Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med min avhandling är att skildra de grundläggande drag som bär upp den politiska kulturen för att synliggöra förutsättningarna för politiskt engagemang. Utifrån olika vardagssituationer beskrivs hur det går till att ”göra” politik. Jag följer två nämndordföranden i Helsingborgs kommun i deras politiska vardagsarbete och lyfter fram olika situationer för att konk
Popular Abstract in English Our exploitation of yeasts, dating back to the Neolithic period, in fermented and baked foods remains deeply routed in societies due to their cultural and economic importance. Due to the long intimate relationship with yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the “baker’s yeast” remains the organism of choice. However, there is an enormous biodiversity of other yeasts, termed Abstract: For millennia, the “yeast” Saccharomyces cerevisiae remains by far the most extensively studied and exploited yeast in food and industrial applications. A number of researches and developments have been done since the establishment of the biochemical function of yeast by Louis Pasteur in 1860, however modern lifestyles often connected to food related health trends demand new and innovati
Glypicans are multifunctional cell surface heparan sulphate proteoglycans co-regulating numerous signalling pathways, and are thereby involved in the control of cellular division, differentiation, and morphogenesis. The heparan sulphate (HS) chains are responsible for many of those biological functions; nevertheless recent studies suggest functional roles for the glypican core proteins in mediatin
When robots are working in dynamic environments, close to humans lacking extensive knowledge of robotics, there is a strong need to simplify the user interaction and make the system execute as autonomously as possible, as long as it is feasible. For industrial robots working side-by-side with humans in manufacturing industry, AI systems are necessary to lower the demand on programming time and sys
We consider sequences of points obtained by projecting a given point B=B (0) back and forth between two manifolds and , and give conditions guaranteeing that the sequence converges to a limit . Our motivation is the study of algorithms based on finding the limit of such sequences, which have proved useful in a number of areas. The intersection is typically a set with desirable properties but for w
The period between 1945 and 1960 is in many ways interesting. It is a period in Sweden, which is characterized by modernity. It is also an interesting period in Swedish musical life concerning art music. Modern music (i.e., atonal and twelve-tone music) has always faced a resistance, which has come from the public, the academics, social prejudices, or the critics. During the 1940s and 50s, modern
Traditionally, occupational injury rates are measured as number of injuries per amount of work. In contrast, we propose that for certain purposes of economic policy, a more relevant measure could be obtained by considering them as production costs and comparing them with output. This was accomplished by replacing “hours worked” in the traditional formulae for estimating accident risk with “value a
Quasi-experimental study of effects of an organizational intervention on staff and patients over a 8 year perspective; Before, under and after an organizational change. Effects on staff are staff-turnover, fatigue and burnout (n=268) on Three wards including the intervention ward. Independent variables are staff demographics, education, experience, job status, sick-leave and responses on a burn-ou
Sparse sums of Lorentzians can give good approximations to functions consisting of linear combination of piecewise continuous functions. To each Lorentzian, two parameters are assigned: translation and scale. These parameters can be found by using a method for complex frequency detection in the frequency domain. This method is based on an alternating projection scheme between Hankel matrices and f
The kinematics of swimming frogs have been studied extensively in the past and, based on these results, hypotheses regarding the hydrodynamics of frog swimming can be generated. To test these hypotheses we used digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) to quantify the flow structure of the wake produced by the feet during the propulsion phase of the kick of surface swimming frogs (Rana pipiens). T
The concept of culturomics was born out of the availability of massive amounts of textual data and the interest to make sense of cultural and language phenomena over time. Thus far however, culturomics has only made use of, and shown the great potential of, statistical methods. In this paper, we present a vision for a knowledge-based culturomics that complements traditional culturomics. We discuss
Det finns flera viktiga rättsliga principer inom svensk processrätt. Några av de viktigaste är principerna om muntlighet, omedelbarhet och koncentration som funnits sedan rättegångs- balkens (1942:740) ikraftträdande 1948. Principerna är därmed gamla. I dagsläget är vittnesattester som huvudregel förbjudet enligt 35 kap. 14 § rättegångsbalken. Detta betyder att de tidiga förhör som görs under föruBy far the most important principles in Swedish procedural law are the principle of oral pro- ceedings, the principle of immediateness and the concentration principle. These are long standing principles that have been in accordance with the Swedish Code of Judicial Procee- dings (1942:740) since it came into force in 1948. The society since then has changed rapidly and there is need for the Swedis
För att få lov att demonstrera krävs att anordnaren ansöker om tillstånd för allmän sammankomst i enlighet med ordningslagen (1993:1617) som Polismyndigheten sedan kan godkänna eller avslå. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda om det bör vara möjligt att vägra tillstånd till en allmän sammankomst och därigenom begränsa mötes- och demonstrationsfriheten med hänvisning till hot om terrorattentat mot SIn order to be allowed to protest, the organizer must apply for a permit for a public gathering in accordance with the Public Order Act (1993:1617), which the Police Authority then approves or rejects. The purpose of the paper is to investigate whether it should be possible to refuse a permit for a public gathering, thereby limiting the freedom of association and the right to demonstrate, with ref
The aim of my thesis is to provide research-based insight into AI technologies for information seeking’s place in future school library operations. To achieve this aim, I am looking at Swedish school librarians’ perceptions and views on AI technologies for information seeking, especially in connection with their work on media and information literacy. My research questions are as follows: (Q1) How
AI systems are part of our daily lives and not only science fiction. In the healthcare sector are medical AI systems used to monitor patients, compare x-rays in order to detect diseases, or to even make a diagnosis. These AI systems help healthcare providers to make the work of doctors and nurses more efficient and to ensure the best service for their patients. However, next to these benefits come
Climate-induced migration has received an increased amount of attention as an area of research. Earlier studies identify ideal typical discourses of climate-induced migration, in which climates migrants have been positioned as a ‘threat’, as ‘passive victims’ and most recently as ‘adaptable agent’. Drawing on poststructural discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe and postcolonial theory this essay h
Denna uppsats utreder vad samhällskontraktet är enligt Thomas Hobbes och John Lockes olika teorier. Den undersöker också möjligheten att lämna samhällskontraktet och om det idag finns exempel på grupper som försöker lämna det. Samhällskontraktsteorin är en rättsfilosofisk teori som försöker besvara frågan varför människor underkastar sig någon annan när de från början är fria människor. Hobbes ochThis essay examines what the social contract is according to Thomas Hobbes and John Locke’s different theories. It also examines the possibility of leaving the social contract and if there groups that are trying to leave the contract currently exist. The social contract theory is a legal philosophical theory that tries to answer the question of why humans submit to another when they originally are
33 och 36 §§ i lagen (1915:218) om avtal och andra rättshandlingar på förmögenhetsrättens område (AvtL) är båda generalklausuler som utgör en del av avtalsrättens ogiltighetsregler, men 36 § AvtL har ett betydligt större tillämpningsområde. Av detta skäl har 33 § AvtL beskrivits som i princip helt överflödig. Relativt nyligen kom dock en dom från PMÖD, där 33 § AvtL med framgång åberopades för attBoth section 33 and section 36 of the Swedish Contracts Act (1915:218) are general clauses which are a part of the field of contract law, but section 36 has a much greater scope of application. For this reason, section 33 has been described as redundant. However, in a recent judgement from the Patent and Market Court of Appeal section 33 was successfully used to force a gambling company to pay bac
