In Höje-Nilsâ garden : a historical analysis about design and content and thoughts about con-servation
NilsgĂ„rden, och det som en gĂ„ng var Höje-Nils trĂ€dgĂ„rd, Ă€r belĂ€gen i byn Södra IngelstrĂ€de pĂ„ Kullahalvön i nordvĂ€stra SkĂ„ne. Den uppfördes Ă„r 1868 av Nils Nilsson, Ă€ven kallad Höje-Nils. Det namnet fick han pĂ„ grund av det höga boningshuset som han byggde. GĂ„rden har fram till idag Ă€gts av samma slĂ€kt, familjen NilsgĂ„rd, vilka har en önskan om att fĂ„ kunskap och insikt i trĂ€dgĂ„rdens historia. MĂ„let med detta arbete har varit att undersöka hur trĂ€dgĂ„rden pĂ„ NilsgĂ„rden har sett ut gĂ€llande utformning och innehĂ„ll frĂ„n Ă„r 1868 fram till idag. Arbetet innehĂ„ller Ă€ven tankar om trĂ€dgĂ„rdens framtid pĂ„ NilsgĂ„rden och hur de historiska vĂ€rdena skulle kunna hanteras. En litteraturstudie, en arkivstudie, en platsinventering av trĂ€dgĂ„rden samt intervjuer med personer som haft anknytning till gĂ„rden ligger till grund för undersökningen. TrĂ€dgĂ„rdens olika delar bestĂ„r av gĂ„rdsplanen i söder samt frukttrĂ€dgĂ„rden, framsidan och parken i norr. Fram till 1950-talet innehöll trĂ€dgĂ„rden raka, sandade gĂ„ngstigar och grĂ€sytor i kvarter med planteringar av prydnadsvĂ€xter lĂ€ngs grusgĂ„ngarna, men ocksĂ„ av nyttovĂ€xter sĂ„som bĂ€rbuskar och frukttrĂ€d, vilka fanns utspridda pĂ„ olika platser i trĂ€dgĂ„rdens grĂ€sytor. Parken bestod av stora lövtrĂ€d av olika sorter, sĂ„som ek och bok, vilket den gör Ă€ven idag. Det fanns ocksĂ„ ett stenparti i trĂ€dgĂ„rden, ett inslag som var typiskt för den tiden. Under 1960-talet utökades jordbruket pĂ„ NilsgĂ„rden, samtidigt som trĂ€dgĂ„rden pĂ„ ett flertal sĂ€tt rationaliserades vilket skedde pĂ„ mĂ„nga gĂ„rdar vid den tiden. GĂ„ngstigarna lades igen och frukttrĂ€den anordnades i en separat frukttrĂ€dgĂ„rd. PĂ„ 1960- och 70-talen infördes en mĂ€ngd nytt vĂ€xtmaterial med betoning pĂ„ rosor och barrvĂ€xter, nĂ„got som var ett typiskt inslag i trĂ€dgĂ„rdskulturen under 1970-talet. Den förĂ€ndring i utformning och innehĂ„ll som skedde under 1960-talet och Ă„rtiondena efter har i stora drag kvarstĂ„tt fram till idag. Undersökningen kring Höje-Nils trĂ€dgĂ„rd Ă€r en viktig lĂ€nk i att trĂ€dgĂ„rden ska fortsĂ€tta vĂ„rdas och bevaras för framtiden dĂ„ det synliggör vad och vilka delar i trĂ€dgĂ„rden som Ă€r vĂ€rda att bevara. Exempelvis visar undersökningen pĂ„ vilka vĂ€xter som förknippas med en viss tidsperiod, eller vilka buskar och trĂ€d som Ă€r vĂ€rda att bevara pĂ„ grund av dess historiska vĂ€rden. Den historiska efterforskningen kan hjĂ€lpa och vĂ€gleda Ă€garna kring val gĂ€llande trĂ€dgĂ„rdens framtida utformning och innehĂ„ll. Exempelvis Ă€r de Ă€ldre trĂ€den i parken och trĂ€den i frukttrĂ€dgĂ„rden vĂ€rda att bevara dĂ„ de har ett historiskt vĂ€rde, likasĂ„ detaljer i trĂ€dgĂ„rden i form av höganĂ€skeramik pĂ„ grund av dess kulturhistoriska vĂ€rde. Den historiska kunskapen Ă€r ocksĂ„ vĂ€rdefull i den aspekten att det ger en inblick i den lokala trĂ€dgĂ„rdskulturen i Södra IngelstrĂ€de med omnejd, men ocksĂ„ ur ett större trĂ€dgĂ„rdshistoriskt perspektiv för lantbrukstrĂ€dgĂ„rdar, dĂ€r arbetet ger exempel pĂ„ hur en bland mĂ„nga skĂ„nska lantbrukstrĂ€dgĂ„rdar historiskt kan ha sett ut.NilsgĂ„rden, and what was once Höje-Nils' garden, is located in the village of Södra IngelstrĂ€de on Kullahalvön in northwestern SkĂ„ne. It was built in 1868 by Nils Nilsson, also called Höje-Nils. That name was given to him because of the tall residential house he built. Until today, the farm has been owned by the same family, the NilsgĂ„rd family, who has a desire to gain knowledge and insight into the gardenâs history. The aim of this work has been to investigate how the garden at NilsgĂ„rden has looked in terms of design and content from 1868 until today. The work also contains ideas about the future garden at NilsgĂ„rden and how the historical values could be managed. A literature study, an archive study, a site inventory of the garden as well as interviews with people who have been connected to the farm are the basis of the investigation that has been carried out for the time period 1868-2023. The different parts of the garden consist of a courtyard in the south, an orchard, a frontyard and a park in the north. Until the 1950s the garden contained sandy footpaths with neighboring plantings of ornamental plants, but also of useful plants such as berry bushes and fruit trees, which were scattered in various places in the garden. The park consisted of large decidous trees of various kinds, such as oak and beech, which it still does today. There was also a rockery in the garden, a feature that was typical for the time. During the 1960s, agriculture at NilsgĂ„rden was expanded, while the garden was rationalized in several ways and reduced in size, this happened on many farms at that time. The foothpaths were closed and the fruit trees were arranged in their own orchard. The time after, a lot of new plant material was introduced with an emphasis on roses and conifers, which was typical of garden culture during the 1970s. The change in design and content that took place during the 1960s and the decades after has largely remained until today. The survey of NilsgĂ„rdenâs garden is a significant link in ensuring that the garden continues to be cared for and preserved for the future, which