Making and sharing the space among women and men : Some challenges for the South African church environment

The aim of this book is to explore how contemporary notions of reconciliation as a process of building, rebuilding and transforming relationships may be applied not only to “race” but also to gender relations in post-apartheid and post-TRC South Africa. After highlighting links between the past, the present and the future with regard to such relations in wider South African society, critical quest

Can Persistence be a Matter of Convention?

This paper asks whether persistence can be a matter of convention. It argues that in a rather unexciting de dicto sense persistence is indeed a matter of convention, but it rejects the notion that persistence can be a matter of convention in a more substantial de re sense. However, scenarios can be imagined that appear to involve conventional persistence of the latter kind. Since there are strong

Explaining socioeconomic inequalities in drug utilization for Sweden 2005-2006: Evidence from linked survey and register data

This study uses the Swedish register of prescribed drugs, merged with the Survey of Living Conditions (the ULF), to analyze the socioeconomic gradient in drug utilization. It finds a significant education gradient (but no income gradient) in individual drug utilization. Whereas the education gradient for men is quantitative in its orientation (education affects number of drugs used), the gradient

Antenna matching for capacity maximization in compact MIMO systems

As MIMO technology slowly matures, it is finding its way into more wireless applications. However, some important applications, including mobile communications, require compact implementations. One important challenge in miniaturizing MIMO systems for compact terminals is to overcome capacity performance degradation resulting from mutual coupling among closely separated antennas. In this contribut

Managing short-term efficiency and long-term development through industrialized construction

There is a strong need for a productive and innovative infrastructure sector because of its monetary value and importance for the development of a sustainable society. An increased level of industrialization is often proposed as a way to improve efficiency and productivity in construction projects. In prior literature on industrialized construction, there are however neither many studies addressin

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injury can be classified as traumatic and non-traumatic. The traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCI) are caused by motor vehicle accidents (56 %), falls (14 %), firearm and violence-related (16.6 %) and sports injuries (7 %) [1]. Injuries after falls and minor trauma are more commonly seen in elderly patients as they more often have spondylosis and osteoporosis. Violence is more common in
