The standardization of work processes has become an increasingly common feature in the public administration, aiming at both efficiency and equal treatment of citizens. Combining this standardization with employee motivation is considered a challenge. This challenge is explored, based on a survey among officials at the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. Results reveal that, contrary to expectations,
Large scale infrastructure developments means balancing of partly conflicting interests of economic growth, social cohesion, environmental impact etc. How this balancing is done when the project hits the local context is depending on the legislative framework, for instance through building permits environmental assessment. Still, there can be a big difference between the intentions of the law, and

In free recall paradigm's high frequency (HF) word's are easier to recall than low frequency (LF) word's, in list's with homogenou's word frequencie's. If HF and LF word's are mixed together in a list thi's affect recall of HF word's negatively
Computer graphics plays an important role in modern engineering of manufacturing systems, both during design using virtual engineering environments and also as part of user interfaces to various machines. Existing and emerging systems today make use of software components, usually providing a graphical view to the user. In manufacturing, 3D graphics is desirable to visualize geometries of equipmen
In this chapter we discuss genetic science as a manifestation of modernity. Accordingly, we will, firstly, discuss the notion of modernity. Modernity will be understood and presented as epoch, as cultural and mental disposition. We will deploy a conceptual constellation which denotes specific and typical, constituting and regulating elements of modernity. Secondly, we will turn to the early develo
We present abundances of giant stars in the Galactic bulge and thickdisk. The stellar sample contains approximately 15 bulge giants and 20thick disk giants observed with the UVES on VLT in Chile. These resultswill be used to see if there exists an evolutionary connection betweenthe bulge and the thick disk and will also put further light into theformation of the Milky Way and the thick disk in par
