Vad, från ett klingande perspektiv, exakt är jazz och var går gränsen för när det slutar vara det? I syfte att närma mig svaren på dessa frågor formulerade jag en kvantitativ enkätundersökning som huvudsakligen jämför klingande exempel. Enkäten fokuserar på de musikaliska aspekterna harmonik, melodik, rytmik, improvisation och instrumentation. Exemplen har jag konstruerat på så sätt att de jämför
There is an extensive expansion of fiber infrastructure for high-speed broadband networks in Sweden, and Landskrona municipality is one of the leading examples. Owing to the superior capabilities of a fiber based network, a number of digital welfare services can be provided directly to residents and companies of the municipality. Social care is an example of a welfare service that can utilize the
The fieldwork was carried out on Bas Glacier d'Arolla during two days in August 1996. The aim of the study was to verify the existence of a relationship between turbulence and meander geometry according to the theory of Yalin (1992). Turbulence was measured by recording temperature fluctuations in one straight section and one curved section of the supraglacial stream. Temperature series was in
The purpose of this essay was to try to understand the relationship between the horse and man during the last part of the Iron Age and trough out the Medieval Age. To be able to get a result I investigated the horse's tending, work within agriculture, riding, warfare, breeding, to stable horses, oxen, sports and hunting, eating of the horse and age at slaughter and more. The results showed tha
In the process of globalization, identity has become one of the central factors. An understanding of the difference that makes up our society has made the question of weather is it possible to envision a society where difference is the common ground, one that has been up for contest. To answer this we need to see if this kind of democracy is possible at all. For this I?m turning to the social
This paper is a critique of an article in the Swedish magazine Filosofisk Tidskrift (Philosophical Magazine), in which professor Per Bauhn maintains that there is something wrong with having a group perspective in moral and political matters. In this article Bauhn makes three conclusions. The first one is that you violate Hume's law if you draw the conclusion that something is an oppression on
This essay investigates whether or not a governmental directive from 2012 con-cerning the use of citizenship in achieving better integration and a more dynamic Sweden, can be said to express Jürgen Habermas ideas of ‘constitutional patriot-ism’. The essay also scrutinizes how and if the directive’s ambition is achievable through the methods and means described therein, more specifically, the para-
This paper undertakes an impact analysis of a nation-wide diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) at three different levels. It analyses the socio-economic costs and benefits faced by the Danish public, by comparing the environmental benefits, expressed in monetary value, with costs associated with reduced tax revenues. The paper looks to the year 2020, calculating the immediate societal costs/benefi
Abstract Screening LCA has been used to gain further insight into the environmental performance of Gambrosol Trio, a fluid used in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) as a form of renal therapy. Gambrosol Trio (Trio) is produced and commercialised by Gambro AB, an international company with headquarters in Stockholm and historic roots in Lund, Sweden. The product's distinctive cha
Sweden has one of the most restrictive HIV transmission laws in the world. The Communicable Diseases Act contains the duty to inform, demanding that HIV positive people must inform their partners about their HIV status before sexual intercourse. Sex is also not permitted without a condom. Charges can be brought against HIV positive people not only in the case of actual HIV transmission, but also w

During a 15-y period, 48 children were treated for Wilms' tumour (WT). Seven of them were < 1 y of age at diagnosis. One child presented with non-traumatic haematuria, but in all the other children WT was revealed as a palpable abdominal mass at routine examination or investigation due to another disease. The four children under 6 months of age at diagnosis were primarily operated upon; the others
The basic electrochemistry of carbon paste electrodes modified with two new redox mediators, nitro-fluorenone derivatives, one neutral and one negatively charged, adsorbed on zirconium phosphate has been studied as well as their ability to oxidize NADH electrocatalytically. Cyclic voltammetry of these chemically modified electrodes performed in different aqueous buffer solutions at different pHs r
The nonrandom behavior of the outputs of a random S-box can be exploited when constructing distinguishers for cryptographic primitives. Different methods of constructing samples from the outputs have been used in the literature. However, it has been unclear exactly how these methods differ and which method is optimal. We analyze four different sampling techniques. We prove that two of these sampli
Avian haemosporidian parasites are particularly diverse and widespread. To date, more than 3,000 distinct cytochrome b lineages have been recorded, of which some present extremely wide geographical distributions, even including multiple continents. Whether these isolates represent one or several cryptic species remains unknown. Here we carried out a case study of SISKIN1, a common haemosporidian p
