In Sweden, accident statistics reveal little, if any, evidence of improvement in health and safety on construction sites. Accident statistics, which adopt a reactive approach, must not be looked upon as merely numbers and figures. They must be able to reveal the underlying factors contributing to the accidents. This paper aims to examine construction safety performance based on accidents data from

The aim of this work is to investigate the internal dynamics of power-exercising in compulsory school and wage labor. The exercise of power is structured by four interrelated power-practices: maintenance, that is the practice which produce and reproduce a power relation through, among other things, the enrolment of subordinates; acculturation, the alteration-of-man power that is exercised inside t

Douglas Portmores förslag på hur vi skall skilja mellan agent-neutrala och agent-relativa skäl disktureras. Enligt förslaget utgörs normativa skäl av en särskild typ av så kallade konjunktiva fakta – dvs. sådana sakförhållanden som råder enligt sanna kontrafaktiska utsagor. Ansatsen är lovande. Emellertid, det också finns en del otydligheter med förslaget som behöver närmare utredas. Uppsatsen lyf

The choice of a polymeric support is a key factor for the success of solid-phase methods for syntheses of organic compounds and biomolecules such as peptides and oligonucleotides. Classical Merrifield solid-phase peptide synthesis, performed on low cross-linked hydrophobic polystyrene (PS) beads, sometimes suffers from sequence-dependent coupling difficulties. The concept of incorporating PEG into

A high fat intake, together with an inability to match lipid utilization of a high-fat intake, is correlated with obesity in man. In this review enterostatin, a peptide, which specifically reduces fat intake, is described. Enterostatin is formed in the intestine by the cleavage of pancreatic procolipase, the remaining colipase serving as an obligatory cofactor for pancreatic lipase during fat dige

In control theory there exist two convenient representations of a model, which are transfer functions and state-space matrices. However, structure in the transfer functions is not clearly seen in the state-space form, and on the other hand structure in the state-space form is not clearly seen in the transfer functions. The main reason for this is that Laplace transformation destroys most types of

Departing from three metaphors—the body as gift, resource, and commodity—the book explores the contemporary exchange of organs, tissues, and cells. Although the gift is the sanctioned metaphor for donating parts of the body, the underlying perspective from the side of states, authorities, and the medical establishment often seems to be that the body shall be understood as a resource. But medicine,
