Popular Abstract in English Reel Socialism considers the representation of the communist past in Czech and German cinema after the end of communist rule. The study offers in-depth analyses of numerous feature films, from Oscar-winning box-office hits to half-forgotten art-house offerings. It takes account of the films’ historical and political contexts and thus provides a comprehensive assessment This thesis is a comparative study of the communist past as depicted in Czech and German feature films since 1989, or ‘reel socialism’. It is the first detailed study of post-1989 Czech history films and the first comparative study of German post-reunification cinema. It demonstrates that cinema has been a vehicle of similar sense-making processes in the two history cultures. Much of the research

The adsorption of 0.2 monolayers (ML) of Na on Al(100) has been studied both experimentally, using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and high resolution core level spectroscopy (HRCLS), and theoretically, using density functional theory (DFT). Two ordered phases are found: Islands of c (2×2) symmetry with Na atoms occupying four-fold hollow sites result from low temperature deposition and a (

Popular Abstract in Swedish Personer drivs inte enbart av djuriska instinkter, utan de är även språkliga och existentiellt medvetna varelser, vars upplevelser och handlingar är fyllda av subjektiv mening. Att förstå en människa som en person är att förstå honom eller henne som ett rationellt system som har viljor, rädslor, förhoppningar, trosföreställningar, och andra sätt att ge sin värld mening,Persons are not just mechanical systems of instinctual animalistic proclivities, but also language-producing, existentially aware creatures, whose experiences and actions are drenched in subjective meaning. To understand a human being as a person is to understand him or her as a rational system that wants, fears, hopes, believes, and in other ways imbues the world with meaning, rather than just a

The adoption of innovation is a multifaceted and dynamic phenomenon. It occurs as a result of the interplay between structural influences and agents' activities. Although existing studies on innovation have recognised the importance of theories that link the structure, the macro level, and agency, the micro level, in explaining changes over time, few theoretical accounts support the integrations o

The history of the concept "vetenskap" and its possible decline

Anomalous background due to charging in the proton-induced X-ray analysis of insulators is eliminated by inserting a heated carbon filament or by raising the pressure in the sample chamber.

The aim of the dissertation is to discuss Gunnar Ekelöf's ways of approaching tradition, his resulting siding with the values of originality, and in what manner these related issues determine the development of his oeuvre. As a point of departure for this consideration, his unsettled identity as a Modernist poet is examined, as representing a strain in Modernism that manifests an ongoing transform

Popular Abstract in Swedish Njurarna spelar en central roll i de förändringsprocesser som anpassar kvinnans kropp till en graviditet. Många av de förändringar som sker mot slutet av en normal graviditet, påminner om de förändringar man ser vid preeklampsi, havandeskapsförgiftning, om än mindre uttalade. Preeklampsi är ett allvarligt risktillstånd som kan uppkomma under graviditet och en av de störThe kidneys play a pivotal role in the adaptive physiology of the pregnant woman, presenting some changes at term similar to the changes found in preeclampsia – a state of increased risk of fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. The aim of these investigations was to explore possible similarities in blood pressure regulation, renal function and structure in normal term and preeclamptic pregna

Abstract in German Henrik Johansson untersucht welcher Art die Beziehungen führender schwedischer Akademien und wissenschaftlicher Gesellschaften sowie prominenter Mitglieder zu Deutschland waren, über welche Kenntnisse des NS-Regimes man verfügte und ob daraus wissenschaftliche Stellungnahmen oder politische Aktionen erwuchsen.

The Cone Calorimeter is the most complete reaction-to fire test apparatus available presently. It measures heat release rates and mass loss rate, ignitability properties and smoke and toxic gas production rate. One of the main advantages remains in its wide spread and use. There are, however, some drawbacks in the cone calorimeter that should be noticed and maybe corrected for. The sample size is

Sedan den borgerliga alliansregeringen från januari 2007 förändrade arbetslöshetsförsäkringens finansiering har flera omständigheter medverkat till att avgifterna till a-kassorna blivit alltmer differentierade. Medan samtliga a-kassor från januari 2007 fick en kraftigt höjd medlemsavgift har den tydliga koppling mellan avgift och arbetslöshetsnivå som regeringen införde från juli 2008 tillsammans

To explore the global sequence and dispersion of repolarization of the right atrium, monophasic action potentials (MAPs) were sequentially recorded from the right atrium using an electroanatomical mapping (CARTO) system in 10 healthy pigs and in 10 patients with (n=6) and without (n=4) paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) during sinus rhythm, or using two MAP recording catheters in 30 patients wit

Bokens baksidestext: Fackligt medlemskap har länge varit självklart i det genomorganiserade Sverige. Så är det inte längre. Under de senaste femton åren har andelen fackligt anslutna fluktuerat betydligt kraftigare än tidigare, även om den svenska organisationsgraden fortfarande är mycket hög. Ett nytt fenomen är att allt fler nöjer sig med att bara tillhöra a-kassan. Utifrån en brett upplagd inte
