This thesis deals with an approach in how to structure global governance, proposed by an Australian political scientist John S. Dryzek, called ‘Discursive democracy’. This thesis presents the approach, goes through the different aspects of it and tries to give the reader a sufficient understanding of the approach. The thesis offer an evaluation of the approach through a process where the approach
Graffiti är en mycket gammal konstart som länge associerats med kriminalitet men som på senare tid kommit att erkännas som en etablerad konstart. Graffitikonstverk blir dock ofta föremål för ändring eller förstörelse och har därför ansetts vara av naturen förgängliga verk. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur graffitikonstnärens respekträtt står sig i förhållande till ingrepp från andraGraffiti is a very old art form that, for a long period of time, has been associated with criminality. Nevertheless, graffiti has nowadays come to be recognized as an art form. Graffiti artworks do, however, often become subject to distortion, mutilation or other modifications and are understood to be, by nature, perishable pieces of art. The purpose of this essay is to examine to what extent th
In 1736 Samuel Hesselius, former pastor for the Swedish parishes in Pennsylvania, donated a collection of ‘American curiosities’ to Lund University in Sweden. Within less than twenty years, however, the collection had apparently disappeared. In the course of the past three decades the lost ethnographic artefacts have received increasing attention, but for a variety of reasons the collection has re
This paper presents work done within the EU project STARR. Within the framework of the project technologies to empower and support stroke survivors are developed. We report on the iterative development of an outdoor activity game for stroke survivors, and discuss design choices, experiences from the initial testing and outline potential future developments.
The diversity of viral strategies to modulate complement activation indicates that this component of the immune system has significant antiviral potential. One example is the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) complement control protein (KCP), which inhibits progression of the complement cascade. Rhesus rhadinovirus (RRV), like KSHV, is a member of the subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae and
This study analysed the costs of median and ulnar nerve injuries in the forearm in humans and factors affecting such costs. The costs within the health-care sector and costs of lost production were calculated in 69 patients with an injury to the median and/or ulnar nerve in the forearm, usually caused by glass, a knife, or a razorblade. Factors associated with the variation in costs and outcome we
The aim of this chapter is to provide researchers with a tool kit of semi-experimental and experimental techniques for studying code-switching. It presents an overview of the current off-line and on-line research techniques, ranging from analyses of published bilingual texts of spontaneous conversations, to tightly controlled experiments. A multi-task approach used for studying code-switched sente

Gambling disorder is a serious condition and a current issue in Sweden. The national prevalence of problem gambling is 2 %, including 0.4 % meeting criteria for gambling disorder, but the incidence numbers are substantially higher due to the dynamic pattern of the disorder with people moving into and out of the problem gambling group. Rapid internet games, such as internet casinos and sports betti
In the era of large-scale surveys of stars in the MilkyWay, stellar ages are crucial for studying the evolution of the Galaxy.But determining ages of field stars is notoriously difficult; therefore, we attempt to determine benchmark ages for the extensively studied Gaia benchmark stars which can be used for validation purposes. By searching the literature for age estimates from different methods a
Background We previously showed that the BRCA1 variant c.5096G>A p.Arg1699Gln (R1699Q) was associated with an intermediate risk of breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC). This study aimed to assess these cancer risks for R1699Q carriers in a larger cohort, including follow-up of previously studied families, to further define cancer risks and to propose adjusted clinical management of female BR
