Medborgarkulturer via medierna: en förutsättning för demokrati

Democracy all too often is described in terms of an abstract system, and the role of the media is to provide information for citizens. While is true, it is only part of the story. This text makes the point that the media in democracies also need to help generate civic cultures that can foster civic agency. Thus, the media's role must be understood even in terms of everyday civic socialization.

Regulation of CNS inflammation upon T cell interaction with CNS resident cells

Multiple Sclerosis (MS), is a neurologic, autoimmune disease characterized by CNS immune cell infiltration and demyelination. To experimentally study MS, we have utilized the mouse model Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE). EAE is induced through immunization with myelin antigens, which elicits an autoreactive Th1 cell response. Encephalitogenic T cells migrate into the CNS where they

Fuel Taxes and the Poor: The distributional consequences of gasoline taxation and their implicarions for climate policy

Fuel Taxes and the Poor challenges the conventional wisdom that gasoline taxation, an important and much-debated instrument of climate policy, has a disproportionately detrimental effect on poor people. Increased fuel taxes carry the potential to mitigate carbon emissions, reduce congestion, and improve local urban environment. As such, higher gasoline taxes could prove to be a fundamental part of

The release of organic compounds during biomass drying depends upon the feedstock and/or altering drying heating medium

The release of organic compounds during the drying of biomass is a potential environmental problem, it may contribute to air pollution or eutrophication. In many countries there are legal restrictions on the amounts of terpenes that may be released into the atmosphere. When considering bioenergy in future energy systems, it is important that information on the environmental effects is available. T

Kärlekens måltid : en studie av mässliturgier i Svenska kyrkan perioden 1986 - 2004

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling behandlar jag frågor om nattvardens liturgi och teologi i nya mässliturgier. I huvudsak koncentreras uppgiften till en analys av 65 nya mässliturgier som används i Svenska kyrkan och som jämförs med liturgin i Svenska kyrkans nu gällande kyrkohandbok. Ämnesområden som ansluter till avhandlingens huvuduppgift är gudstjänstförnyelse, nattvardsteologi ocIn this dissertation, I discuss issues concerning the liturgy and the theology of the Eucharist in new mass liturgies. The main task is focused on an analysis of 65 new mass liturgies that have been used in the Church of Sweden and which are here compared to the liturgy provided in the current Church of Sweden Service Book. Subjects closely related to the main task of this thesis include the renew

Framtidens pensionärer och deras boendeplaner

Boendefrågan för äldre har oftast analyserats från endera av två utgångspunkter. Den första utgår från bostadssituationen för äldre när det gäller lägenhetsstorlek, grannskapskvaliteter och boendekostnader så som situationen är idag. Dagens boendesituation används därefter inte sällan som en approximation för hur det kommer att se ut framöver när det gäller de äldre hushållens boende. Den andra ut

TOA Sensor Network Calibration for Receiver and Transmitter Spaces with Difference in Dimension

We study and solve the previously unstudied problem of finding both sender and receiver positions from time of arrival (TOA) measurements when there is a difference in dimensionality between the affine subspaces spanned by receivers and senders. Anchor-free TOA network calibration has uses both in sound, radio and radio strength applications. Using linear techniques and requiring only a minimal nu

Increased risk of diabetes among relatives of female insulin-treated patients diagnosed at 15-34 years of age.

Aims This study aimed to determine the risk of developing diabetes among relatives of patients diagnosed between 15 and 34 years of age who were treated with insulin. Our second aim was to determine whether there was a difference in risk of diabetes between relatives of male and female patients. Methods A questionnaire was sent to patients in the Diabetes Incidence Study in Sweden registry diagno
