Popular Abstract in Swedish Förhållandet mellan utrikespolitik och demokrati har behandlats inom statsvetenskapen i hundratals år. En vanlig uppfattning har varit att behandlingen av utrikespolitiska frågor svårligen kan ske i demokratiska former. Inom utrikespolitiken har riksdagen traditionellt en svagare ställning gentemot regeringen än i inrikespolitiska frågor. I fokus för denna avhandling sThe increasing internationalization puts new demands on national democracy and national parliamentarism. The questions posed in this dissertation are if the parliamentary model for domestic policy or the parliamentary model for foreign policy is the most relevant when describing the role of the Swedish Riksdag (parliament) in European Union (EU) matters, and whether there have been any changes dur

How are musical traditions of minorities integrated in education and the public music life? Can music facilitate transcultural dialogue? And to what extent do musical practice and performance reassert the own cultural tradition in a foreign environment? Answers to those and similar questions as well as a review on what can be observed in the 21st century Europe are gathered in various thematic app

The study examines the character and development of anti-Jewish thinking as manifested in public discourse in Sweden in the post-war era. Using newspapers, periodicals and other publications as source material, the study seeks to uncover the continuity, discontinuity and renewal of anti-Jewish discourse by analysing the reactions to the assassination of the Swedish UN envoy Folke Bernadotte in Isr

When decision on repair has been taken the available repair systems/methods must be evaluated with regard to the immediate requirements. For each type and cause of damage, there are normally only a few possible repair systems. These repair systems should be evaluated with regard to following 5 basic properties, or characteristics: 1) service life/durability, 2) structural stability/safety, 3) exec

Popular Abstract in English Technological devices in our society are used on a daily basis. The speed in processing jobs and the memory capacity are two key parameters used to set their prices. The information is encoded with a binary system physically implemented on semiconductor circuits, where the bit 1 corresponds to a finite voltage and the bit 0 to zero voltage. In order to increase the speThis thesis aims to contribute to the field of time controlled charge and energy transport in mesoscopic systems. In Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 a short review of the scattering matrix theory is presented, including both charge and energy transport, useful to understand the mathematical landscape used in Papers I, II, III and IV. Chapter 3 briefly presents the thermoelectric properties of m

In a radical departure from conventional historical accounts of China’s recent history, this paper (the original working title of which was “The Great Leap Forward and All that Shit”) adopts an absurdist approach to what the conference organizers in their call for papers call “images and fragments of the past… produced and distributed by the dictatorial actors and then consumed by the mass.” Inste

Writing a contract with a specific content is a ground for purchase, purchase is a ground for ownership, ownership is a ground for power to dispose. Also power to dispose is a consequence of ownership, ownership is a consequence of purchase. etc. The paper presents a continuation of the authors' previous algebraic representation on ground - consequence chains in normative systems.The paper analyze

Varför vet alla med svenska som modersmål att det heter "en intressant bok" och inte "en bok intressant"? Det beror på vår fantastiska, inre grammatik. Insikten om hur man uttrycker sig på modersmålet är något som barnet lär sig under de första levnadsåren, och redan i treårsåldern behärskar barnet huvuddelen av de omedvetna regler och principer som styr hur meningarna i modersmålet är uppbyggda.

An improved conventional-to-micro/minichannel threshold was proposed as Bo = 4 and BoRe(1)(0.5) = 200, where Bo is the Bond number and Re-1 is the liquid Reynolds number. The region Bo < 4 and BoRe(1)(0.5) < 200 is termed as micro/minichannel because bubbles tend to be confined and elongated in the channel and the conventional two-phase flow theory loses its applicability. Flow-pattern based heat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Djur och människor exponeras hela tiden för virus, bakterier och andra parasiter. Många av dessa virus och bakterier är ofarliga, medan andra orsakar infektioner och gör oss sjuka. När ett djur smittas av t.ex. ett virus eller en bakterie som orsakar en infektion börjar deras immunförsvar direkt arbetet med att bli av med infektionen. Den första reaktionen som följer påPathogen challenges and host immune defenses can have substantial impact on life history patterns of animals. Biotic and abiotic factors may affect immunity in wild animals, influencing e.g., population dynamics and sexual selection. The overall aim of this thesis was to assess costs and benefits of immune system activation on physiology, behavior and offspring phenotype. The conducted research ha

Popular Abstract in Swedish Rätten till domstolsprövning är en grundläggande rättighet som förekommer i alla demokratiska stater. Utgångspunkten är att alla har rätt att få sina tvister prövade av en domstol i ett förfarande som uppfyller vissa kvaliteter, en rättvis rättegång, och att staten har ett ansvar att tillhandahålla förutsättningar för sådana tvistlösningsförfaranden inför domstol. DäremOne of the most fundamental rights in any democratic state is the right of access to court. Every individual shall have the right to bring legal disputes before a court, in a proceeding with specifically defined characteristics, a fair trial, and the state is responsible for supplying the conditions and prerequisites to carry out this dispute resolution process in a court of law. However, this rig

The European Research Training Network ”Women in European Universities” investigates women’s career opportunities in higher education. In seven European countries (Austria, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) women’s position and career perspectives within the systems of higher education are analyzed. Main focus of the project is the ”glass ceiling” that women encounter
