National and International Benchmarking - CREDIT Report 6

This report summarises the work undertaken in the CREDIT project and proposals for how to implement the CREDIT framework. It is the final part of the Nordic/Baltic project CREDIT: Construction and Real Estate – Developing Indicators for Transparency. The report presents the objectives and the research model for CREDIT followed by a summary of the results of CREDIT Reports 2, 3, 4 and 5. The conclu

På gränsen till fattigvård? : En studie om arbetsmarknadspolitik och socialbidrag

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling fokuserar förändringar inom den arbetsmarknadspolitik som erbjuds arbetslösa socialbidragstagare mellan 1989 och 2002 i Sverige. Denna förändring beskrivs som en process där kommunerna tar allt mer ansvar för arbetsmarknadspolitiken. Denna grupp arbetslösa kategoriseras som en speciellt problematisk grupp och hänvisas till kommunerna. Detta sker utan tyThis dissertation focuses on changes in labour market policies that were provided for unemployed recipients of social assistance between 1989 and 2002 in Sweden. This change is described as a process where the municipalities gradually take greater responsibility for the labour market policies. This group of unemployed is categorized as a particularly problematic group and has been referred to the

"Låt inte spindelväven växa i ditt hjärta" -en forskningscirkel om poesins verkan för sjuksköterskor i palliativ vård

Den här rapporten presenterar ett aktionsforskningsprojekt i form av en poesicirkel med sjuksköterskor som arbetar med svårt sjuka och döende människor. Med hjälp av dikten så bearbetar de sina existentiella tankar och upplevelser. Poesin hjälper på så sätt sjuksköterskorna att ge känslorna ett språk. I den aktionsinriktade processen ger sjuksköterskorna uttryck för att poesin hjälper dem att få i

Exploring determinant factors for effective end-of-life vehicle policy: experiences from European end-of-life vehicle systems

Abstract in UndeterminedVehicles, symbolic goods of modern society, cause serious environmental impact in their endof-life phase owing to present end-of-life treatment practice and abandonment in nature. Theenormous volume of vehicle waste, and accompanying environmental impacts, encourageseeking an environmentally effective policy solution to control the problem of end-of-lifevehicles. This thesi

6 x Saudek. Aspekter på ett konstnärskap

6 x Saudek. Aspects of an Artist’s Work is about the Czech photographer Jan Saudek (b. 1935) and his pictures. The thesis deals with Saudek’s photography from the 1960s up to and including the 1990s and comprises six relatively self-contained chapters. Each chap-ter takes up a specific range of problems: they deal with issues concerning connections between photography and theatre (chapter 1); issu

On the lower limit of gesture

Where, if, and how, should researchers draw the limit between gesture proper and semiotically less complex forms of bodily conduct that do not quite qualify as gesture? This is the question of a lower limit of gesture (Andrén 2010). In accord with a comparative semiotic approach (Kendon 2008) I suggest that the question is best understood, not as a binary distinction between gesture and non-gestur

Robust stability analysis of linear systems with time-varying delays

Robust stability of linear systems in presence of bounded uncertain time-varying time delays is studied. The time delay robustness problem is treated in the Integral Quadratic Constraint framework. The stability criterion is formulated as a frequency dependent linear matrix inequality, or equivalently as a Semi-Definite Program (SPD). Therefore, the criterion can be checked efficiently by using va

Distribution and Effects of NO and CO in the Human Upper Respiratory Tract

Popular Abstract in Swedish Astma och hösnuva (allergisk rinit) är två närbesläktade sjukdomar som båda har sin grund i en långdragen, kronisk inflammation i luftvägsslemhinnan. Vid både astma och hösnuva har slemhinnan en benägenhet att reagera kraftigare än normalt på retningar (s.k. hyperreaktivitet). Inflammationen och hyperreaktiviteten regleras av hundratals olika signalsubstanser (mediatoreMucosal inflammation and airway hyperreactivity are regulated by hundreds of different mediators. The recent discovery of gaseous mediators, produced and active within the airways, opens new possibilities for identification of therapeutic targets and ways to monitor airway inflammation. This thesis is focused on two such mediators, nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) along with their role i
