”Vilken svensk författare motsvarar Japans Yukio Mishima, Tysklands Ernst Jünger och Frankrikes Louis Ferdinand Céline?”, frågar en svensk debattör och forskare i en artikel 2016. Till dessa om än famösa så välkända namn adderar frågeställaren Norges Knut Hamsun respektive Finlands Örnulf Tigerstedt. Med denna fråga som utgångspunkt granskas och prövas i artikeln såväl nazistiska partiledare och n"Which Swedish author could be compared to Yukio Mishima of Japan, Ernst Jünger of Germany and Louis-Ferdinand Céline of France?”, a Swedish debater and researcher asks in an article in 2016. To these well-known, even if infamous, authors, Knut Hamsun of Norway and Örnulf Tigerstedt of Finland are added. With the question raised, Nazi party leaders and Nazi followers as well as national poets of S

Leaders’ debates have become a feature of contemporary election campaigning. While an historical feature of the US landscape, in the United Kingdom, they are a more recent phenomenon. The second UK 2015 general election leadership debate comprised seven candidates, of which three were women. Using qualitative thematic analysis and adopting the notion that gender is ‘performed’, we explore three fe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymermembranbränsleceller (PEM) anses vara en mycket lovande teknik inom fordonsindustrin på grund av dess kompakthet i storlek, höga verkningsgrader samt låga arbetstryck och temperaturer. De senaste åren har tekniken varit fokus för en anseenlig mängd forskning. PEM-bränsleceller har den stora fördelen att energiomvandlingseffektiviteten har potential för att vara bThis thesis presents numerical simulations of reacting transport phenomena in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Broadly, the presented work is subdivided into macro and microscale simulations. In macroscale simulations, a unit PEM fuel cell with interdigitated flow field configurations is simulated keeping in mind all the essential transport mechanisms, i.e., transport of species, ion

This paper examines demand for and access to private-sector extension services by contracted cotton producers in northern Tanzania. Data from a non-random survey of 520 smallholders show that only 21.9% received any extension and only 4.6% received extension from the cotton ginnery. Wealthier households were three times more likely to receive extension from any provider. While the public sector re

The influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the expression of plant nutrient transporters was studied using a relative, quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain-reaction (RQRT-PCR) technique. Reverse-transcribed 18S rRNA was used to standardize the treatments. The technique had high reproducibility and reflected trends in gene expression as observed by Northern blotting. Usin

During the last few years, a more liberal use of premedication in children scheduled for Ürinary tract examinations was noted. In this retrospective study, the influence of the institution of psychological means for preparation as supplement or alternative to premedication on the incidence of cases receiving premedication was investigated. During the period from 1978 to 1982, this was followed in

This contribution consists of a multi-flow rate optimization method to maximize the key performance indicators, yield, degree of resin utilization and productivity for a chromatographic loading step. The protein adsorption to the resin is modeled using a mechanistic column model with a steric mass action adsorption isotherm. The model was used to optimize the flow rate trajectories and the loading

I Sverige har flertalet naturolyckor inträffat genom tiderna och det är även idag vanligt med olika typer av naturolyckor. Dessa förväntas i framtiden inträffa mer frekvent och bli allt mer omfattande till följd av klimatförändringarna. Naturolyckor kan kategoriseras som geologiska, biologiska och hydrometeorologiska. Den sistnämnda är väderrelaterade olyckor och i många fall blir den kommunala räIn Sweden, natural disasters have been occurring for many years and will continue to do so in the future. Not all types of natural disasters are possible in Sweden. This thesis will therefore focus on natural disaster that are more likely to occur in Sweden, based on previous incidents and predictions for the future, namely forest fire and floods. In this thesis, an investigation of municipal Fire

Avsmak i fisk odlad i recirkulerande akvatiska system (RAS) är en problematik som har påverkat fiskodlare runt hela världen. Företaget Gårdsfisk upplever sensoriska skillnader i produktionen mellan deras två anläggningar. Samtidigt vill de kunna kontrollera de sensoriska skillnaderna mellan dagar då fisken spenderar i reningsbassäng. Detta är anledningen till att företaget Gårdsfisk bad om att få Distaste in fish grown in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is a problem that has been going on for a while now and has affected fish farmers all around the world. The company Gårdsfisk experiences sensory differences in production between their two plants. At the same time, they want to check the sensory differences on days when the fish spend in a purification basin. This is why the compan

The adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation proclaimed Europe’s stance on the significance of the right to data privacy today whereas digital technologies have prevailed all around the globe and all spheres of our lives. Digitalization is thus a phenomenon that has ever since drawn attention from leaders and policymakers which why the Regulation along with other European privacy regimes

The aim of this study was to examine how social workers working with the Staircase Model and Housing First can help long-term homeless people with a long history of alcohol and/or drug abuse, their view of the models and how they describe and use their discretion. I used a qualitative method and data was gathered by semi-structured interviews. I interviewed five social workers in four different mu

From the first of October 2019 there was a new supplier of medical equipment in five regions in Sweden. From the second of October we had a medical equipment crisis on our hands. This thesis aims to uncover why one out of five regions was practically unharmed by the supply shortage and if this was due to active measurements taken by the region authorities or something else. The study uses Lundquis
