This book, which is the result of my work within the project Conversion and Change of Confession, deals with Catholic mission and conversion in Scandinavia in the 19th and 20th cetries. I focus on Denmark, but the Danish situation is studied in a comparative Nordic pespective and against the background of the general religious, ideological and church-political development at the time. Up to the Se

Review of Constance Waeber Elsberg's book "Graceful Women: Gender and Identity in an American Sikh Community".

In this thesis we investigate what determines the attitude towards redistribution of the Dutch population. There is wide consensus in the literature that current income alone is a poor predictor of attitudes towards redistribution, but there is no consensus on the best additional predictors. We review several theories covering additional predictors and test these using data from an online panel. T

Syftet med rapporten var att med utgångspunkt i den reviderade versionen av förskolans läroplan, Lpfö 98, belysa hur man som yrkesverksam i förskolan upplever den numera framskrivna och allt tydligare åtskillnad i uppdrag mellan förskolans olika yrkeskategorier, främst förskollärare och barnskötare. Vidare belyser rapporten förskolepersonals tankar och åsikter kring förskolechefens uppdrag: - Hur

När någon säger "kvinna" är det inte säkert att alla tänker på samma sak. Vårt kön, men också kroppen, har inte bara fysiologiska/biologiska egenskaper utan utgör också en kulturell konstruktion och är därmed föränderlig.

This study aimed to investigate the presence of pain, pain duration, localization(s), intensity, type and pharmacological treatment among older adults living in sheltered accommodation or receiving rehabilitation, as well as the agreement between pain assessments performed by staff and the older adults. Twenty-nine randomly selected older adults (65+ years) and the staff who looked after them part

Exemplifying a rather widespread attitude among Pauline scholars, it has recently been argued on the basis of Rom. 12 that Paul differed sharply from the Stoics in his moral teaching. The present article aims to show that such a claim does not hold if and when the sources of Roman Stoicism are taken into consideration. A comparison of Paul’s moral teaching in Rom. 12 and contemporary Stoic ethics

The development of Swedish linguistics during the 20th century reflects international development. The century started with focus on language history described according to the theory of sound laws. It is reasonable to call the period around the turn of the century the Golden Age of Nordic philology; characterized by the work of Adolf Noreen; Axel Kock and Elof Hellquist who clarified the basic de

Att en specifik utvärderingsforskning knappast existerade i Sverige före mitten av 1970-talet beror bl a på att socialpolitiska reformer normalt föregåtts av en planerings- och beslutsprocess som inneburit omfattande politisk kontrol och värdering, såväl före som under själva genomförandet. Förändringarna inom offentlig sektor, där det tidligare planeringstänkandet ersatts av en mål- och resultats

Environmental problems and technical systems in the society are fundamentally related to hydrology. Hydrology is a very comprehensive concept. In fact, there are at least ten independent disciplines within hydrology. Classical hydrology is a descriptive science with the water balance equation as almost the only means of quantifying computations. Hydrodynamics have now to some extent been introduce

The main objective of the paper is to briefly describe and exemplify some of the work that has been carried out within the STAMP project at IEA at Lund Institute of Technology within the field of mathematical modeling of wastewater treatment (WWT) processes. Three main areas have been identified - reduced-order models of the activated sludge process, modelling of biofilm processes including some e

Den 17 december 2021 fick Sverige en ny visselblåsarlag. Lagen om skydd för personer som rapporterar om missförhållanden ersätter den tidigare lagstiftningen för visselblåsare. Lagen baseras på ett EU-direktiv från 2019 och den nya lagen kommer omfatta både fler verksamhetsutövare och fler personer som rapporterar om missförhållanden. Syftet med denna undersökning var att beskriva den nya lagen oc

Circular economy is a solution for how to achieve sustainable development in the world. A circular economy involves the recirculation of products and materials, and aims to avoid the creation of waste. For a product to be recirculated, the recirculation needs to be considered already in the design phase. This thesis is performed in collaboration with Axis Communications and explores how to desi

Professionals in adult psychiatry are obliged to consider the children’s perspective when a patient suffering from mental illness has children. Studies indicate that many children do not receive the support, advice and information to which they are entitled to under the law. It seems that the professionals are lacking in the work of translating law into practice. The study examines what experience

Med anledning av klimatkrisen har EU-kommissionen presenterat En ny handlingsplan för den cirkulära ekonomin – För ett renare och mer konkur-rens-kraftigt Europa. Det huvudsakliga syftet med handlingsplanen är att skapa förutsättningar för att ställa om till ett klimatneutralt samhälle och att frikoppla ekonomisk tillväxt från resursanvändning. I handlingsplanen anges därför att förutsättningar föDue to the climate crisis, the European Commission has presented A new Circular Economy Action Plan – For a cleaner and more competitive Europe. The main purpose of the action plan is to create a framework for sustainable products to change into a climate neutral society and decoupling economic growth from resource use. The action plan therefore states that conditions for reuse and repair, among o

Personlig integritet är en grundläggande del av den mänskliga värdigheten, något skyddsvärt. Det framgår av såväl regeringsformen som av den europeiska konventionen till skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna (EKMR). Trots det finns det ingen entydig uppfattning av vad som ska anses omfattas av skyddet för den personliga integriteten. Staten har tämligen långtgående skyldighet att skydda enskilThe right to integrity of the person constitutes a fundamental part of human dignity, an inviolable right that must be respected and protected. This is enshrined in both the Swedish Instrument of Government (sw. regeringsformen) and the European Convention on Human Rights. In spite of this, there is no unanimity around what protection of the right to integrity of the person encompasses in pra
