I boken redogörs för resultatet av ett jämställdhetsprojekt på en forskarutbildning vid universitetet i Lund. Tolv gästprofessorer – alla kvinnor – arbetade med doktorander i sociologi, socialantropologi, rättssociologi och medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap. I seminarier och individuella samtal diskuterades frågor kring avhandlingsarbete, artikelskrivande och universitetsvärldens genusstrukturer.

Policymakers in publicly funded health-care systems are frequently required to make intricate decisions on which health-care services to include or exclude from the basic health-care package. Although it seems likely that the concept of individual responsibility is an essential feature of such decisions, it is rarely explicitly articulated or evaluated in health policy. This paper presents a tenta

This paper explores two different approaches to information processing and learning in societal safety efforts; stressing the specifics and aiming at the general. How the two approaches relate to higher-level efforts at societal safety is discussed, as well as the relationship between the two approaches and their consequences. As a background, the paper briefly explores the concept of generic capa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Föreliggande arbete syftade till att utveckla en ny effektivare metod för undersökning av ögats synfält. Synfältet kan definieras som allt ett fixerande öga kan uppfatta. Det perifera seendet mäts vid synfältsundersökning (perimetri). Hos patienter som drabbats av den vanliga ögonsjukdomen grön starr (glaukom) reduceras synen i olika områden av synfältet. Skadorna är ofPerimetric threshold examination is the most important method for diagnosing and monitoring patients with glaucoma. Such examination, however, is time-consuming and often difficult for the elderly patients in whom glaucoma is prevalent. Shorter test strategies have been proposed, but unfortunately also with lower test quality. By using new computer-intense techniques for acquisition and processing

Abstract in UndeterminedSemantics is generally defined as the study of meaning. The meaning of words, phrases, and texts is the subject of semantics in linguistics, but in psychology the scope is wider, including knowledge of facts and concepts as well. In cognitive neuroscience both uses appear, often with an im- plicit understanding that knowledge and language meaning use the same neural system.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Luften omkring oss består inte bara av gaser. I den finns det mängder av små partiklar. De partiklar som står i fokus i den här avhandlingen är mindre än 10 μm, vilket endast är en femtedel av ett hårstrås diameter. Dessa partiklar är tillräckligt små för att kunna förflyttas långa sträckor i atmosfären och har dessutom visat sig påverka människors hälsa negativt. Man hAerosol particles are found in the whole troposphere. Research regarding these particles has gained increased attention because of the effect the particles have on both health and climate. In the atmosphere, aerosol particles scatter incoming solar radiation and this has a cooling effect on the Earth’s climate. But there are particles, especially those containing soot, which can absorb sun light a

Avian mothers convey significant quantities of androgens (i.e. ?male? steroids) to their eggs, which are known to positively influence embryonic development, post-natal growth and competitive behaviour of the offspring. However, there is large inter-female variation in the amount of androgens transferred to the eggs. Recent studies suggest that this variation may be maintained because the positive

The dissertation explores the relationship between Aby Warburg’s unfinished picture atlas Mnemosyne and the visualization of Art History around 1800/1900 in an attempt to understand the historical conditions regarding the picture atlas and other visual devices constructed by Warburg and his staff at the Kulturwissenschaftlichen Bibliothek Warburg (K.B.W.) in Hamburg during the 1920s.
