Maten handlar om vår fysiska överlevnad, men maten har också viktiga sociala funktioner i familjen/hushållet. I vår undersökningen ser vi hur konsumtionen ser ut i familjerna; konsumtionen blir en utbytesprocess mellan barn och föräldrar, mellan flickor och pojkar. Rapporten baserar sig på en empirisk studie med gruppintervjuer med 7-8 åriga barn från fyra nordiska länder, Sverige, Norge, Danmark Food is essential for our survival, but food has important social functions in the family/household as well. In our study we examine how consumption looks in the family; consumption becomes a process of exchange between children and parents, and between girls and boys. The report is based on an empirical study consisting of group interviews with 7-8 year old children from four Nordic countries: Sw

Popular Abstract in Undetermined Syftet med avhandlingen är dels att undersöka författarbiografin som litterär text, dels att finna en rimlig ståndpunkt i den teoretiska debatt där biografins fiktionalitet har lyfts fram. I inledningen tar jag upp den teoretiska utveckling som rör detta metaperspektiv. För att ge en ram både åt dessa resonemang och mitt eget val av undersökningsobjekt, ger jag ockThe aim of the present thesis is twofold: to examine literary biography as literary text and, on the basis of my findings, to adopt a reasonable perspective on the theoretical debate about the fictionality of such biographies. In my introduction I trace the theoretical developments underlying this metaperspective and supply with an historical survey of literary biography as practised in Sweden. In

This paper draws attention to a hitherto almost completely neglected encyclopaedic medical handbook composed around 950 CE: al-Muʿālajāt al-Buqrāṭiyya (Hippocratic treatment) attributed to the physician Abū al-Ḥasan Aḥmad b. Muḥammad aṭ-Ṭabarī. The handbook consists of ten books further divided into altogether 473 chapters. Since 1990, the work is available as a facsimile-print published by Sezgin

The last ten years have seen a sharp increase in externally supported capacity development initiatives for disaster risk management. However, not all of them have generated sustainable results. The purpose of this paper is to scrutinize the current focus on training as the main tool for capacity development in the context of disaster risk management, and to argue for the necessity to address capac

This thesis is divided into two parts in which two different aspects of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Project are discussed. The first part describes the design of a transition radiation tracker (TRT) for the inner detector in ATLAS. In particular, the barrel part was studied in detail. The barrel TRT consists of 52 544 1.5-m-long proportional tubes (straws), parallel to the beam axis and each

Using protons in the MeV range as excitation source and a high resolution Si(Li) detector,X-ray emission spectroscopy is shown to be capable of analyzing many elements with Z > 15 simultaneously at the 10-12 g level. This work discusses a theoretical lower limit of detection at moderate proton energies and gives examples of possible applications: analysis of the elemental composition of air-borne
