Edited by Petri Karonen and Marko Hakanen Marko and Karonen Petri by Edited Personal Agency at the Swedish Age of Greatness 1560-1720 provides fresh insights into the state-building process in Sweden. During this transitional period, many far-reaching administrative reforms were the Swedish at Agency Personal Age of Greatness 1560–1720 Greatness of Age carried out, and the Swedish state developed into a prime example of the ‘power-state’.

Dis/Connection Conflicts, Activism and Reciprocity Online and Beyond 27–28 September 2018 Uppsala University
Dis/connection Conflicts, Activism and Reciprocity Online and Beyond 27–28 September 2018 Uppsala University UPPSALA UNIVERSITY DIS/CONNECTION 2018 2 (38) UPPSALA UNIVERSITY DIS/CONNECTION 2018 3 (38) Dear Colleagues, It is our pleasure to welcome all of you to the symposium Dis / Connection: Conflicts, Activism and Reciprocity Online and Beyond organized by the Cultural Matters Group based here at Department of Sociology, Uppsala University. The goal of this two-day event is to gather researchers, stimulate discussion and scholarly exchange about one of the fundamental aspects of social relationships, namely connection. For over the past two decades or so digital networks became increasingly embedded in the everyday life and subsequently transformed many aspects of social living – from intimate and private relations through collective action to industries and social structures. At the same time, the goal of this event is to tackle the idea and question of disconnection – a multifaceted concept which has gained public and scholarly attention in recent years. As already noted in our call for abstracts, the purpose of this symposium is to stimulate the discussion on the gains, costs and possibilities of ethical life in the culture of hyperconnectivity. The aim is thus also to address both positive and negative aspects of dis/connected living and to better understand how it can possibly give rise to and facilitate social inclusion and meaningful societal exchange. The symposium programme consists of international and local researchers and promises intellectually stimulating time and great opportunity for networking, new partnerships and friendships. This event will take place at Campus Engelska Parken (The English Campus) and the University Main Building (Universitetshuset) and is arranged by the Cultural Matters Group with support from Uppsala Forum on Democracy, Peace and Justice at Uppsala University. -

Systems of Settlement Hierarchy
Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Viking and Medieval Norse Studies Systems of Settlement Hierarchy A study of Husby, Central Places, and Settlement in the Mälaren Region from an Archaeological Perspective. Ritgerð til MA-prófs í Viking and Medieval Norse Studies Karl Troxell Kt.: 050994-4229 Leiðbeinandi: Orri Vésteinsson June 2019 Abstract The study of the settlement landscape of Late Iron Age, Viking Age, and Medieval Scandinavia has often focused on questions concerning the development of socio-political organization and its effect on the regional organization of settlement. In the Mälaren region in central Sweden scholars have relied on theoretical models of social and settlement hierarchy developed over nearly a century of discourse. The framework for these models was initially built on sparse literary, historical, and linguistic evidence, with archaeological material only being considered more systematically in recent decades, and then only in a secondary capacity. These considerations only being made to shed light on the existing theoretical framework. No general examination of the archaeological material has taken place to corroborate these models of settlement hierarchy based purely on an archaeological perspective. This thesis reviews the models of settlement hierarchy and social organization proposed for the Mälaren region in the Late Iron Age through Medieval Period and examines how they hold up in the face of the available archaeological evidence. It finds that while much more systematic archaeological research is necessary, the available evidence calls for a serious restructuring of these theoretical frameworks. i Ágrip Rannsóknir á landsháttum síðari hluta járnaldar, víkingaaldar og miðalda á Norðurlöndum hafa að stórum hluta miðað að því að varpa ljósi á álitamál um þróun valdakerfa og um áhrif þeirra á skipulag byggðar. -

Viking-Age Runic Plates of the Runic Plates Have Been Conducted with a Stereomicroscope for This Purpose
The aim of this dissertation is to represent as clearly as possible the genre of Viking- Age runic plates by developing readings and interpretations of the inscriptions on the 46 metal plates with runes from the Viking Age known today. Several investigations SOFIA PERESWETOFF-MORATH • • PERESWETOFF-MORATH SOFIA Viking-Age Runic Plates of the runic plates have been conducted with a stereomicroscope for this purpose. On the basis of the new readings thus established, new interpretations have been pro- posed for the most problematic sections of previously interpreted inscriptions. New interpretations are also offered for inscriptions on runic plates which have previously been considered non-lexical. As well as providing new readings and interpretations, this study has resulted in clarification of the relationship between the form and content of the inscriptions on the runic plates on the one hand and on their find circumstances and appearance on the other.

