Given the calls to examine accelerators across different regions and contexts, we ask the research question: How do accelerators adapt to institutional, social, and spatial constraints of emerging and established ecosystems? With this research question, we conduct qualitative research to understand how two different accelerators, one located in Skåne, Sweden and another located in Dhaka, Banglades
År 1994 trädde Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (1993:387) (LSS) som ett resultat av regeringens utredning. Utredningen, som fick namnet Handikappreformen, kom fram till att det fanns stora klyftor mellan människor med omfattande funktionshinder och människor utan funktionshinder. Dessutom noterade utredningen att de insatser som erhölls enligt socialtjänsten och hälso- och sIn 1994, the Swedish law on certain disabled persons, came into effect as a result of the government’s inquiry. The inquiry was named “Handikappreformen” (in english: The Disability reform). The reform revealed disparities between individuals with disabilities and those without disabilities. Furthermore, the inquiry noted that the support received through social services and healthcare was insuffi
BACKGROUND: The long-term survival of patients with advanced stage aggressive lymphoma has not improved significantly during the last twenty years. In a randomised trial, the efficacy of MACOP-B, a six-drug weekly chemotherapy regimen, was compared to CHOP, the current standard regimen, in terms of overall and failure-free survival, toxicity and health related quality of life.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Klassiska såväl som moderna sociologer har hävdat att moralen förlorat sin sammanhållande funktion i samhället. Medan det förmoderna samhället präglades av en betydligt mer entydig moral, som upprätthölls i ljuset av en religiös och rättslig auktoritet, har det sen- eller postmoderna samhället rört sig mot en uppluckring av det gemensamma goda. Denna förändrade samhällsVoices from within the victim movement express a need for morality to have fixed boundaries between good and evil, right and wrong. However, such a morality is not always easy to define and uphold. It is thought important to consider the victims particular experiences, through another logic and morality than the strictly legally defined. This dissertation studies victim support as a moral definiti

In this study we include enterprise ownership in the empirical analysis to investigate the effect of ownership and the size of such assets on child la
The relationship between the social political constructions; The Orient and The Occident; The East and The West; Them and Us is not a new mental synthesis. However, it was during the colonial era the idea of The Other manifested itself within the narrative. The colonial heritage is still evident in today’s discourse regarding the Diaspora.

Abstract: Gender inequality is to some extent depending on subconscious gender bias, that is, automatic associations that might mis-favour women in academia. The extent to which gender bias in relation to career choices is present in the population has been investigated during many years in an American-based web project but have not yet been investigated among teachers at LTH. In this study, we le
Background: High-throughput sequencing often provides a foundation for experimental analyses in the life sciences. For many such methods, an intermediate layer of bioinformatics data analysis is the genomic signal track constructed by short read mapping to a particular genome assembly. There are many software tools to visualize genomic tracks in a web browser or with a stand-alone graphical user i
Introduction: A decrease in ischemic stroke (IS) incidence has been observed in high income countries during the last decades. Whether this has influenced the occurrence of aphasia in IS is uncertain. We therefore examined the incidence rate and potentially related determinants of aphasia in IS. Methods: We prospectively examined consecutive patients admitted to hospital with first-ever acute IS b
The present compilation thesis is divided into two sections, one for each of two separate methodological issues: reduction of random errors in mortality estimates and offsetting random variation related bias in data generated estimators of risk inequalities. Summary of section A In regard to the first issue a new family of survival functions is proposed. Its purpose is to provide valid and reliabl
Research shows that young people within ethnic minorities are subjected to police control more often than others, which seems to have a damaging effect on their trust in the police as well as on their wider sense of belonging. What is less often researched is how these young people deal with being over-policed.