makes visible, what and which parts of the garden are worth preserving. For example, the survey shows which plants are associated with a certain time, or which shrubs and trees are worth preserving because of their historical value. The historical research can help ad guide the ownersâ choices regarding the future design and content of the garden. For example, the older trees in the park and the trees in the orchard are worth preserving as they have a historical value, as well as details in the garden of ceramic from HöganĂ€s due to its cultural-historical value. The historical knowledge is also valuable in an aspect that gives an insight into the local gardening culture in Södra IngelstrĂ€de and the surrounding area, but also from a larger horticultural historical perspective for agricultural gardens; where the work provides examples of how one among many agricultural gardens in SkĂ„ne historically has looked like
GĂŒnther Andersâ Undiscovered Critical Theory of Technology in the Age of Big Data Capitalism
GĂŒnther Anders (1902-1992) was an Austrian philosopher, critical theorist, political activist, and a writer of poems, short stories and novels. His works on the critical theory of technology have remained rather undiscovered. His main work Die Antiquiertheit des Menschen (The Antiquatedness of the Human Being) appeared in two volumes and has thus far not been published in English. This essay reviews key aspects of Andersâ works and uses them to critically assess big data capitalism. It first discusses Andersâ concept of the Promethean gap; the gap between what humans can produce with the help of technologies and the capacity of imagining the negative effects these technologies can have. The essay also engages with Andersâ analysis of commercial television and radio. Anders sees capitalism as having catastrophic potentials. He argues that Auschwitz and Hiroshima are two symbols of 20th-century catastrophism. The article discusses Andersâ letter to Klaus Eichmann, the son of Adolf Eichmann, who was in charge of the organisation of the displacement and deportation of Jews in the Third Reich. It furthermore analyses the exchange of letters between Anders and Claude Eatherly, the pilot of an aircraft that supported dropping the nuclear bomb âLittle Boyâ on Hiroshima. Finally, the paper engages with Andersâ critique of Martin Heideggerâs philosophy. In the age of the Internet and big data capitalism, Andersâ warnings about the potential negative effects of capitalist technologies and capitalism remain of crucial relevance and have taken on new qualities. Andersâ philosophy is an undiscovered critical theory of technology that allows us to critically understand power structures in the age of big data and social media

Cathodoluminescence of shocked quartz at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary
Empirical studies have documented an association between rock type and the cathodoluminescence color of constituent quartz grains. Quartz from extrusive igneous sources luminesces uniform pale blue. Quartz from intrusive igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks generally luminesces darker purple-blue, whereas quartz recrystallized under low-grade metamorphic conditions luminesces reddish-brown. Quartz grains in most sandstones luminesce a heterogeneous mixture of these colors because the grains were derived from a variety of ultimate source rocks. If shocked quartz found at the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary is volcanic in origin, its cathodoluminescence should be predominantly pale blue. Alternatively, quartz grains derived from bolide impact upon, and ejection of, mixed igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks should luminesce a variety of colors. Grain mounts of sand collected at the K-T boundary horizon from the Clear Creek North site in the Raton Basin, Colorado were examined. Shocked quartz luminesced a variety of colors and very few grains luminesced the pale blue color that is typical of volcanic quartz. It was concluded that the shocked quartz was derived from a petrologically diverse source region without substantial volcanic contribution. Most shocked grains apparently were derived from low-grade metamorphic rocks, with a slightly smaller contribution from high-grade metamorphic and intrusive igneous rocks. Rare quartz grains with brown-luminescing rims reflect a minor addition from detrital sedimentary sources. The apparent relative abundances of intrusive (and rare extrusive) igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary ultimate source rocks suggested by CL colors of shock-deformed quartz at the K-T boundary is consistent with a crustal/supracrustal origin for the grains
Anders e l'incompleto
This contribution aims at highlighting some fundamental motifs (reasons) of that particular philosophical anthropology which can be found in the works of G. Anders, who sets at the center of the analysis, with strong clarity, the figure of man as human being, who comes into the world as âincompleteâ and âundeterminedâ: according to Anders this concretizes itself through the critical confrontation with the philosophical anthropology which becomes philosophy of the tekhne in A. Gehlen and with the Kafkian representation of an existence radically incomplete
