Popular Abstract in Swedish Västeuropeiska stater har blivit alltmer mångkulturella. Migrationsflöden från fattigare delar av välden har bidragit till att länder som tidigare uppfattade sig själva som homogena, uppvisar en allt högre grad av kulturella, etniska och religiösa olikheter. Förespråkare för mångkulturalism har argumenterat att ett sätt att hantera gruppers olikheter är att tolerera derWestern European states are faced by societies with increasing ethnic, cultural and religious diversity as a result of migration flows. Advocates of multiculturalism have tried to address these potential challenges by advocating the accommodation of minorities within the recipient society. This study argues that the normative and practical measures suggested by multiculturalists tend to be de-cont

Sveriges väg till medlemskap i Bretton Woods-organisationerna (Valutafonden och Världsbanken) har hittills i det närmaste legat försänkt i historisk skugga. Den vägen sträcker sig från 1943, när de allierade valutaplanerna för efterkrigstiden presenterades, och fram till 1951, när Sverige gick med i det internationella valutasamarbetet. I den här artikeln beskrivs de viktigaste händelserna, aktöre

Quantum-beat signals can also be observed when the length of the exciting pulse is not short compared to the Bohr precession period if spontaneous decays during the pulse are important. Experimental demonstration for Zeeman quantum beats in the 6s6p 3P1-6s21S0 ytterbium transition, as well as a simple description of the phenomenon is given. In the same way as quantum beats can be obtained for cohe

This nationwide study aimed to determine whether differences exist in age-specific and sex-specific familial risks for pulmonary embolism (PE), venous thrombosis of the lower limbs (VT) and other forms of venous thromboembolism (OVTE) among offspring, siblings and spouses of affected individuals. The Swedish Multi-Generation Register was linked to the Hospital Discharge Register data for the perio

PURPOSE: To investigate the role that both patient and outpatient factors related to health care practice (HCP) play in physicians' early adoption of rosuvastatin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Generalized estimation equations (GEEs) and alternating logistic regression (ALR) with pair-wise odds ratios (PWORs) were used to measure similarities in rosuvastatin prescription within HCPs for all individuals w

Recent literature on L2 vocabulary testing points to a move away from discrete vocabulary testing towards more embedded and integrative approaches. This paper investigates if the way vocabulary is currently tested at English departments at Swedish universities follows this trend. The survey shows that a great majority of universities use discrete and selective vocabulary tests and that the multipl

Determining vaccine dose-level protection is essential to minimize program costs and increase mass vaccination program feasibility. Currently, a 3-dose vaccination schedule is recommended for both the quadrivalent and bivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. Although the primary goal of HPV vaccination programs is to prevent cervical cancer, condyloma related to HPV types 6 and 11 is also pre
