Shining light on the aurora's contributions to people: A qualitative study of the aurora borealis in Greenland
The aurora borealis (northern lights) is an abiotic natural phenomenon that contributes to human well‐being. There is currently a significant research gap in primary qualitative valuation of the aurora's links to people. This exploratory qualitative study applies the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) framework in a novel context to study interactions between people and the aurora in Greenland. The main aims…
Breaking the green hydrogen deadlock? Contextual factors for hydrogen-based fuels in Nordic ports
To fulfil climate change commitments and transition towards net zero carbon economies, there is a need for Nordic nations to explore the development and deployment of alternative fuels. In this context, this inquiry presents the first comparative analysis of drivers for and barriers to implementing green hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels (hydrogen, methanol, ammonia) within potential hydrogen hubs in Nordic ports. To support the development of hy…

The Cambridge Companion to Religion and War
This Companion offers a global, comparative history of the interplay between religion and war from ancient times to the present. Moving beyond sensationalist theories that seek to explain why 'religion causes war,' the volume takes a thoughtful look at the connection between religion and war through a variety of lenses - historical, literary, and sociological-as well as the particular features of religious war. The twenty-three carefully nuanced …
An assessment of the scope and comprehensiveness of well-being economy indicator sets: The cases of Iceland, Scotland and New Zealand
A preliminary estimate of the economic value of Iceland's terrestrial ecosystem services and opportunities for future research
Iceland is an understudied nation with respect to the quality, quantity and value of its ecosystem services, despite the growth of nature-based tourism and an economy reliant on abundant natural resources, especially fish stocks and renewable energy. This research reports on the preliminary outcome of an investigation to estimate the economic value of Iceland's ecosystem services (ES). The benefit transfer method is applied using the latest aggre…
Interactive governance of whale ecosystem services: Governability assessment of three case studies in the Arctic
The social-ecological change in the Arctic is accelerated by the multifaceted effects of climate change and globalization. Among other things, this means changing human-ecosystem dynamics through altered availability, co-production, and governance of ecosystem services (ES). A group of species illustrative of this change are whales, migratory species that have played an important part in the culture and subsistence of Arctic communities for mille…

Systemic risk of cruise ship incidents from an Arctic and insurance perspective
Easier accessibility and demand for so-called last chance tourism has contributed to rapid growth in Arctic cruise ship tourism. Arctic cruising brings many benefits to remote coastal communities but also presents an array of risks. In the light of this context, this article explores the concept of systemic risk of cruise ship incidents in general, findings which are then placed in an Arctic context and consideration given of the role the insuran…
The new normals of work: A framework for understanding responses to disruptions created by new futures of work
The COVID-19 pandemic led to governments advising citizens to engage in ’social distancing’ measures. These measures included working from home rather than in an office. As a result, many people had to rapidly develop new working strategies. As we look to a new future of work, with many workplaces examining long-term remote or hybrid working set-ups, it is important to understand how people developed remote working strategies and the contextual f…
Efficiency management in catch handling onboard small boats – Standardisation of processes in Icelandic fisheries
Small boat fishers are often the lifeblood of remote coastal communities in Iceland, contributing to employment, jobs and economic prosperity. This study conducts exploratory but highly practical research into the productive efficiency of onboard catch handling practices by Icelandic small boat fishers using fish handling tools called automatic jigging machines. Using applied research methods, this study researches whether standardisation of oper…

Leaflet From the Bauchi Prison Break1
(7 SEPTEMBER 2010) On 7 September 2010 (28 Ramadan, during the traditional period of Laylat al-Qadr (cf. Qur’ān 97)), which was also the same day that the 2011 election was announced), there was an attack on the Bauchi Federal Prison by approximately fifty members of Boko Haram. 721 prisoners were set free, among whom were approximately 150 Boko Haram members. Two leaflets were distributed by the group on that day. The first leaflet was a small p…
The Boko Haram Reader: From Nigerian Preachers to the Islamic State
Since it erupted onto the world stage in 2009, people have asked, what is Boko Haram, and what does it stand for? Is there a coherent vision or set of beliefs behind it? Despite the growing literature about the group, few if any attempts have been made to answer these questions, even though Boko Haram is but the latest in a long line of millenarian Muslim reform groups to emerge in Northern Nigeria over the last two centuries. The Boko Haram Read…
Does Anyone Care about Martyrdom Anymore
One major question comes out when one considers contemporary martyrdom operations: why Islam? Hatina's book is an excellent survey of the theoretical and religious source material on Islamic martyrdom. Hatina places the study of Islamic martyrdom squarely within overarching theoretical frameworks, and does so with a full command of the primary source materials. This marriage was not previously accomplished with regard to Islamic martyrdom
Women Fighting in Jihad
The subject of women fighting in jihad has been a controversial and under-researched\ntopic in classical and contemporary Muslim religious literature. In general, classical\nauthorities did not see women fighting except in the most extraordinary circumstances\nyet did not expressly forbid it. Today radical Muslims seeking to widen their\nappeal have modified these conclusions and made it possible for women to participate\ntogether with men on the…

