This paper uses two previous studies of unlawful discrimination, which I carried out in Sweden in 1992 and 1996, to develop a more comprehensive sociological method for studying anti-discrimination laws. The initial question asked in these studies concerned the impact of the Swedish Act against Ethnic Discrimination (the AED), i.e. how the legal system dealt with unlawful discrimination and to wha
In this work, the structural framework of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane has been utilized as a core building block in the synthesis of novel supramolecular architectures. The solid state of variously functionalized derivatives of this bicyclic compound has also been addressed from a supramolecular point of view. An improved methodology for the large scale preparation of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,6-dione was d
As an historian studying the Swedish migration to America, I often come across the notion that the Swedish sources on the subject are excellent and that we who studies swedish migration are fortunate because of this. It is generally thought that 1.2 million swedes emigrated to America and that about 200.000 people returned to Sweden, but is this true? In my ongoing study of the return migration
Background. Primary care doctors see patients from diverse cultural backgrounds and communication plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment. Communication problems can arise when patient and doctor do not share the same cultural background. Objective. The aim of this study was to examine how consultations with immigrant patients are understood by GPs and how GPs manage these consultation
Purpose: To examine how the library user emerges in the context of the LibQUAL+ application in Sweden in 2004. Design/methodology/approach: The paper examines the following aspects: how the information control dimension is depicted in the results of the Swedish participants; how the information control dimension compares between the Swedish implementation and other libraries; the "new user" as he
Using literature data on the gas phase reaction between free lanthanide atoms and carbon dioxide, we have found an isokinetic relation for seven of the twelve investigated elements with an isokinetic temperature, T-iso of 2500 +/- 330 K. This value is analyzed in the framework of the model of selective energy transfer, SET, indicating that metal-CO2 complexes are formed as pre-reaction states. The
Many insects use the pattern of polarized light in the sky for spatial orientation and navigation. We have investigated the polarization vision system in the desert locust. To create a common platform for anatomical studies on polarization vision pathways, Kurylas et al. (2008) have generated a three-dimensional (3D) standard brain from confocal microscopy image stacks of 10 male brains, using two
Elements of the Ordovician conodont genus Protopanderodus have been investigated in order to provide a model of reconstruction for its oral apparatus. In total, 4202 elements from the five named species representing this genus in the Swedish Middle Ordovician are included in this study; P. rectus, P. parvibasis, P. graeai, P. robustus, and P. calceatus. The well-preserved specimens were studied in
OBJECTIVE: Examine how meal patterns are associated with nutrient intakes, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors, and energy misreporting. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study within the Malmö Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort. Participants reported on the overall types and frequency of meals consumed, and completed a modified dietary history, a lifestyle and socioeconomic questionnaire, and anthropometric me
Purpose: This study explores informational structures producing and organizing the construction of waste sorting in Sweden. It shows how the issue is constructed by it being searched for in Google and how this contributes to the specific informational texture of waste sorting in Sweden. It is guided by the following questions: Who are the main actors and which are the central topics featuring in G
Central to the field of agrarian political economy, is rural development and capitalism’s advancement in the countryside and its consequences for the peasantry, ‘the agrarian question’. With the present case study, I examine the interplay between social relations of production and agrarian change in eastern Bolivia. Using the case study of Ramada, a small indigenous community, this dissertation in
Introduction: Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) is implemented in Swedish general Mental Health Services. While FACT focuses on supporting the participation and personal recovery of individuals with complex mental health needs, critical components enabling these aspects are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to understand the critical components of FACT delivery supporting pa
In this thesis, the effectiveness of municipal climate policies aiming to influence citizens’ electricity consumption to address the sustainability challenge of climate change was investigated. The cases of two policies of the city of Frankfurt am Main, the electricity-saving counselling and electricity-saving premium, were considered. A qualitative research approach was taken, by conducting twent
Problem definition: Supply chain segmentation is a topic which in later years has received increasing attention from supply chain managers of companies in industrial settings. To members of the supply chain research community the ideas and theoretical contributions underlying the concept of supply chain segmentation are hardly new, but have evolved ever since the beginning of the 1990s. However, a
This thesis purpose is to investigate to what extent gender equality norms have developed in Sweden over the last 40 years. In order to do this I will use Carol Bacchi’s method, ”What’s the problem represent to be”, and six questions that she has created within this method. These questions are applied on four different governmental propositions, that discuss the parental leave insurance and gender
It is clear that media advertising is one of the crucial marketing tools for companies in order to promote their products and services. As we are moving towards more and more economic integration, both on a regional and global scale, the question about standardisation of media advertising has become increasingly important and is nowadays subject to discussion in most international companies.
