This thesis concerns the role played by immigrant organisations today. It focuses on the way in which the national context and especially the corporative, social welfare, and integration systems affect such roles. The thesis is structured around the hypothesis that immigrant organisations are shaped by their interaction with political opportunity structures which function as links between the broa
Carbohydrates play a major role in many cell recognition events and metabolic pathways of living organisms. Synthetic carbohydrate receptors are of great interest for the chemical design of sugar sensors, materials for cell separation, cell immobilization, drug delivery and other biomedical/biotechnological applications. These receptors are more stable under harsh conditions and have lower cost as
Syftet med denna artikel är att undersöka hur plats, natur och hälsa lyfts fram i marknadsföringen av rituellt helande i det senmoderna Sverige. Att ”vara naturlig” har blivit ett framgångsrikt koncept inom nyskapade riter, vilka idag kan säljas och köpas som vilka varor som helst på marknaden.
A legal term that serves as a middle term in legal inferences can do so in different ways. A distinction between ‘mere’ vehicles of inference and operative middle terms will be shown to be important. It will be indicated how operative conditions give rise to the question of justificatory conformity or unconformity. At the end of the paper, it will be suggested how justificatory conformity is relev
Creative functioning,as shown in the Creative Functioning Technique (CFT) of Smith and Carlsson, fits well with what one of us (Andersson)in his model of the mind refers to as dialectical construction, a mode of functioning associated with (pre)adolescence, with Freud's topographic model, and with the creativity principle. It is possible by use of two percept-genetic techniques, the Defense Mechan
In a legal system based on democracy and the rule of law, an important fundament for the different branches of law is found in constitutional law. Constitutional rules and principles provide democratic legitimacy of legislation and other forms of exercise of public power. Furthermore, such rules and principles limit the exercise of public power, notably through rules on fundamental rights and on t
The paper discusses the addition of off-task socially oriented conversational abilities to an existing “teachable agent” (TA) in an educational game in mathematics. The purpose of this extension is to affect constructs known to promote learning, such as self-efficacy and engagement as well as enhance students’ experiences of interacting with the game. A comparison of students that played the game
The concept “Broken Technologies” is related to the question: “Which is the benefit of humanity studies?” Of course the question is rhetorical because, how could this question be answered if the benefit was not obvious? Any answer supposes that we understand what we are asking for and the study of “what we mean” is one of the axes of the epistemology of the humanities. Anyway, we can also put the
Popular Abstract in Undetermined All of our present information technology culture with computers, internet, smart-phones, Bluetooth links, 3D-Tv, iPad tablets, programmable washing/cooking machines, car engines, navigation computers, etc. (the list goes on and on) is based on small electrical circuits. The smaller these circuits can be made, the faster and the better microelectronics can perform.Present-day electronics employ circuits of smaller and smaller dimensions, and today the length scales are so small that the laws of physics which rule micro-cosmos, quantum mechanics, become directly important. This thesis reports on theoretical work on electron transport in different nanostructures. We have studied semiconductor quantum wells, layered materials where each layer can be only a few
