A review of a doctoral issertation on "The Visitation of the Sick in Swedish Medieval and Reformation Traditions".

The notion of design research entails research where design practice forms part of the knowledge production. Based on our characterization of the nature of design, we propose to conceptualize this kind of research as programmatic design research. Two ongoing PhD projects in interaction design are presented as examples of programmatic research processes, highlighting issues to do with the virtues a

The article presents and discusses a number of recent scholarly attempts to investigate theological and/or religious dimensions of music. On the basis of critical interpretations of these (Anglophone and German) contributions the article proposes an interdisciplinary approach to a theological aesthetics of music. Such a methodology necessitates any "theologizing" to respect the singular qualities

In children’s literature nonhuman primates are often represented either as ferocious beasts or as curios and charmful vicarious children. In this article I demonstrate how these different constructions interestingly coexist in the popular story ‘‘The monkey that would not kill’’, written by the Scottish evangelist and professor of the natural sciences Henry Drummond in 1891. My study anchors the f

Background: Health inequality and its social determinants are well-studied, but the determinants of inequality of alcohol consumption are less well-investigated. Methods: The total differential approach of decomposition of changes in the concentration index of the probability of participation in alcohol consumption was applied to 8-year longitudinal data for Swedish women aged 28-76 in 1988/89.

This paper examines Sweden’s role as a pioneer in mitigating climate change. Critical discourse analysis of climate and energy policy unveils Sweden’s ambition to ‘lead-by-example’, by virtue of a win-win combination of economy and environment via stringent regulations and an early-mover strategy on eco-innovations. The extent of the unilateral approach is constrained by concerns for the competiti

A lattice model for fibril formation on the basis of general peptide interactions is presented. Fibrils are well-structured protein aggregates and a key phenomenon in many diseases, among them Alzheimer. We study the model’s equilibrium and kinetic properties using Wang-Landau sampling and a Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm with cluster moves. The peptides are shown to form ordered fibrilar aggreg

This study focuses on the national system for knowledge-driven management within Swedish healthcare. The study combines theories of governance and implementation with the aim of both analyze the system of knowledge-driven management descriptively, and how it is implemented by local actors. By using text analysis and interviews, the main finding is the complex reality of the system, involving actor

The relationship between development and democracy is robust and enjoys strong scholarly support. While research traditionally has favored country-level comparisons based on objective indicators when studying this relationship, this study crafts an individual-level, perceptions-based index of development, and two measures of support for democracy as a regime type, to approach the relationship. The

Denna uppsats behandlar de rättsliga frågor som uppstår när konserter och idrottsevenemang spelas in, laddas upp eller livestreamas. Bakgrunden är att sådana videor ofta laddas upp på internet, vilket aktualiserar både upphovsrättsliga och avtalsrättsliga frågor. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera rättsläget kring inspelning och tillgängliggörande av konserter och idrottsevenemang. Metoden soThis thesis addresses the legal issues that arise when concerts and sporting events are recorded, uploaded or livestreamed. The background is that such videos are often uploaded to the internet, which raises both copyright and contract law questions. The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the legal situation regarding the recording and making available of concerts and sporting events. The method

The aim of the thesis is to present a safety, health and environmental management system based on ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 for Industry Park of Sweden. The resulting system is based on a gap analysis between an ideal system and IPOS existing management system. The resulting management system emphasis safety culture before regulations and lets the tenants of the Industry Park proceed with their in

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka vilka motiv för börsintroduktion som angavs av de svenska bolag som noterades på Stockholmsbörsen 1997 och att undersöka huruvida bolagens ledning anser att målen med de angivna motiven har motsvarat förväntningarna, samt att undersöka vilka andra eventuella effekter börsintroduktionen har medfört. Vi har som helhet genomfört en kvalitativ studie. Vår undersökning

In ADB Safegate's airfield lighting product portfolio, two sizes of LED inset luminaires consist of similar internal components with different design. This project has investigated the possibilities to find generic design solutions for the internal components to fit both product sizes. By using modularized components the company will decrease the indirect costs of the product, for instance cos
