As the Nordic welfare states evolve – with ideologies that focus on an increased consumption of health services – citizens are required to be productive throughout their life course. And because fewer economic resources are being invested into basic health care, and there is a move to shift more responsibility onto the individual (patient), it is becoming essential to illuminate practices that sho

A reading of Italian film director Pier Paolo Pasolini's last film, Saló or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975)

Artikeln utvecklar två idealtyper för idealistisk systemfilosofi och den positiva andan, och använder sedan dessa för att rekonstruera en förändringsprocess inom finsk och svensk universitetsfilosofi som försiggår under slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet.

New institutional theory has been critizised, for describing institutionalization as a static qualitative state rather than a process. In this paper we provide an extended understanding of the process of institutionalization by replacing the mechanical concept of diffusion by the concept of translation and an analytical model of "trevel of ideas". Analyzing the field material from three cases of t

The aim of this thesis was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of long-lasting upper extremity symptoms in a general population and to study some methodological aspects of outcome assessment and reporting, including validation of a Swedish version of an upper extremity region-specific outcome instrument that potentially could be useful for assessing upper extremity disorders. A gener

In this paper, the information extracted from Single-Input Multiple-Output sounding measurements is used to study the effect of several aspects of the receive antenna arrays on system performance. The extracted multipath parameters are used to synthesize the MIMO channel matrices of a hypothesized communication system having a fixed microcellular base-station and a handheld terminal moving through

Microdisks containing single, selected self-assembled quantum dots were fabricated and their optical properties were studied. Using two electron beam lithography exposures, the dots were positioned at the microdisks edges where the optical field reaches its maximum with sub-micron precision. High Q-values, in excess of 13000 were achieved and the coupling of the emission from single quantum dots t

In December 2004, the Indian Ocean Tsunami hit the shores of 13 countries and more than 280,000 people lost their lives. In Thailand, about 10,000 people died or are missing and approximately 8,500 people were injured. The exact number of how many died will never be known. This chapter deals, from a gender perspective, with the significance of Buddhism in the post-Tsunami recovery process in small

The formation of an oil drop from a single capillary in a continuous phase flowing perpendicular to the capillary opening has been studied numerically. The shear stress at the interface of the forming drop, the angular velocity inside the drop and the pressure field around the drop have been determined in a cross section of the drop formation area. The results show a maximum pressure in the contin