Panic Usa: Hypermodernism as America's Postmodernism
This is a series of meditations on panic as the dominant mood of postmodern culture at the fin-de-millenium. As technological imperatives of postmodern science merge with the social demands of popular culture, ours is an age of both deep anxiety and giddy euphoria. Vibrating between poles of despair and ecstasy, the central tendencies of postmodernity may be characterized as a catastrophic implosion of the languages of modern power into a dense a…

Moral Apocalyptic in Islam
L'apocalyptiste musulman apparait comme un critique social qui percoit le monde d'une maniere tres specifique et simpliste pour tout dire. Ceci ne reduit cependant pas le pouvoir de sa vision. On pourrait dire que l'apocalyptiste fait partie des premiers avocats de la separation entre la foi et l'Etat. Il ne souffre aucune compromission. Il peut faire preuve d'un militarisme dans la maniere de conduire sa vie ou au contraire d'un pacifisme. Il s'…

A critique of Robert Pape's Dying To Win
Robert Pape's recent book Dying to Win is one of the most important statistical studies of the global phenomenon of suicide attacks to appear in the recent past. While Pape's basic thesis of the formula of occupation in addition to religious/cultural differences between the occupier and the occupied causing these suicide attacks holds up, there are a number of cases in which it does not. Additionally, some of Pape's historical and Islamic example…
Ḥadīth, Authority and the End of the World: Traditions in Modern Muslim Apocalyptic Literature
Tamīm al-ārī
Tamīm al-Dārī was one of the Prophet Muḥammad's companions and an early convert to Islam from Christianity. His name is most closely associated with the eschatological traditions concerning the Dajjāl (the Muslim Antichrist), and various early ascetic ideas. The best known story involving him is in fact his meeting with the Dajjāl, after he and others of his tribe are shipwrecked on a mysterious island. He is taken by a creature calledal-jassāsat…
Some Structural Approaches to Cinema: A Survey of Models
The theory of an art form usually evolves at some distance from its inception, and this has surely been the case with cinema. As Roland Barthes has recently put it, Born technologically, sometimes even esthetically, the film is yet to be born theoretically.' But today this latter birth is not long in coming. The small arena where the proponents of Eisensteinian montage once did battle with those of Bazinian composition in depth has enlarged withi…

Messianism and Astronomical Events during the First Four Centuries of Islam
Il y a une relation entre le messianisme et les événements astronomiques depuis les débuts de l'Islam quoique nous ne sachions pas si la conjonction des comètes et des supernovae influença le Prophète, à l'époque où il recevait la Révélation, en ce qui concerne sa croyance en une fin du monde proche ; en revanche un grand nombre de mouvements apocalyptiques ou messianiques eurent lieu pendant les quatre siècles suivants et même plus, lorsqu'il se…
Suicide Attacks or "Martyrdom Operations" in Contemporary Jihad Literature
Martyrdom operations are a factor in contemporary radical Islam. These operations have their roots in classical jihad literature, but fundamentally are a by-product of widespread frustration and perceived humiliations on the part of Muslims. The attacks of 11 September 2001 are rooted within this tradition
World War II and Convergence
Proxies that measure the effect of World War II on a country's capital stock are used as instruments for estimating standard cross-country growth regressions. The war's destruction should offer a natural experiment that allows us to consistently estimate the speed at which productivity growth converges to its long-run path. This paper presents evidence that convergence rates are approximately 4% to 6% per annum, substantially larger than conventi…
An Early Muslim Daniel Apocalypse
