In a study on the problems of censorship and interpretation from 1984, (Censorship and Interpretation; The Conditions of Reading and Writing in Early Modern England), Annabel Patterson states that British authors of the seventeenth century often used the shelter of ambiguity as a protection from the threat of censorship. But as the text had to be understood by the intended readers, Patterson argue

Non-genetic inheritance, e.g. transgenerational epigenetic effects, has received increasing interest in recent years, particularly in plants. However, most studies have involved a few model species and relatively little is known about wild species in these respects. We investigated transgenerational induced resistance to infection by the devastating oomycete Phytophthora infestans in Solanum physaNon-genetic inheritance, e.g. transgenerational epigenetic effects, has received increasing interest in recent years, particularly in plants.

In recent years, two Swedish companies have been a focus of substantial media attention: TeliaSonera and Lundin Petroleum. The defensive strategies employed by these two businesses to deal with allegations of crime will be analysed on the basis of Stanley Cohen’s theoretical work on processes of denial and neutralisation techniques. This paper will focus on a particular form of denial, namely the In recent years, two Swedish companies have been a focus of substantial media attention: TeliaSonera and Lundin Petroleum.

Ensuring functional safety is crucial for the deployment of autonomous systems in real-life dynamic environments, as they must operate reliably and safely among humans. However, existing safety systems are designed with a closed-world assumption and can over-constrain the system by shutting down the robot at every safety violation, limiting the robot’s ability to complete its tasks. To address thi

Denna studie undersökte ungdomars erfarenheter av viktmobbning i en svensk skolkontext, samt hur ungdomar upplever skolans strategier för att hantera viktmobbning och vilka insatser de önskar att skolan hade vidtagit. Eftersom tidigare forskning som fokuserar på själva upplevelsen av viktmobbning är begränsad, gjordes en explorativ kvalitativ studie där en kritisk realistisk position intogs för atThe aim of this study was to investigate adolescents’ experiences of weight- related bullying in a Swedish school context, how they experience the schools’ strategies for weight-related bullying and which actions they wished the schools had taken. Since previous research on the subject is limited, an explorative qualitative study was conducted in which a critical realist position was adopted. The

The present study proposes a novel sorting algorithm for identification of patients with atrial fibrillation in large one-lead ECG repositories. Repeated measurements at home with automatic transmission of data to a central database is presently tested in the search for atrial fibrillation for the long-term purpose to reduce the incidence of stroke. Such screening rapidly generates large databases

Early therapeutic intervention and use of new highly efficacious treatments have improved the outcome in many patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but have also led to the need for more precise methods to evaluate disease activity. In adult rheumatology, numerous studies have established the importance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (US), and MRI is considere

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige betonas idag alltmer det hälsofrämjande arbetet riktat mot barn, ungdomar och deras föräldrar. Olika föräldrastödsaktiviteter erbjuds. Det behövs ökad kunskap om varför vissa aktiviteter fungerar bättre än andra. Det är även viktigt att känna till föräldrarnas motiv för att deltaga och upplevelser av stödaktiviteten. Syftet med denna avhandling var att belysa In today's Swedish society there is increasing emphasis on health-promotive work among children, adolescents, and their parents. Knowledge is needed about why certain activities work better than others. It is important to study the parents' motives and experiences of participating in parental supporting programmes. In child health care, mostly among the nurses, there is a contrast between what th

The reactions between trans-[Au(CN) 2 X 2 ] - (X = Cl or Br) and Me 2 S have been studied by conventional and high-pressure stopped-flow spectrophotometry in acidic aqueous solution containing 10% (w/w) methanol. The overall stoichiometry Au III ∶Me 2 S is 1∶(1.0 ± 0.1) in agreement with the reaction: trans-[Au(CN) 2 X 2 ] - + Me 2 S + H 2 O → [Au(CN) 2 ] - + Me 2 SO + 2H + + 2X - . Initial rapid

The aim of this study was to examine social workers educational material about violent extremism. This included investigating how violent extremism and risk behaviors are produced and how they can be interpreted by social workers. In many ways extremism and democracy can be regarded as contradictory to each other. Therefore an important part of the preventive work aims to protect the democracy aga

The easy way to find out whether or not there is a certain Swedish archival collection preserved in any archival institution, is to make a quick search in a free and public reference database named Nationell arkivdatabas (National Archival Database), NAD, preferably if you don’t have any clear geographical area to narrow the research. But if there isn’t any relevant result to retrieve in NAD, what

There is an increasing shift of hope from international negotiations to local actors for promoting sustainability by ‘thinking globally while acting locally’. Municipalities are such carriers of hope, taking on increasing responsibility as implementers of sustainability. The problem is that sustainability is a social construction site, and implementing it means ‘making it up as you go’. With this

Denna framställning berör kränkningar som riktar sig mot den personliga integriteten och som framförs via internet. Nätbaserade kränkningar är ett problem vilket drabbar många enskilda som deltar i debatter eller har delar av sina sociala liv på internet. Olika grupper utsätts för olika typer av kränkningar och vissa grupper är mer utsatta än andra. Det är viktigt att lagstiftningen håller sig uppThis essay aims to investigate the legal consequences of online harassment. Violations of the personal privacy of frequent social media users are a growing problem, which affects a big part of the population. Current legislation regarding different kinds of harassment is mainly focused on physical acts. This might be problematic since online harassment does not take place in the physical world but

What is the relation between densification and social sustainability? This project work examines the impact of densification on social sustainability carried out by municipalities. The impact on social sustainability through involvement of the general public in the decision-making process of densification, will also be looked at. A case study of Lund municipality’s management and control processes

Cementstabiliserad asfalt (CSA) är ett kompositslitlager bestående av en asfaltbeläggning med högt hålrum som är fyllt med en cementbaserad slamma. Produkten kan därför kallas för ett semiflexibelt slitlager på grund av att egenskaper från både asfalt och betong kombineras. Egenskaperna som kännetecknar CSA är asfaltens elasticitet samt cementens bärighet och beständighet, hög motståndskraft mot kCement stabilized asphalt (CSA) is a composite layer consisting of an asphalt with high cavity which is filled with a cement-based slurry. The product can therefore be called a semiflexible wearing course because of its combined characteristics from both asphalt and concrete. The characteristic features of CSA are the asphalts elasticity and the cements buoyancy and resistance, high resistance aga
