Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om skapandet, användningen och avfärdandet av ett socialt begrepp ? utbrändhet. Avhandlingen är ett försök att förklara den komplexa interaktionen mellan individers handlande och deras sociala miljö samt hur detta producerar ett transient fenomen ? utbrändhetsdiagnosen (en ny olycklig människotyp). Följaktligen handlar det om en analys av ett koThis is a thesis about the genesis, use, and decline of burn-out as a social concept in Sweden. The burn-out concept is treated as social because its classification of people interacts with the people classified. As a consequence of this, burn-out is studied in a dynamic holistic way, as an entirely social system within Swedish society. Hence it follows that the main question examined in the thesi

Many stream ciphers use irregular clocking to introduce nonlinearity to the keystream. We present three distinguishers on irregularly clocked linear feedback shift registers. The general idea used is to find suitable linear combinations of keystream bits, here called samples, that are drawn from a biased distribution. We describe how to place windows around the estimated positions around members

Gaia is ESA’s space astrometry mission with a foreseen launch date in early 2012. Its main objective is to perform a stellar census of the 1000 Million brightest objects in our galaxy (completeness to V=20 mag) from which an astrometric catalog of micro-arcsec level accuracy will be constructed. A key element in this endeavor is the Astrometric Global Iterative Solution (AGIS). A core part of AGIS

Is possible to quantify modernization? I will refer as "agnumetry" the measure of the brokenness of an environment; from "agnumy" the Greek word for "break". The presence of broken technologies makes an environment more or less broken; the measurement of this grade of brokenness could be an interesting manner to compare these environments with each other. In this paper, I introduce some criteria t

Almost a decade after the last observations were performed by theInternational Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite its rich archivescomprise a wealth of opportunity for the stellar astronomer, inparticular when exploring large samples of stars. We have inaugurated anexploration into the nature of chemically peculiar stars through thoseelemental abundance studies which are best carried out at UVwa

Recent years have seen a number of exciting developments in the evolving and expanding role of somatostatin and its analog, octreotide, in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It is now clear that octreotide has potential applications not just in imaging, but also in medical therapy and radiotherapy. This book contains the papers from a symposium held in September 2001 in Noordwijk in The Nether

Out of 1914 women who had been instructed to count fetal movements (FMs) throughout the third trimester of pregnancy, 158 consulted the delivery ward staff about decreased FMs; they constituted the study group. Each woman who reported decreased FMs was examined by cardiotocography, analysis of plasma estriol and objective recording of FMs. Appropriate clinical management was decided on by the obst
