In this case study the planning process of the new modernist city district of Hyllie in Malmö, Sweden is analyzed through a neoliberal and power theoretical perspective. From the original plans as a part of the great Swedish Million Program in the 1960's - 1970's not much happened to this wide arable landscape until the industrial crisis hit Malmö in the 1980's. This crisis caused larg
Att Detektera en Neutrino I dagens Universum är allting vi kan se; alla varelser, alla planeter och alla stjärnor, uppbyggda av materia. Trots detta tror man att det i Big Bang skapades lika mycket antimateria som materia, men att all denna antimateria på något sätt har försvunnit. Ett steg på vägen att förklara detta kan vara att undersöka vissa skillnader mellan neutriner och antineutriner, vilAbstract Today, the neutrino oscillation is very well established by experiment. It is described by a theoretical framework similar to that of quark mixing. Here is included a CP violating phase, delta_CP, which is the only known possible source of CP violation in the lepton sector. So far, delta_CP is completely unconstrained by experiment, and the determination of the value of delta_CP could fu
Det går inte att bortse från den stora efterfråga som idag råder gällande ny utveckling av metoder för att ersätta icke förnybara material (så som stål och betong exempelvis) med förnybara material (såsom trä) i lastbärande konstruktioner. Trä som material har en del nackdelar och det är just dessa man skulle vilja eliminera eller begränsa för att nå fram till ett material med minimal påverkan för
Lagen om anställningsskydd infördes år 1974 för att trygga anställningen för alla enskilda arbetstagare på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Tidigare hade arbetstagarnas rättigheter reglerats i kollektivavtal och endast vissa arbetstagares rättigheter var reglerade i lag. Några regler som infördes i 1974 års lag var bland annat saklig grund för uppsägning enigt 7 § LAS. För att saklig grund skulle anseThe Employment Protection Act from 1974 was implemented in to Swedish law as a way to secure the employments of the employees. Before the implementation of the Act, the rights of the employees were regulated in collective agreements. By then there were only some rights regulated in the law. Some of the regulations that were implemented in to the Employment Protection Act was the 7§. The 7 § states
Popular Abstract in Swedish Organisationskreativitet och psykologiskt v älbefinnande. I den föreliggande avhandling föreslås det att hur kreativitet och innovation uttrycks i organisationen är kontextberoende. Att kreativitet och innovation kan bidra till en ekonomisk tillväxt är allmänt känt. I denna avhandling föreslås det att kreativtet och innovation också kan leda till ett bättre psykologisktOrganizational creativity and psychological well-being. Present day organizations in a globalized society are experiencing external challenges and changes more than ever before and in order to adapt and react to these changes creativity and innovation are seen as some of the most important means. The standpoint in this thesis is that all employees have creative potential, and how the creative pote
Popular Abstract in Swedish Värmebehandling av livmoderslemhinnan med ballongkateter - en ny metod att behandla rikliga mensblödningar. Mera än 11% av svenska kvinnor besväras av rikliga menstruationer (menorrhagi). När läkemedelsbehandling mot menorrhagi inte hjälper kan livmodern opereras bort. Varje år, i Sverige, opereras livmodern bort hos 4-5000 kvinnor på grund av rikliga mensblödningar. DThermal endometrial destruction by means of a silicone balloon catheter is a new form of treatment for menorrhagia aimed at reducing menstrual blood loss. The purpose of the present work was to study, experimentally, the thermal effects on and the thermal conductivity of uterine tissue, to obtain a basis for the estimation of optimal treatment conditions by means of numerical analyses using a comp
Investigation of astrophysical plasmas, such as stellar atmospheres, require both knowledge of atomic structure and data. We present laboratory instruments, techniques and tools for acquisition of the data required to derive important atomic parameters such as, wavelengths, oscillator strengths and line profiles. In this thesis new atomic data for advancement of stellar atmosphere analysis are pre
Biotechnology and genetic engineering raise a number of new ethical problems. Consequently, over the past 15 years, several European countries, including the Nordic countries, have passed new laws in an attempt to deal with the ethical problems posed by biotechnology. These developments raise the question of how to formulate legislation to regulate both the technical and ethical aspects of biotech
Wild bee populations are threatened by current agricultural practices in many parts of the world, which may put pollination services and crop yields at risk. Loss of pollination services can potentially be predicted by models that link bee abundances with landscape‐scale land‐use, but there is little knowledge on the degree to which these statistical models are transferable across time and space.

Background: Diabetes is associated with systemic complications. Prevalence of diabetic nephropathy, and retinopathy, in type 1 diabetes is declining but it is not known if this is true also for diabetic neuropathy.Aim: To investigate the relationship between large fiber diabetic neuropathy and other diabetic complications.Materials and methods: Neuropathy, defined here as large fiber neuropathy, w
In transplants of embryonic striatal cells placed into the excitotoxically lesioned rat striatum (a model of Huntington's disease), as many as 60 to 90% of the grafted cells are believed to die. Caspase activation is part of a cascade of events that can lead to apoptosis. We investigated the effect of the caspase inhibitor acetyl-tyrosinyl-valyl-alanyl-aspartyl-chloromethylketone (Ac-YVAD-cmk) on In transplants of embryonic striatal cells placed into the excitotoxically lesioned rat striatum (a model of Huntington's disease), as many as 60 to 90% of the grafted cells are believed to die.

The role of the fracture process region during fast fracture is discussed. Reviewed experiments on modern pressure vessel steels show that already at crack tip speeds of one or two hundred mls fracture processes are dominantly brittle. Modelling of the process region is discussed in the light of asymptotic elastic plastic fields and process region autonomy. It is suggested that a fraction of the cThe role of the fracture process region during fast fracture is discussed.

Geological time is by many geoscience instructors considered a threshold concept for geoscience students, being acentral concept for how we experience geosceince phenomena that takes place on a spatio-temporal scale rangingfrom micro (e.g. cloud formation) to macro (e.g. plate tectonics). If one wishes to understand geoscience phenomenathat goes beyond human perception, one must move from the conc
This paper addresses possibilities and challenges on the methodological level during the initial phase of a practice-based research project. The research project aims to contribute to knowledge about pupils’ participation and influence in decision-making from the perspectives of teachers, leaders, and pupils in Sweden’s Art and Music Schools. A further aim is to contribute to the development of pr
Choir singing has been suspended in many countries during the Covid-19 pandemic due to incidental reports of disease transmission (Hamner et al. Citation2020). The mode of transmission has been attributed to exhaled droplets, but with the exception of a study on tuberculosis from 1968, there is presently almost no scientific evidence of increased particle emissions from singing (Loudon and RobertsChoir singing has been suspended in many countriesduring the Covid-19 pandemic due to incidental reportsof disease transmission.

Why should moral philosophers, moral psychologists, and machine ethicists care about computational complexity? Debates on whether artificial intelligence (AI) can or should be used to solve problems in ethical domains have mainly been driven by what AI can or cannot do in terms of human capacities.

In this study we acquire an insight into the songwriting processes of eight female artists and music teachers. We investigate their creative processes, their thoughts on creativity and songwriting and the methods they use when composing. The informants share some of the challenges they face during the process and how to overcome them. Furthermore, we learn about factors enhancing the songwriting a
