Den förnöjsamme undersåten: Dygdens flexibilitet i 1700-talets Sverige.

Artikeln diskuterar dygdens ställning i 1700-talets Sverige - hur den diskuterades och legitimerades i dåtidens sedeläror. Förnöjsamhet var en särskilt populär dygd och dess relation till samhälleliga hierarkier ger oss en insyn i dåtidens moraliska landskap. Det ger oss även en uppfattning om hur tänjbara de moraliska gränserna kunde vara och vilka möjligheter som fanns att argumentera mot de råd

Was the wage burden too heavy? : Profitability and wage shares of settler agriculture in colonial Malawi, c 1900-1960

The historical role of European farming in southern and central Africa is a delicate matter that has received a great deal of attention among scholars over the years. Going through this vast literature a striking consensus emerges: success or failure of European farming in southern Africa was to a large extent depending on their access and control over labour. These propositions have so far never

Language and Literacy : Some fundamental issues in research on reading and writing

Abstract in Norwegian Hovudlina i forskinga på lesing og skriving byggjer på tanken om at talt språk på alle vesentlege punkt er primært i høve til skrive språk. Omgrepsapparatet for studiet av språk og lese- og skrivedugleik er også bygd kring denne tanken. Dette er problematisk frå eit vitskapsteoretisk standpunkt sidan tanken om det talte språket sin dominans ikkje er tilstrekkeleg empirisk undMainstream research on reading and writing is based on the assumption, common in modern linguistics, that spoken language is primary to written language in most important respects. Unfortunately, the conceptual framework for the study of language and 'literacy' (encompassing both reading and writing skills) is built around this assumption. This is problematic with regard to the philosophy of scien

The impact of default settings on evacuation model results: a study of visibility conditions vs occupant walking speeds

This paper aims to analyze the impact of different strategies regarding the use of default model settings and embedded data-sets. Initially, the consequences of these different strategies on the results produced are discussed. This is followed by a detailed case-study focusing on the qualitative and quantitative impact that selecting different strategies may produce: whether the user provides thei

Morphometric and molecular variation in the Nordic dogroses (Rosa Sect. Caninae, Rosaceae)

In the present thesis, I investigate the hierarchical structure of morphometric and molecular diversity within and between the Nordic dogroses (Rosa Sect. Caninae, Rosaceae). I also investigate patterns of geographic differentiation and taxonomic relationships within the group. The dogroses are characterized by a unique genetic system, the so-called ”canina meiosis” that leads to an uneven allocat
