I’m a Believer – But I’ll Be Damned if I’m Religious : Belief and Religion in the Greater Copenhagen Area : A Focus Group Study

This book is a contribution to the discussion about religion in contemporary Western society, characterized by the privatization of religion. The concept religion is not easily operational and does not carry meaning or implications that remain valid or consistent over time. It must be re-substantiated in order to remain descriptive and operational. This book’s ambition is to explore a means of re-

Bonden, bygden och bördigheten. Produktionsmönster och utvecklingsvägar under jordbruksomvandlingen i Skåne ca 1700-1870

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1700- och 1800-talet omvandlades det svenska jordbruket som en del av en euro¬peisk utveckling som uppvisar övergripande likheter. De genomgripande förändringarna och deras betydelse för den långsiktiga samhällsutvecklingen motiverar att man talar om en agrar revolution. Trots övergripande likheter rymde emellertid den agrara revolutionen såväl regio-nala som loka

On the concept of "integration"

There are a number of interpretations of the concept “integration” in Product Development (PD). Different sources tend to use different terminologies for describing the same phenomenon of integration, or use the same term for different purposes. This paper strives to capture the essence of the concept of “integration” within a product development project by looking for what is integrated and how i

Socioeconomic Position, Comorbidity, and Mortality in Aortic Aneurysms: A 13-Year Prospective Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND: To evaluate factors associated with incidence and 3-year all-cause mortality in patients with aortic aneurysm (AA). The design is sex and age-stratified (60-79 and 80-90 years) prospective cohort. By using the population register, we constituted a cohort of all men and women born between 1900 and 1930 and living in Scania by 1991, and followed them for 13 years. Identification of AA wa

Biblioteksservice till barn med utländsk bakgrund - vilken service skulle kunna erbjudas på bibliotek i segregerade förorter

The aim of the paper is to examine how public libraries can develop their services for children with ethnic minority backgrounds as a user group. This is achieved through studying the conditions for library services provided for children aged 9-12 in this group by public libraries in suburbs densely populated with ethnic minorities. The paper uses both a literature review and empirical research on

Public Procurement in the View of Sweden and EU

According to conventional economic wisdom, deregulation and liberalization of private and public enterprises will enhance competition, which will lead to an expansion of production, trade, and general welfare. As more markets are deregulated and more services are being privatized, the public procurement market is expanding and more professionals will come in contact with public procurement either

Pre-treatment dosimetry for interstitial photodynamic therapy

A genetic algorithm for optimal placement of optical fibers in arbitrary geometries for interstitial photodynamic therapy has been developed. Based on calculated fiber positions, the diffuse light distribution is simulated by solving the diffusion equation by means of the finite element method and the treatment time is calculated. Utilizing an instrument for interstitial photodynamic therapy that

An integrated simulation model of the Euro50

The Euro50 is a proposed optical telescope with an equivalent aperture of 50 m. It will have a segmented primary mirror and full adaptive optics. To study the interaction of the telescope structure, the control system and the optics, an integrated simulation model has been formulated. The mechanical model is a modal version of an Ansys finite element model. The optics model is based on ray tracing

City structure - societal driving forces and effects (in Book & Eskilsson: City structure. Why and how?)

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varför ser staden ut som den gör? Vilka krafter ligger bakom bebyggelsens och transportsystemets utformning? Vad eller vilka aktörer har inflytande över hur staden utformas? Hur kan internationella olikheter i städers utformning förklaras? De krafter som formar staden är många och komplexa. Stadens struktur har under historiens gång påverkats av bland annat nya teknologWhy do cities appear the way they do? What are the underlying forces that contribute to its built environment and transport system? What/whom are the factors/actors that influence the ways in which the city is shaped? How can the international differences in the shape of cities be explained? The driving forces that shape the city are numerous and complex. City structure, has through the ages, been

Evaluation of non-linear combinations of rescaled reassigned spectrograms

The reassignment technique is used to increase the localization for signals that have closely located time-frequency components. For Gaussian components the reassignment based on an optimal (matched) window spectrogram will result in a single point where all mass is located. For non-optimal windows, the reassignment procedure can be optimally rescaled to fulfill the single point mass location. Non

From Housing Inequalities to an Unjust Energy Transition : Data-driven analyses of socio-technical links in the Swedish multifamily building stock

Improving energy performance in the Swedish multifamily building stock is an important undertaking in order to reach national and international targets for energy efficiency. However, growing economic inequalities in Sweden, manifested in the multifamily building stock as housing inequalities that entail segregation, overcrowding, and differences in standard of living, have led to low-income house

Delayed Gadolinium-Enhanced MRI of Menisci and Cartilage (dGEMRIM/dGEMRIC) in Obese Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis : Cross-Sectional Study of 85 Obese Patients With Intra-articular Administered Gadolinium Contrast

Background: Early cartilage changes in knee osteoarthritis (OA) can be assessed by both intravenous (i.v.) and intra-articular (i.a.) delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC). Purpose: To examine the relationship between i.a. dGEMRIC and delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of menisci (dGEMRIM), and to investigate if the approach can be used to assess the morphological degeneration of men

Differential Islet and Incretin Hormone Responses in Morning vs. Afternoon after Standardized Meal in Healthy Men.

Context: The insulin response to meal ingestion is more rapid in the morning than in the afternoon. Whether this is explained by a corresponding variation in the incretin hormones is not known. Objective: Assess islet and incretin hormones after meal ingestion in the morning versus afternoon. Design, Settings and Participants: Ingestion at 8am and at 5pm of a standardized meal (524 kcal) in health

Privatisation of the IT Sector in Sweden

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populära tidskrifter och flertalet debattörer har alltsedan 80-talet hävdat att privatisering leder automatiskt till en förbättring av företagets effektivitet. På grund av dessa diskussioner har man litat mycket på marknadskrafter, då man trott att dessa krafter kan ombilda organisationer med goda effekter. Avhandlingen är en kritik mot dessa ansatser. Författaren försöThe majority of research on privatisation has been driven by, inter alia, economics. Some economists have argued that private ownership introduces capital market pressures into inefficient state bureaucracies. Private property rights are expected to maximise the incentives for management to achieve a high level of production efficiency. The argument put forward in this research is that in so far a
