Konflikt, kontroll, expertis. Att använda social forskning

Under de senaste åren har det skett en dramatisk ökning av tillämpad samhällsforskning i Sverige. Författarna frågar sig hur all denna forskning använts och vilken funktion den har, särskilt i socialt arbete. Är den ett bidrag till hunsade och förnedrade människors frigörelse, eller befäster den bara deras underordning genom att skapa en expertis som legitimerar den rådande ordningen?

Conservation of energy and natural resources by recycling building waste

Recycling of building waste can considerably reduce the need for energy and natural resources and reduce the amount of material to landfill. Knowledge of the size of the annual conservation potential is important. The purpose of this study was to assess the conservation of energy and natural resources and the amount of material to landfill by recycling building waste in Sweden. Two recycling scena

On the interaction between the engineering design and the development process models - Part I: Elaborations on the generally accepted process models

Models of the engineering design process and of the development process nowadays present similar forms in the engineering design literature and interact in a similar way. These models are often presented as generic, in order to be used in a wide area of applications. This interaction is, however, not unproblematic, and in this publication we present some important issues and challenge the generic

Periodic INDO Calculations of Organic Adsorbates on a TiO2 Surface

A new parametrization for use in periodic semiempirical quantum-chemical INDO calculations is proposed. Parameter sets for C and N atoms are tested on a number of C- and N-containing molecules, giving reasonably good agreement with experimental data and/or ab initio results. The new parametrization is intended for studies of organic adsorbates on oxide surfaces using a periodic large unit cell (LU

Role of Neuropeptides and Neurotrophic Factors in Seizure Modulation

The presented thesis explores role of glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor family receptor a2 (GFRa2), as well as neuropeptide Y (NPY) and galanin and their receptors in modulation of seizure activity. We demonstrate that mice lacking the GFRa2 gene (GFRa2-/-) exhibit suppressed seizure generalization in traditional and rapid kindling models. We suggest that impaired basal excitatory transm

The use of market forces in social security: How insurance-like should social insurance be?

In this chapter two examples are presented were the Swedish legislator built market mecanisms into the unemployment insurance system and the pension system. The two market mecanisms were designed to make trade unions with high unemployment show restraint in collective wage bargaining and to make elderly people chose two postpone retirement. The aim of the legislation was to make the opposite choic
