In Swedish public debate, economists have been more influential than any other category of social scientists. We examine the views of five great Swedish economists on the role of the university economist in the public arena. What did they say about scholarly objectivity and value judgements, about political commitment and educating the people? The five economists are Knut Wicksell, Gustav Cassel,
CONCLUSION: Intermittent injections of sulfated cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8S) or devazepide caused long-lasting effects on cell proliferation in exocrine pancreas in contrast to continuous infusion. The acinar cells responded to both treatments with changes in the labeling index (LI) during the whole study period. When studying the influence of stimulation and inhibition of the CCK-A receptor on cell
A simple and potentially inexpensive implementation of a high-solids reactor is a single-stage, stratified bed reactor, in which the bed is made up of the plant biomass fed into the system. In the present study, the stratified bed was started up for a period of four weeks by either direct feeding of sugar beet leaves at four different feeding rates, or by introducing a straw bed primer which was b
The application of k(t) factorization supplemented with the Ciafaloni-Catani-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM) small-x evolution equation to heavy quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron and at DESY HERA is discussed. The b (b) over bar production cross sections at the Tevatron can be consistently described using the k(t)-factorization formalism together with the unintegrated gluon density obtained with
Tau-pair production in the process e(+)e(-) --> e(+)e(-) tau(+)tau(-) was studied using data collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP2 during the years 1997 - 2000. The corresponding integrated luminosity is 650 pb(-1). The values of the cross-section obtained are found to be in agreement with QED predictions. Limits on the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau lepton are dedu
Abstract The effects of defects at the steel-concrete interface, the exposure regime, and the cement type, on the initiation of pitting corrosion in specially designed concrete corrosion cells were investigated. Concrete/mortar corrosion cells with cast-in mild steel electrodes representing the reinforcement were exposed for wetting-drying cycles or submerged in NaCl solution. ParalIei field expos
Energy transfer in flow cytometry can occur when two fluorochromes are bound in close proximity (generally within 100 A) and the emission spectrum of one fluorochrome overlaps significantly with the excitation spectrum of the other. The latter criterium is fulfilled for the fluorochromes fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide and also the former when they, e.g., are used in bromodeoxyurid
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling söker visa att psykoanalysen slagit in en bärande vägg i sin egen teori genom att avfärda det psykiska energibegreppet. Eftersom överbringande av information kräver energi (Brillouin) hamnar vi förutan ett psykiskt energibegrepp i epifenomenalism och cartesiansk dualism. Därmed skulle Darwin s a s ställas utanför psykologin. Psykisk energi kan också visThis thesis purports to prove the logical necessity of the psychic energy concept discarded by modern psychoanalysis by linking the "evolutionistic argument" against epiphenomenalism to Brillouin´s negentropy principle. If our conscious awareness of affects and other psychological events should be attributed a signal value at all, they must necessarily exercise effect on the soma. This presupposes
This Masters thesis in Social Anthropology is based on fieldwork carried out among the Matses in the Peruvian Amazon. The study examines local notions of male and female personhood, illness and medicine as well as how these are changing in the current context characterized by an increasing integration of Matses and national society. By combining theories on social reproduction and the person as an
Concurrent with the acceleration of globalization there has been an increasing tendency of communal conflicts. Resisting the possibility of the Indian government to acquire land, an expanding movement of opposition is taking place. The purpose of this paper is to highlight what motivates people to turn toward violence. The paper focuses on the Maoist movement in Chhattisgarh, India, tracing the pr
Coffee production systems are experiencing climate change stress in a multitude of ways. One of the ways in which climate change manifests itself in coffee systems is through the evolution of pest and disease populations. Global coffee production is thereby recognized as vulnerable to climate change, particularly the lives of those that rely on coffee for their livelihoods. Reducing vulnerability
This research aims to question and uncover the social sustainability paradox arising from the inconsistent practice of third sector organisations’ values, for both their external stakeholders and internal workforce. To achieve so, this thesis discusses how the values are created, delivered and affected through the topology of the third sector, the organisational theories, sustainability theory and
This thesis examines how the transition from a linear product development process to a faster and iterative one affects the extent and quality of cross-functional collaboration within a company. It investigates both what changes such a transition entails, as well as how they may be explained. The setting of the study is the software development department of a multinational consumer electronics fi
This study investigates whether privately funded aid projects enable a more effective development compared to publicly run, with the perspectives of local street-level bureaucrats at focus. The purpose is to highlight aid workers as much of policy is being formed and put into practice at street-level rather than policy level in developing countries. New emerging actors on the aid arena also calls
Abstract: Research has consistently show divergent economic outcomes between men and women following divorce. Typically men fare better with either small declines in income or even small gains, whereas women and children face tougher financial penalties. These findings however have not been consistent both in their amount and also their explanations and so valid questions remain. Through multivari
This thesis compares the Swedish cities of Lund’s Meaningful Meetings and Umeå’s Curiosity and Passion - The Art of Co-Creation applications to be named European Capital of Culture (ECOC) 2014. The applications focus on two criteria of the EU, European Dimension and City and Citizens. The way the two bids worked with the criteria will reveal the process of Europeanisation – the process of creating
This study aims to look at the link between in utero malnutrition and the survival probabilities of fetuses and newborns, using the 2002 food shortages in Malawi as an instrument for malnutrition. Concretely, it looks at differences in the probability of a born child being a male and in neonatal mortality between children in utero affected by food scarcity and those born right before and after the
Mosasaurier är en grupp utdöda, havslevande ödlor som fanns under den senare delen av krittiden (dvs. för 98–66 miljoner år sedan). Mosasaurierna var uteslutande rovdjur och medlemmar av gruppen var utrustade med kraftfulla käkar och tänder. Under sin levnad bytte djuren kontinuerligt sina tänder för att på så sätt kunna ha ett funktionellt bett. Det finns tre huvudsakliga typer av tandmorfologierMosasaurs are an extinct group of aquatically adapted lizards that became the dominant marine tetrapods during the latter half of the Cretaceous. Mosasaurs continuously shed and replaced their teeth to maintain a functional dentition. The shape of the crowns also provides a good indication of dietary habits, where a slender shape indicates teeth adapted for cutting or piercing, whereas a more blun
