Within a course in academic writing, first-term students of English currently construct individualized study-plans detailing both what they should do during the term and when they should do it. Students calculate the average workload for all their courses, and include in their study-plans all the hours they should spend both in and outside the classroom on each course, totalling in 40-hour working

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens utgångspunkt är att sociala rörelser bör betraktas som politiska aktörer och samhälleliga uttryck för den under moderniteten centrala föreställningen om autonomi, det vill säga politiskt självstyre. För att förstå de sociala rörelsernas förhållande till politiken i stort bör man därför sätta dem i samband med dels moderniteten i sig, dels de avgörande föräA basic premise of this dissertation is that social movements are political and social actors expressing the centrality of autonomy in modernity. To grasp the nature of the relation between politics and social movements, the latter has to be related to the profound transformation in the forms of politics implied by the breakthrough of modernity, and the subsequent transformations within modernity.

Speech recognition is available on ordinary personal computers and is starting to appear in standard software applications. A known problem with speech interfaces is their integration into current graphical user interfaces. This paper reports on a prototype developed for studying integration of speech into graphical interfaces aimed towards programming of industrial robot arms. The aim of the prot

Hälsopsykologi är ett ungt, dynamiskt och snabbt växande forsknings-, utbildnings- och tillämpningsområde. Hälsopsykologin är relevant för praktiskt taget allt som har med hälsa och sjukdom att göra. I flera ämnesområden, som medicin, rehabiliterings- och vårdvetenskap, har hälsopsykologiska teorier, t.ex. om stress och stresshantering, integrerats och praktiserats. Hälsopsykologen som forskare stPresents the first unified account of health psychology in Swedish. Topics treated include: What is health psychology? The “classical definition”. “Body” and “soul”.

Overall the survey showed a very strong faith in alliances with a strategic perspective. There was an equal strong belief in soft variables around alliance success, such as leadership, trust and cultural issues. But as it turns out what really matters are arduous factors such as operations, middle management and formalized routines, processes and responsibilities. All evidence also points to the f

In the development and evaluation of alternative ionomers, the membrane development and ex situ characterization have been the focus of interest. The properties of a MEA are dependent on the composition of materials in the components, i.e. membrane, electrodes and gas diffusion layers, and the interaction between these parts. The complexity of water transport in different components is one example

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka det strukturella underlaget för förslagen att makrofager och gaserna kvävemonooxid (NO) och kolmonoxid (CO), som bildas av kvävemonooxidsyntaser (NOS) respektive hemeoxygenaser (HO), är viktiga för att en perifer nerv ska regenerera. Det finns stöd för dessa hypoteser eftersom andra har visat att förhållanden som stör den invThe purpose of this study was to investigate the suggestions that macrophages, and the systems generating nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), i.e. nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and heme oxygenases (HO), could be important for peripheral nerve regeneration. Immunocytochemistry was used to visualise invading and resident macrophages, inducible NOS (iNOS), two isoforms of HO (HO-1 and HO-2),
