The article analyses recent public initiatives to memorialise the establishment of India and Pakistan as postcolonial states in terms of violent partitioning rather than as a successful act of independence from British imperialism. The twin focal points of the article are the Partition Museum in Amritsar and the online 1947 Partition Archive. Both of these subscribe to and further the view that di

Through a comparative analysis of works by street artists Faile and Banksy, from both the street and the gallery, I make the point that the field of modern street art is not as homogenous as the media and the established art world often portray it. By differentiating between sub- and counter-cultural agents, I point out the span of social and ideological backgrounds within the street art culture a

This thesis contributes to the development of the proposed NNBAR experiment at theEuropean Spallation Source (ESS), which aims to search for free neutron-antineutron oscillations with unprecedented experimental sensitivity. Achieving this goal requires both an intense beam of cold neutrons and a detector capable of reconstructing the pionic final state expected from antineutron annihilation on a c

Urban meteorology, the study of atmospheric phenomena in urban areas, is vital for understanding the dynamic interactions between rapid urbanization and environmental changes. Over the past two decades (2004–2024), urban heat islands (UHIs), extreme rainfall, pollution, and temperature anomalies have intensified, adversely affecting human health, infrastructure, and ecosystems worldwide. The prese

The general theory of international trade points out that the economic growth of a country will be significantly affected by global economic fluctuation if this country shows an increased dependence on foreign countries in the economic field. After the Chinese government adopted reform and opening up policy in 1978, many exciting changes could be seen in this country. Now, although China is still

High- and low-latitude climatic processes in the North Pacific Ocean are important components of the global climate system. For example, the interplay among North Pacific atmospheric circulation, ocean circulation, and biological productivity affects atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and marine oxygen concentrations. Here we review recent research on the North Pacific paleoclimatic and paleoceanog

Third Party Funding (TPF) is presented as a tool to help fund the cost of expensive litigation. In the context of Investment Arbitration, however, TPF has instead led to the commodification of justice, and raises concerns around its assetization. Arbitration often comes at a net loss for States, and the extraordinary expenditures required my pique the interest of third party funders who wish to pr

In this paper we present and discuss some of the lessons learnt from the completed CoLabs.eu project within the so called R3L-initiative on European Networks of Learning Regions. In the project we made some concrete social experiments in order to “make the village a virtual campus”. We start this paper by making a general introduction to the research area and by giving the motivating background to

The article analyses how the Holocauast is represented among Russian nationalists, writing on web-sites.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sociala rättigheter och socialt medborgarskap är begrepp som ofta används för att beskriva den svenska välfärdsstaten. I ett internationellt perspektiv utpekas den svenska välfärdspolitiken som generell, generös och nästintill universell. Men i början av 1990-talet genomgick den svenska välfärdsstaten en djup kris. Arbetslösheten steg snabbt och sysselsättningen sjönk. Universalism, social rights and social citizenship are often considered as key concepts to describe the Swedish welfare state. However, in the beginning of the 1990s, the Swedish welfare state experienced a severe economic recession. In only a couple of years, the unemployment rate increased sharply as well as the number of social assistance recipients. These changes constitute the background for

This paper presents some preliminary empirical reflexions about rural development in North East Argentina at the light of the recent socio-economic and political changes. The processes of decentralization that have taken place in the country during the decade of 1990 illustrate the complexity of rural development strategies at local level and the necessity to create policies to take into account t

There are three works preserved from him, composed in Greek at the turn of the sixth century, and preserved in Syriac: the Life of Peter the Iberian, the Commemoration of the Death of Theodosius, and the Plerophories. This study reads the hagiographic works of John Rufus in search for the basic ideological

Drawing on results from a survey made at three local social forums held in Sweden, and interviews with activists taking part in the “co-ordination group” of one of these local forums (and to some extent interviews with Swedish local forum activists that visited the World Social Forum 2007 in Nairobi, Kenya), this paper focus on the transnational and the global dimension of activism within the glob
