This paper presents a novel method to access lived religion and magical practices of a Medieval congregation via sermons combined with material culture. Previously, scholars have dismissed sermons as having low ‘truth value’ due to the copying inherent in the genre. In this paper, I first examine how one Danish sermon was adapted from a German model to fit a local context. This adaptation reveals
This paper deals with the contemporary concern of business service-orientation. The paper suggests that service-oriented Business Information Systems Development (BISD) permits quality aspects, -“ilities” e.g.; maintainability and modifiability, of BISs and BISD. In addition, this paper departs from viewing a Business Information System (BIS) as services and suggests Separation of Concerns (SoC) a

Groundwater drought, as a form of hydrological drought, embodies the distinctive characteristics of the aquifer and human-induced disruptions within the hydrological system. The intricate nature of groundwater flow systems, coupled with challenges in acquiring field observations related to aquifers, poses significant challenges in quantitatively characterizing groundwater drought. The present pape
There is a need for ground-breaking technologies to boost crop yield, both grains and biomass, and their processing into economically competitive materials. Novel cereals with enhanced photosynthesis and assimilation of greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide and ozone, and tailored straw suitable for industrial manufacturing, open a new perspective for the circular economy. Here we describe the
Objectives: Depression is increasing and is a leading cause of disease burden among adolescents. Available evidence-based treatments with medication or psychotherapy have modest effects. Aerobic exercise is a hopeful alternative as an augmenter or a stand-alone treatment. Qualitative studies have shown that participants in group exercise for adolescent depression experienced improved mood and a se
This study investigates temporal relationships between vegetation growth, rainfall, and soil moisture for six sites located in sub-Saharan and southern Africa for the period 2005-2009. Specifically, seasonal components of time series of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) composites from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and hal
Interest in modelling electricity prices has, despite its relatively short history, resulted in widespread types of models that tend to be too intricate to incorporate most price characteristics. This thesis pursues a flexible approach that comprehends stylized facts of electricity prices while it still handles complexity in order to facilitate calibration and forecasting. Although time-varying tr
Inhemsk mikroalg skapar hållbarhet genom kombination av produktion och vattenrening Genom att använda snabbväxande mikroalger i avloppsvatten för produktion av biomassa har vattnet renats och det enda som tillsätts är solljus och koldioxid. Denna metod möjliggör hållbar produktion av en rad produkter, däribland biobränslen, samtidigt som samhällstjänster såsom vatten- och luftrening utförs på köpAbstract A few local microalgae was isolated and cultivated in vertical column with artificial lighting in 12 h light cycles in wastewater at the local wastewater treatment plant. The growth of the algae strains was observed and the fastest growing (Scenedesmus sp.) was subsequently cultivated outdoors under natural sunlight. pH controlled CO2 input resulted in up to twice as high biomass product
This thesis focuses on the practice of sex for compensation performed by women with transgender and asylum experiences living in Sweden. It aims to explore the complexities of sex for compensation by positioning this practice as both strategy and a tactic for obtaining income used for gender affirmation, considering that gender-affirmative healthcare is not available for asylum seekers in Sweden.
Bakgrund: I Sverige insjuknar årligen omkring 900 barn i typ 1-diabetes, en diagnos som innebär en omfattande livsomställning för hela familjen. Tidigare forskning visar att föräldrar ofta befinner sig i kris vid diagnos och har stort behov av både emotionellt och praktiskt stöd. Det är därför viktigt att belysa hur vården upplevs ur föräldrarnas perspektiv. Syfte: Att belysa föräldrars upplevels
This study presents a geographic information system–based multiple criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for mapping forest fire risk zones in the Mediterranean region of Evros, Greece, which is close to Alexandroupoli city and two national parks extremely rich in biodiversity, National Park Dadias - Soufliou - Lefkimmis and Evros Delta. A pairwise compari
With the shift towards renewable energy, the need for effective energy management grows. Renewable sources introduce variability and unpredictability, leading to volatile energy prices that expose consumers to fluctuations. To mitigate costs, energy storage and forecast models for electricity and thermal energy can be used to make optimal decisions on when to purchase energy from the grid. This th
The city of Brăila, Romania, has been undergoing a lot of changes in the last two decades, but as the city is shrinking there is a new initiative to change the current paradigm and to reinvent the city. This process starts with the creation of an urban system with the neighboring city of Galați that will attract more funds from a regional and national level. The first steps have been taken in this
Sweden is well known for having the world’s most efficient waste management system. Mainstream evaluation of the waste management system generally focuses on economics or psychology perspectives using solely quantitative methods to examine recycling outputs but not waste inputs. However, a rising movement within scholarly literature as well as public discourse points out a need to focus on prevent
Vulnerability to climate change and the capacity to adapt to it are the result of intersecting power structures, system dynamics, and social identity markers otherwise known as intersectionality; and thus, differ greatly between contexts. However, despite the stark contextual differences between small and metropolitan cities, and lower and higher income countries, the policy and study of climate c
In 2019, a national incident operation was introduced by the Swedish police to reduce gun-shootings in public space, and to achieve public safety and security. The operation - known as Operation Rimfrost - introduced a new intelligence-based method to combat crime, which involved the use of different surveillance technologies in public space. "From a social space analysis perspective of Opera
Despite available vaccines, rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis remains to be an alarming cause of under-five mortality, especially in developing countries. Research on RV has been limited by the lack of faithful in vitro models that mimic virus-host interaction and RV pathogenesis in the intestine. Most recently, adult stem cell-derived organoids have advanced the understanding of the cellular mechani
