Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen argumenterar författaren för att antisemitismen var självklar i Sverige årtiondena kring sekelskiftet 1900. Antisemitismen kom till uttryck bland annat i skämtpressen. Den sistnämnda utgjorde ett viktigt inslag i såväl den framväxande masskulturen som i den politiska kulturen. Det var inte minst via skämtpressen som bilden av "juden" som en "rastyp" skildIn this dissertation it is argued that anti- Semitism was self evident in Sweden at the turn of the century 1900. Through an analysis of the comic press, which was a crucial element in mass culture and political life, the author tries to demonstrate how the everyday version of a national Swedish identity was constructed in opposition to 'The Jew'.In the decades either side of 1900, anti-Semitism h

As part of the UNESCO project "Establishment of a National Inventory and Electronic Database of Lithuanian Intangible Cultural Heritage" the authors, representing the EU-funded project "European Cultural Heritage Online" (ECHO) were invited to give a course in digital archiving called "Digitizing Intangible Cultural Heritage" in Vilnius, Lithuania, March 15 to 20, 2004. The present report summariz

The studies presented here have shown that it is fully possible to influence energy consumption through information. An increase in the knowledge among consumers will motivate them to be more energy efficient. Since several interrelated factors are involved in this knowledge level, it is difficult to establish the individual influences but such factors as the electricity bills, electricity meterin

In apparently monogamous or polygynous birds, sperm from several males may compete to fertilize the eggs laid by one female. In this study we evaluate sperm competition in the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) by means of a mate-switching experiment. Already-mated males were removed between 1-7 d before their mates started egg-laying, resulting in the female remating with a new male. The origin

This study investigates an intonation contour of German whose status has not been established yet: a globally falling contour with a slight rise at the very end of the phrase (FSR). The contour may be said to lie on a phonetic continuum between falling (F) and falling-rising (FR) contours. It is hypothesized that F, FR and FSR differ with respect to their communicative functions: F is terminal, FR

Lifetimes of high spin states in the nucleus Tc-90 have been measured via the fusion evaporation reactions Ni-58(Ar-36, 3pn)Tc-90 at 140 MeV and Ni-58(Cl-35, 2pn)Tc-90 at 120 MeV beam energy. The OSIRIS spectrometer as well as a new neutron-gamma-coincidence setup were used to measure lifetimes in the 10(-12) - 10(-9) s range by the recoil distance Doppler-shift method. By means of gamma-multiplic

The sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) DNA of the horse (Equus caballus) was determined. The length of the sequence presented is 16 660 bp. This figure, however, is not absolute due to pronounced heteroplasmy caused by variable numbers of the motif GTGCACCT in the control region of different molecules. Boundaries of the 13 peptide-coding genes were determined by the presence of start and stop codo

Nocturnal animals are said to sacrifice colour vision in favour of increased absolute sensitivity. This is true for most vertebrates that possess a dual retina with a single type of rod for colour-blind night vision and multiple types of cone for diurnal colour vision. However, among the nocturnal vertebrates, geckos are unusual because they have no rods but three cone types. Here, we show that ge

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Big Bang, då vårt Universum skapades, bildades i princip endast de två lättaste grundämnena, väte och helium. Alla andra grundämnen har skapats, och skapas fortfarande, i olika typer av stjärnor under olika utvecklingsfaser. Detta betyder att precis alla atomer, förutom väte och helium, som bygger upp alla saker, växter, djur och människor i vår omgivning, har bildatsDisregarding the small primordial traces of the lightest elements, all metals have been formed in stellar processes, which means that the relative amount of metals in the Universe increases for every stellar generation. This build-up of elements is called chemical evolution and might be used both to constrain stellar models as well as understanding the formation and evolution of stellar population

In this paper, we propose a method for selfcalibration of a robotic manipulator force observer, which fuses information from force sensors and accelerometers in order to estimate the contact force exerted by a manipulator to its environment, by means of active motion. In robotic operation, during contact transition accelerometers and force sensors play a very important role and serve to overcome m

Denna uppsats övergripande syfte har varit att redogöra för och analysera gällande upphovsrätt i förhållande till tillhandahållandet av en länk som leder till olagligen publicerat material. Ämnet är högaktuellt då EU-domstolen så sent som i höstas meddelade en dom i det så kallade GS Media-målet, där denna typ av länkning behandlades för första gången. Analysen har gjorts utifrån upphovsrättshavThis thesis investigates the regulation of copyright infringement, in relation to the provision of a link that leads to illegally published works. The topic is highly relevant, since the CJEU recently handed down a judgment in the so called GS Media case, where linking to work published without the consent of the rights holder, was assessed for the first time. The analysis is written from a copyr

Even though human rights and human rights education are generally viewed as something worth achieving, unfortunately the extent of which human rights is implemented in education in the Swedish school system is a poorly researched area. This study sets out to change that and to discover the ideas and reflections upon human rights as a subject of four pre-service upper secondary school social scienc

FN-stadgan förhandlades fram, efter andra världskriget, i syfte att minimera risken för framtida krig och ställa all våldsanvändning under FN:s kontroll. Art 2.4 FN-stadgan förbjuder stater att bruka våld och art 51, rätten till självförsvar, är ett undantag från våldsförbudet. Tanken bakom undantaget är att garantera medlemsstaterna rätt till självförsvar om det uppstår en väpnad attack. Syftet

This study examines the representation of everyday lives of men and women in a popular Swedish magazine, Husmodern, in the 1950s. The ”small history” of the 1950s is a relatively forgotten part of modern history and the era is often reduced to nostalgia in popular culture, but rarely researched through a thorough, theoretical lense. By applying the theory of R.W. Connell about Hegemonic Masculinit

The goal of this essay has been to analyze how hospital counselors establish a professional relationship with dying patients and treat them with compassion and professionalism. We wanted to find out how a counselor creates a supportive conversation and how a balance through closeness and distance is established. A qualitative study was done were we interviewed eight hospital counselors tied to pal

Water is not a popular solvent for SFC because it usually causes peak distortion. In a previous study in the lab it was shown that a water/organic solvent ratio of 9:1 in sample diluent actually produced sharper peak shape compared with the ratio of 1:9. The aim of the current study is thus to do a systematic study of the effect of water in the sample diluent on the retention behaviors of the anal

Recent public opinion research and elite deliberation has established a particular interest in galvanizing an EU army to better enforce a sense of integration, stability and strengthin the Union. This article proposes an alternative mechanism, privileging Richard Rosecrance’s concept of the ‘virtual state’ as anequally important and worthyfactor contributing to all those aspects. The fourdefining

Elektromagnetiska vågor, även kända som radiovågor, är vågor som sprider sig med låga frekvenser från 3 till 30 kHz. Dessa lågfrekventa vågor används vanligtvis när man önskar kommunicera med ubåtar. De kan emellertid också användas på land för att mäta skillnader i jord– och bergarters elektriska konduktivitet. Denna mätteknik kallas Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) och har framgångsrElectromagnetic waves, also known as radio waves, which propagate at low frequencies of only 3 kHz to 30 kHz, are usually used for communication with submarines. However, these waves can also be used on land to measure differences in the electrical conductivity of the subsurface. This technique is called Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) and has been successfully used to gain an insight
