Att utgå från att fattigdomen kan minska om tiggeri förbjuds är ett logiskt felslut. Det enda sakliga argumentet för ett förbud i Cecilia Magnussons debattartikel den 13/8 är att det skulle råda bot på det obehag det innebär för allmänheten att se armodet. Det vore ärligare att ange detta som skäl, skriver etikdoktoranden Jerker Karlsson.

The purpose of this thesis is to obtain microlocal analogues of results by L. Hörmander about inclusion relations between the ranges of first order differential operators with smooth coefficients which fail to be locally solvable. Using similar techniques, we shall study the properties of the range of classical pseudo-differential operators of principal type which fail to satisfy condition (ψ).

OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of gestational age on lactate concentration in arterial and venous umbilical cord blood at birth and to define gestational age-specific reference values for lactate in vigorous newborns. DESIGN: Population-based comparative. SETTING: University hospitals. SAMPLE: Vigorous newborns with validated umbilical cord blood samples. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From 2000 to 2004

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: There is an ongoing controversy about the significance of tonsillar ectopia among patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). AIM: To find out if tonsillar ectopia occurs more frequently among patients with IS and if it plays any etiological or prognostic role in IS. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 155 consecutive spine MRIs (79 patients wit

Risk management is increasingly used in dam safety and includes risk analysis, risk evaluation and risk reduction. Structural Reliability Analysis (SRA) is a probabilistic methodology that may be used in the risk assessment process. SRA has been frequently used for calibration of partial factors in limit state design codes for structures (not dams). In a reliability analysis a mathematical descrip

Review of Lars Ersgård (ed), “Modernitet och arkeologi" (Stockholm 2007).

Discussion of the why and how of keeping up the agnostic (not atheistic) character of academic exegesis, and the effects of having an insider or outsider perspective (bias) on the matters explored in this discipline.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate long-run cost-effectiveness in a Swedish setting for liraglutide compared with sulphonylureas (glimepiride) or sitagliptin, all as add-on to metformin for patients with type 2 diabetes insufficiently controlled with metformin in monotherapy. Methods: The IHE Cohort Model of Type 2 Diabetes was used to evaluate clinical and economic outcomes from a societal perspecti

On Gotland medieval ruins and unfinished churches bear witness of a Golden Age, which suddenly was interrupted. With the enormous chancel ofKällunge as a point of departure I ask, why medieval Gotland declined. Hitherto the explanations have been a shift in the transit trade in the late 13th C., the civil war between Visby and the countryside in 1288, the Pla- gue of 1350, the invasion by the Dan
