Metoden ByggF-PST : Tillämpning av ByggaF på tillverkning av prefabricerade småhus i trä. Version 1.0

Metoden som presenteras i detta dokument är en tillämpning av ByggaF påprefabricerad småhustillverkning av hus med träbaserad stomme kallad:”ByggaF för Prefabricerade småhus med trästomme”, hädanefter omnämnd somByggaF-PST. ByggaF-PST är en metod som säkerställer, dokumenterar ochkommunicerar fuktsäkerheten i hela byggprocessen, från planering tillbruksskede. Metoden innebär ett arbetssätt för att

Attitudes matter : Perceptions towards welfare work with migrants in Swedish welfare organisations

This dissertation examines Swedish welfare workers’ attitudes towards migrants and migration, their perceptions of welfare work with migrants and organisational working conditions. The dissertation is based on original survey data capturing attitudes and views of welfare workers in two Swedish welfare organisations. The thesis’ conceptual framework draws on three perspectives: street-level bureauc

Inequalities in the economic consequences of depression and anxiety in Europe : a systematic scoping review

BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are associated with adverse outcomes in educational achievements and economic performances. Moreover, the prevalence of these disorders is unequally distributed among different population subgroups. Our objective is to investigate whether the economic consequences of depression and anxiety differ between population subgroups of different gender, socioeconomic sta

Experimental Philosophy, Ethnomethodology, and Intentional Action : A Textual Analysis of the Knobe Effect

In "Intentional action and side-effects in ordinary language” (2003), Joshua Knobe reported an asymmetry in test subjects’ responses to a question about intentionality: subjects are more likely to judge that a side effect of an agent’s intended action is intentional if they think the side effect is morally bad than if they think it is morally good. This result has been taken to suggest that the co

Defending popular sovereignty: discursive conflict in French and Swedish parliamentary debates on immigrant voting rights (1968-2017)

Through a discourse analysis of French and Swedish legislative debates from 1968 to 2017, this article examines how actors challenge and reinforce dominant ideas about the link between nationality and political rights. We argue that the broader political culture influences which discursive strategies—or “frames”—are more likely to structure parliamentary debates in different national contexts. How

Single-Cell Approaches for Understanding Morphogenesis Using Computational Morphodynamics

In multicellular organisms cells grow, divide and adopt different fates, resulting in tissues and organs with specific functions. In recent years, a number of studies have brought quantitative knowledge about how these processes are orchestrated, shedding new light on cells as active and central players in morphogenesis. We explore recent advances in understanding plant morphogenesis from a quanti

Cell type boundaries organize plant development

In plants the dorsoventral boundary of leaves defines an axis of symmetry through thecentre of the organ separating the top (dorsal) and bottom (ventral) tissues. Although thepositioning of this boundary is critical for leaf morphogenesis, how the boundary is established andhow it influences development remains unclear. Using live-imaging and perturbation experimentswe show that leaf orientation,

The Development of Sensorimotor Cognition in Common Ravens (Corvus corax) and its Comparative Evolution

Evolution involves developmental change. Species comparisons play an important role in comparative cognition because they can uncover common patterns and shared principles in cognitive evolution. Developmental studies reveal foundational elements of cognitive abilities and how they are constructed and integrated. Sensorimotor cognition is such a key element that forms the foundation for later-deve

Fluctuations of the transcription factor ATML1 generate the pattern of giant cells in the Arabidopsis sepal

Multicellular development produces patterns of specialized cell types. Yet, it is often unclear how individual cells within a field of identical cells initiate the patterning process. Using live imaging, quantitative image analyses and modeling, we show that during Arabidopsis thaliana sepal development, fluctuations in the concentration of the transcription factor ATML1 pattern a field of identic

The Long-Term Effects of Long Terms - Compulsory Schooling Reforms in Sweden

We evaluate the impact on earnings, pensions, and further labor market outcomes of two parallel educational reforms increasing instructional time in Swedish primary school. The reforms extended the annual term length and years of compulsory schooling by comparable amounts. We find striking differences in the effects of the two reforms: at 5% the returns to the term length extension were sizeable a

Spatio-temporal registration of 3D microscopy image sequences of arabidopsis floral meristems

The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is at the origin of all the plant above-ground organs (including stems, leaves and flowers) and is a biological object of interest for the understanding of plant morphogenesis. The quantification of tissue growth at a cellular level requires the analysis of 3D microscopic image sequences of developing meristems. To address inter-individual variability, it is also re

Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Rich Fuels : Production and Conversion to Electricity

Hydrogen has been proposed as an energy carrier in storage systems, fueled by excess electricity from volatile power production and re-electrified in times of electricity shortage. Unfortunately, these storage systems suffer from fairly poor return efficiencies. There is however a multitude of other production methods and usages that not seldom are intermixed with storage, creating possibilities f

Public Support for Sustainable Welfare Compared: Links between Attitudes towards Climate and Welfare Policies

The emerging concept of sustainable welfare attempts to integrate environmental sustainability and social welfare research. Oriented at a mid-term re-embedding of Western production and consumption norms into planetary limits, it suggests the development of “eco-social” policies in the rich countries. In this theoretical context, this article empirically investigates the relationships between atti
