This chapter introduces the volume by presenting the questions of politics and ethics of representation in qualitative research. It also shows how these are approached in the following chapters through analyses of moments of discomfort in our research practice. We situate our work in critical, feminist and engaged scholarship and discuss how creating representation in qualitative research is linke
In safety-critical systems, such as aviation systems, nuclear power plants and hospitals, system failures can cause loss of life, environmental and property damage. Safety-critical systems consists of loose or tight interactions, they are more or less complex, and these characteristics affect the system’s ability to prevent and overcome emerging system failures. The demand for good safety cultures
The paper studies the local solvability and subellipticity for square systems of principal type. These are the systems for which the principal symbol vanishes of first order on its kernel. For systems of principal type having constant characteristics, local solvability is equivalent to condition (Ψ) on the eigenvalues. This is a condition on the sign changes of the imaginary part along the oriente
This chapter presents three interviews with three influential voices in the field of social movement and civil society studies, namely, those of Doug McAdam, Jeffrey Alexander, and Nina Eliasoph. They all share their perspectives on social movements’ role in society’s moral development, the role of morality internally in social movements, and the role of morality for social science as a practice.
The agile methodology is gaining attention among practitioners and researchers in hardware development. As a new methodology, it is a source of misunderstandings and misinterpretations. This is problematic at the managers' levels as they may hinder its adoption or lead to its impractical implementation and use. This study, therefore, aims to explore the manager's level of understanding of the agil
Inflammasomes are large multiprotein complexes that assemble mainly in innate immune cells after detection of microbial or sterile insults. Activation of inflammasomes is a key proinflammatory event during infection, and many pathogens have evolved specific evasion mechanisms to evade or inhibit inflammasome activation. One such pathogen is the common bacterium group A Streptococcus (GAS), which c
It has been suggested that the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters (HJs) in open clusters might reach several per cent, significantly higher than that of the field (~a per cent). In a stellar cluster, when a planetary system scatters with a stellar binary, it may acquire a companion star, which may excite large-amplitude von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai oscillations in the planet's orbital eccentricity, trigger
Object shift (OS) is a word order phenomenon in Scandinavian languages where under some circumstances the object appears before a sentential adverb. Despite the frequent assumptions that word order is determined in syntax, and despite the link of OS and syntactic phenomena like V2, there is no consensus that OS is a syntactic phenomenon. Particularly, it has been observed that OS targets specifica
Chronic glomerular and tubular nephrotoxicity has been reported in up to 50% and 25%, respectively, of children and adolescents treated with ifosfamide and up to 60% and 30% of those given cisplatin. Up to 35% of children have proteinuria and microalbuminuria, implying chronic glomerular damage, after unilateral nephrectomy for a renal tumour. We are still learning about nephrotoxicity due to the
Cycling of water quality constituents in lakes is affected by thermal stratification and homo-thermal conditions and other factors such as oligotrophication, eutrophication, and microbial activities. In addition, hydrological variability can cause greater differences in water residence time and cycling of constituents in man-made lakes (reservoirs) than in natural lakes. Thus, investigations are n
Aim: To determine the ability of serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAp) and tau protein to predict neurological outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods: We measured plasma concentrations of GFAp and tau of patients included in the previously published COMACARE trial (NCT02698917) on intensive care unit admission and at 24, 48, and 72 h after OHCA, and compared them to ne
It is well-known that the morphology of urban areas modifies the variations of climate variables at microscale; known as microclimate conditions. The complexity of urban morphology can lead to undesired wind conditions or excessive air temperature; particularly in extreme weather conditions. This study attempts to quantify the impacts of urban morphology on the evolution of wind speed and air temp
Popular Abstract in Swedish I sökandet efter den rådande fostrings- och disciplineringsdiskursen i svensk skola åren 1947-1956 har Michel Foucaults diskursanalys utgjort en central utgångspunkt i denna avhandling. Jag har inledningsvis redogjort för modernitetens genombrott i Sverige och kort belyst befolkning och utbildning vid mitten av 1900-talet. Skolan som disciplineringsinstitution har beskThe purpose of this monograph is to discern what constituted the dominant fostering and discipline discourse in Swedish compulsory schools during the period 1947-1956. For this purpose Michel Foucault's discourse analysis has played a central role in this thesis. As a starting point, an account of the emergence of modernity in Sweden is given, as well as a brief presentation of the Swedish populat
This study considers the spread, character and development of the Swedish Enlightenment from the early Age of Liberty to the late Karl lohan period. This is done in six case studies three of them biographical and three of them of a more general character partly concerned with the history of concepts; all six case studies touch on the writers' world in the period. Chapter 1, "Dawn", discusses, aft
