En analys av vad som behöver förändras inom socialförsäkringen och Försäkringskassan som det såg ut 2005 för att ge hållbara socialförsäkringar.

Based on the assumption that female students’ academic careers in particular are disadvantaged by canonical art history teaching, the project’s chief goal was to launch strategies for the implementation of critical gender perspectives in all undergraduate courses in the division of Art History and Visual Studies, Lund University, 2004-2006. These strategies included teaching practices derived from

A chapter in "The Routledge Companion to Director's Shakespeare" about Ingmar Bergman as a Shakespeare interpreter, the relation between Shakespeare on page and stage, and the significance of the stage to understanding Shakespeare's plays.

The metabolic defects of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes can result from changes in gene expression and protein functions due to genetic and environmental influences. The aim of this study was to identify abnormally expressed genes associated with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, and further to test whether possible defects are inherited or acquired. To achieve this, we used cDNA diff

Spanjorernas erövring "konflikt", Quechuakulturens strategier av motstånd, men också av anpassning. I modern tid; storskalig urbanisering, ekonomisk ruin och inre väpnande konflikter. Med ett Socialantropologiskt synsätt analyserar bokens författare, Johan Cronehed, det peruanska samhället och dess sociala uppbyggnad. Utifrån Quechuaindianernas etniska tillhörighet visar författaren hur det är m

The present paper is a comparative study, concerning the birth of Christ as described in pictorial and verbal narrative. These are represented by Scandinavian wall-paintings on the one hand and the Legenda Aurea (LA) c. 1264, Meditationes Vitae Christi (MVChr) c 1300, and the Revelations of S Bridget (RSB) c 1370, on the other.It takes its departure in the Romanesque picture of the Christchild in

This paper presents new methods trellis source coding at rates above and below one. The new schemes have in common a code design based on branch correlation, a large reproducer alphabet, and an encoder based on either the Viterbi algorithm or a tailbiting MAP technique. The methods are easily adapted to various bit rates, but here only the results for R = 2 and R = 1/2 bits per source sample are p

The secondary structure of proteins is crucial for proper function of the protein in biological systems. Peptide T, an octapeptide from the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of the HIV virus, has previously been shown to be responsible for binding to the CD4 receptor on T helper/inducer lymphocytes. NMR studies showed that the four C-terminal amino acid residues of peptide T adopted a beta-turn conforma

Hakkarainen and Sintonen (2002) praise the descriptive adequacy of Hintikka's Interrogative Model of Inquiry (imi) to describe children's practices in an inquiry-based learning context. They further propose to use the imi as a starting point for developing new pedagogical methods and designing new didactic tools. We assess this proposal in the light of the formal results that in the imi characteri

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många material är kristallina – inte bara ädelstenar, utan även alla metaller och keramiska material består av kristaller. Till och med många proteiner och t.ex. acetylsalicylsyra, basen till aspirin, bildar kristaller. När någonting kallas kristallint menar man att atomerna sitter på särskilda platser och i en bestämd, regelbunden ordning. De flesta material är polykriSemiconducting nanowires have attracted scientific attention for more than 20 years due to their potential applications in electronic devices, as sensors, and in solid state lighting. These applications require high quality nanowires to begin with. Achieving such good control over the growth of nanowires is not trivial and requires profound understanding of the underlying processes. In this thesis

Decision analysis concerned with investments in fire safety is discussed. Particular attention is directed at the treatment of uncertainty, the evaluation of consequences, and the choice of a decision rule for use in this context. An approach involving use of a decision rule based on the principle of maximizing expected utility, together with a complementary evaluation of the decision alternatives
