En fråga som dominerar den svenska välfärdspolitiska debatten är den höga ungdomsarbetslösheten. 1990-talets krisår framstår som en brytpunkt. Utbildningsperioderna har förlängts och etableringsfasen har blivit mer utdragen. Flera ungdomar lever i fattigdom, uppbär socialbidrag och fastnar i utanförskap. Till följd av förändringar i ett postindustriellt arbetsliv och i spåren av ny teknik i en til

Kapitlet introducerar copingteorin och hur en sådan kan hjälpa oss att förstå religionens roll vid kriser. Religionens mångdimensionalitet diskuteras och centrala begrepp inom copingteorin presenteras (signifikans, primär, sekundär och tertiär bedömning). Antaganden om copingprocessen och hur denna sammanstrålar med religion introduceras liksom olika strategier för att behålla signifikans

Denna artikel är en undersökning av stress i akademiska miljöer, med fokus på ledarskap och stress. Det är en fallstudie, fyra personer i ledandarroller har intervjuats; alla är från HT-fakulteterna vid Lunds universitet. Jag kommer fram till att systemstress är det som präglar miljön, men även individuell stress. Samta att det tycks vara enormt svårt att hantera/motarbeta. Vissa genusperspektiv h

Two main topics are considered in this thesis: Machining with industrial robot manipulators and optimal motion control of robots and vehicles. The motivation for research on the first subject is the need for flexible and accurate production processes employing industrial robots as their main component. The challenge to overcome here is to achieve high-accuracy machining solutions, in spite of the

Force sensing provides robots the capability to accomplish tasks where physical interaction with the environment is required, such as assembly. Small position uncertainties can then be corrected for by sensing the contact forces. This thesis considers the problem of force-controlled assembly, including how tasks can be specified in a simple and intuitive way and how robust task execution under unc

The 20q13 region is frequently amplified/overexpressed in breast tumours. However, the nature of this amplification/overexpression is unknown. Here, we investigated genetic variation in five 20q13 amplicon genes (MYBL2, AURKA, ZNF217, STK4 and PTPN1) and its impact on breast cancer (BC) susceptibility and clinical outcome. As a novel finding, four polymorphisms in STK4 (rs6017452, rs7271519) and A

The purpose of this study was to explore neuroretinal transplantation in a large animal model of severe retinitis pigmentosa and to establish graft development, long-term survival, graft-host integration, and effects on the host retina. Methods Rhodopsin transgenic pigs, aged 6 months, received in one eye a fetal full-thickness neuroretinal sheet in the subretinal space by means of vitrectomy and

Although Moral Foundations Theory claims that the foundations of morality are universal, there are still few studies addressing it through non-English measures. In the current research, 540 persons filled out a Swedish translation of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire, and 332 of them filled out political attitude measures. Confirmatory factor analyses suggested that the fit of the five-factor mo

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework for conceptualizing critical and creative thinking within doctoral study and to illuminate the connecting and diverging points between the two phenomena in a way that clarifies their developmental relationships. Design/methodology/approach – The conceptual framework is founded in a synthesized understanding of both new and

BACKGROUND:Osteochondral fractures are often seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of acutely injured knees, but their existence has gained little interest because of a lack of knowledge of their relation to treatment options and outcome. It is not clear whether acute phase synovial fluid (SF) concentrations of cartilage and bone markers and proinflammatory cytokines are different between traum

The Euro50 is a proposed optical telescope with an equivalent aperture of 50 m. It will have a segmented primary mirror and full adaptive optics. To study the interaction of the telescope structure, the control system and the optics, an integrated simulation model has been formulated. The mechanical model is a modal version of an Ansys finite element model. The optics model is based on ray tracing

Purpose: To describe the clinical phenotype of the complete type of X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB1) with different types of mutations in the NYX gene. Methods: The clinical and genetic data from 18 male patients with eight different mutations from two ophthalmological institutes were reviewed. The variability in refractive error, reduced visual acuity and full-field electror
