Music education in times of trouble

EU policy documents on the effects of the global migration wave suggest that culture has an important role in promoting inclusion as well as developing and maintaining democracy. These expectations on culture places music education as a potential key factor in coping with the effects of the current refugee situation. In this paper, it is argued that European music educational systems are given a t

The role of the Arab world in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict: interview with Marwan Muasher

This interview is part of a major research project that is based on interviews and discussions with influential decision-makers, facilitators, mediators and negotiators who were involved in Arab-Israeli peace negotiations over the past three decades, as well as on archival research in Oslo, London, Washington and Jerusalem. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with more than 80 Israe

Between Religious Studies, Religious Education, Teaching Education, and Religion and Education : Relationships, Opportunities, Tensions

The aim of the present paper is to explore the interrelated and complex relationships between religionsvetenskap (Religious Studies), religionskunskap (Religious Education) and religionsdidaktik (Religion and Education). After briefly outlining the concurrent developments of Religious Studies as a university discipline and Religion and Eudcation as a non-confessional school subject, both of which

Work integrated language learning : Boundary crossing, connectivity, and L2 affordances

In contexts of transnational migration, language skills provide the key to employability and successful integration into host country societies. To enhance the learning process, and facilitate transitions into the workforce, integrated programs of L2 learning have been developed in several Nordic countries. In these undertakings, language learning, vocational education, and workplace practice are

Student engagement with digital video production

In many contexts of contemporary ELT, the L2 can be widely encountered beyond the classroom. In these settings, teachers need to maximize opportunities for meaningful participation. Digital video production (DVP) provides one such opportunity. Little, however, is known about the types of DVP common in particular contexts of ELT, the extent to which DVP functions as a motivational resource, or how

Motivation, Gender, and Possible Selves

Despite the consistency with which gender differences have been found in second language motivation, little systematic research has taken place on motivation and gender to date. Permeating self-concept development, gender impacts not only current selves but also future-oriented possible selves. In construing possible selves, females tend to emphasize interdependence, meaning they invest more in in

Willingness to communicate in a multilingual context : part one, a time-serial study of developmental dynamics

In many contexts of multilingualism, language learners can initiate communication in the target language (TL), or a contact language (such as English). Patterns of use emerging from these choices affect TL development. They also vary between individuals. Willingness to communicate (WTC) needs to be investigated in ways that capture these variations. So far, WTC has not been studied in multilingual

Willingness to communicate in a multilingual context : part two, person-context dynamics

In many contexts of multilingualism, language learners can initiate communication in the target language (TL), or a contact language (such as English). Patterns of use emerging from these choices vary between individuals and affect TL development. Willingness to communicate (WTC) needs to be investigated in ways that capture these variations. So far, WTC has not been studied in multilingual contex

Pencil beam scanning proton therapy of Hodgkin’s lymphoma in deep inspiration breath-hold: a case series report

BackgroundMost patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma are young and have a favourable prognosis, therefore it is of high importance to decrease the radiation doses to normal tissues received during radiotherapy. A combination of proton therapy and deep inspiration breath-hold technique (DIBH) can improve the sparing effect and thereby reduce the risk of late effects.Case presentationThe two first patien

Eighth Day Wonder : Jerry N. Uelsmann

American photographer Jerry N. Uelsmann (1934–2022) was a seminal figure in photo history. Uelsmann catalyzed the transfer from modernist to post-modern photography with his at the time controversial photo montages and double exposures. Decades before the birth of digital image editing programs like Photoshop, Uelsmann created photo montages by combining several negatives in the darkroom. He start

Global Hyperorgan : A platform for telematic musicking and research

The Global Hyperorgan is an intercontinental, creative space for acoustic musicking. Existing pipe organs around the world are networked for real-time, geographicallydistant performance, with performers utilizing instruments and other input devices to collaborate musically through the voices of the pipes in each location. A pilot study was carried out in January 2021, connecting two large pipe org

Phylogeny, ecology and morphology of the two corticolous lichen species Rinodina colobina and R. pityrea in the Nordic countries

Rinodina pityrea and R. colobina are reported as two distinct species with differing ecology and morphological characters. Molecular analysis of their ITS and mrSSU genes show that R. pityrea and R. colobina are two clearly separated species. Furthermore, the two species are morphologically and geographically distinct in the Nordic countries and can usually be recognized with a hand lens rather th
