Kristinas självbild präglades av föreställningen "theatrum mundi", hennes jaguppfattning kan karakteriseras som ett rollspel. I artikeln klargörs de olika litterära mönster hon hade för själporträtten i självbiografi, bl a Plutarkos Alexanderbiografi

his article examines three critical perspectives in green political theory arguing that environmental governance is emerging as an increasingly scientised and technocratic domain. These are contrasted with work under the banner of 'civic expertise' proposing increased citizen deliberation and participation in the scientific realm to reverse the technocratic features of environmental management.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I sökandet efter den rådande fostrings- och disciplineringsdiskursen i svensk skola åren 1947-1956 har Michel Foucaults diskursanalys utgjort en central utgångspunkt i denna avhandling. Jag har inledningsvis redogjort för modernitetens genombrott i Sverige och kort belyst befolkning och utbildning vid mitten av 1900-talet. Skolan som disciplineringsinstitution har beskThe purpose of this monograph is to discern what constituted the dominant fostering and discipline discourse in Swedish compulsory schools during the period 1947-1956. For this purpose Michel Foucault's discourse analysis has played a central role in this thesis. As a starting point, an account of the emergence of modernity in Sweden is given, as well as a brief presentation of the Swedish populat

Chronic inflammation is together with excessive contraction of the airways key features of asthma. The aims of the thesis were to analyze the effect of inflammatory mediators on airway smooth muscle, using an in vitro model of cultured murine airways. Additionally, nasal administration of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to allergic patients was used to evaluate the contribution of LPS to pulmonary infla

Here I am focussing on a certain aspect of this discourse of conflicting values, namely, to what extent the antimonetary Romanticism directly confronts the doctrines of Political Economy, the di

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi går mot ett mer och mer energikrävande samhälle. För att klara ett ökande behov av energi med de begränsande naturresurser som finns på jorden, har ett forskningsprojekt, som denna avhandling är en del av, som mål att utveckla artificiell fotosyntes. Den naturliga fotosyntesen använder sig av solljus för att omvandla koldioxid och vatten till energirika produkter såsThe work in thesis aims for artificial photosyntesis, which could and will mimic natural photosynthesis, the process that uses light to create energy rich compounds from H2O and CO2. Water is oxidized in Photosystem II (PSII) by the Water Oxidizing Complex (WOC), which is a catalytic site on the lumenal side of the thylakoid membrane. The chlorophyll complex P680 absorbs light and electrons are tr

Ledord som opartiskhet, saklighet och objektivitet är vanligt förekommande i det rättsliga språket. Medan aktörer inom rättsväsendet gärna likställer denna orubbliga idé med en objektiv juridisk praktik, har forskare och andra aktörer hävdat att rättslig prövning långt ifrån alltid sker i en värderingsfri process – dvs. där juridiskt ovidkommande faktorer som kön, klass, etnicitet saknar betydelse

This paper presents the characterization of forced cooling channels with three different shapes which are applied in traction motors mounted in Hybrid Vehicles (HEVs) or Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs). Generally, there are two different positions of forced cooling channels in electric motors. One way is by drilling holes or cutting cooling channels inside the housing, which is called indirect cooli
