How do political parties arrive at their policy positions? We conceptualize position formation in federalist countries as an intra-party bargaining process in which subnational parties compete with each other in an attempt to get their own positions into their national party manifesto. Drawing on theories about inter-party bargaining over ministerial portfolios, we hypothesize that the bargaining
Background. People travelling abroad tend to increase their use of alcohol and other drugs. In the present study we describe organized party activities in connection with young tourists' drinking, and the differences between young people travelling with and without organized party activities. Methods. We conducted ethnographic observations and a cross-sectional survey in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria. Res
The fall of Yugoslavia in the 1990s led to a series of political upheavals, culminating in the 1992 referendum in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This referendum triggered the Bosnian War, which was finally ended by the Dayton Peace Agreement signed on December 14, 1995. The Dayton Peace Agreement aimed to stabilize the country by establishing a power-sharing arrangement among its three ethnic groups - Bo
This article presents a short biographiclal account of Göran Therborns early years, hist studies, his early contribtions to sociology as well as to the New Left and the Marxist discussions in the 1960's and the 1970's, with a focus on the Swedish context.
Malnutrition is the most common comorbidity during the continuum of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and negatively impacts clinical outcomes, response to therapy, quality of life, and costs. The intensive conditioning regimen administered before transplant causes inflammatory damages to the gastrointestinal system, which themselves contribute to trigger graft versus host disease (GvHD) i
Transverse Resonant Island Buckets (TRIBs) is a promising method for pseudo-single bunch delivery in the MAX IV 1.5 GeV storage ring. In this thesis, a theoretical model of the non-linear optics based on resonant Hamiltonian mechanics is applied to the TRIBs optics. Measurement techniques for characterizing the TRIBs orbit are developed and tested and compared with theoretical predictions and nume
The study and understanding of collective effects plays a vital role for fourth-generation light sources. These effects mostly need to be mitigated and controlled to achieve the design operational parameters. However, they can also be utilized to gain insights into the properties of the machine. While the 3 GeV storage ring at the MAX IV light source is running in multi-bunch mode during user oper
The commissioning of the MAX IV synchrotron radiation facility in Lund marks the dawn of a new generation of storage-ring-based light sources. This new generation delivers one order of magnitude higher performance and allows realization of groundbreaking experiments on a variety of systems and materials at the atomic and molecular levels. This paper reviews the conceptual basis of the MAX IV desig
This study seeks to disclose some of the scientific and philosophical ideas that inform the green movement and its ideology. These ideas, like the groups that have been attracted to the movement, are seemingly heterogeneous. This is one reason why attaining a generally accepted ideology is proving to be a drawn-out process. A second reason considered here is the perceived anomalies inherent to th
