The aim of this essay is to understand the War on Terror, specifically Obama’s drone war and the torture at Abu Ghraib, through the lens of The Second Discourse (1754) by Jean Jacque Rousseau. In the process I shed new light on Rousseau’s work. Throughout the text, I argue that the War on Terror is characterised by temporal ambiguities and, furthermore, that these ambiguities can be traced to the

Drawing on technofeminist and queerfeminist theories this study examines how gender, body and emotions are made through videogames and in processes between the material and the virtual. Centering on how gender-structures limit subjects in conceptions of body and mind, I have conducted interviews with four gender-critical gamers, discussing genderidentities, emotions and experiences of video gaming
Nationalism and populism are growing phenomenon in a changing Europe. When the concept of the nation-state is questioned or challenged, the political discourses regarding national identity are changing aswell. Since the rapid change in post-communist Central-and Eastern Europe, questions regarding national identity have risen on the region’s political agenda. Nationalists and populists have taken

Despite the large scientific interest on robot learning forobject picking tasks, the research on object placingis too limited. Commonly, placing is simplistically consideredas a trivial task, but real life manipulation problems indicatethe exact opposite. A placing task can have different levels ofcomplexity, ranging from the simplest tabletop placing of anobject, to more complex cases such as loa
Today, in vitro (Latin: in glass) meat researchers strive to overhaul meat production technologies by producing meat outside animal bodies, primarily by culturing cells. In the process, meat should become healthier, more environmentally friendly and kinder to animals. In this article, I scrutinize (and problematize) this promissory discourse by examining the world that proponents envision alongsidToday, in vitro (Latin: in glass) meat researchers strive to overhaul meat production technologies by producing meat outside animal bodies, primarily by culturing cells.

Summary Objective There is limited knowledge on sick leave associated with arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) due to traumatic meniscal tear and its potential gender differences. Thus, our aim was to determine gender-specific sick leave before and after APM. Method In Skåne region, Sweden, we identified patients, aged 18–59 years diagnosed with traumatic meniscal tear without ligament injury,
What understanding of freedom does the EU freedom to conduct business protect? This article distinguishes between two understandings of freedom – freedom as non-interference and freedom as non-domination, and argues that both the text of Article 16 of the Charter and the pre-Charter case law suggest an understanding of freedom as non-domination. However, in recent case law, the Court appears to haWhat understanding of freedom does the EU freedom to conduct business protect?

This paper provides an overview of the Neurigona species found in Iran. During our studies in northern Iran four species of the genus Neurigona Róndani, 1856 have been collected, three of which for the first time in Iran: Neurigona helva Negrobov & Tsurikov, 1990, Neurigona pallida (Fallén, 1823) and Neurigona pseudolongipes Negrobov, 1987. One species, Neurigona persiana Pollet & Kazerani
Introduction: Despite the publication of clinical practice guidelines, the quality of the care process as experienced by patients with osteoarthritis (OA) appears suboptimal. Hence, this study investigates how patients with OA experience their disease and care process, highlighting potential elements that can enhance or spoil it, to optimise their quality of care. Methods: A qualitative study base
De senaste årtiondena har samhället i stort präglats av digitalisering. Så också detaljhandeln, med en växande betydelse av digitala plattformar där människor gör sina vardagsinköp via dator, till alltmer även via mobilen. Avgörande för om människor faktiskt kan genomföra sina köp i detaljhandeln är betalningar. Betalningar har liksom detaljhandeln också blivit mer digitala, med en stadig minskninThis dissertation explores how and why certain payment methods are used in retail.Payment methods have changed in their form throughout history, and rapidly so in recent decades. Surprisingly, the treatment of payment in retail research appears detached from its purpose of use; i.e. purchasing products and services.Payment has a role to play in the digitalisation of society and is part of shaping
BACKGROUND: An increasing number of monogenic conditions underlying stroke are being identified. We explored the possibilities of increasing the diagnostic yield of monogenic stroke in a population under 56 years of age. METHODS: Fifty probands ≤55 years at their first stroke episode were characterized clinically and investigated by whole genome sequencing. Probands had one or more of: (1) one or
Studies have shown positive health outcomes from shared reading (SR) for various patient groups. In this article, we explore whether this applies to doctors as well by studying the dynamics of SR sessions and a subsequent participant focus group. Four SR sessions, with one short story and one or two poems each, were held with medical interns working at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden. A reflexiv
Since 2003, Kamikatsu in Japan has established a sustainable zero-waste practice that has achieved a recycling rate exceeding 80%. By exploring how the community has shaped itself around the zero-waste concept, this paper aims to enhance our understanding of zero waste in practice from a universal design perspective. Interviews and photo documentation were used to gather data.

In this paper I propose an emancipation effect that may follow from the ‘reducing effect’ of frequency (Bybee 2006): if a reduced realization of an item gains in frequency, it will become conceptually independent from the full form. In a context of grammaticalization, I show that this is the case for the form gonna, which is becoming emancipated from its source form going to. I use corpus data of
This text focuses on the presence of calcium and phosphorus in connection with copper-alloy residue on the inside of melting crucibles from south Sweden dated to the late Bronze Age (ca. 1100 - 500 BC). The increase of Ca and P on the crucibles is not seen in general or overall but instead observed as a relative increase only on the inside were the metal was melted. The authors of this article wis
