Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1900-talet har stora förändringar skett i synen på buddhistisk meditation. Från att ha varit en övning som bara ägt rum på kloster och bland ett fåtal munkar, har både ordinerade lärare och lekmannalärare börjat lära ut meditation till lekfolk. Meditation har kommit att framställas som själva hjärtat i buddhistiska traditioner, och som det element som kan isolerasThe purpose of this study is to investigate how a religious tradition changes when transposed to a new context: how it is received and incorporated in its new context and how individuals in Sweden perceive and make use of this tradition. This is done by highlighting the development of insight meditation, Vipassana, and more specifically, the Burmese practice lineage originating from the Burmese la

De utanförstående arbetstagarna är en grupp som växer på arbetsmarknaden, men som under en lång tid har varit i en väldigt liten minoritet. En stor del av arbetsrätten kan därför verka vara avsedd för de andra aktörerna på arbetsmarknaden, då behovet av att tillgodose en så liten grupps intressen förmodligen inte har haft lika hög prioritet som andra företeelser på arbetsmarknaden och arbetsrättenEmployees who are not members of a trade union is a group that is growing on the labor market, but for a long time they have been in a very small minority. A substantial part of the labor law would therefore appear to be intended for the other actors on the labor market, since the need to cater to a small group's interests probably have not had as high a priority as other aspects of the labor

Sammanfattning Detta arbete tar utgångspunkt dels i grundantagandet att diskriminering på bostadsmarknaden sker och dels i en ambition att belysa hur det juridiska antidiskrimineringsarbetet inom detta område kan bedrivas. Materialet för arbetet utgörs av de fem mål som har prövats av svenska domstolar som rör diskriminering på bostadsmarknaden och de 15 ärenden där DO och de tidigare ombudsmänneSummary This work is based on the assumption that discrimination in the housing market is present and in a desire to shed light on how the legal anti-discrimination system works in this area. The focus of this study is the five cases of discrimination that have been decided by Swedish courts and the fifteen cases in which DO (The Equality Ombudsman) has reached a settlement in the housing area. Th

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) are highly age-related pathologies isualized by neuroimaging. CSVD can be silent lesions but are associated with cognitive decline, dementia, gait disorders, depression and stroke. A growing body of evidence links CSVD to systemic vascular processes, but the pathophysiology is not fully explained. The aim of this thesis is to investigate possible links between

Background: Despite its common early onset, little is known about the prevalence and clinical presentation of avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in very young children, hindering early identification and intervention. Differentiating ARFID from normative selective eating is particularly challenging, yet validated parent-reported screening tools are lacking. This study aimed to estim

Increased mortality risks associated with smoking are well established among men. There are very few population-based studies comprising a sufficient number of heavily smoking women, measuring the direct effect of smoking on mortality risks. Between 1974 and 1992, 8,499 women and 13,888 men attended a health screening programme including reporting of smoking habits. Individuals were followed for t

Expansive cements are utilised in special applications to improve properties such as cracking caused by drying shrinkage. Several types of expansive cements exist and the main hydration product responsible for the expansion is ettringite, [Ca₃Al(OH)₆]₂(SO₄)₃·26H ₂O. The importance of the cement phase containing alumina is well known

Objective: To report the outcome after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) repair in octo- and nonagenarians from the Swedish Vascular Registry 1994-2014. Material and methods: 2335 intact AAA (iAAA) and 1538 rAAA were identified in patients aged 80 years and older. Crude, long-term, and relative survival data were analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Crude survival was calculated includi

In this thesis a system for tracking the fingers of a user using sound waves is developed. The proposed solution is to attach a small speaker to each finger and then have a number of microphones placed ad hoc around a computer monitor listening to the speakers. The system should then be able to track the positions of the fingers so that the coordinates can be mapped to the computer monitor and be

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to research how Air Canada uses their country-of-origin as part of their identity and branding strategy and to find out how a global customer base perceives it. Air Canada was chosen for the main focus of this research, as the airline is leveraging their Canadian country-of-origin as the primary factor in differentiating themselves in a highly competitive mark

Cooperation in soils can make a huge difference At a first glance, the coexistence of diverse plants in ecosystems seems to be completely harmonious. However, there is a high competence of these organisms for obtaining resources. In this scenario, most of the plants have decided to make a lifetime deal with fungi in order to ensure their development and survival. This symbiotic association is cal

En person som flyttar ut ifrån Sverige och blir begränsat skattskyldig här kan även efter flytten bli skattskyldig för kapitalvinster enligt den så kallade tioårsregeln. Tioårsregeln omfattar delägarrätter, andelar i svenska handelsbolag och utlandet delägarbeskattade juridiska personer. Man är skattskyldig för kapitalvinster på sådana tillgångar i tio år efter att man upphörde att vara bosatt ellA person who moves from Sweden and becomes a limited taxable person here can even after the move takes place become taxable here for capital gains according to the so called ten-year rule. The ten-year rule covers shares, shares in trading companies and shares in foreign shareholder-taxed legal persons. A person is taxable for capital gains on such assets for up to ten years after he or she ceased

A detailed flammability evaluation of different materials used in the nuclear power industry is presented as an example of how important are physical observation and detailed analysis in the interpretation of test data. The objective is to provide different criteria that could allow the use of standard test data in fire modeling. So far most fire test data has only been used as an element for rank

Arsenic is a very potent toxicant. One major susceptibility factor for arsenic-related toxicity is the efficiency of arsenic metabolism. The efficiency, in turn, is associated with non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the arsenic methyltransferase AS3MT on chromosome 10q24. However, the mechanism of action for these SNPs is not yet clarified. Here, we assessed the influence of gene

This paper describes preliminary results from the test-retest of the NAME 1.0. Four scales were tested: Mobility-related participation frequency; Mobility ease/difficulty; Mobility dependence; Extent of assistance in mobility. The test was conducted in the five Nordic countries. In all 147 mobility device users took part in the study, mean age 60 years (range 19 - 93). Each participant was intervi

Degenerative changes of the lumbar spine may lead to misinterpretation of bone mineral density (BMD) measurements and cause underdiagnosis of osteoporosis. This longitudinal study of 1,044 women, 75 years at inclusion and followed for 10 years, shows that identification of apparent degenerative changes on the dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan can increase the proportion diagnosed. INTR

Today, 14 years have gone since the whole world turned their backs on Rwanda, the small country in East Africa, during a time when its population needed us the most. These were the same nations that already after the Second World War had made a promise about ''Never Again'', then meaning that they would never again allow another attempt to exterminate an entire ethnic group. It was

We present the red-listed plants and fungi that have been found in the central parts of the parish of Stenbrohult, southern Sweden. In the middle of the study areas Carl Linnaeus was born in 1707, and he spent his summers there until 1727. Of the 11 currently red-listed vascular plants (Gärdenfors 2000) that have been recorded since 1970 all occurred there also 300 years ago. Mosses, lichens and f
