Popular Abstract in Swedish Författaren utarbetar och försvarar en version av kantiansk etik som utgår från Kants tanke att det enda som har absolut värde är den goda viljan och att det högsta goda för människor därmed består i dygd samt lycka i proportion till dygd. Avhandlingen består av två huvudsakliga delar, dels en allmän genomgång av vad det innebär att vara en person, dvs en varelse som inThis work seeks to develop a Kantian ethical theory in terms of a general ontology of values and norms together with a metaphysics of the person that makes sense of this ontology. It takes as its starting point Kant’s assertion that a good will is the only thing that has an unconditioned value and his accompanying view that the highest good consists in virtue and happiness in proportion to virtue.

A review of the literature is presented. Congenital renal and urinary tract anomalies are described, and the possible consequences of detecting them in utero are discussed. Prenatal detection of lethal anomalies affords the parents the option of terminating the pregnancy. If termination of pregnancy is not an acceptable option for the parents, the antenatal knowledge of lethal fetal anomaly helps

Southern Africa suffers from an acute lack in skilled capacities for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The region, with its unique disaster risk profile, is mostly bound by its inability to effect change and transformation for sustainable development and resilience building. Reasons for these limitations are largely due to the lack of capacities in disaster risk reduction with

Many proteins in bovine milk exhibit specific biological activity in addition to their established nutritional value as source of protein. Examples of such bioactive proteins are extracellular glutathione peroxidase, lactoferrin and immunoglobulins. Extracellular glutathione peroxidase (eGSHPx) fulfils an antioxidative function, immunoglobulins are antimicrobial, and it has been suggested that lac

This is a detailed guide on the principles of cognitive therapy as they are applied to problems of emotion (anxiety, sadness, anger), skill (assertiveness, problem-solving), and general confidence in children and adolescents. The title is slightly misleading in the sense that there is little in the book that specifically relates to how this treatment would be applied in school settings by school p

It is well known that dielectrics with the reconstruction of zone structure (Pb1-xSnxTe, for example) have two-dimensional layers with a specific electron properties. A corresponding relativistic model has been discussed, in particular, by B.A. Volkov and O.A. Pankratov (1985). The general nature of the effect under consideration can be demonstrated by in a simple model setting, and the aim here i

This document is a survey of the longterm deformations of building materials. A description of these deformations, common to all the materials, is given. The following materials are considered: concrete, cellular concrete, wood, fìberboard, partícle board, plywood, and to a lesser extent polymers and aluminium. The influences of time, stress, temperature and moisture are discussed.

Abstract in Undetermined Resultat visar att aga och känslokyla hade förekommit i större utsträckning i migränikernas uppväxtmiljö, skriver Bertil Persson, Psykologiska institutionen i Lund, apropå sin avhandling om genetiskt inflytande, uppväxtförhållanden och personlighet i migränfamiljen.

När Ingmar Brohed 1975 undersökte prostmötets framväxt saknades originalprotokoll från Göteborgs stift. De återfanns av förf. 1990. Likväl är hans beskrivning i stort sett korrekt. Protokollen vidgar dock avsevärt kunskapen om vilka frågor som behandlades. Prostmötet i Göteborgs stift fick under biskop Blocks tid (1929-48) aldrig en så fast och regelbunden organisation som mötet i Lunds stift reda

Pattern reconfigurability is a desirable feature of mobile handset antennas, as it enables the antennas to adapt to non-stationary propagation environments. However, it is difficult to vary the radiation pattern of a handset antenna at frequencies below 1 GHz because the entire chassis commonly acts as the main radiator. Hence, designing pattern reconfigurability based on the antenna element (seco
