Rune Andréasson

**Rune Herbert Emanuel Andréasson** (11 August 1925 – 15 December 1999) was a Swedish comic book writer, artist, and animator. He is most famous for creating the character **Bamse**, a bear known as "the world's strongest bear."

## Life and career

Andréasson first trained to be an actor. He played several roles at the Gothenburg City Theatre (_Göteborgs Stadsteater_). He began making comic strips for children in 1944. His work has been published in many different languages.

Most of his characters were his own original ideas. Some of his early series included _Brum_, _Nalle ritar och berättar_, and _Teddy_. However, his biggest success was _Bamse_. Because the comic was so popular, it was later made into many cartoons and movies. Today, it is still one of the most famous comics in Sweden.

In the 1970s, Andréasson began hiring other artists to do the drawing, but he continued to write the stories. He was very strict about the content of his magazine. For example, he refused to allow commercial advertisements in the magazine because it was made for children. He also did not want to use his characters to sell a lot of toys or products.

## Retirement and death

Andréasson retired in the early 1990s. He gave the rights to his comics to the publishing company Egmont. He died of cancer on 15 December 1999, at the age of 74.

Fixed-point arithmetic

In mathematics, a fixed point is a value that remains unchanged under the application of a given function. Formally, for a function f mapping a set to itself, a fixed point is an element x such that f(x) = x. Fixed points appear across many areas of mathematics, including algebra, analysis, topology, and applied fields. Examples include solutions to equations, equilibrium states in dynamical systems, and steady states in iterative processes. Important results related to fixed points include the Banach Fixed-Point Theorem, which guarantees the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for contraction mappings in complete metric spaces, and Brouwer’s Fixed-Point Theorem, which states that any continuous function from a compact convex set to itself has at least one fixed point.

Kfar Tapuach

**Kfar Tapuach** (Hebrew: כְּפַר תַּפּוּחַ, _lit._, Apple-village) is an Orthodox Jewish Israeli settlement in the West Bank and Gaza.

It sits astride Tapuach Junction, a major traffic junction in the Israeli-occupied territories of the State of Palestine. The executive director of the village council is Israel Blunder, and the chief rabbi Simon Rosenzwieg. In 2023, it had a population of 1,606.

Bodies such as United Nations, European Union, International Criminal Court and USA consider Jewish settlements in the Palestinian territories illegal under international law, while the State of Israel and its supporters disputes this.

## History

According to ARIJ, Kfar Tapuach was established in 1978 on land which Israel had confiscated from Palestinian town Yasuf.

## Demographics

Kfar Tapuach is one of the more diverse Israeli settlements, with its population coming from a range of backgrounds.

Founded by a core of Habbani Yemenite Jews from the moshav of Bareket, it has since absorbed Russian and American Jewish immigrants to Israel, a large group of Peruvian converts to Judaism from Trujillo, and others. Between February 2004 and August 2009, over 90 new families moved to Kfar Tapuach.

## Public services

This Jewish settlement includes four synagogues, two _mikvaot_ (ritual baths) for women and men, a nursery school, and three kindergartens.

## Biblical Tappuah

Kfar Tapuach is named after biblical Tapuach (Tappuah or Tapuah), which appears in the Bible in the Book of Joshua (Joshua 12:17) as one of the first 31 cities conquered by Joshua Bin-Nun and the children of Israel.

## Connection to the Kach Party

Kfar Tapuach is noted as a hub for followers of Meir Kahane (dubbed Kahanists).

Allyl group

The **allyl group** is a piece of a chemical in organic chemistry. It has a double bond between two carbon atoms, with one attached to a third carbon atom that links to the rest of the molecule. Allyl compounds are a type of alkene.

## Chemistry

The two hydrogen atoms on the non-double bonded carbon atom are called **allylic hydrogen**. The chemical bonds connecting allylic hydrogen atoms to the carbon atom is much weaker than normal hydrocarbon bonds, making allyl compounds more reactive than other hydrocarbons. Allyl radicals, cations, and anions are all stabilised by delocalized electrons across the three carbon atoms.
Acetoxy group

The **acetoxy group** (also called **acetyloxy**) is a functional group in organic chemistry. It is another name for an acetate ester, used in chemical nomenclature for complex molecules or to talk about acetate as a protecting group.

Karahisar Expedition (1418)

**The Karahisar Expedition** was a military operation launched by the Karakoyunlu against the Ottoman Empire in 1418. Pir Ömer, the Karakoyunlu governor of Erzincan, entered Ottoman territory and captured Karahisar and Karahisar Castle. As a result, the eastern Black Sea coast, with the exception of Samsun, came under Karakoyunlu control.

## Expedition

Before Shahrukh's campaign to Azerbaijan, there were some disagreements in Ottoman-Karakoyunlu relations. Kara Yusuf's sending Pir Ömer, the ruler of Erzincan, to besiege Karahisar caused this tension. The ruler of the city, Hasan, son of Melik Ahmed, appealed to Prince Murad, the governor of Amasya, and Sultan Mehmed I Çelebi for help. However, Sultan Mehmed I Çelebi could not help Hasan, and the city was captured by Pir Ömer.

Adenomera martinezi

**Martinez's tropical bullfrog** (_Adenomera martinezi_) is a frog.  It lives in Brazil.

## Home

This frog lives in grassy places near rocks. Scientists have seen it  meters above sea level.

Scientists have not seen these frogs in protected places, but they saw it near Reserva Biológica Nascentes Serra do Cachimbo and on an air force base.

## Young

The male frog sits on the grass or in a hole underground and calls to the female frogs. The tadpoles swim in fields that flood for part of the year.

## Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in a little danger of dying out. It does not live in a protected park, but it does live on an air force base where human beings do not change the plants or ground. In other places, human beings set fires to control the grass. Scientists do not know if this frog is good at living in places that human beings have changed.
Methylene group

- Methylene bridge, , connecting two different parts of a molecule
- Methylidene group, , connected twice to the same part of a molecule
Enol ether

An **enol ether** is a type of organic compound. They are ethers where the oxygen atom is next to a double bond between carbon atoms.

## Preparation

Unlike other ethers, it is hard to make enol ethers using the Williamson ether synthesis. Enols are unstable versus changing into ketones, and vinyl halides are the wrong shape for the S<sub>N</sub>2 mechanism. Instead, enol ethers are normally made with an addition reaction between a terminal alkyne and an alcohol, using a strong base as a catalyst. A second route is transesterfication of vinyl acetate using transition metal catalysts.

Beryllium hydride

**Beryllium hydride** is a compound made of beryllium and hydrogen. The chemical formula is . It has a molar mass of around 11.03 g/mol. Unlike other alkaline earth metal hydrides which are ionically bonded, beryllium hydride is considered covalently bonded. This compound is also nonpolar because the chemical structure is linear, which means the dipole moments are in opposite directions meaning they cancel each other out. This compound is also an exception to the octet rule because beryllium is electron-deficient meaning it only has four valence electrons instead of zero or eight.

## Formation of beryllium hydride

This compound cannot be directly made from beryllium metal and hydrogen gas. Instead it can be made from the reaction between dimethylberyllium () and lithium aluminium hydride () (first made in 1951), or the more pure sample reaction is beryllium borohydride ()and triphenylphosphine ().

The balanced chemical equation for the triphenylphosphine and beryllium borohydride reaction is:
