A discussion about biographical methods and a comparision between my biography of Oscar I, swedish king 1844-1859, and my biographies of women in the 1900-th century.

The aim of this paper is to make an investigation of how authoritative conceptual framework about immigrants as a group is being constituted in the discourse regarding Swedish language for immigrants. I will also examine what connections there are to the overarching integration discourse. While doing this I try to establish the contrasting relationship between the ?Swedishness? and ?the Other?. My

Abstract in Danish Denne afhandling handler om livskvalitet hos ældre mennesker med kræft. Risikoen for at få kræft stiger med alderen, og til trods for at de fleste mennesker, der får kræft er ældre, har forskning i hvordan ældre lever med en kræftsygdom været yderst begrænset. Viden om hvordan ældre mennesker oplever det at få en kræftdiagnose og hvordan de lever med sygdommen er en forudsætningOver the coming decades, the numbers of elderly will increase, and through improved lifestyles and better treatment longevity has increased, and with it, the risk of contracting cancer. How elderly people live with cancer has until now attracted limited research. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the QoL of elderly persons from the time of a cancer diagnosis through the following s

The National Innovation System (NIS) is an interactive model of innovation that has the potential of better enhancing the use of knowledge for economic development. This approach is increasingly capturing the attention of developing economies as a means of utilizing knowledge for economic growth. This paper assesses how the NIS concept is being embraced in the East African (EA) region. It does so

Changes in ligand binding to adrenoceptors ([3H]prazosin to α1-receptors, [3H]idazoxan to α2-receptors and [125I]cyanopindolol to β-receptors) following transient cerebral ischemia were investigated using autoradiographic methods. The binding was quantified in brain sections from control rats, rats subjected to 15 min of 2-vessel occlusion ischemia, and rats with recirculation times of 1 h, 1 week

Weather impacts several aspects of our daily life, of which the way we travel is one. The relationship between weather phenomena and ridership of trains has not received much attention previously. The study we present here aims to understand the impact of temperature, wind, and precipitation on passenger volumes for commuter trains. To do so we make use of automatic passenger count and weather dat

Background: In this paper, we share our experiences of using ‘photovoice’ methodology as a way to generate data in intensive care units concerning the place and space of care. We have adapted and modified ‘photovoice’ in researching people's lived experiences of ICU. Researching lived experiences in an intensive care context is challenging because of the complex nature of critical care. Aim: This

Field-theory simulation by the complex Langevin method offers an alternative to conventional sampling techniques for exploring the forces driving biomolecular liquid–liquid phase separation. Such simulations have recently been used to study several polyampholyte systems. Here, we formulate a field theory corresponding to the hydrophobic/polar (HP) lattice protein model, with finite same-site repul

The main purpose of this brief reflection is to examine the relationship between (a) Muslim communal values of neighborliness, mutual support and responsibility for those living together in a defined, spacial community and b)the built environment and structures of mosques and community gathering spaces, with a focus on how the existence of such a built environment and infrastructure helps to devel
