The chapter outlines how nature and health are employed in the commodification of ritual healing in late modern Sweden. New ritualized practices have developed which are aimed at the modern man. How do these new rituals connect to health and nature and how are tradition, body, mind, place and locality represented within these practices?

A chapter on societal, individual and socioeconomic consequences of long term unemployment and unfinished education among marginalised youth.

This paper presents two systems of temporal logic, \Lambda_{CPT} and \Lambda_{CPT@}, with ceteris paribus modalities. The principal aim is to show how this approach can be useful to give an ockhamist solution to the future contingents problem along the same lines of A. Prior. The interest of this work lies also in the fact that \Lambda_{CPT@} represents an alternative modal account of supervaluati

Jordens medeltemperatur bör inte höjas mer än högst 2 grader till år 2050. Det är ett mål som Sverige har ställt sig bakom. Om vi ska lyckas med detta måste vi drastiskt minska våra utsläpp av koldioxid och andra växthusgaser. Forskningsprogrammet LETS arbetar med frågor som: Vilken politisk styrning och institutionell förändring krävs? Vilka hinder finns och vilka är möjligheterna på vägen mot de

Objective: To explore whether clinical balance and gait tests can predict instability (falls and/or near falls) in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD).Background: Current PD-studies suggest that multiple balance tests should be used in order to predict falls. However, few studies have included near falls when investigating falls prospectively as recommended.Methods: The study included 74 people w

Queen Christina's of Sweden three letters to countess Ebba Sparre, written 1655 - 1657, are analyzed in relation to two epistolary models, the "lettre galante" and "la lettre d'amour" as they were understood by aristocrats and feminists in France in the 17th Century. Christina wrote both accordingly the "galante" model" and to the "lettre d'amour" model, but specifically to the male type of the "l

I denna antologi av nio svenska lyriker presenterar Henry Diab och Jalil Haidar ett urval av dikter från 90-talet i arabisk tolkning. De nio lyrikerna är: Fredrik Ekelund, Susanna Roxman, Niklas Törnlund, Bodil Malmsten, Inga-Lina Lindqvist, Karin Lentz, Magnus Florin, Jacques Werup och Michael Economou. Tolkningen är från svenska till arbiska förutom Susanna Roxmans dikter, som är tolkade från en

In β-decay experiments on 9C at CERN/ISOLDE the β-strength was determined to the ground state, the 12.2 MeV excited state and the Isobaric Analog State (IAS) at 14.655 MeV in 9B. A large β-strength asymmetry is deduced for the mirror transitions of 9C and 9Li to states around 12 MeV excitation energy. A satisfactory description of the three-body decay from a narrow energy region around the 12.2 Me

The combustion and melt dripping of poly(ethylene-co-butyl acrylate) (EBA), EBA blended with polypropylene (EBAePP) and poly (ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA), each blended with calcium carbonate and polydimethylsiloxane, were studied. In situ measurement of the temperature gradient in the cone calorimeter were combined with infrared spectroscopy measurements on specimens withdrawn and quenche
