Utbildningsfältets professionalisering

Kapitlet behandlar det svenska utbildningsfältets professionalisering från kyrkligt förankrade kunskapsideal till skolundervisningens förvetenskapligande. Utbildningsfältet är avgränsat i förhållande till den högre utbildningens fält och omfattar utbildningar på grundskole- och gymnasienivå. I Bourdieus mening är fältet ett system av specialiserade institutioner och agenter (kyrka, stat, akademi,

Utbildningsfältets omvandling och läraryrkenas professionalisering

Kapitlet behandlar läraryrkenas positioner och professionsstatus på utbildningens fält. Efter ett kort inledande avsnitt om fältet följer en översikt över svensk skolpolitik de senaste decennierna. Översikten fokuserar skolan och läraryrkenas samhälleliga inbäddning och förutsättningar efter skolverksamhetens kommunalisering och avreglering. Skolan som arbetsorganisation, rektorers framskjutna pos

The WORLD6 Integrated System Dynamics Model: Examples of Results from Simulations

The WORLD6 model is a fully integrated dynamic world systems model. It includes a biophysical global economic model, based on first principles of physics and thermodynamics, forcing it to be fully consistent with the underlying mass- and energy balances. The WORLD6 model first creates value from extraction of natural resources, input of human labour, the efficiency effect of mechanization and auto

Capturing progression of formal knowledge and employability skills by monitoring case discussions in class

Capturing progression in students’ formal knowledge and employability skills is essential in higher education but evokes questions concerning how to assess and monitor progression. While methods for capturing students’ formal knowledge progression have traditionally been at the forefront, methods for capturing employability skills have been less researched within higher education. The aim of this

Multiphoton-multiplasmon excitation of C60

Time-of-flight mass spectrometry is used to study the interaction of free C60 molecules with ultrashort high power Ti:sapphire laser pulses. Ionization and fragmentation of C60 by ultrashort high-intensity laser pulses occur predominantly via plasmon excitation. Single and double excitation of collective charge oscillation is observed by remarkably large number of photons. The difference between a

Greening of the brown-dwarf desert. EPIC 212036875b: a 51 MJ object in a 5-day orbit around an F7 V star

Context. Although more than 2000 brown dwarfs have been detected to date, mainly from direct imaging, their characterisation is difficult due to their faintness and model-dependent results. In the case of transiting brown dwarfs, however, it is possible to make direct high-precision observations.Aims: Our aim is to investigate the nature and formation of brown dwarfs by adding a new well-character

The Po Valley Fog Experiment 1989

An outline is presented here of the Po Valley Fog Experiment 1989, carried out within the EUROTRAC‐GCE project. This experiment is a joint effort by several European research groups from 5 countries. The physical and chemical behaviour of the fog multiphase system was studied experimentally following the temporal evolution of the relevant chemical species in the different phases (gas, droplet, int

Mount Vesuvius

An overview of the cultural significance of Vesuvius during the eighteenth century and Romantic period.

Collider aspects of flavor physics at high Q

This chapter of the 'Flavor in the era of LHC' workshop report discusses flavor-related issues in the production and decays of heavy states at the LHC at high momentum transfer Q, both from the experimental and the theoretical perspective. We review top quark physics, and discuss the flavor aspects of several extensions of the standard model, such as supersymmetry, little Higgs models or models wi

Monte Carlo event generation for future super colliders

The importance of Monte Carlo event generation for future super colliders is discussed and a brief overview of available programs is given. To emphasize the need for different models of the hadronization process, an example of a measurement is presented where fragmentation effects ‘destroys’ an effect predicted by perturbative QCD also at very high energies. Finally the use of modern programming t

A Monte Carlo implementation of the BDMPS-Z formalism

We present preliminary results of a Monte Carlo algorithm that provides a faithful representation of the BDMPS-Z formalism for highly energetic partons interacting in dense QCD matter. In the incoherent limit, the evolution is governed by the probabilities for elastic and inelastic scattering of the highly energetic parton with target constituents in the dense QCD matter. A dynamically evolving fo

Constraining CKM elements with direct top measurements

In this paper the current bounds on the CKM matrix elements |V td|, |Vts| and |Vtb| from direct measurements are discussed and an improved "model-independent" analysis is proposed.

Precision public health: mapping socioeconomic disparities in opioid dispensations at Swedish pharmacies by Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA)

BackgroundIn light of the opioid epidemic in the United States, there is growing concern about the use of opioids in Sweden as it may lead to misuse and overuse and, in turn, severe public health problems. However, little is known about the distribution of opioid use across different demographic and socioeconomic dimensions in the Swedish general population. Therefore, we applied an intersectional

Ruled by the Calender? : Public sector and university managers on meetings, calenders and time

This paper discusses modern organizational meetings in the public sector, with a focus on time, specifically the planning and scheduling of time among managers. In this qualitative analysis, data were gathered through an ethnographic study of managers in several public organizations, all in Sweden. During interviews and field observations, managers told about their time work involving strategies f

Monte Carlo simulations of jet quenching in heavy ion collisions

Jet quenching is one of the major discoveries of the heavy-ion program at Rhic. While there is a wealth of data from Rhic that will soon be supplemented with measurements at the Lhc, on the theoretical side the situation is less clear. A thorough understanding of jet quenching is, however, beneficial, as it is expected that medium-induced modifications of jets allow one to characterise properties
