In Swedish feminist debates of the 1960s and 1970s, the productive woman was frequently constructed as the binary opposite of the non-productive woman. The former was associated with liberation, moral integrity, and independence. The latter was characterized in terms of passivity, laziness, and dependence. By engaging in paid labour, or by otherwise demonstrating her contribution to the greater go

A number of measures have been taken by the society to ensure gender equality in higher education. Nevertheless, women still face great difficulties when pursuing an academic career. Our aim is to increase the understanding of how the society, conceptualised as the organisational field, interacts with organisational factors and personal actions as women try to establish themselves within academia.

An activity-based vocabulary for Voice Output Communication Aids (VOCAs) was designed and evaluated through a user-centred, iterative design process, using expressions from the Gothenburg Spoken Language Corpus as well as other recorded, natural conversations. The growth and development of the vocabulary, called Phrases, was closely linked to its evaluation. The iterative design process included p

International water resources agreements for transboundary rivers in southern Africa are generally founded in system analysis models for water planning and allocation. The Water Resources Yield Model (WRYM) developed in South Africa has so far been the only model applied in official joint water resources studies aimed to form water-sharing agreements. The continuous discussion around the model per

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna studie är att förbättra den nuvarande svenska konflikttekniken [TCT] inom området fordon - fotgängarekonflikter. Den nuvarande definitionen av konflikters allvarlighetsgrad verkar ge färre allvarliga konflikter än den borde, särskilt när den relevanta trafikanten (RRU) är en fotgängare. Ett annat mål är att tillämpa den svenska konflikttekniken i JordanThis study is aimed at improving the current Swedish Traffic conflicts Technique [TCT] in relation to vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. The present definition of conflict severity appears to produce less severe conflicts than they might be, particularly if the relevant road user (RRU) is the pedestrian. Another aim is to apply the Swedish TCT in Jordan as a method for evaluating safety conditions at j

The aim of this dissertation is to examine the institutional changes which occurred in Chile under the military regime from 1973-1981, and how these changes can be related to subsequent economic development in the country. The empirical material comprises of an investigation of the new economic policy in the agricultural sector, the political process behind this policy and the social and economic

Popular Abstract in Swedish Torgny Segerstedt, den kände chefredaktören för Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning, hade utkämpat strider före nazismens tid. Som ung kallades han till docent till Lund på en underkänd avhandling. Disputationen hade ägt rum i maj 1903 vid den teologiska fakulteten i Uppsala. Efter underkännandet beslöt alltså den teologiska fakulteten i Lund att kalla Segerstedt tilOn 1st September 1903, the Faculty of Theology at the University of Lund took the decision to appoint Torgny Segerstedt as a senior lecturer in spite of his failed doctoral dissertation. The public defence of his thesis had taken place on 28th May in the same year before the Faculty of Theology at Uppsala. It was thus after his failure that the Faculty at Lund nevertheless decided to invite him to

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att kunna mäta ett ämnes halt i ett prov behövs en analysmetod. Det första steget i en analysmetod innefattar provupparbetning. Med det menas att ämnet man vill mäta halten av avskiljs (extraheras) från provet med någon sorts extraktionsteknik. I laboratorier världen över görs dagligen många analytiska extraktioner. Det kan handla om t.ex. livsmedelsanalyser, miljöaToday’s requirements of fast, reliable and selective analytical methods with minimal usage of organic solvents have accelerated the development of new, automated extraction techniques. In this thesis recent extraction techniques with emphasis on supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) were investigated. Different environmental and industrial applications such a

The Swedish consumer magazine Råd & Rön (”Advice and Results”) has been available to Swedish consumers since 1958. For a major part of this time the Swedish state, represented by Konsumentverket (the Swedish Consumer Agency) and its predecessor, Konsumentinstitutet (the National Institute for Consumer Information), was the owner of the magazine. In 2006 Råd & Rön was sold to the independen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Socialakrobat, världsförbättrare, soc-kärring. Benämningarna på socialarbetare har skiftat genom åren, liksom synen på yrket. I Fattigdomens besvärjelser skildras den svenska fattigvårdens förvandling till modern socialvård. Det är arbetets vardag som står i fokus, många gånger i kontrast till socialarbetarnas visionära förhoppningar. Vi får möta sekelskiftets filantroThe theme of this dissertation is how changing claims as to what is proper and true social work have been formulated and staged in the twentieth century. From the perspective of cultural analysis I seek to discuss how social work has been formed and changed over a century. I wish to demonstrate how descriptions and narratives, actions and gazes, practice and rhetoric have constituted a changing pr

For the production of basic materials a deep decarbonization fundamentally requires the development of new process technologies. However, the climate policies currently adopted in G8 countries mainly reward incremental improvements and preserve industrial structures rather than induce innovation and preparations for a low-carbon transition. The current policy approach is motivated by fear of carbo

Abstract in UndeterminedThe temporal non-determinism introduced by computing and communication in the form of delay and jitter can lead to significant performance degradation. To achieve good performance in systems with limited computer resources, e.g. embedded systems, the resource constraints of the implementation platform must be taken into account at design time. To facilitate this, software t

Perovskite solar cells have rapidly been developed over the past several years. Choice of the most suitable solar cell structure is crucial to improve the performance further. Here, we attempt to determine an optimum cell structure for methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite sandwiched by "2 and spiro-OMeTAD layers, among planar heterojunction, mesoporous structure, and extremely thin absor

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of pancreatic cancer is around 5 in 100,000, and the 5-year survival is poor. Pancreatic cancer patients have a high disease-specific burden of symptoms, and palliative chemotherapy has varying side effects. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) suggests integrating specialized palliative care (SPC) with standard oncological treatment for pancreatic cancer pa

To promote more collaborative sustainable governance processes, environmental information transparency is required at all stages. As an authoritarian country with rapid economic growth, China has faced serious environmental degradations that threaten citizens’ daily life. Over the last two decades, China has witnessed a trend to integrate third parties into environmental governance and an increasi
