Popular Abstract in Swedish Föräldrars involvering i skolan har under de senaste decennierna betonats allt mer i skoldebatten. Länge betraktades skolutbildning som enbart ett samhälleligt ansvar, vilket ofta medförde ett markerat avståndstagande från familjen och föräldrarna. Likt andra samhälleliga servicefunktioner har emellertid också skolan i sitt förhållande till sina användare undergått en fOver the last two decades, educational reforms have stimulated an enormous growth in innovative school thinking, effecting both independent schools and mainstream education. Parents and interest groups, previously excluded from general pedagogic practice and planning, are now faced with new opportunities and responsibilities. Parents “invest” in these newly won options in very different ways. Fail

Skogar har en positiv inverkan på halten av växthusgaser i atmosfären eftersom de binder koldioxid via fotsyntesen och lagrar kol i marken. Dessutom utgör många skogar en betydande sänka för växthusgasen metan. Upptaget av metan sker i väl syresatta marker genom oxidation utförd av metanotrofa bakterier. Däremot sker en nettoproduktion av metan i syrefattiga skogsmarker när mikroorganismer, s.k. aPopular Abstract in English Forests have a positive impact on the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere because they absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and store carbon in the soil. Moreover, many forests function as a sink for the greenhouse gas methane (CH4). The uptake of CH4 takes place in well-aerated soils through oxidation by methanotrophic bacteria. However, there is a net

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det har blivit vanligt med beskrivningar av hur olika trender påverkar det sätt på vilket arbetslivet utformas. I första hand rör det sig om informationsteknikens inflytande inom i stort sett alla samhällsområden men det handlar också om en globaliserad ekonomi, ökad konkurrens, samt strävan efter högre kvalitet och större flexibilitet. Denna utveckling kan förstås som The study explores the interaction of general management ideas like TQM (here referred to as technocratic visions) and microprocesses of narrating and organizing in two different contexts: the public sector (health care) and the private sector (manufacturing) in Sweden. The purpose is to provide a better understanding of what happens when models of this type are introduced into a work organization

The red admiral (Vanessa atalanta) is a migratory butterfly that can be found in North America, North Africa, Europe and some parts of Asia. In Europe the main part of the population spend winter in the Mediterranean region and the following spring leave this area to breed further to the north. At least one new generation is then produced in the summer region before they return to the south again

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Denna studie är en undersökning av barns musikskapande med synthesizer och dator. I studien deltog nio barn i åttaårsåldern. Musik utgör en viktig del i barns och ungdomars vardag och den stora exponering för musik som sker i vårt samhälle innebär att ingen är någon musikalisk nybörjare. Det är väl känt att barn kan skapa musik på egen hand, mest är det dock bToday’s children live in a world where music in all its different forms has become a significant factor in their everyday life. From earlier research we know that young children are able to create music by singing and using musical instruments. The present study was undertaken with eight-year-old children in school year 2 in order to investigate the children’s composing and composition processes u

Popular Abstract in Swedish Medborgarlön - ett statligt bidrag som ges till alla medborgare utan inkomst- eller behovsprövning - har varit flitigt diskuterat inom akademiska kretsar under senare år. Bland argumenten för medborgarlön återfinns att det antas ge ett erkännande åt obetalt arbete inom hemmet, en mer jämlik fördelning av lönearbete genom att uppmuntra deltidsarbete, leda till minskad ofBasic income - an income granted by the government to each full member of society without means tests or work requirements - has been a widely discussed subject among academics in recent years. However, basic income has not, in most cases, reached the formal political agenda. The main aim of this book is to discuss why this is the case, with Sweden as the focus of the discussion. The aim is also t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Personer, särskilt äldre, som vårdas på sjukhus kan under vårdtiden utveckla ett tillfälligt förvirringstillstånd (akut konfusion, ACS). Tillståndet är ofta förenat med obehag för patienten och efteråt ber de ibland vårdarna om ursäkt för sitt beteende. Det är därför angeläget att vårdarna har en uppfattning om hur de skall förhålla sig till patientens förvirrade beteenThe aims of this thesis were to investigate factors of significance for the development of acute confusional state (ACS), the confusional episodes, the lived experiences of having been confused in elderly patients admitted for emergency or elective surgery in orthopaedic care. A further aim was to investigate the nurses’ view of the ACS and the encounter with patients who developed ACS. A case stu