Creating Value from Science Interaction Between Academia, Business and Healthcare in the Uppsala PET Centre Case

The examination will be conducted in Swedish. Faculty examiner: Professor Frans Prenkert (Örebro universitet). Abstract Launberg, A. 2017. Creating value from science. Interaction between academia, business and healthcare in the Uppsala PET Centre case. Doctoral thesis / Företagsekonomiska institutionen, Uppsala universitet 187. 274 pp. Uppsala: Företagsekonomiska institutionen. ISBN 978-91-506-2640-7. Recent decades have seen greater focus, both national and global, on universities’ role in boosting economic growth. Besides teaching and conducting research, universities are urged to contribute directly to the economy by commercialising research findings and interacting with industry. This thesis explores the dynamics and effects of such interplay by concentrating on a particular case of interaction involving Uppsala University, Uppsala University Hospital and a large multinational corporation. More specifically, the aim of the study was to investigate how use of science and value creation from science are affected when actors belonging to disparate spheres interact closely. The thesis recounts the evolution of the Uppsala PET Centre, established as a University research institute in 1989, which has served both as a site for pre- clinical and clinical research and as an important resource in routine clinical work. The whole Centre was commercialised when a large firm acquired it in 2002, only to be decommercialised and returned to the University and the University Hospital less than a decade later. -

[email protected] 2 Per Frölund, Department of Urban and Rural Development, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SE-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden. [email protected] Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Uppsala University, Sweden ABSTRACT John Ljungkvist & Per Frölund 2015. Gamla Uppsala – the emergence of a cen- tre and a magnate complex. The emergence of Gamla Uppsala as a centre has been discussed for centuries. During the past years, old excavations have been incorporated into the frame-work of the archaeological research project Gamla Uppsala - the emergence of a mythical centre (GUAM), with GIS and excavations in combination with survey results and reinterpretations, as old excavations are placed in relation to new investigations. This article is based on the results from excavations in 2011 and 2015 and studies of previous investigations in the light of new results. We have chosen to present a stand der forschung of what we currently know about the 6th to 8th century estate in the centre of Gamla Uppsala, how it emerges as part of an un- paralleled monumentalization of the area, what we know of a Migration Period prelude and its transformation during the 8th/9th century. -

The examination will be conducted in Swedish. Abstract Ingemarsdotter, J. 2011. Ramism, Rhetoric and Reform. An Intellectual Biography of Johan Skytte (1577–1645). Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Uppsala Studies in History of Ideas 42. 322 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-8071-4. This thesis is an intellectual biography of the Swedish statesman Johan Skytte (1577–1645), focusing on his educational ideals and his contributions to educational reform in the early Swedish Age of Greatness. Although born a commoner, Skytte rose to be one of the most powerful men in Sweden in the first half of the seventeenth century, serving three generations of regents. As a royal preceptor and subsequently a university chancellor, Skytte appears as an early educational politician at a time when the Swedish Vasa dynasty initiated a number of far-reaching reforms, including the revival of Sweden’s only university at the time (in Uppsala). The contextual approach of the thesis shows how Skytte’s educational reform agenda was shaped by nationally motivated arguments as well as by a Late Renaissance humanist heritage, celebrating education as the foundation of all prosperous civilizations. Utilizing a largely unexplored source material written mostly in Latin, the thesis analyzes how Skytte’s educational arguments were formed already at the University of Marburg in the 1590s, where he learned to embrace the utility-orientated ideals of the French humanist Petrus Ramus (1515–1572). -

Towards a standardized discussion of priors in Bayes- ian analyses of 14C dated archaeological periods: A study based on the dates from Gjøsund. This article focuses on Swedish and Scandinavian contract archaeology and14 C dating. It is a follow-up of a case study by Diinhoff and Slinning (2013), who discuss the 14C dating of a house from the Early Iron Age at Gjøsund, Ålesund, Norway. Their discussion is methodical and well-focussed, but intuitive when it comes to analysing 14C dates as probability distributions. Taking the case study forward, the same house is dated again using the same 14C dates. In the present contribution, the discussion is meant to suggest a more standardized approach to the chronological analysis of 14C dates of periods, such as the lifetime of a house. Having presented a methodical procedure, Diinhoff and Slinning’s case is up- dated following the suggested procedure. Finally, their 14C dates are introduced to Bayesian statistics using the BCal calibration tool, Beck et al.
