Two approaches to moral education are discussed in the article: one aiming at detachment in terms of personal autonomy, one aiming at relatedness in terms of a conscious socialisation into a shared morality of a community. The philosophical features of the two approaches are related to their respective pedagogical implications in a study of the pedagogical guidelines for confirmation work in the c
Popular Abstract in SwedishDjurgravpoesi är en form av tillfällespoesi och en subgenre till den vanliga begravningspoesin, som skrevs över människor. Den som skapade förutsättningarna för att denna diktart skulle få fäste i Sverige var änkedrottning Hedvig Eleonoras hovpoet Erik Lindschöld; hans gravdikter över änkedrottningens tikar är sannolikt skrivna på 1670-talet. Här börjar en linje som går This dissertation examines a hitherto neglected genre in Swedish poetry of the 17th and 18th centuries: the animal epitaph. From 1670 to 1760 a considerable number of such poems were composed by several of the leading poets of the day. In this dissertation, besides tracing the history of the genre back to its origins in the ancient Greek epigram, I am chiefly concerned with the functions that the
In the Full-Scale Optimization approach the complete empirical financial return probability distribution is considered; and the utility maximizing solution is found through numerical optimization. Using a portfolio choice setting of three UK equity indices we identify several utility functions featuring loss aversion and prospect theory; under which Full-Scale Optimization is a substantially bette
Recent observations by the Goddard High-Resolution Spectrograph on the Rubble Space Telescope have dramatically improved our knowledge of the abundance of the heaviest elements in Mercury-Manganese (HgMn) stars (c.f. Leckrone et al. 1992 and Wahlgren et al. 1995). Explaining the observed abundance and isotope anomalies requires improved calculations of radiatively driven diffusion. We briefly revi
Twenty-one district nurses (DNs) narrated 44 cases of elder abuse within families. A phenomenological-hermeneutical analysis revealed that the experiences were complex and often included families providing care for an elderly person. The abuse seemed to be related to the inability of one party to meet the care demands required by the elderly, by him- or herself, or by the situation. It also seemed
Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING (Svenska) I en klassisk monografi från 1855 med titel ”On the Constitutional and Local Effects of Disease of the Suprarenal Capsules” beskrev T.

In PGA syndrome type II, 73% had ATD and 41% had IDDM. The full triad was present in 14%. The sequence of appearance
Control design is a rich problem which requires that many issues such as load disturbances and set-point responses, model uncertainty, and measurement noise are taken into account. These issues are discussed for design of PI and PID controllers. The purpose is to give insight into the different criteria and their trade-offs, not to give specific tuning methods.
