Den strukturella arbetslösheten har legat på 2% under hela perioden 1940-1990. Även efter lågkonjunkturen i början på 1980-talet gick den tillbaka till denna nivå. Dock ökade långtidsarbetslösheten, vilket tyder på att många av de personer som blev arbetslösa under lågkonjunkturen hade problem att ta sig tillbaka in på arbetsmarknaden, trots ökad efterfrågan. Efter 1990-talskrisen ökade både den s

Since the opening of the Chinese borders in 1978, China has transformed in an unprecedented fashion. Constant economic reforms have converted the economy from a planned to a “socialist” market economy. Membership in the WTO has intensified China’s foreign trade and also integrated China in the world economy. Nonetheless, denial of Market Economy Status (MES) from its largest trading partner, the E

Popular Abstract in Swedish Affärsklimatet för dagens energimarknad har varit händelserik de senaste två decennierna med introduktaion av den avreglerade elmarknaden och den ökade vikten av miljöfrågor vid design och inköp av energirelaterade anläggningar. Detta har bidragit med krav om nya analyskriterier, vilka inte bara påverkar den tekniska utformningen av komponenter och system, utan även tilThe business climate of the energy market has been eventful over the last two decades, particularly with the introduction of the deregulated electricity market and promotion of environmental issues. This has subsequently lead to new analysis criteria, influencing both technology requirements and production costs. To be able to manage all the questions that have arisen from this the knowledge of th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar konstnären Elis Erikssons liv och verk ur ett semiotiskt perspektiv. Den semiotiska teori som appliceras i avhandlingen ska ses som en kultursemiotisk eller sociosemiotisk teori. Den är därmed uttryckligen kritisk mot den rigida tillämpning av lingvistiska modeller som så ofta förknippas med semiotiska studier inom humaniora. I enlighet med deThe title of this thesis translates as "Elis Eriksson: Objects and Signs" and concerns the life and work of the Swedish artist Elis Eriksson (1906-2006) as analysed from a semiotic point of view. The semiotic theory applied in the thesis is to be regarded as a theory of cultural semiotics or socio-semiotics, explicitly critical towards the rigid application of linguistic models so often associated

The present meta-analysis investigated the relations between creative self-efficacy (CSE) and creativity measures and hypothesized that self-assessed questionnaires would have a different relation to self-efficacy beliefs compared to other creativity tests. The meta-analysis synthesized 60 effect sizes from 41 papers (overall N = 17226). Taken as a whole, the relation between CSE and creativity meThis meta-analysis investigated the relations between creative self-efficacy (CSE) and creativity measures and hypothesized that self-assessed questionnaires would have a different relation to self-efficacy beliefs compared to other creativity tests.

This volume presents a series of case studies that trace the ways in which audiences across Europe have attempted to return to Pompeii by emulating its interior decorations since the city’s rediscovery in the mid-eighteenth century. As such, it is about both the impact of Pompeian antiquity on the present and the reception in the present of that antique past, exploring the variety of ways in whichThis volume presents a series of case studies that trace the ways in which audiences across Europe have attempted to return to Pompeii by emulating its interior decorations since the city’s rediscovery in the mid-eighteenth century.

The oeuvre of the recently deceased Chilean writer Pedro Lemebel (1952–2014) can be described as an expression for systematically persecuted, repressed, censored minoritarian voices, both during the Chile of the dictatorship, that is during the 1970s and 1980s, as well as afterwards, in democratic Chile, that is from the 1990s onwards. These voices build discourses where gender, class or ethnic id

Information flows can affect people’s apprehension of the pandemic and related behaviors. The aim is to explore how people access and assess COVID-19 information and whether sociodemographic factors are associated with these processes. Quantitative data from 928 persons from 29 countries who participated in an international web-based survey was analyzed with descriptive and analytic statistics.

In contemporary Western theatre and actor’s training, there is a tension between different traditions in the actor’s work, concerning the bodily practices that are related to representation, construction of identities, authenticity and self-expression. One aspect of the actor’s methodical tradition – the openness to suffering and sacrificing oneself in the name of the arts – will be displayed and

Mot bakgrund av kriget mellan Ryssland och Ukraina i närheten av kärnkraft-verket i Zaporizjzja frågar sig många hur civilbefolkningar i dag är skyddade mot en potentiell kärnkraftskatastrof orsakad av krig. Syftet med denna upp-sats är således att undersöka vilka bestämmelser som finns för att skydda ci-vila mot militära attacker på kärnkraftverk i internationella väpnade konflikter, samt att undIn light of the warfare between Russia and Ukraine around the nuclear power plant in Zaphorizhzhya, many wonder how civilians today are protected against a potential nuclear disaster caused by war. The aim of this thesis is therefore to investigate which regulations there are to protect civilians against military attacks on nuclear power plants in international armed conflicts, as well as to exami

Rape and other forms of sexual violence committed with impunity during armed conflicts as well as peacetime has been condemned by the UN and the international community. However, this position is a relatively new. The late reaction to the war-related rapes is partly a consequence of the fact that rape has historically been the subject of myths. Myths such as that rapes represent an inevitable resu

Under covid-19-pandemin blev många anställda rekommenderade eller tvingade att arbeta på distans (Fackförbundet ST, 2020; Wang m.fl., 2021). Sammantaget arbetade 30–40 procent av arbetstagarna hela eller delar av sin arbetstid på distans under pandemin (Myndigheten för arbetsmiljökunskap, 2021). Den fysiska arbetsplatsen var inte längre en självklarhet; från en dag till en annan blev i stället dis

Bakgrund Med en snabbt växande äldre populationsgrupp kommer även andelen med kognitiva störningar, som demens, att växa. Det är således nödvändigt med forskning på kognition och åldrande. Denna avhandling, genom fyra delarbeten, redogör för testledareffekter vid kognitionsmätningar och hur yngre födelsekohorter (generationer) presterar bättre än äldre på kognitionstester. Den kommer även förklaraGiven a growing population of older adults and the common occurrence of natural as well as pathological cognitive decline, i.e. dementia, there is a need to better understand how to accurately measure and classify level of cognitive functioning. Both using multiple test administrators to collect cognitive data and what year the participant is born (birth cohort effects) can influence participants’

Laser Shock Peening (LSP) and Shot Peening (SP) are processes used to mechanically alter the surface properties of metals by inducing a transient high-pressure wave by a laser pulse or by a high-velocity impact of a peening particle. Both processes aim to induce compressive residual stresses near the surface and the level of residual stresses obtained from SP or LSP is similar.
