The Dilemma of Law: An Examination of Cotrovertial Judicial Decisions in Ethno-Culturally Based Legal Disputes

In October 1989, a 24-year-old Kurdish immigrant from Iraq was brought before the Sandviken Lower Court in Sweden charged with assaulting, coercing and threatening his pregnant ex-girlfriend who had left him to live with another man. Although, the court found the defendant guilty as charged, it nevertheless released him on a suspended sentence and a fine of 3000 Swedish Kronor. Conviction on this

DEN FÖRSVUNNA HISTORIEN. Förintelsen i tjeckisk och slovakisk historiekultur

The main focus of this study is the place of the Holocaust in the Czech and Slovak historical cultures during ”the long 1990s”, i.e. between the fall of the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia at the end of 1989 and the entry of both the Czech and Slovak Republics into the European Union in 2004. When morality and conscience have been placed in the centre of new European politics instead of ideolog

Choral Research 1960-2010 : Bibliography

This choral research bibliography has been compiled on commission from Körcentrum Syd with the aim of mapping choral research in Sweden and globally. Since one of the goals of Körcentrum Syd's activity is to strengthen choral vitality and choral research in the region as well as to develop these on a national level, a need to map choral research and its status quo has been formulated. This is part

Restarting algorithms for simulation problems with discontinuities

Modelica has in its language support for describing discontinuities; so-called events. Modern integrating environments; like Assimulo; provide elaborated event detection and event handling methods. In addition; the overall performance of a simulation of models with discontinuities (hybrid models) depends strongly on methods for restarting integration after event detection. The presented paper revi

Machinability variations in Alloy 718 —With focus on machining of turbine components

Popular Abstract in English You may have never heard of gas turbine engines, but they are used in all kinds of un¬expected places. For example, many of the helicopters you see, a lot of s¬maller power plants and even the military vehicle use gas turbines. A gas turbine consists of a compressor, a combustion chamber and a turbine. Air is taken into the compressor and mechanically compressed. It isIn gas turbine engine, nickel base alloy, such as Alloy 718, accounts for almost half of the total material requirement. Nickel-base superalloys are used for gas turbine components mainly because of their outstanding strength and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures (> 550°C). The massive cost involved with the machining of nickel alloys has driven continued research and development of cut

Chemical magnetoreception: Bird cryptochrome 1a is excited by blue light and forms long-lived radical-pairs

Cryptochromes (Cry) have been suggested to form the basis of light-dependent magnetic compass orientation in birds. However, to function as magnetic compass sensors, the cryptochromes of migratory birds must possess a number of key biophysical characteristics. Most importantly, absorption of blue light must produce radical pairs with lifetimes longer than about a microsecond. Cryptochrome 1a (gwCr

Basic materials in the low carbon society transition

For the production of basic materials a deep decarbonization fundamentally requires the development of new process technologies. However, the climate policies currently adopted in G8 countries mainly reward incremental improvements and preserve industrial structures rather than induce innovation and preparations for a low-carbon transition. The current policy approach is motivated by fear of carbo

Head teachers cought in the middle or on top of things.

I antologin In Tension between Organization and Profession diskuterar en rad svenska och skandinaviska forskare olika vardagsproblem som individer i offentlig verksamhet upplever. Varför tycks sjukfrånvaro och utbrändhet ständigt öka samtidigt som resurserna inom offentlig sektor blir allt mindre? Är det förresten en bild som stämmer? I denna antologi sätts individen i centrum; det är individens r

Advanced PID Control

The authors of the best-selling book PID Controllers: Theory, Design, and Tuning once again combine their extensive knowledge in the PID arena to bring you an in-depth look at the world of PID control. A new book, Advanced PID Control builds on the basics learned in PID Controllers but augments it through use of advanced control techniques. Design of PID controllers are brought into the mainstream

Human Dendritic Cells and the Regulation of Allergic Immune Responses

Dendritic cells (DC) are a heterogeneous lineage of bone-marrow-derived leukocytes that serve as the link between innate and adaptive immunity. They are professional antigen-presenting cells that play an important protective and regulatory role in both health and disease. This thesis is based upon six original papers that deal with the function and transcription of human DCs, with focus on their r

A study of dedications to Aphrodite from Greek magistrates

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utifrån epigrafiska källor analyserar avhandlingen Afrodites roll som ämbetsmannabeskyddarinna. Huvudmaterialet är 62 dedikationer till Afrodite: inskrifter från ämbetsmän eller dedikationer där gudinnan presenteras med ett epitet som alluderar på ett ämbete, t.ex. Afrodite Strategis, ‘Strategernas Afrodite’. Materialet visar att Afrodite dyrkades av ämbetsmän på ett paThrough the identification of a series of inscriptions, mainly datable to the Hellenistic era, a link between Aphrodite and the civic life and administration of the Greek poleis has come to light. The inscriptions in question are dedications to Aphrodite through which magistrates of various cities and varying status express their devotion to the goddess. In certain dedications, the goddess is even
