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
Background: Satisfaction with antenatal care could differ depending on the organisation and the context of care. Aim: To compare antenatal care in Australia and Sweden, to identify deficiencies in the content of antenatal care and what aspects contributed most in dissatisfaction with antenatal care. Methods: A longitudinal survey of 123 Australian and 386 Swedish women recruited during one year in
History plays an important role in the philosophy of human rights, more so than in philosophical discussions on related concepts, such as justice. History tends to be used in order to make it credible that there is a tradition of rights as a moral idea, or an ethical ideal, that transcends national boundaries. In the example that I investigate in this chapter, this moral idea is tightly spun aroun
We offer an analysis of perceptual intersubjectivity (PI) in terms of two types (symmetric and asymmetric) and three levels: synchronous (SPI), coordinated (CPI) and reciprocal (RPI), defined on the basis of the observable behavior of the participants in a study of (non-verbal) social interaction. We hypothesize that the three levels constitute stages in the development and possibly evolution of h
The present work is an example of a Direct-Current resistivity and time-domain Induced Polarization (DCIP) survey, carried out in an urban environment. The main goal of the survey is to map a weak zone in the bedrock, through which a tunnel will be constructed. Geophysical measurements in urban environments can be very complicated due to the restrictions of available space and the high levels of n
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Syncope is a common condition with many possible causes, ranging from benign to life-threatening aetiologies. Establishing a diagnosis can be difficult and specialized syncope units, using cardiovascular autonomic tests (CAT) including head-up tilt test can increase the diagnostic yield. However, up to one fifth of examined patients have inconclusive CAT results. The aim of the
Abstract in UndeterminedThe base of the world income pyramid, generally called the ‘Base of the Pyramid’ (BoP), consists of four billion people with average per day income of less than four dollars. Over the past several years, the design and development of products and services at the BoP (BoP people as producers and consumers as well) has been investigated by several authors from different disci
This thesis explores the relationship between French restrictive policies on the hijab and burqa and their impact on the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Muslim women. It likely delves into the historical context of these policies, analyses the legality and implications of such restrictions, and considers the broader sociocultural and political factors at play. It further examines the inte
