Bookstores are one of the most visible places for books in the public space. No bookstore can ever offer every book available; rather it is in its selection that each bookstore is unique.

This chapter takes an interest in the world of platforms for creative and cultural work. Platforms for creative and cultural work started to become popular in the late 20th century, and their popularity has grown rapidly over the years. Taking its point of departure from these platforms, this chapter aims to shed light upon and discuss the work of the professionals who handle and manage these plat

The leadership literature has been faulted for framing leaders (and followers) as rational and disembodied information processers. This chapter presents a review of studies that go against this tendency by focusing on how materiality, embodiment, and aesthetics are involved in leadership communication. A number of different perspectives are highlighted in relation to the three focal themes, as wel

Denna uppsats markerar ett nytt och kompletterande spår i Certecs verksamhet: att i datormodellens form simulera mänskligt lärande. Förhoppningen är att det därigenom skall komma fram nya idéer både om lärande och om pedagogiska möjligheter kring hur man kan stötta lärandet. Certec kommer att medverka till att den nya kunskapen i första hand skall komma människor med inlärningssvårigheter till god

Swedishness, Catholicism and European IntegrationThe position of the Catholic Church in Sweden has radically changed in the last forty years. At the beginning of the 1960s, the Catholicism was commonly regarded as a threat to Swedish cultural identity, not least among members of the ruling Social-Democratic Party. Today, the Catholic Church is an accepted part of Swedish society. In my article, I The position of the Catholic Church in Sweden has radically changed in the last forty years. At the beginning of the 1960s, the Catholicism was commonly regarded as a threat to Swedish cultural identity, not least among members of the ruling Social-Democratic Party. Today, the Catholic Church is an accepted part of Swedish society. This article discuss this process of change and its impact on Swed

Offentliga inköp av varor, tjänster och byggentreprenader som görs av statliga och kommunala myndigheter måste föregås av en offentlig upphandling enligt lag (2007:1091) om offentlig upphandling. Leverantören av varan, tjänsten eller byggentreprenaden som anser att en upphandling inte har gått rätt till, kan ansöka om överprövning av en upphandling till allmän förvaltningsdomstol enligt 16 kap. 4 Swedish contracting authorities purchasing public goods, services and public works contracts, are obliged to follow Swedish law on Public Procurement Act (2007:1091). If the procurement has not been correctly performed, an economic operator can apply for a review to the administrative court according to Chapter 16 § 4 in the Swedish law on Public Procurement Act. The regulation is based on Europea

Inom kärnkraftsverken, läkemedelsindustrin, biotekniklaboratorier mfl är det vanligt att det radioaktiva ämnet 14C förekommer i olika former. Inom kärnkraftsverken som en biprodukt vid elproduktion och inom läkemedelsindustrin används det som markör för att studera hur sunbstansen distribueras i kroppen. Genom inandning vid t ex oförsiktighet kan de människor som arbetar med dessa olika substanserWith the help from accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), hair from workers within the nuclear power industry, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry has been investigated to see if contamination from 14C. 14C-using companies and nuclear power plants were contacted, volunteers were recruited, who sent in hair samples together with a questionnaire. The samples were washed and prepared for 14C anal

Sustainability is discussed in literature as complex, ambiguous, and partly contradictory, which makes it difficult for store personnel to fully grasp what can be classified as sustainable and how sustainability can be staged and represented in the retail grocery environment. Drawing on symbolic interactionism and Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective, this dissertation explores how sustainability i

Miljöpåverkan är ett ständigt återkommande ämne i samhällsdebatten. Många företag strävar efter att minimera sin miljöpåverkan, vilket kan ske genom att återanvända material i stället för att producera nya. I fallet med betongproduktion finns det flera sätt att göra den bättre för miljön. Till exempel kan rivningstegel användas som alternativ till den traditionella ballasten, som ett sätt att mins

It is commonly assumed that algorithmic curation of search results creates filter bubbles, where users’ beliefs are continually reinforced and opposing views are suppressed. However, empirical evidence has failed to support this hypothesis. Instead, we suggest that filter bubbles may result from individuals acting selectively on information made available by search engines. When presented with sea

Since the Chinese economy’s reform in 1980, it has been attracting enormous foreign investments. Many Swedish firms from different sectors such as technology, manufactory production, consumer, service industries and so on, had started their investments in China. China has become the first choice for global manufacturing due to the huge market, continuous economic growth, stable political situation

Background and purpose - Little is know about patterns of sick leave in connection with total hip and knee joint replacement (THR and TKR) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Patients and methods - Using registers from southern Sweden, we identified hip and knee OA patients aged 40-59 years who had a THR or TKR in the period 2004-2012. Patients who died or started on disability pension were excl

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning I Arktis finns det enorma lager av kol som ligger i och under permafrosten, vilket är frusen mark som inte har tinat på två år. Mycket tyder på att delar av dessa lager är känsliga för en temperaturökning och idag sker en pågående uppvärmning. Arktis värms snabbare än övriga jorden på grund av att vit reflekterande is och snö smälter, vilket resulterar i att hav The permafrost area in the Arctic region contains vast carbon stocks within and beneath the permafrost, which is frozen ground that has not thawed in two years. These carbon stocks are sensitive to ongoing global warming. When the white and reflective snow and ice melts, the remaining land and sea surfaces absorb more shortwave radiation and get warmer. Heat transport to the Arctic will also incre

Denna studie fokuserar på agila projektmetoder men utesluter inte traditionella metoder, då de fortfarande används och de kan ställas mot det agila. De tre vanligaste agila metoderna (Scrum, Kanban och XP) samt den mest välkända traditionella metoden (Vattenfallsmetoden) behandlas. De agila metoderna fokuserar på att leverera värde till kunden och ett projekt anses avslutat när användaren är nöjd,
