Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna studie är att försöka förklara varför araméen Laban, vilken i Bibeln (Genesis) framstår som en ganska harmlös bifigur, i rabbinsk litteratur i allmänhet betraktas som en av Jakobs och därmed Israels stora fiender. Avhandlingen hävdar att bilden av Laban som en skurk utvecklats som ett resultat av rabbinsk hermeneutik och att de egenskaper som tillskrivsThis study attempts to answer the question of why Laban the Aramean, a rather harmless character as presented in the biblical text, is generally portrayed in rabbinic literature as a major enemy of Jacob and Israel. It is argued that the portrait of Laban as a villain developed as a result of rabbinic hermeneutics, and that the characteristics which are attributed to him in rabbinic literature wer

Mellanstatliga organisationer är självklara inslag i den internationella miljön. Organisationerna ger stadga åt internationellt samarbete och skapar nödvändiga diskussionsforum där stater och andra aktörer kan lösa gemensamma problem. Sverige, via politiker, parlamentariker och tjänstemän, är aktivt i mängder av mellanstatliga organisationer, och arbetet i dem får ofta stor genomslagskraft. Trots

The aim of this article was to analyze the retold experiences of 27 survivors from the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I have examined verbal markers of reconciliation and implacability and I have analyzed described terms for reconciliation that are being actualized in the narratives. In the narratives of those interviewed, implacability is the prominent them, but the possibility of reconcili

Two things strike the eye in the literature and debate on the impact of agricultural research. Firstly, it is not unsurprisingly dominated by economists using cost-benefit analysis. Secondly and more surprisingly, much space is devoted to the discussion of counterfactuals, i.e. by an argument of the type: “If this research had not been made, yield development (or whatever indicator) would have bee

Popular Abstract in English The work presented here is about methods that will enable more precise estimates of soil and rock parameters related to seismic hazard mapping, in particular when resources are limited. This will allow for evaluating the seismic risk in countries where earthquakes are frequent and large budgets are not available. Particularly, the study of ground response due to the eneIn sites where earthquakes occur, the use of surface wave methods represents a convenient and effective procedure for soil characterization. In particular, Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave (MASW) has become a popular tool in many seismic micro-zoning projects. In common practice the active MASW method is implemented using a sledgehammer source and a linear receiver spread. This method is lim

This paper presents a novel partial assignment technique (PAT) that decides which tasks should be assigned to the same resource without explicitly defining assignment of these tasks to a particular resource. Our method simplifies the assignment and scheduling steps while imposing a small or no penalty on the final solution quality. This technique is specially suited for problems which have differe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens utgångspunkt är att sociala rörelser bör betraktas som politiska aktörer och samhälleliga uttryck för den under moderniteten centrala föreställningen om autonomi, det vill säga politiskt självstyre. För att förstå de sociala rörelsernas förhållande till politiken i stort bör man därför sätta dem i samband med dels moderniteten i sig, dels de avgörande föräA basic premise of this dissertation is that social movements are political and social actors expressing the centrality of autonomy in modernity. To grasp the nature of the relation between politics and social movements, the latter has to be related to the profound transformation in the forms of politics implied by the breakthrough of modernity, and the subsequent transformations within modernity.

Mutations in four autosomal dominant (SNCA, LRRK2, VPS35, EIF4G1) and three recessive genes (PARK2, PINK1, PARK7/DJ1) are known to cause Parkinson disease (PD). This chapter describes the clinical and pathological phenotypes associated with mutations in these genes. We systematically reviewed the phenotypes associated with all known pathogenic mutations in the dominant genes. SNCA point mutations
