English title: Song writing and gender. The purpose of this study has been to find out if there are any differences between women's and men's song writing processes, primarily in the singer/songwriter genre. I have interviewed three female songwriters and three men about their way of writing songs. The result shows mainly that there are not any gender related differences in the way songs a

Utbildning i hållfasthetslära är självklar för den som bygger konstruktioner som ska hålla i åratal. Lika självklart borde det vara med hållfasthetslära för människor som ska hålla i åratal. Att människor saknar kunskap om mänsklig hållfasthet visas tydligt i antalet långtidssjukskrivningar för utmattningssyndrom. Människor som saknar en god självkänsla bygger sitt hus på en instabil grund. När de

Popular Abstract in Swedish Industriell produktion av bärkonserver innefattar flera enhetsoperationer, vilka alla påverkar sensoriska så väl som näringsmässiga kvaliteter hos produkten. Upptiningen är ett speciellt kritiskt steg eftersom förändringar i både kemisk sammansättning och textur sker. Upptining av jordgubbar i designade lösningar visade att bärens fasthet såväl som viktsförlusterna gickThe industrial production of preserves includes several unit operations which all affects sensorial properties as well as the nutritional value of the final product. Thawing is a crucial unit operation, since then both chemical and physical changes take place. Thawing strawberries in selected aqueous media could gave both firmer strawberries and smaller weight loss than if air was used as the tha

Despite a number of corporate governance reforms introduced following an Anglo-American blueprint, the Swedish corporate governance system still contains several country-specific traits. In this article, we try to understand this continuity of the national corporate governance system. We do this by outlining a model for describing the processes of change built on Mary Douglas’ (1986) theory of ‘in

I denna AMM-rapport presenteras åtgärdsförslag som syftar till att förbättra skolledares arbetsmiljö. Rapporten är en del av forskningsprojektet ”Skolledares arbetsmiljö: Ett projekt om organisatoriska förutsättningar, stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa, personalrörlighet och förbättringspotential” som finansierats av AFA Försäkring (dnr 170094). Åtgärdsförslagen har samlats in med hjälp av enkäter, g

Missions are being discussed widely within the European Union and beyond as a tool to steer policy, innovation, and research. Similar to other missions – to the moon, to cure cancer, and to eradicate smallpox – the missions-oriented approach seeks to set bold and radical goals to tackle our pressing environmental and social challenges. In this episode, we discuss the missions-oriented approach for

When corporations are faced with accusations of crime, they usually find it necessary to justify their actions to the public, the media and their shareholders. Corporate self-defense, aimed at protecting a corporation’s image and legitimacy, belongs to a broader category of offenders’ denials and neutralizations.

Sound and radio can be used to estimate the distance between a transmitter and a sender by correlating the emitted and received signal. Alternatively by correlating two received signals it is possible to estimate distance difference. Such methods can be divided into methods that are robust to noise and reverberation, but give limited precision and sub-sample refinements that are sensitive to noiseSound and radio can be used to estimate the distance between a transmitter and a sender by correlating the emitted and received signal.

Compensational voting refers to when voters cast a vote for a more extreme party than they prefer, in order to push policies closer to an ideal point. This article develops the idea of compensational voting in regard to pre-electoral coalition signals and polling trends. The argument is that a significant share of voters consider the relative strength of the parties in their preferred pre-electora

Vilken betydelse har det förvetenskapliga för vetenskapen? Vilka betydelser kan det ha? Ska vi som forskare eftersträva största möjliga vetenskaplighet från början till slut? Annorlunda uttryckt: Ska vi metodiskt trycka bort våra förvetenskapliga impulser? Eller ska vi tvärtom välkomna dem? Att följa varje förvetenskaplig impuls, var vi än befinner oss i forskningsprocessen, skulle förmodligen få

I början av juni presenterade Straffreformutredningen En straffreform. I betänkandet föreslås en rad straffskärpande åtgärder. Påföljdssystemet ska bygga på ett val mellan villkorligt och ovillkorligt fängelse, närmare 50 straffskalor ska skärpas, och systemet för att bestämma straff ska ses över. Syftet är att fler och längre fängelsestraff ska dömas ut. Straffreformutredningen uppskattar att för

Livsmedelsstrategin beskriver en vision som innebär att den svenska livsmedelskedjan år 2030 ska vara globalt konkurrenskraftig, innovativ, hållbar och attraktiv. Men i verkligheten präglas den av främst små och medelstora företag med begränsade investeringar och lågt fokus på FoU. Samtidigt finns det ett större utbud av livsmedelsprodukter på marknaden som gör det svårt för konsumenterna att välj

During the Late Iron Age, a large variety of dogs and the earliest evidence of dog leashes appear in Scandinavia. This study is based on an analysis of the dogs in the Nabberör boat grave on the island of Öland in relation to dogs from other burials and settlements.Breeding and care of the dogs have been analysed through the integrated life stories of individual dogs, based on age, sex and health

Om en person på regelbunden basis skaffar sig sitt uppehälle genom att stjäla från sina medmänniskor kan man säga att vederbörande försörjer sig genom att stjäla. Varför väljer någon ett sådant leverne och hur har livsstilskriminella försvarat vad de gjort för att skaffa sig mat på bordet? I detta kapitel diskuteras hur svenska straffångar resonerade kring sitt eget tjuvaktiga beteende under förs

In this paper, I discuss resistance against antisemitism in relation to the overall antiracist struggle. Inspired by postcolonial theory and critical race studies, and by locating notions of “Swedishness” at the core of the analysis, I show that antisemitism can be understood as a form of structural racism entangled with other racisms.
