of the stereochemistry and electronic transitions of cyclic and acyclic thioamides by crystallography, spectroscopy and computational methods

Popular Abstract in Swedish En studie av konformationer och elektronövergångar i ett antal rodaniner, ett tiourinämne och ett par ditiokarbamater m.h.a. kristallografi, spectroskopi och datatekniska beräkningsmetoder.Analysis of conformations and electron transitions of 3-(alkyl or aralkyl)-5-(methyl or phenyl)rhodanines with analogues and N,N'-bis[(S)-1-phenylethyl]-thiourea have been performed by X-ray crystallography, 1H NMR, molecular mechanics, ultraviolet spectroscopy and for the chiral rhodanines, enantiomer chromatography and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The magnitude of rotational barriers has bee

Genomic Diversity and Evolution of Parasitism in Nematode-trapping Fungi

Nematode-trapping fungi are soil-living organisms that have the ability to form infection structures, traps to capture nematodes. Many nematode species are parasites on plants and animals, which have resulted in an interest to use the nematode-trapping fungi as biological control agents. In order to understand more about the genomic diversity and evolution of parasitism among these fungi, several

Elemental Analysis on Freeze-Dried Sections of Human Skin: Studies by Electron Microprobe and Particle Induced X-Ray Emission Analysis

The possibility of using the proton microprobe (PMP) in the elemental analysis of dermatological material, under conditions where the spatial resolution can be restricted to a few micrometers, was demonstrated. Comparison with the electron microprobe (EMP) technique using duplicate sections from the same human skin biopsies revealed that the PMP and EMP techniques are complementary and yield close

Atmospheric transport of persistent organic pollutants to aquatic ecosystems

The load of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is considered high in the Baltic ecosystem. The Baltic Sea spans over 12 latitudes and the regional differences in climate affect the behavior of POPs. Therefore spatial and temporal variability of the concentrations of POPs in air and precipitation within this area has been investgated at 16 (mostly rural) stations around the Baltic Sea between 199

The effect of moisture content of water trapped in wood joints

To predict the service life of a structure, a model where the exposure of a structure is compared to its resistance can be used. Which exposure and resistance parameters that are relevant depend on which materials the structure consist of. This approach, with an exposure and a resistance parameter, is similar to the one used in structural engineering where a load (exposure) is compared to the bear

Investigation of the vibration transmission through a lightweight junction with elastic layer using the finite element method

When the Swedish construction code in 1994 allowed wooden multi-storey buildings, this type of lightweight structures became popular due to low cost and ease of construction. A drawback in those buildings is disturbing vibrations and noise propagating in the construction, especially through the junctions - for example between floor and wall. These structures should not just meet the demands of str

Use Of Case Studies To Determine Technical Deficiencies With Respect To Fire Spread In School Buildings

Almost every day between one and two school fires occur in Sweden. In most cases arson is the cause of the fire. The losses for these arson fires are considerable. A multidisciplinary research project has been launched in Sweden with the long-term goal to reduce these arson trends. As a part of this project a smaller project has been conducted where cases studies of arson fires in schools have bee

Religiösa organisationer och civilsamhället

I kapitlet beskriver vi religionens plats i dagens svenska samhälle genom ett civilsamhällsperspektiv. Vi börjar med att visa hur civilsamhället beskrivits i förhållande till religion i Sverige samt i internationell forskning. Detta för att ge en bakgrund för att presentera och diskutera olika förklaringar till vad som avses med termen civilsamhälle. Vi tittar även på vad den offentliga administra
