Om realsocialismens och Sovjetkommunismens fall var en seger för demokratin, var det det mångdubbelt för kapitalismen. För i de forna kommandoekonomier där de demokratiska principerna inte fått något större genomslag har i alla fall kapitalismen lyckats slå rot. Kapitalismen har idag blivit grundförutsättningen för allt ekonomiskt och politiskt handlande. Även i välfärdskapitalismens länder har en

About King Gustaf V.

Within the research project ‘Language and language use among young people in multilingual urban settings’ (Lindberg 2004) my role is to describe SMG pronunciation, the pronunciation of ‘Swedish on Multilingual Ground’ (e.g. Rosengård Swedish). Thanks to means placed at my disposal by the Faculty of Humanities at Lund University, I am able to broaden my research field to include also a comparison o

The aim of this paper is to study the covariance structure for the difference between satellite measurements and meteorological forecasts of near-surface ocean winds. This type of covariance enters in assimilation techniques such as Kalman filtering. I all, six residual fields are studied. Us of a Box-Cox transformation leads to approximately symmetrically distributed residual wind speed fields.

CONTEXT: Prior studies have demonstrated conflicting results regarding how much information novel biomarkers add to cardiovascular risk assessment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the utility of contemporary biomarkers for predicting cardiovascular risk when added to conventional risk factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Cohort study of 5067 participants (mean age, 58 years; 60% women) without cardi

BACKGROUND: Folate is involved in DNA synthesis and methylation and may thereby influence carcinogenesis. OBJECTIVES: We examined plasma folate (P-folate) concentration in relation to genotypes of the folate-metabolizing enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [MTHFR 677C<--T (rs1801133) and 1298A<--C (rs1801131)]. We also explored whether P-folate was associated with risk of postmenopausal bre

The purpose of this study is to assemble information of costs per fatal casualty in traffic accidents, adopted by authorities in different countries. analyse and compare these figures as well as the methods used for estimating these values. A questionnaire was sent to 19 countries from which 11 gave information on cost per fatality and methods of valuation. The costs per fatality, usually defined

The main aim of the present thesis is to demonstrate the efficient quantum memories for light employing coherent processes in rare-earth-ion-doped crystals. Rare-earth (RE) ions between lanthanum, with atomic number 57, and lutetium, with atomic number 71, have a partly filled 4f shell, which is spatially inside the full shells 5s, 5p, and 6s. Therefore, 4f-4f transitions are shielded from environ

Description of N. Tom Wright's important contribution to Jesus research, focusing on his methodology.

Objective: To compare guidelines from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) based on the Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) with a protocol based on logistic regression model LR2 developed by the International Ovarian Tumour Analysis (IOTA) group for triaging women with an ovarian mass as low, moderate, or high risk of malignancy.
