This book chapter discusses intersectionality in relation to heteronormativity, and reminds readers of the non-white origins of intersectionality as a theoretical and political concept. The terms whiteness and heteronormativity are proposed as an excellent theoretical and political couple in contemporary scholarship.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att söka kunskap om vilka faktorer som bidrar till uppfostringsanstaltens framgång som social institution och dess ständiga misslyckande som behandlingsorganisation. Jag försöker förstå varför organisationer som §12-hem och särskilda ungdomshem finns och vilken betydelse de har i vårt samhälle. Svaret på den frågan söker jag på tre sätt: genom attThe aim of the present study is to find the factors and conditions that generate the success of the reformatory as a social institution and, at the same time, its well-known failure as a treatment organization. I try to understand why organizations like the reformatory exist and what meaning they have in our society. I seek answers by exploring the birth of the reformatory in a historical perspect

First results from a study into the abundance trends of oxygen in the Galactic thin and thick disks are presented. Oxygen abundances for 63nearby F and G dwarf stars, based on very high resolution spectra (R∼215 000) and high signal-to-noise (S/N>400) of the faint forbidden oxygen line at 6300Å, have been determined. Our findings can be summarized as follows: 1) at [Fe/H] 0 without showing the lev

Preface to a Swedish edition of "Poczta literacka" by Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska.

In stochastic time-frequency analysis, the covariance function is often estimated from only one observed realization with the use of a kernel function. For processes in continuous time, this can equivalently be done in the ambiguity domain, with the advantage that the mean square error optimal ambiguity kernel can be computed. For processes in discrete time, several ambiguity domain definitions ha

Popular Abstract in Swedish Dermatansulfat liksom kondroitinsulfat är ogrenade kolhydratkedjor som består av aminosockret N-acetylgalaktosamin samt uronsyrorna (sockersyrorna), glukuronsyra eller iduronsyra i repeterande enheter om par två och två. Dessa kedjor, som dessutom är bundna med en esterbindning till aminosyran serin på en proteinstam, kan bestå av nästan ett par hundra modifierade sockeDermatan sulphate is a prominent feature of several different proteoglycans and occurs in almost every tissue of the body. It is an unbranched polymer containing the repeating disaccharide unit of N-acetylgalactosamine and D-glucuronic acid or L-iduronic acid. The polymer can be highly sulphated resulting in an unusual and largely unknown diversity in the chain. The unique step in dermatan sulphat

This thesis investigates the role of migration in international trade within the framework of behind-the-border trade barriers and firm behavior. In addition to the introduction, which provides a context to the analysis, it consists of four essays. The first essay, titled ‘Migration as Trade Facilitation? Investigating the Links Between International Trade and Migration,’ examines the cross-countr

In this study the deactivation of Pt/wire mesh and vanadia/monolith catalysts by aerosol particles of some inorganic salts (K2SO4, KCl and ZnCl2) with high or low melting points has been investigated. The aerosol particles may either diffuse within the matrix of the catalysts and block the mezzo and micro pores, or deposit on the outer surface of the catalysts and form a porous layer causing a mas

We study various differential equations subject to constraints. In the first part we study a partial differential equation, Burgers equation, subject to time-periodicity constraint. The forcing term is time-periodic and may be highly irregular. We prove an existence and uniqueness result which in a sense is optimal since we show that the operator corresponding to the Burgers equation is a diffe

The shot noise behavior of sequential tunneling through two vertically coupled quantum dots is studied by means of a master equation approach. In particular, we propose a mechanism to observe super-Poissonian shot noise in such a system. The crucial ingredient is the Coulomb interaction between electrons in individual quantum dots.
