Kapitlet introducerar forskningen kring personlighet och religion som den bedrivits från 1950-talet fram till nu. Resultat från studier kring den auktoritära personligheten (Adorno), dogmatism (Rokeach), rigiditet–flexibilitet (Rubenowitz), extrinisikal-intrinsikal religiositet (Allport) och religion som medel, mål och sökande (Batson, Ventis och Schoenrade) presenteras.

Abstract in Undetermined Imagining Mass Dictatorship is the fifth volume in the ‘Mass Dictatorship’ series launched by Hanyang University's Research Institute of Comparative History and Culture and published by Palgrave. It sees twelve Swedish and Korean scholars, theorists, and historians of fiction and non-fiction probe the literary subject of life in 20th century mass dictatorships. Generously

This article deals with the establishment of auteurist criticism in early 1950s Britain, particularly emphasizing the role played by Oxford university film journal Sequence and the writings of future film director Lindsay Anderson.

Data from finished projects may stay in a researcher’s mind for many reasons: a fascination for a field, members’ charm, odd circumstances in the collecting process, analytical frustration etc. Yet the possibility of bringing back one’s attention to these data in order to understand them in new conceptual contexts is rarely as valued as the opposite: a quest for new data to be put in one’s famili

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet med denna avhandling har handlat om hormon-känsligt lipas (HKL) och dess roll i β-cellerna, som producerar insulin och finns i bukspottskörteln. För att senare kunna beskriva vad vi har kommit fram till och vad det kan innebära, kommer jag först att kort beskriva HKL och sjukdomen diabetes. Hormon-känsligt lipas Hormon-känsligt lipas (HKL) är ett enzym, som fiHormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is a key enzyme in fatty acid mobilization. It is acutely regulated by extracellular signals via reversible phosphorylation. In the recent past, the focus of type 2 diabetes research has moved towards the lipid component. Lipids interfere with glucose homeostasis in a multitude of ways; they can decrease insulin sensitivity of tissues and cause β-cell dysfunction. Co

Compared to all other countries, the self-governing organisation of the Swedish Student Union has a unique position concerning its influence on Administration, Government and Parliament. Through the Teacher Union’s strike of 1966, its activities have become known in Germany. In particular, the students’ ability of organising lessons over an extended period of time has contributed to their populari

An M-BCJR algorithm is proposed and tested over an AWGN channel with moderate to very intense intersymbol interference (ISI). Two M-BCJR applications are evaluated, simple detection over the ISI channel and turbo equalization. The signaling is binary faster than Nyquist linear modulation. The ISI models tested correspond to transmission of increasingly many bits/Hz-s with a fixed signal spectra; t

Boken innehåller en löpande kommentar till och analys av Hegels första huvudverk "Phänomenologie des Geistes" (1807). Därutöver rymmer den ett antal undersökningar om olika teman och problem relaterade till Hegels verk. Dess grundläggande idé samt övergripande struktur lyfts fram, liksom den idéhistoriska kontext i vilken boken tillkom.

Current and future processor generations are based on multicore architectures where the performance increase comes from an increasing number of cores on a chip. In order to utilize the performance potential of multicore architectures the programs also need to be parallel, but writing parallel programs is a non-trivial task. Transactional memory tries to ease parallel program development by providi

The occurrences of the Romanian interjection "via" in the two published corpora of spoken Romanian (CORV and IV) are analysed using conversation analysis methods and notions from pragmatics and cognitive linguistics. The chapter focuses on the sequential distribution of the interjection, and includes an analysis of the collocations and syntactic relationships that "via" can bear, as well as an ana

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jäst kan antingen bryta ner socker direkt till koldioxid och vatten genom andning, eller indirekt via koldioxid och etanol, genom jäsning. Andning är en process som förbrukar syre, och sker därför endast under syrerika (aeroba) förhållanden. Jäsning kräver till skillnad från andning inte tillgång till syre, och kan därför ske under syrefattiga (anaeroba) förhållanden. Under aerobic conditions, most yeasts such as Kluyveromyces lactis, prefer the respiratory pathway and some, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae prefer less energy efficient fermentative pathway for their energy metabolism. These two metabolic strategies are also known as Crabtree negative and Crabtree positive respectively, and the evolution of the latter has lately been explained by the “make-accum
