Negotiating normativities: âOdin from Lejreâ as challenger of hegemonic orders
This article focuses on some bodily features of the figurine called âOdin from Lejreâ. Some corporal characteristics convey an ambivalent touch to the interpretation of the miniature. So, for example, shows the clothing close resemblance to the late Iron Age female dress. This, combined with facial attributes that have been interpreted as a moustache, can be seen as a negotiation of the contemporary hetero-normative gender order. Moreover, the eyes of the figure demonstrate certain irregularities, maybe signifying differences in the visual capacities of the eyes. This corporal exceptionality in relation to (todayâs) notions of body-normativity may imply that the Viking Age abled body sometimes was extended to include reduced visual capacity. The processing of both gender-normativity and body-normativity in one and the same precious item, may imply that the high-ranked setting of Lejre included performative practices that were negotiating both heteronormative and body-normative hegemonic orders
Orthokeratinized Odontogenic Cyst of the Mandible with Heterotopic Cartilage
Cartilaginous metaplasia is a rare but well-documented phenomenon occurring in the wall of odontogenic keratocyst. The mural cartilage not associated with odontogenic keratocyst has been reported only once in a maxillary teratoid cyst of congenital origin to our knowledge. A case presented is a 38-year-old man with intraosseous keratinizing epidermoid cyst in the mandible, the wall of which contained a nodule of mature hyaline cartilage. The present lesion likely represents a previously undescribed, histologic hybrid consisting of orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst and cartilaginous heterotopia
Viking Mortuary Citations
Introducing the European Journal of Archaeologyâs special issue âMortuary Citations: Death and Memory in the Viking Worldâ, this article outlines the justification and theoretical framework underpinning a new set of studies on Viking-age mortuary and commemorative practice as strategies of mortuary citation. The contributions to the collection are reviewed in relation to strengths and weaknesses in existing research and broader themes in mortuary archaeological research into memory work in past societies
Applications of sensory and physiological measurement in oralâfacial dental pain
Dentists regularly employ a variety of selfâreport and sensory techniques to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of toothârelated disease. Many of these techniques leverage principles borrowed from psychophysics, the quantitative measurement of the relationship between stimuli and evoked sensations, which falls under the larger umbrella of quantitative sensory testing (QST). However, most clinicians fail to meet the bar for what could be considered quantitative sensory testing, and instead focus on qualitative and dichotomous âyes/noâ aspects of sensory experience. With our current subjective measurements for pain assessments, diagnosis and treatment of dental pain in young children and individuals (any age) with severe cognitive impairment rely extensively on thirdâparty observations. Consequently, the limitation of inadequate pain diagnosis can lead to poor pain management. In this review, it discusses mechanisms that underlie acute and chronic dental pain. It details the measurement of somatosensory responses and pulpal blood flow as objective measures of tooth health and pain. It proposes that bridging these varied methodologies will significantly improve diagnosis and treatment of orofacial pain and pathology. It concludes that improving the precision of sensory measurements could yield important improvements in diagnostic challenges in pulpal pathology for noncommunicative and cognitively impaired individuals.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/146659/1/scd12323.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/146659/2/scd12323_am.pd
Svensk cykelindustri 1867-1965 : En historisk longitudinell studie
Uppsatsens syfte och tema var att undersöka cykelrelaterat företagande utifrĂ„n ettschumpeterianskt synsĂ€tt. Metoden var longitudinell och materialet utgick bĂ„de frĂ„nuppgifter frĂ„n Sveriges Handelskalender 1889/90 â 1965 och annan litteratur.Undersökningen följde Lennart Schöns referenscykel för historiska förlopp. Cykelnkunde kategoriseras som en konsumtionsvara i utvecklingsblocket för transporter.Materialet visade hur cykeln som innovation fick ett mycket snabbt spridningsförloppi Sverige. Den introducerades av nĂ„gra fĂ„ entreprenörer, som följdes av en hel svĂ€rmav tillverkare - imitatörer. VĂ€rldsutstĂ€llningen i Paris 1867 fick stor betydelse förvelocipedens spridning. I Sverige uppstod snart agglomerationer av cykelföretagandesom utgick frĂ„n Stockholm och det mellansvenska industridistriktet runt Uppsala ochGĂ€vle. Föredagsdöden visade sig vara högre hos nya företag, Liability of Newness,och mindre företag, Liability of Smallness. Ett ökat strukturellt tryck medförde flerafusioner frĂ„n och med 1932. Bilismen Ă„stadkom ett förĂ€ndrat efterfrĂ„gemönster runt1955, vilket inledde cykelbranschens nedgĂ„ng. Importens frislĂ€ppande 1960 innebaren dramatisk överlevnadskamp för företagen. Ă
r 1996 fanns det bara tre svenskaföretag kvar i branschen av totalt 185 gjorda etableringar under perioden 1867-1965
Oscar Montelius och kvinnans frigörelse
Oscar Montelius, förgrundsgestalten i svensk arkeologi och den typologiska metodens fader, var pÄ sin tid djupt engagerad i arbetet för kvinnans frigörelse. Han var en flitig skribent som ville ge lÀsarna »en riktigare bild» av kvinnans emancipation
Viking Age Hair
A study of hair in the Viking Age. The article draws on medieval Icelandic and Scandinavian texts for interpretation. Further information is taken from pictoral representations of viking hair styles and decoration, hairdressing artefacts, figurines and actual remains of hair
