Väpnade aktörer, terrorism och illegal handel (med människor, narkotika och vapen) är alla företeelser som, i varierande omfattning, florerar i fallerade stater. Dessa företeelser återfinns inte minst i Colombia, som trots det inte bedöms vara fallerad. Uppsatsens syfte är att påvisa behovet av kvalitativa och kontextspecifika studier, då vår förförståelse är att analyser av fallerade stater, som

Professional cycling combines extensive endurance training with non weight-bearing exercise, two factors often associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD). Therefore BMD was measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in 30 professional road cyclists (mean (SD) age: 29.1 (3.4) years; height: 178.5 (6.7) cm; weight: 71.3 (6.1) kg; %fat mass: 9.7 (3.2)%; (V) over dotO(2) max: 70.5 (5.5) ml .

Tidigare forskning om samverkan visar att samarbete innefattar problem och konflikter. Syftet med denna studie är att istället beskriva mer framgångsrik samverkan även om denna utspelas under kortare interaktionsfrekvenser. I boken diskuteras forskning som analyserat framgångsfaktorer men framförallt analyseras ett eget empiriskt material med fokus på hur och när aktörerna inom ungdomsvården framsPrevious collaboration research shows that problems and conflicts sometimes arise as a part of collaboration. This book analyzes successful cooperation unfolding during shorter interaction sequences. In this study I endeavour to describe the contributing factors that are necessary to achieve the phenomenon of a successful collaboration. I do this partially with help from studies published in previ

Redan vid en flyktig granskning går det att skönja en klar tendens att alternativa tvistlösningsmetoder förordas allt mer hos lagstiftaren och i den juridiska diskursen i stort. Inom domstolsprocessen finns två alternativa förfaranden som båda syftar till att främja en samförståndslösning mellan parterna. Ett av dessa är att domaren ska när det är lämpligt försöka förmå parterna att förlikas. DomaEven at a brief examination it is possible to notice a clear trend in favour of alternative dispute resolutions advocated increasingly by the legislature and in the legal discourse in general. Within the judicial process there are two alternative procedures who both aim to promote a solution based on conciliation between the parties. One of these procedures consists of that the judge has an obliga

Sedan början av 1990-talet omfattar yrkesutbildningen för tjänst i Svenska kyrkan en grundkurs (SKG) gemensam för de fyra yrkesprofilerna. Denna kurs är förlagd till folkhögskolor runt om i Sverige och kursen pågår under en termin. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka, tolka och analysera deltagarnas upplevelser av Svenska kyrkans grundkurs och folkhögskolan som pedagogisk miljö. I arbetet h

The paper presents application of lean engineering methods at design process re-engineering. Lean principles are harder to implement in an one-of-a-kind production environment rather than in an environment of a serial production, where there are almost no changes during production process. There are considerable differences in value-added activities that characterize lean production on one hand an

Background: Despite its well-established positive effects, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (exCR) is underused in patients following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with non-Attendance at exCR in patients post-AMI in a large Swedish cohort. Methods: A total of 31,297 patients who have suffered an AMI, mean age 62.4 ± 4 years, were

Several authors have reported problems on service courses in basic probability and statistics: students may lack motivation, find the theory difficult or boring, others see no applications for the results. To remedy these problems we have developed a learning environment where two important components are applied problems and use of technology. However, the mere existence of applied problems and t

BACKGROUND: The risk of breast cancer among hypertensive patients who use beta-blockers has attracted attention. However, the evidence is inconsistent and investigation of the dose-specific associations for subtypes of beta-blockers are limited.METHODS: By incorporating Swedish national registers, breast cancer risk was estimated in women with hypertension who used nonselective beta-blockers and b

Abstract in UndeterminedA more or less continuous process of structural change, not least due to a globalizing economy, poses a number of challenges to regions and local communities. However, when firms or whole industries are phasing out, windows of opportunity open up. Empirical analyses of two recent plant closures in Skane point at the importance of retaining existing knowledge bases, and at t
