This is a basic textbook in the psychology of religion, originally published in 1985, used at almost all basic courses at university level in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. The book has been revised four times (1989, 1993, 1999, 2000). New chapters on contemporary spirituality and coping theory have been added.

A collection of original chapters focusing on young people and their political involvement, their use of the internet and other new media for learning the roles and practices of various forms ofcitizenship. The collection is analytically framed by the current dilemmas of democracy

De senaste två decennierna har införandet av kvalitetssäkring varit en bland såväl privata som offentliga verksamheter i Sverige. Trenden har fört med sig nya kvalitetssäkringstekniker, kontrollformer och i viss mån normer och värderingar. I boken beskrivs de tämligen olika förändringsprocesser som införandet av kvalitetssäkring har gett upphov till i hälso- och sjukvården samt revisionsbranschen.

Crosstalk is one of the main limiting factors in the data rates achievable by digital subscriber line (DSL) systems, and several algorithms have been proposed to mitigate this impairment. In this paper, we compare the capacity of binders under different crosstalk-mitigating techniques. When computing capacity, we also compare two different power constraints: either on the total power in the binder

Engineering design problems are most frequently charac-terized by constraints that make them hard to solve and time-consuming. When evolutionary algorithms are used to solve these problems, constraints are often handled with the generic weighted sum method or with techniques specific to the prob-lem at hand. Most commonly, all constraints are evaluated at each generation, and it is also necessary

We have experimented with proprioception in a bio-inspired self-organizing haptic system. To this end a 12 d.o.f. anthropomorphic robot hand with proprioceptive sensors was developed. The system uses a self-organizing map for the mapping of the explored objects. In our experiments the system was trained and tested with 10 different objects of different sizes from two different shape categories. To

A three-phase electrically magnetized synchronous machine has been studied. The peculiarity of the motor is that the magnetization coils are locating on the stationary part and no sources of magnetic energy are introduced in the moving part. The conventional electrical coupling via slip rings has been replaced with a magnetic coupling via additional air-gap. The idea of the design is to investigat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling gäller glibenklamid som är vårt vanligaste läkemedel för oralt bruk i behandlingen av diabetes mellitus, typ 2 (åldersdiabetes). Glibenklamids upptag, fördelning, omsättning och utsöndring har studerats i detalj hos friska människor samt hos patienter med diabetes. Därtill har läkemedlets och dess metaboliters kinetik relaterats till farmako-dynamiska eGlibenclamide (Gb) is the most commonly employed sulphonylurea worldwide for the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). There has been uncertainty concerning its pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). Numerous long-lasting hypoglycemic reactions, which have sometimes been fatal, have been reported and have been difficult to reconsile with an allegedly short elimina
