The chapter studies the relationship between inequality and institutional change in the long-run. The key message is that societies change slowly and unpredictably because of path dependency of economic, political, and social institutions. Prevalent inequalities between different groups rooted in history may help to explain why change does not take place. This has implications for the results that
COSM01: Introduction to Asian Studies (Autumn 2024) Course director Paul O’Shea, other teachers include Marina Svensson The course is a 6-credit mandatory component of the Asian studies master programme. It focuses on the history and development of the field of Asian Studies and how to understand contemporary issues from an interdisciplinary Asian Studies perspective. The course will introduce stu

Artikeln behandlar det museala arbetet inom Kongl. Museum från 1790-talet till och med 1850-talet, med omgestaltade rum, förvärv av samlingar, konservatorernas arbete och Konstakademiens utbildning av konstnärer. Under denna period växer museiprofessionen fram, vilket utgör förutsättningen för det nya museet på Blasieholmen på 1860-talet.
The concept of self-stigmatization is guided by a representational account of selfhood that fails to accommodate for resilience against, and recovery from, stigma. Mainstream research on self-stigma has portrayed it only as a reified self, that is, as collectively shared stereotypes representing individuals’ identity. Self-stigma viewed phenomenologically, however, elucidates what facilitates a st
An investigation on the different levels of interpretation of medieval architectural iconography. The architecture and sculpture of Lund cathedral is related to function, history, politics and religion.
Thermal actions are considered in the design of bridges, as temperature variations can lead to restraint stresses and subsequent cracking. However, load descriptions are in some cases oversimplified or incompatible with modern applications, and background studies are limited. This paper therefore aims to develop a more detailed load description for the load case describing temperature differences
Denna rapport sammanfattar några studier som på olika sätt syftar till att förbättra metodiken för att analysera samhällsekonomiska effekter av kollektivtrafikinvesteringar. Förbättringarna som behandlas är 1) vikten av att ta med bristande kapacitet (trängsel) i kalkylerna; 2) förbättrade beräkningar av driftskostnader; 3) effekter av tillgänglighet på arbetsmarknad och produktivitet (s k ”wider
Hydrotropic extraction (HEX) is a method for the delignification of lignocellulose that has been given increasing amounts of attention during the last couple of years. A hydrotrope is an amphiphilic substance, which, in high enough concentrations, can improve solubility of otherwise poorly soluble substances in water. The most commonly used substance for HEX-delignification is sodium xylenesulfona
Separately collected urine is an attractive potential fertilizer because of its high nutrient content, low cost, and inherent linkage of urban wastewater management and peri-urban agriculture. Urine from waterless urinals was applied to corn and lettuce plants to examine the impact of urine application rates and frequency on plant growth and soil parameters. In both corn and lettuce experiments, u
This article aims to demonstrate that building envelopes can be designed to improve the performance of public open space in Hong Kong. It investigates how such improvement can be used to negotiate between objective and regulation in planning standards. Addressing a research site with a publicly accessible pocket park in the Mong Kok area, the article explores generative potentials at the interface
The present study was undertaken to correlate calcium accumulation with the development of neuronal necrosis following transient ischemia. After 10 min of forebrain ischemia in the rat—a period that leads to reproducible damage of CA1 pyramidal cells—determination of calcium concentration and evaluation of morphological signs of cell body necrosis in the dorsal hippocampus were performed at variou
In her dissertation Aspektuella hjälpverb i svenskan, Maria Bylin investigates the evolution of six aspectual auxiliaries in Swedish (bruka ‘use to’, tendera ‘tend to’, börja ‘begin’, fortsätta ‘continue’, sluta ‘stop’ and hota ‘threaten’). The study is conducted within the framework of grammaticalization, and Bylin’s primary method is to apply so-called auxiliary tests on a historical material co