Objective-The objective of this study was to determine the conduction properties of the normal atrioventricular (AV) conduction system in relation to accessory pathway (AP) location in patients with symptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Design-The conduction properties of the AP and the AV node were studied in 356 patients with single manifest AP who underwent successful ablation. Results-Si

Over the last two decades there has been a striking and continuous increase in the prevalence of obesity both in industrialized and developing countries. Despite this global consistency there is a variation within countries with a higher prevalence of obesity within rural areas. The overall aim was to explore the prevalence of obesity and factors that influence the development of obesity in a rura

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns en schablonblid av dopseden förr och nu. Lite karikerat skulle den kunna sägas se ut på följande sätt. Förr döptes alla barn. Skälen till att man döpte sina barn var djupt religiösa. Så kom baptismen och bröt barndopsseden. När baptisterna slutade döpa sina barn och sekulariseringesvågen blev allt starkare följde snart många efter. Idag döps barnen framfö alltFrom the time of the establishment of Christianity in Sweden to the middle of the Nineteenth Century all childeren were baptised. In Örebro, in central Sweden, the baptism custom was subsequently broken and weakend. Örebro is in many ways an extreme case. In 1910 only 82 percent of children were baptised. The old dodparent custom was almost extingct in 1910. The dissertation shows the course of ch

Thirteen piston and gravity cores from the Faroe-Shetland area were investigated for their planktic and benthic foraminiferal and oxygen isotopic distributions. Eight time-slices between 18 ka BP and the present were reconstructed to study variations in surface and deep water exchange between the SE Norwegian Sea and the northeast Atlantic Ocean. Today, a relatively strong northward flow of warm N

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den senglaciala och Holocena strandförskjutningen i Östersjön har sin grund i samspelet mellan den isostatiska landhöjningen och den eustatiska havsyteförändringen, vilka är orsakade av den senaste inlandsisens tillväxt och avsmältning. Detta samspel ledde till relativa förändringar av vattenytan i världshaven och har medfört att den nuvarande Östersjön tidvis varit isoLateglacial and Holocene shoreline displacement along the Baltic coast resulted from both the isostatic land uplift and the ice-volume-equivalent sea-level rise. Relative changes of these two components led to alternating contact/isolation of the Baltic Basin with the North Sea during the Holocene. The Littorina transgression was a significant palaeoceanographic change that took place during the m

Alcohol consumption may be associated with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), but the epidemiological evidence for an association with specific anatomical subsites, types of alcoholic beverages and current vs. lifetime alcohol intake is inconsistent. Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), 478,732 study subjects free of cancer at enrolment between 1992 and 200

Xylanases without contaminating cellulases are produced by a wide variety of aerobic bacteria and fungi but anaerobic organisms producing such enzymes are rare. Clostridial species viz., Clostridium beijerinckii LU-1, C. acetobutylicum LU-1, C. butyricum and C. bifermentans LU-1 isolated from rumen produced xylanase (E.C. 3.2.1.8) of 1.5-4.2 U/ml on oat spelt xylan as sole carbon source.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen, vars kontext är staden Jönköping – känd som Smålands Jerusalem – och dess omnejd, vill besvara frågan: Hur utformades och användes berättelsen om missionen i Kina för att åstadkomma och upprätthålla missionsvänskapets hängivenhet? Det var vid skiftet mellan 1880- och 1890-talen, under växande arbetslöshet, bostadsnöd och fattigdom, med konfrontatioThis thesis intends to answer the question: How was the narrative of the mission in China formulated and used to engender and sustain the fervour of the friends of the mission in the 1890s? It was at this time, with growing unemployment, lack of housing, and of poverty – a time when new and challenging ideas emerge – that the interest in the missions to China awoke. The context of the missionary n

OBJECTIVES: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who also have acute coronary syndromes are a high-risk population with a high mortality rate. Little is known about these patients following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS: Patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes between 2006 and 2014 with an angiogram showing 3-vessel disease or left main coronary ar

UNLABELLED: The VDR is a candidate gene for osteoporosis. Here we studied five common polymorphisms of VDR in relation to calcium intake and vitamin D status in a population-based cohort of 3100 British women, but found no significant association with bone mass, bone loss, or fracture.INTRODUCTION: Population studies of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms have produced conflicting results. We p

Modern power system is a complex dynamical system and one of the largest man-made systems. With recent driving forces like environmental concerns over air emissions, the modern power system is evolving towards an even more complex system. So it is necessary to handle the current challenges in power systems with simple approaches and avoid adding further complexity as much as possible. Also the imp
