This dissertation is about the development of power relations in the labour market, with special reference to Sweden under Social Democratic rule 1932-1976. The rate of unionisation and coverage of union workplace organisations are used as indicators of union strength. To get a picture of the power relations between the labour market parties, also the power resources of employers and their attitud

The article interrogates the meaning of terror in India, enacted through the recurring articulation of a particular logic of blame, via a specific focus on the train blasts in Mumbai in July 2006. The conceptual extent of 'violence as terror' is examined broadly: as boundaries erected to equal 'war on terror' with 'war on Muslim terror', as a purifying of the Indian 'Self', and as shifting thresho

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ateroskleros, ofta kallad åderförkalkning, är en sjukdom som påverkar stora och medelstora artärer såsom aorta, kranskärl, karotis och perifera artärer. Åderförkalkning i kranskärlen orsakar 70 % av dödsfallen hos dessa patienter och räknas som den främsta dödsorsaken i västvärlden. Cerebrovaskulär sjukdom orsakar 20 % av dödsfallen och är den tredje vanligaste dödsorsaAtherosclerosis is the leading cause of death and disability in the western world. Its clinical complications include acute myocardial infarction, sudden death and stroke. Thirty to 40 % of all ischemic strokes are caused by a carotid stenosis. The acute clinical event is triggered by an occluding thrombosis and even more frequently by embolization. Besides the degree of stenosis, the structure of

Perspectives on the Entangled History of Communism and Nazism. A Comnaz Analysis is an anthology raising questions about moral equivalalence and comparability when it comes to the Communist and National Socialist dictatorships. The authors in the book analysis the entanglement of Communism and Nazism both as historical subjects and as historical and social memories.

Regression testing is expensive and may consume much of organizations’ software development budgets. Thus, it is of interest to reduce the total time devoted to test execution by using test selection techniques. Many techniques have been proposed but few have been evaluated on real-world, large scale systems. In this paper we report on an empirical evaluation of using the class firewall regression

Popular Abstract in Swedish Biotekniska läkemedel blir allt vanligare och behandlar några av våra viktigaste sjukdomar. Några exempel är insulin för diabetes, tillväxthormon, vacciner, och antikroppar som används i behandling av bland annat cancer, rheumatism och mag- tarmsjukdomar. Dessa läkemedel är proteiner eller peptider som tillverkas i jäst eller djurceller och sedan måste utvinnas ur celleTo design efficient and safe biopharmaceutical production processes, understanding the process and how it is affected by changes in the process conditions is essential. Experimental data form the basis of this understanding which can be enhanced by modeling and simulations of the physical and chemical processes known to control the process. This thesis describes modeling of preparative chromatogra

Polyphosphoinositides, the different phosphorylated variants of the phospholipid phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), are used in a wide array of intracellular mechanisms in eukaryotic cells. The phosphorylation of PtdIns at carbon D4, catalyzed by phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase, is an important step in the synthesis of several of these molecules. The presence of different isoenzymes of PtdIns 4-kinase i

This essay reflects on issues of contemporaneity and on the possibilities and limitations to pass judgment on the time you live in. The essay won first prize in HSFR's essay contest for young Ph.D. students in 1998.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling analyseras olika typer av stabilitets fenomen. Först studeras det kvasi-statiska uppförandet av en elastisk struktur som lastas med en växande last. Beteenden vid laster som är högre än bucklingslasten studeras med en vägföljande metod där gränspunkter (limit-points) och bifurkationspunkter kan bestämmas med god noggrannhet och jämviktslösningarna kanIn this thesis different kinds of stability phenomena are analysed. Firstly the quasi-static behaviour of an elastic structure is studied for increasing loading. The post-buckling behaviour is studied numerically with a path-following method where limit points and bifurcation points can be determined with good accuracy and the solutions may be followed out on the secondary branches. Secondly, an a
