The Swedish legal scholar Tore Strömberg (1912-1993) is often characterized as the last true representative of the Uppsala school of legal thinking.

The manipulation of jets has since long been subject to research, due to the wide range of industrial applications in which they are used. A vast number of numerical and experimental studies concerning the physics of the breakup process of continuous jets have been published. Improvements in mixing and ambient gas entrainment have been reported experimentally when using intermittent injection, alt

In this publication we have assembled eight case studies and a ”national report” on Sweden that we wrote during 2005 as part of work commissioned by the European Foundation in Dublin. The Foundation had in the 1990’s and in the first years of the 21st century as one of its objectives to investigate the situation for older and ageing workers in Europe, and to develop policy initiatives on the level

Klimatförändringarna kommer att påverka ekosystem och samhällen över hela världen. Det är ett problem som kräver drastiska och omedelbara förändringar av vårt sätt att leva och av våra samhällsstrukturer, och därmed politiskt engagemang av aldrig tidigare skådat slag. Under de senaste 30 åren, sedan bildandet av Förenta Nationernas ramkonvention om klimatförändringar (Klimatkonventionen; UNFCCC) åThe rise of climate change as an issue of global concern has rested on scientific representation and understanding of the causes and impacts of, and responses to climatic change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in particular, has been central to how climate change has become known as a global political problem. This thesis aims to critically examine the production, negotiatio

Abstract in UndeterminedThis study examined the relationship between speech recognition, working memory and conversational skills in a group of 13 children/adolescents with cochlear implants (CIs) between 11 and 19 years of age. Conversational skills were assessed in a referential communication task where the participants interacted with a hearing peer of the same age and gender. The measures were

This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of a generic component to extract temporal information from texts in Swedish. It proceeds in two steps. The first step extracts time expressions and events, and generates a feature vector for each element it identifies. Using the vectors, the second step determines the temporal relations, possibly none, between the extracted events and orders

A project focusing on identifying and describing maritime risks is being conducted in the heavily trafficked water area of the Sound, situated in northern Europe between Sweden and Denmark. This paper reports of a test of a first version of a questionnaire constructed for measuring safety culture onboard vessels.48 crew members on a Swedish registered passenger/cargo ship completed and returned th

A multi-lane traffic flow model based on stochastic noise driven dynamics is introduced and analyzed. The model employs conservative anisotropic Arrhenius spin-exchange (surfacediffusion) dynamics. We generate an asymmetric simple exclusion process to model vehicleinteractions. Vehicles react and advance based on the energy profile of their surrounding trafficthrough a novel look-ahead asymmetric

The paper presents sufficient and almost necessary conditions for the presence of periodic solutions for zero dynamics of virtually constrained under-actuated Euler-Lagrange system. This result is further extended to detect periodic solutions for a class of hybrid systems in the plane and analyze their orbital stability and instability. Illustrative examples are given.

Mismatch negativity (MMN) is an EEG voltage fluctuation caused by the brain's automatic reaction to unexpected changes in a repetitive stimulation. In an experiment we studied 68 infants of which 2/3 were born preterm. Due to noise of large amplitude, the MMN is difficult to detect in a single infant's EEG. Therefore grand average, which is a average of many subjects EEG recordings, is sometimes u

Popular Abstract in Swedish Njurarnas huvudsakliga funktion i kroppen är att rena blodet från slaggprodukter och reglera vätskebalansen. Hos patienter med nedsatt njurfunktion måste blodet renas på alternativa sätt. Antingen leds blodet ut via slangar till en maskin som renar blodet (hemodialys), eller används bukdialys, så kallad peritoneal dialys (PD). Vid PD häller patienten dialysvätska i bukhIn the present thesis, the quantitative role of active transport (transcytosis) in bulk transvascular protein movement in vivo was evaluated. Using chemical transcytosis inhibition (N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and filipin), we were able to show that NEM actually increases endothelial permeability to macromolecules, probably as a result of unspecific toxic action on endothelial cells. Filipin, on the ot
