BACKGROUND: Early palliative care provides better quality of life, increased prognostic awareness, and even improved survival for patients with advanced cancer but how the integrated care model achieves these outcomes has not been completely explained.METHODS: To better understand the clinical approach to early outpatient care from the clinicians' perspective, we conducted focus groups with the pa
The Book of Hours of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, V. Duke of Milan (Vienna, Austrian National Library, Codex 1856), the so-called Black Hours, is a Flemish illuminated manuscript with silver and gold ink on black coloured parchment from the third quarter of the fifteenth century. The severe deterioration of the parchment by the black colourant resulted in brittleness and numerous losses. This paper desc
This article takes a cognitive approach to natural concepts. The aim is to introduce criteria that are evaluated with respect to how they support the cognitive economy of humans when using concepts in reasoning and communicating with them. I first present the theory of conceptual spaces as a tool for expressing the criteria. Then I introduce the central idea that natural concepts correspond to con
Classes focused on biblical reception might seem to some like a “get out of jail” card in the face of ever-threatening questions about the relevance of biblical studies today. To others, such classes look like a cul-de-sac that fails to lead to either renewed interest in the Bible or meaningful pedagogical outcomes. In this short reflection, I tease out chances and challenges that come with teachi
In recent decades there has been an increasing demand in environmental sciences for harmonized climatic data at large spatial scales and long periods. Here we present easyclimate, a software package to obtain daily climatic data at high resolution (0.0083°, ∼1 km) with R. The package facilitates the downloading and processing of precipitation, minimum and maximum temperatures for Europe from 1950
Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH4) budget is important for assessing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. CH4 is the second most important human-influenced greenhouse gas in terms of climate forcing after carbon dioxide (CO2), and both emissions and atmospheric concentrations of CH4 have continued to increase since 2007 after a temporary pause. The relative importance
This article examines the expanding role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare and associated human rights concerns, including whether new EU legislation takes all relevant human rights concerns into account. AI presents promising ways to fulfil the right to health through improving diagnostics, treatments, and resource allocation, but its use also comes with risks concerning privacy, bias
Under Covid-19-pandemin anpassade Svenska kyrkan sina nattvardspraktiker på ett flertal olika sätt. Anpassningarna motiverades och problematiserades i relation till gemenskap, ofta med hänvisning till en metafor som varit avgörande i utvecklingen av Svenska kyrkans teologi under 1900-talet: "Kristi kropp". Det spekulerades också både inom forskningen och i den allmänna debatten, för huruvida dessaDuring the Covid-19-pandemic, the Church of Sweden (CofS) adjusted its eucharis-tic practices, and congregations practiced a variety of adjustments. These adjust-ments were motivated and problematized in relation to community, often refer-encing a metaphor crucial in the development of CofS theology during the 20th Century: “the body of Christ.” Scholars also speculated on how these adjustments co
Autarkic ideology and economic policies were central features of the interwar period in Europe. Despite autarky's connection to geographical concepts such as space, resources and population, its historical impact has been relatively little explored in the literature. In this article, we first present how the concept of 'autarky' conflates two etymological meanings: self-sufficiency and authoritari
Context Developing compilers and static analysis tools (“language tools”) is a difficult and time-consuming task. We have previously presented property probes, a technique to help the language tool developer build understanding of their tool. A probe presents a live view into the internals of the compiler, enabling the developer to see all the intermediate steps of a compilation or analysis rather
