Prostitution as a construction - The social worker in the tension between society and the individual Discussions about prostitution seems to be of large interest for different feminist groups. The main discussions are about whether people sell sex as a result of free will, or if prostitution is a part of patriarchal structures, and that people selling sex, have been forced to do so in one way, or

Sociala hänsynstaganden, som exempelvis spelberoende, minderårigas spelande samt förebyggandet av brottslighet och bedrägeri, har traditionellt motiverat Medlemsstaternas nästintill ovillkorliga rätt att reglera spel på nationell nivå. När spel på Internet introducerades valde EU-domstolen att applicera samma argument och fortsätta bekräfta denna rätt. Internetspel har dock förändrat den traditionConcerns of public interest, such as the prevention of problem gambling, underage gambling and evading the risks of crime and fraud, have in the jurisprudence of the CJEU traditionally been used to justify a wide discretionary right for the Member States to regulate gambling. When online gambling was introduced, the CJEU decided to apply the same arguments and continue to affirm the strong rights

In the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 a multigene family of three different isozymes encodes the proteolytic subunit ClpP of the ATP-dependent Clp protease. In contrast to the monocistronic clpPI gene, clpPII and clpPIII are part of two bicistronic operons with clpX and clpR, respectively. Unlike most bacterial Clp proteins, the Synechococcus ClpP2, ClpP3, ClpR and ClpX proteins

Sweden has a small internal market and, thus, bases its wealth on the exports. Following the so-called Rhen-Meidner model this objective is also achieved thought the solidarity wage: wages are parametrized on a lead-ing sector (generally the major export industry) and because each firm faces the same labour cost they are obliged to base their competitiveness on higher productivity levels (reached

For some time Sweden has avoided the involvement of therapy dogs in health and social care. In spite of other countries who’s been using dogs for several years, Sweden has been sceptical of the alleged positive influence that dogs supposedly can have on humans. In countries like England, Austria and the US you can find educations on university level for dogs to be used when treating humans. Up unt

We investigated the effect of collimator selection on image quality in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) studies of the brain performed with 99Tc(m)-HMPAO. A triple-headed SPET system (GE/CGR Neurocam) was used, together with three sets of parallel-hole collimators - general-purpose (GP), high-resolution (HR) and ultra-high-resolution (UHR). Two image quality parameters were used to describe the

What we can conclude from this study is that the state and the market are not perfect substitutes in allocating resources and sustaining economic development separately. The case of the Thai cassava industry seems to suggest that the Thai state is not benevolent, but predatory in nature. The central point is that the Thai state cannot be simply seen as weak and predatory without understanding the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudsyftet med avhandlingen är att formulera en teoretiskt och empiriskt förankrad konsultationsmodell för psykologer i skolsammanhang. Idéer och handlingsstrategier tydliggörs så att de kan tillämpas, värderas och vidareutvecklas av andra yrkesutövare. De tänks även kunna utgöra en referensram för psykologers, specialpedagogers och andra specialisters teamarbete. VidaThe primary aim of this thesis is to formulate a theoretically and empirically based consultation model for psychologists in school contexts. Ideas and strategies are clarified so that they can be applied, evaluated, and further developed by other professionals. The model has been constructed with an interactional approach, with the stress on patterns of interaction between grown-ups and children

This study suggests a predominantly socially-strategic function of the silver found in Viking Age hoards, more specifically, connected to the realm of customary law and the blood feud as a social institution. This suggestion is based on a quantitative and contextual analysis of the Íslendingasögur, and a comparison between the function of silver in the sagas and the composition and context of the

Background: Pulmonary involvement, manifested as pulmonary arterial hypertension or pulmonary fibrosis, is the most common cause of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc). We aimed to explore the feasibility of detecting early pulmonary involvement in SSc using recently developed non-invasive quantitative measures of pulmonary physiology using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods: Twenty-se

In a revision of the stratigraphic classification of the subsurface Upper Ordovician succession of Gotland, the terms Lower and Upper Ostersjo Limestone are rejected and replaced by the Slandrom Limestone and the File Limestone, respectively. Two mound generations are recognized, the Rakveran-Nabalan Liste mounds and the Pirguan Klasen mounds, the latter being by far the most common. Both occur no

Earlier studies have shown different effects on cell proliferation and weight characteristics by sulfated cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8S) in the rat pancreas when the peptide has been administered continuously rather than intermittently. The aim of this study was as follows: (i) to compare the effect of continuous infusion and of intermittent injections of CCK-8S on cell proliferation, weight gain, and
